Arrived here from the State of Washington. There were 9 of us for dinner. The service was absolutely fantastic! Daniel Hurtado (I asked this man for his name as we left) was our waiter, he was so attentive to all of us even the children. He went above and beyond. The food was absolutely delicious! They had a menu that had anything and everything you'd ever want to eat. Everyone there was very nice, including the other patrons who were there eating. One woman got up and asked if she could take pictures of all of us so I was included. (I was taking pictures) she came over said "let me take them so you're in the pictures as well. It was a very nice warm and inviting place to eat and we'll NEVER FORGET Daniel! read more

Food and margaritas are always great! Not junk that has been sitting around in a warmer and all dried out or worse, swimming in oil. Wait staff are as great as their food, especially Nicholas, Angela, and Daniel!! Try them if you haven't been, you will be glad you did! read more

Food was really good and our Waiter was really polite and always made sure our drinks were full. They have a nice salsa bar also.

The salsa bar here is fantastic! I thought that Papa's and Beer had a good salsa bar. This place beats it! Try the tocayo and the mango for a real treat. I had the lunch shrimp fajitas and it was a great dish. I'd come here a bunch if I lived in the area. read more

Wow wow ! This place definitely has authentic flavors. Coming from someone who grew up eating this type of food I have to say it reminded me of our flavors. Staff was SUPER friendly and welcoming. Honestly such great service which made the whole experience even better. The kids have a great selection of food to order from and that's from 12 years and younger. My daughter had the enchilada with beans and rice and she devoured it! My son had the shrimp quesadilla and that was gone in seconds. I decided to get the quesabirria and it was so tasty. The consomé was very flavorful and the tortilla was crispy. My fiancé had the mojarra and that in itself was fried perfectly. They have a salsa bar in the back that has a lot of different types of salsas that are super authentic and flavorful. The place is very clean and pleasant with tons of space and comfortable booths. I'm so happy I took a peak at other 5 star raving reviews and I definitely agree this is the spot for good Mexican food. read more

food is goooodddddd! Service is gooddd. This time my portion of fajitas was so smallllllll. Barely enough for 2 tortillas. Definitely recommend but for $17 I expected more read more

Super kind staff!! Enchiladas were 10/10. The pineapple bev was so good. Authentic style food. Highly recommend.

Had high expectations given the 4.7 star reviews but sadly the food didn't make the grade with us. With that said the service was good. And that's the long and short of it. read more

We went here last week while visiting the area for a USPSA match. Stopped in here as it was close to our hotel. That was a mistake. The service was good, we were seated in the bar, so it was loud, the place was clean enough. The food, however, was a huge disappointment. I had the pollo fundido ... an interesting take ... I had burnt chicken chunks rolled in a tortilla with white sauce .. no cream cheese or anything you might expect. One was burnt white meat and the other burnt dark meat. The chips were from a bad and the salsa was too wet to be Fram a jar. The guac, however, was pretty darn good. But, the server and guac don't make up for the food, which was just not good. read more

Amazing food awesome service. The plates were awesome portions. Definitely will go back soon.

We were on our way back from Greenville and decided to stop for some lunch. We were headed to Outback since it was one of the only non fast food options. We saw Puerto Nuevo and decided to stop there. GREAT DECISION! Some of the best Mexican food we have had. They offer a salsa bar with many different options. We had Dos Pelones and Tacos Puerto Nuevo, they were DELICIOUS! The portions were very large, so we could have split something, but now we have leftovers! HUGE menu and service was wonderful. Will definitely come back when in the area. read more

Great food , the services outstanding. This place will take care of you and make you feel that they care about you when you are eating your meals there. I highly recommend this place read more

The restaurant menu is very large. They have lunch specials. They serve a lot of food for the price. The beef burrito was very filling, mild on spice, served With guacamole and pico de gallo, refried beans and Spanish rice. I hade the chili relleno with beef enchiladas served with rice and refried beans. Mine Was a combo that I recommend if you want to try different items. They serve chips and a medium Spivey salsa. The service was very slow (there were my table and One other in the dining room) and we waited a long for the check. Comparable to any other Mexican restaurant. No surprises. read more

We stopped in here on our way home from Georgia. My husband and I were traveling with our adult daughter and 2 of our granddaughters ages 5 and 2 years old. We were greeted and seated as soon as we arrived. They took our drink order while we decided what eat. Once our order was placed our food came out pretty quickly. Everything was absolutely delicious. I got to pork carnitas and they were so tender and delicious. The bathroom was clean and stocked. We would definitely recommend this place. read more

Excellent atmosphere, food always fresh and delicious, cocktails always on point, I haven't had a drink that I don't like, their bartender really knows how to make drinks same goes to their chef or cooks Waitress are always nice and attentive, so far we have a favorite waitress her name is Mariana, she is very knowledgeable of the food and drinks menu We been here few times, my whole family loves the restaurant and I guess their most younger customer is the one that bring us here all the time, my 8 years old son, he loves to eat cut up steak with chips and melted cheese dip, that's how he likes it, he doesn't like everything mix together like the Nachos plate comes to and Mariana was the one who gave us the sugestión on how to order for him so so far we are all happy This is our to go restaurant in Anderson close to our new home. read more

Puerto Nuevo Anderson is a great Mexican restaurant. Typically I get pork fajitas and today I also ordered a tostada mixta with pulpo (octopus) as an appetizer.

We had such a good time here tonight. As always, the food was amazing as were the paloma cocktails. There was an actual live mariachi band performing tonight throughout the restaurant. The instruments were authentic and beautifully decorated and nice costumes and personable performers added to the ambience. I hope the place does this again. Maybe a summer outdoor thing would be cool. read more

BEST pozole and menudo in the state of SC. Coming from CA and TX, we haven't found really good Mexican food till now. We will be back.

Amazing place. Tried them out for the first time today, let me say, awesome. I asked the gentleman how big the margaritas were, he said small, large and MONSTER, with hand motions. The food was spectacular, I had the special enchilada, wow, it was huge. Shrimp, beef and chicken + peppers and onions covered in question cheese. My wife had shredded chicken nachos made just the way she likes. Definitely our new goto. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR GOOOOOOOOO ALREADY read more

If you have never had authentic Mexican food this is the place to go, I have never had authentic Mexican food in a restaurant,not in the United States atleast. anyone who says different doesn't know good food. read more

The food and service was excellent. The presentation of the dish was visually stunning, and the taste was even more impressive. The tender and perfectly grilled steak, paired with freshly made tortillas and a medley of vibrant toppings, created an explosion of flavors in my mouth. Each bite was a harmonious blend of savory, smoky, and tangy notes--a true fiesta for the taste buds. read more

Amigos, listen up. This is a hidden gem. I had a late lunch so I wasn't super hungry for dinner, but because I am a BIG burrito girl, I had to order nothing other than...a burrito. Keep in mind--I am a self-proclaimed burrito aficionado, and I thought it was SO good. I ate the whole thing without flinching. Remember I wasn't even hungry? Yeah, me neither. Don't even get me started on the guacamole. SO fresh. SO crispy. I'm one of those people that thinks cilantro tastes like soapy foot, and this guacamole had me unbothered by the cilantro. I don't know why but it hit. Top 2 guacamoles I have ever had. Hot salsa was also fire. My dad loves a good taco, so he ordered an assortment and thought they were great. They're now some of his favorite tacos. Cherry on top--nobody left with crippling stomach pain. All smiles. Vibes were right. Honestly, déjame decirte algo: go here!! read more

We live in Anderson and come to this restaurant once or twice a month. It is fabulous! Overall, quality ingredients and delicious food. The service has always been good and it's a clean restaurant with good energy. They have a salsa bar in the back - don't miss it! We have tried many dishes here. My go-to is the flautas - the chicken is thick and juicy with just the right amount of seasoning. The ends are crispy. Yum. My Mom loves to get the calamari when she's in town. It is always cooked perfectly - not rubbery at all. We have had the seafood cocktail, which was surprisingly filling! It was chock full of tasty seafood and overall delicious. If you like margaritas, they have a gajillion flavors. I used to get the guava margarita but I don't drink so much anymore. Someday I intend to try their crab legs because all of the other seafood we've tried has been excellent. I've had the steak with the cactus - wasn't super impressed with the steak but eating cactus was cool. We've had a sausage and pineapple dish that was great, a dish that if I remember correctly is green chicken chili - comes with tortillas, it's also very good. We've also tried standard stuff like the fajitas, taco salad, and nachos all very good. read more
