While passing through Dell Rapids during one of our little road trip adventures, my husband and I…read morestumbled upon this restaurant and decided to stop in and give it a try. One thing that immediately caught our attention was the building itself. Dell Rapids has a great deal of historic charm, and the restaurant is housed inside one of the town's older historic structures, which gives it a lot of personality before you even sit down. The atmosphere carries some of that preserved small-town character that makes these Midwest road trip discoveries enjoyable in the first place. The presentation of the food was honestly quite beautiful. The plating was polished, colorful, and thoughtfully arranged in a way that immediately raised our expectations. The dishes looked refined and carefully constructed, almost the sort of meals that make you instinctively reach for your phone to take photos before eating. Unfortunately, the actual flavors never really lived up to the visual presentation. That was the biggest disappointment for us. While everything looked appealing, most of the dishes wound up tasting fairly flat and underwhelming. Nothing was outright terrible, but very little had the depth, seasoning, or distinctiveness we were hoping for once we actually began eating. Service throughout the meal was decent enough, though the restaurant seemed somewhat overwhelmed at the time. There was a very large and extremely loud Friday gathering taking up much of the dining room and seemingly most of the staff's attention. It also appeared they may have been somewhat understaffed that afternoon, which likely contributed to the slower pacing and divided attention. Overall, the experience landed somewhere between average and slightly disappointing for us. Not actively bad, but not especially memorable either. The historic setting and attractive presentation certainly added points, but ultimately we left feeling underwhelmed by the food itself.

I have been here three times now. The food has been great each time. The drinks while they looked…read moregreat, were not so strong at all. I really love restaurants with Mexican food and also then seafood boils. While I enjoyed that, 2 times out of the 3 the service was NOT GREAT. The first time the Restaurant was not full but it seemed like maybe it was unclear to the servers which table they were in charge of so we were literally skipped a lot. Both sides of us got served. The second time we were asked if we had a reservation and we did not, we were seated in the bar area and literally ignored for at least 20 minutes. Finally one of the other servers from another area walked by and asked if anyone had taken out drink order and was surprised when we said no one has come by at all. There was another server that served both tables on either side of us but wouldn't even look towards us and there were only two of us. The third time, I went with a family and the service was attentive in the back area and fine. The person I went with before won't go again because the service was so bad and we spent a ton of money. I really wanted to like Nena's.

The waitress/ hostess/ bus girl was helpful and seemed to like her many jobs. The portions were good, and nothing was too spicy.

While the restaurant itself could use a makeover, the food makes it a great experience. I ordered a steak burrito, two chicken tacos (served with onions and cilantro) and an empanada.
