    Food was great! I enjoy lengua tacos! Service was fast and didn't have to wait . La Nuevo is a laid back type of restaurant and good music.

    Chilaqulies Verde!

    Food was great. Clean and upbeat atmosphere! Taste like home made Mexican! Had the chiaquiles verde! Fresh made flour tortillas!!! Little slow on service.

    Really good "whole in the wall" Mexican restaurant. Came in for a quick bit very close to my work. Mostly speak Spanish here but very nice and quick. Ordered thre #12: quesadillas. Yummy. Will return.

    Tacos were so good. Beans & rice were as well. Best Horchata I've ever had. I will be back!

    Real deal authentic Mexican food. This is a tiny restaurant with a small parking lot. It's pretty hard to find parking around peak eating hours. Do not be its deceived by its appearance. This place is not about ambiance, it's about delicious food! Its old, a little rough around the edges, and always packed (and that is how you know it's going to be GOOD)! I noticed they now have a drive through window (maybe I just never noticed it!?). You can also order to-go food at the counter inside or be waited on at a table. Prices are very affordable! I have been coming here for over 12 years and I always get their chicken tacos (sometimes on corn/ sometimes on flour). I have not come here in quite awhile, so today I got the usual (a chicken taco on flour $1.45). The tortilla was fluffy and buttery. The tacos come with shredded chicken, grilled onion, fresh cilantro, and a lime. This place is consistently good every time! When in the area, give this place a try!

    Great place! Authentic mexican food and really good service! I ordered la tampeiqueña which I had never heard of. The dish consisted of a thinly-cut slab of beef with a cheese enchilada on top and rice and beans on the side. The meat was tender and flavorful! It was a lot of food, but would definitely order again!

The restaurant reveals itself to be larger once you're inside. It's a cozy dining experience and I liked the cluttered decor of Mexican tchotchkes and liquor bottles. The owners were very kind to reserve tables for our large group and arrange for us all to pay separately. I tried the cheese enchiladas and they were very filling - they came with Spanish rice and refried beans on the side. I was tempted by the taco salad... some fellow diners ordered it and they were serving size was enormous! Most dishes here seemed well suited to having enough leftovers for the next day.

Got pretty crowded by the time we left around 2:00 rising to a little bit noisy noise level. We got a guacamole side, taco plate, chicken chimichanga, and blue Cancun drink. Everything was pretty good sized. However, the guac and drink respectively were padded with lettuce and ice. Despite the padding, you still got a good amount--just not as much as it appears. The quality of everting was good, nothing was exceptional, but it was above average. The manager, server, and hostess were all very nice and provided good service. The lot was crowded both when we got there and when we left, but we were able to get a spot. Nice place for a casual sit down or business lunch. Give them a try.

They had to go and change things. They cut food from the menu. I loved the beef chimichanga. They no longer include soup with your order took butter off the table. They do still have the great warm salsa and chips. The beef fajitas are still real good and a good price. The flour tortillas are not as good as the old days. I like the margaritas as will. We still go just not as much as before. The service is very good for us sometimes like anywhere they have bad days. We go Friday night and the place used to be busy not anymore. I think it is because they change the menu.

We decided to head over to the ever popular El Arroyo. We were hoping to be able to find a parking spot in their packed parking lot. I say this kindly since El Arroyo is very popular and to plan accordingly. I'm an amputee and there are only two handicapped spaces. Arriving we were optimistic, and we were in luck. We didn't get a handicapped spot but one just as good on the end of a row allowing my lots of room to transfer to my mobility chair. We love El Arroyo's patio, and it was going full blast. The hostess tagged the perfect accessible table for us and had it cleaned and set! We settled in and were greeted with salsa and a basket of piping hot chips. There was an awesome vocalist singing America standards in the background. She was wonderful, I wish I had gotten her name. Ashley, our incredible server, greeted us and took our drink order. It was definitely margarita time. We love their margaritas! They're a must if you're dining at the restaurant. After looking at the menu, my wife and I decided to split an order of chicken fajitas for one. We've found out fajitas for one are perfect for the two of us. The order usually provides at least two fajitas for each of us. So that's what we ordered. This would be the first time we'd ordered fajitas at the restaurant. In a jiff, Ashley delivered our margaritas to the table. She apologized that the food may take a bit longer since it was Friday evening and the restaurant was slammed. We told her we were in no hurry and just wanted to relax. We sat back, munched on chips and salsa and enjoyed the live entertainment. After a reasonable wait, dinner was served! Our chicken fajita entree was delivered smoking and sizzling along with all the necessary sides. Oh my, the fajitas smelled so good. We knew by the smoky smell they were going to be incredible, and YES, they were. They were some of the best chicken fajitas we've ever had. The chicken had just the right amount of marinade on it, and it was grilled to perfection. The side, rice, refried beans, guac and pico, were perfectly prepared and seasoned. To the flour tortillas, they were some of the softest and most tender tortillas we've had. To top the evening's visit off, Ashley, even though she was super busy, took excellent care of us. Thank you, El Arroyo for a relaxing dining experience, superior customer service with a smile, and a pronominal order of chicken fajitas. We'll see you again soon.
