Amazing happy hour- Mondays all night and Wednesday/Friday afternoons for cheap tacos and drinks. Do not miss the Roasted Pork tacos (al pastor) that are incredibly flavorful and PACKED with meat
Tiana Bettinson
The food was great, offered unique twists on classic favorites, and it was a good price! I found this looking for restaurants in the area and was not disappointed. They offered chips and salsa free of charge
Georgia Rakusen
Really friendly staff, food was top notch. I HIGHLY recommend the fish taco. Marguerites also excellent.
Lee Stat
Food and service was great. I would recommend. Everything that we ordered was very good. The place was very clean and the service was fast. The only thing that didn’t taste authentic was guacamole.
Ines Pena
Went here twice. Both times, the food and margaritas were on the money, and servers were attentive & friendly. The restaurant is very cozy, with a homely feeling. And let's not forget to mention the decent prices too.

The best Mexican food I’ve had over several states and years. Chicken mole burrito is unbeatable. Their fresh guac is excellent. Cute outdoor seating area.

Nuevo Mexico has some of the most outstanding food that will ever grace your lips! Every food is freshly prepared and made with so much love and fresh ingredients. This gem of a restaurant is in my own neighborhood and has been here almost 30 years and I never knew about it. The decor from when you walk in is very rustic and makes you feel transported to Mexico in all the best ways then you get greeted by very friendly staff and then they bring you chips and salsa to start. The salsa is so amazingly good you already know everything afterwards is only going to get better. They have many flavors of margaritas to choose from and many different tequilas to use as well to enhance your margarita drinking experience. Their house margarita is the jalepeno margarita and if you like things a little spicy you will love it, if not all the rest of the margaritas are delish too. Now I had the fish tacos which I must say is the best tacos I ever ate before. I also had the shrimp tacos as well delicious but didn't have enough shrimp to be as fulfilling. Then I had the Camarones a la Mojo de Ajo and it comes with the most succulent jumbo shrimp in a smooth and flavor filled garlic sauce and yellow rice. It was beyond amazing and I wish I could eat this everyday! Affordable, yummy and they have happy hour all week long and also live music on Friday nights!
