    Have been to Nuevo a bunch of times. Magaritas are fantastic. Try a flight of 3! Not you typical Mexican fare. No goop on a plate here! Always happy walking away!!

    The food and drinks were fantastic. The service was excellent and thorough. The only drawback was the very high volume of ambient nose when seated in the lower dining room. I will definitely be back.

    We had lunch on the roof top patio and it was gorgeous. A beautiful lunch spent celebrating a friends birthday with the perfect ambiance. Food was delicious! Service was flawless.

    All staff was friendly and helpful, however service was extremely slow. The water guy was the only person checking on us regularly. It took at least a half hour to get a drink each time, we all would have drank at least one more margarita but it took so long we just didn't. After we placed the food order, it was about an hour before we got it. It just took forever, We were there for 3 hours. The food was ok, no one loved it but no one hated it either. They are trying really hard to be fancy. There's really weird, random ingredients on every menu item. It did take us a long time to figure out what to order because most of the menu uses Spanish words that we weren't familiar with. It's a nice place for fancy hipsters with a lot of time on their hands.
