I tried El Neuvo Mexico for the first time this weekend and was surprised at how great it was! I hadn't heard much about this restaurant but am glad I found this hidden gem! I'm from south Texas so I'm always looking for some Mexican food that isn't super "Tex Mexy" and actually reminds me of home. This place did not disappoint! I ordered the enchiladas with fajitas and my bf got the burrito with barbacoa and chipotle sauce. The fajitas were a little bit dry, but the overall combination of enchilada sauce, rice, and beans was so nostalgic to what I'd eat growing up that I'm more than okay with it!The service was great! They were friendly, attentive, and always made sure we were stuffed with chips and salsa. Lots of large groups of families were there and there was more than enough space to accommodate their parties. I really enjoyed my meal here and would definitely come back for a warm meal that reminds me of home. I would love to try their breakfast, margaritas, and desserts because it all looks great!

We were pleasantly surprised by the nice experience that we had here last night after hunting for a new Tex-Mex place to try out since we're experiencing a bit of burnout from our local haunts.El Nuevo Mexico is located in that nondescript complex where Anderson and Lamar merge, and the first thing that you notice when you come in here is that it's enormous inside. Lots of real estate here! We were quickly sat and provided with some good chips and respectable salsa. The frozen marg was definitely superior to what we were expecting, and the "rita" cocktail was strong and fruity. The queso our daughter took it upon herself to order is the standard gooey kind, but it wasn't runny, so we did appreciate that.Our mains were a bit more ho-hum. The black bean bowl was simply the list of ingredients and could have used a bit of a sauce to bring the whole thing together, but if you're looking for something mildly healthy, it's a good menu find. The barbacoa tacos had dry meat and really needed some acidity, so we ended up having to dump a lot of the salsa on them. Our daughter actually had a kids bean burrito that had a pretty impressive red sauce on it, so we kept stealing some off her plate for our own dishes. Perhaps we could have ordered better because we saw a fish dish come out of the kitchen that looked really good!Service is friendly and we liked the chill vibe, so while we're landing on three satisfied stars, we will say that this restaurant it better than most of its ilk, and we can see ourselves coming back at some point.

This restaurant is in the same plaza as my Buddhist community center, so we often come here to eat after meetings.On New Year's Day, we decided to eat there again. I wasn't feeling well, so I ordered the Tortilla Soup. It was the perfect choice for a soothing and healing meal.The small bowl was enough to satisfy my appetite and it contained a lot of delicious ingredients: corn on the cob (not typically included in tortilla soup, so this was a plus!), ample amounts of chicken, a large avocado wedge, cheese, and of course, tortilla strips. Topped with tasty cilantro, with a side of rice for the soup.The service is always good. They promptly bring drinks and chips and salsa. And they keep refilling the chips, so no one goes hungry!The atmosphere is friendly. A bonus for this trip was the large screen TV, perfect for viewing the UT game while eating. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great Tex-Mex in the north Austin area! We tried the shrimp enchiladas, chipotle chicken enchiladas, pollo poblano, and the steak. Everything was so flavorful and portions were large. Was a huge fan of their chips and salsa - couldn't stop eating it! Service was great with waiters constantly refilling our chips, salsa, and water before we even had to ask. Nice, family-friendly restaurant that's the perfect dinner option!

This is our main Mexican restaurant. The hot sauce is very spicy, very good. Enchiladas are great, though we always ask for the chipotle sauce, rather than chili sauce. Boracho beans, rice are good.I sometimes get the fish tacos; they're very good, with a good portion of fish.

Our family loves this place! Very good horchata (haven't had an issue with flavor or consistency) and their food is delicious!We love to come here on Tuesday (kids eat free after 3PM) for small family get togethers and have always had good service and delicious food!Parking is plenty and easy, with almost no wait time to be seated!I recommend the horchata, and any of their quesadillas.

A great spot for traditional old school Tex mex! Satisfied our childhood cravings and nostalgia! We shared a creamy Queso with fresh homemade crispy chips and salsa with a nice kick. Ordered the combo plate which included a crispy beef taco to start followed by a plate of rice and beans with a cheese enchilada and pork tamale covered in a chili sauce. Spot on! Staff was friendly and we were seated right away. Lots of parking

Really good chips and salsa.I typically order either the enchiladas poblanos (great if you like creamy enchiladas) or the verde enchiladas. Their chicken fajita quesadillas are a big portion and so good!Tried the chicken fajitas and they were good! Not sure these need to be over $20 but I wouldn't say no to getting them again.My bf likes their beef enchiladas. I do feel like overall the meat could be better seasoned, but it's by no means bad, just something they could improve on.Have I had better? Yes, but in other places. This place is really good for Austin. It's been a go-to for years.
