La Nueva Fresh & Hot

Came here off the recommendation of Blondewhoeats. She's been our burrito oracle for the DFW area, and every pick of hers has been a home run--until this one. We were hyped, ready for burrito bliss, but left scratching our heads wondering, if we came on an off day, based on how the reviews raved about these burritos. The place is very small, and it gets quite busy inside the restaurant. So be ready to wait a bit, if you did not order in advance. Food:- Big Burrito (6.5/10): We ordered the chorizo, egg, potato, and cheese--minus the beans. Let's start with the positive: this burrito was massive! If you have ever been to Freebirds, think of the Super Monster size, but for just $10. You're definitely getting a burrito that could double as a doorstop or a free weight. However, the flavor didn't live up to its impressive stature.The chorizo was the main culprit. It didn't taste like chorizo at all--I even paused mid-bite like, confused on what the meat was. The potatoes, on the other hand, were solid. They added a nice texture. I'm not ready to give up entirely--I'll give it another shot, hoping it was just an off day. Fingers crossed they redeem themselves.

I (like many) came here on the TT star "blondeswhoeat" recommendation. She said to get the "#8, big burrito" with: chorizo, eggs, potatoes, beans and extra cheese (I omitted the pico b/c I suspected there would be leftovers and that would be problematic to keep this fresh and ready to reheat. )This thing is the size of my forearm, no exaggeration, look at my photo. I will say that the "extra cheese" was fantastic direction, it really elevated the experience.All the tortillas are freshly made and you can see 3 people working the machine to pump them out (I admit to an error in NOT grabbing a bag of tortilla chips and some fresh tortillas.)There will likely be a line if you go there at breakfast, lunch or weekend brunch hours, but it goes pretty fast, so don't be discouraged. Don't count on eating inside either because there are only a few tables and a couple of counter spots (we did score a table, but that was just luck). Be prepared to wait about 15 mins for your order to come out hot and fresh. The parking lot is a bit of a nightmare too - too small and too tight. I really want to go back and try there and try other menu items, but will be hard-pressed to deviate.This place will be on a rotation on anyone who visits and asked for a great breakfast burrito. I know my sister loves one, so when she gets here - it will be on the (eating) agenda

Went for the Big breakfast burrito- it was bigger than my face! Incredible flavor- I got chorizo and the potato and beans added! The green sauce was so delicious I bought a container to go. The sweet employee at the counter also kindly brought my friend and I some corn tortillas or try and I ended up buying a package of those to take home as well! Wish I lived near this place!

The #8 Big Burrito is what you need to order! Such a huge burrito for a great price! I got mine fully loaded with all the extra toppings and it was so worth it!As far as logistics go, be prepared to wait! It's small and extremely hot inside. The parking lot gets crowded, but again it is worth the wait. I also got some guacamole and house made tortilla chips...another great choice! I look forward to going back and trying more menu options!

Have you ever had a breakfast burrito the size of a small baby? Well you can here! and for cheap! Ordered breakfast burrito with pastor, it was hot, delicious, and enormous. The jalapeño salsa was so fresh and a perfect pairing. Can't wait to be back to try the other plates.

I wanted to love La Nueva, but found my taco to be mid at best!I stopped by La Nueva for a quick bite to eat while in the area. I ordered a breakfast taco on a flour tortilla with egg, cheese, potato, and beans. I also got a side of their famous green salsa. Service was quick and the gentleman at the counter was very friendly!Overall, I found that the taco was missing a lot of flavor. The beans and potatoes could have had more salt and spice. The salsa tastes almost identical to Tacodeli's Creamy Jalapeno hot sauce, but I actually feel that Tacodeli's sauce is more complex in flavor. I did love the freshness of the tortilla and would come back to purchase a pack of those!

Fat tacos with so much meat that it is overflowing and falling out of the tortillas. (This is even better because since you are at a tortillaria so you can order a freshly made pack and turn your loaves and fishes into enough to feed at least two!) I had a lengua on corn and it was hands down one of the most flavorful tacos I've had in DFW. Carnitas on flour was better than average with lots of meat. Just not as flavorful. If I would've looked more carefully at the menu, I probably would've ordered a breakfast plate. But there's always next time!

Amazing food that is worth the wait! The service is fast and everything is made fresh when ordered. If you come at peak hours prepare to wait but know they are making the tortillas fresh and everything with it from scratch. This family owned business is run with a lot of heart and GREAT food.

AMAZING, just any item you get! You get your bang for your buck for realUna orden de chilaquiles verdes con huevo bien cocido y pollo de tinga makes my DAY . Love this place The service is amazing, they get you in and out and with the long lines it's hard to get worker's attention but not this place! So attentive. The ambience is this place is so welcoming. I'm a sales consultant for Toyota of Irving and I've been putting everyone on, in sales we rarely go out to get food but this place makes it worth it.

Great food. Hot sauce is hot. Only non Mexican but was fun. Had taco and burrito. All good got extra green sauce and tortillas to go with it
