NuvoTaco

As a Californian, I was worried about finding good Mexican food in North Carolina, but this place is pretty amazing. It's a step up from your food truck but still classic Mexican food. My favorite are the nachos as they come with a white queso that's absolutely amazing. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating and the staff are pretty attentive.

First time visitor and a big fan. We were greeted quickly and offered chips and salsa while we ordered using the QR code. Food arrived quickly (seriously, like 4 minutes) and was hot and delicious. Guacamole was also fresh and ample. Cool environment. Definitely coming back next time I'm in the area.

We've been coming here for several years, starting back when it was NanaTaco. Overall the food is very good. Margaritas are excellent. Stick with the afterburn marg and you can't go wrong. This visit we had garlic beef burritos and nachos. The garlic beef had great flavor, good cut of meat. They aren't as large as they used to be, but still good. The cucumber salsa was very refreshing with the nachos. I do miss the different salsas and and sides they used to have which were amazing! The ordering system is all electronic which I'm sure some love, but I like to order in person to be able to ask questions and make any changes needed. The place has a nice relaxed atmosphere, fun for friends or just hanging out any say of the week. Can't go wrong here.

Love the food. Love the drink options, including milkshakes.Is it a bit more expensive than I would think based on the ambiance and electronic ordering? Yes.Would I return? Yes and have several times.The fish and roasted veggies in a bowl is my favorite dish.

In Durham and craving Mexican food, after reading the reviews I was so excited to try it out.Ordered a few plates to share. I was excited about the Frose drink but I didn't like the flavor. Loved the chips and salsa.You are seated and have to place your order by scanning the QR code on the table.I was excited to see fresh pressed tortilla being prepared. After a quick browse thru Yelp and Instagram, I ordered a shrimp quesadilla and was given the the wrong quesadilla. I tried the taquitos while I waited for my food. I was really hoping for authentic Mexican food. The food was ok but the staff was really attentive.

We've been going to NuvoTaco (formerly Nana Taco) off and on for at least ten years. I'm finally compelled to write a review because I missed so many things from the old place during our last visit. While the new-ish interior is more open and pleasant than the previously cramped, darker quarters, the new digs are clearly being paid for through shrinkflation: the tacos, burritos, and bowls are SO much smaller than they used to be and the prices are higher (is this what is meant by "modern Mexican eatery"?). The seared yellowfin in the Nuvo Tuna Bowl ($16) is tasty but my serving was small -- and, most surprisingly, there were hardly any greens at all. We went home hungry. On top of this, a 20% tip is automatically added to each bill, which surprised me (I didn't see this stated when we ordered -- I hope it is a living wage fee). We all miss the fresh salsa bar from the old place... :( The next time a friend suggests NuvoTaco, I will likely suggest another Durham restaurant.

It is packed with locals on Tuesday night, so it must be good. The portion is good and the flavor is good as well, especially the pulled pork taco and quesadilla.

Ate lunch here recently and enjoyed myself. We were a little confused at first about how to order, but our server explained the online ordering system to us and it became pretty easy after that. I decided to get three tacos because of the variety (a different meat in every taco - nice!). Overall, the tacos were pretty good, but I generally prefer more toppings and the corn tortillas were decent but not amazing. The chips and salsa served to the table were also pretty tasty - I've maybe had better, but who can really complain about free chips and salsa?The vibe was definitely family friendly and I can imagine coming back here at some point.

I can not hype this place enough! Food: carnitas are amazing, I always get the nachos to go and eat twice.Service: quick and friendly staffAmbiance: friendly

Since I moved to the Durham area everyone has told me about NuVo Taco and all I heard was it is soooo good. But when friends would be looking for a place to eat and I suggested it people would say that's good but let's try blah, blah, blah...So I took my damn self! Outside - it's a little tricky to figure out where to park and the street was boppin' but eventually I pulled in on the side of the building. They have lots of parking for pick up - apparently they went completely take out during the height of COVID-19. Inside - to the left is setting for those waiting for food, to the right a long table to with To-Go orders and seating inside and outside, it has an easy breezy vibe, with an industrial look. Someone was at the kiosk ordering and a lovely employee walked up to me immediately and asked if I needed to be seated. I told them I was getting togo but had never been here and wanted to know if they had recommendations. The employee started to rave about several items and then people waiting started to join in giving me recommendations. Ultimately it became apparent - everything is good! I ended up with the following; 3x Tacos 1. Green tomato taco - this one is a seasonal so it basically a few days until it's gone and that is sad! It was crispy, flavorful and had beautiful arugula goodness 2. Fish taco - because a fish taco is my favorite, it was grilled and flaky with a a spicy sauce and mango salsa 3. Chicken taco - because like my friend said - while basic - it's a good chicken taco I also tried the vegetarian chorizo fondito - which at first bite was an ok cheese dip but once I mixed the beans and veggie chorizo the flavor was more and more. Overall NuVo taco is bussin' - I get it and I'll be back!
