" Had an amazing time with my family at El Novillo! We were celebrating a birthday and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience. Our server was attentive and added to the festive vibe. The food—oh my! The churrasco was out of this world, tender, and bursting with flavor. We ordered a variety of sides, and each was delicious. The only downside was that the place was a bit noisy with the live music going on, but it definitely added to the lively atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Love this place! The staff were incredibly efficient during a busy night and attentive to our needs. The churrasco was amazing, and they served it with plenty of delicious sides. The atmosphere was lively, perfect for our family celebrations. I can’t wait to return and try more from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Despite some reviews, I found my experience at El Novillo to be delightful. The food was good and reminded me of my grandma's cooking. Everything was fresh, although the service could be improved during peak hours. Still, I would recommend El Novillo to anyone looking for authentic Nicaraguan cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stumbled onto El Novillo while looking for a good dinner spot and I’m glad I did! The atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming. The staff were super friendly from the moment I entered. The pork dish I had was perfectly seasoned. The dining experience was enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had the most wonderful dinner at El Novillo! The ambiance felt warm and inviting with the live music playing softly in the background. I ordered the carne asada and it was cooked to perfection, seasoned just right. The portion size was quite generous, and I appreciated that they offer Toña beer, which added an authentic touch. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" tried El Novillo last month, and while the atmosphere was great, I found the food just okay. My steak was a tad overcooked, but my partner’s dish was excellent. I think they have a good foundation, just need to tweak the cooking times a bit. I might give them another shot if I’m in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I appreciated the fancy ambiance and decor, I found El Novillo to be a bit overhyped. The food was decent but lacked the depth of flavor I expected from authentic Nicaraguan cuisine. The service was friendly but not particularly attentive. Overall, I think there are better options in the area unless you just want a nice night out. " (*Curated Review*)
