" This place has an incredible atmosphere with an elegant twist. I brought my partner for a date night, and we were blown away by the quality of the food. The steak had the perfect char and was incredibly juicy. Service was attentive and made us feel special. I would recommend the chocolate flan for dessert—it was heavenly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Awesome food, awesome atmosphere! El Novillo made my weekend much better. Enjoyed the cocktails too—very refreshing. Toña beer is a must from their menu! Staff was dynamic and engaging. I will definitely be recommending this gem to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about El Novillo's authentic Nicaraguan food, I visited hoping for a great meal. The dishes were good, but some lacked the punch of flavor I was anticipating. I tried the pargo and it was fresh! However, there were some inconsistencies in service which made the dinner a bit frustrating at times, especially when we tried to get someone's attention for drinks. In all, a decent meal but not as great as I hoped it would be! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely loved my time at El Novillo! The rich flavors of Nicaraguan cuisine enveloped me. The music created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I recommend the carne asada paired with their house made salsas for an authentic experience. The staff treated us well and really contributed to our wonderful evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my second time dining at El Novillo and it was just as good as my first! I ordered the big daddy churrasco—amazing! Just the right amount of seasoning and cooked perfect. The ambiance is lovely for a family gathering or a cozy night out. There was live salsa music playing which added a nice touch. The staff were friendly but could have checked on us more often. I'd recommend it without hesitation! " (*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*)
