" I visited Nelson's for a casual dinner, and my experience was delightful! The carne asada tacos were bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, perfect for a dinner with friends or family. I especially loved the chips and salsa as a starter. It's definitely a place I'll be returning to! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had my family visiting and decided to take them to Nelson’s, and it didn’t disappoint! The menu was expansive, catering to everyone's tastes. I particularly enjoyed the chiles rellenos—they were flavorful and well presented. The kids loved their quesadillas, and we all shared a pitcher of margaritas that made the day even better! Our server was charming and attentive. Definitely a family-friendly spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, my experience at Nelson's was pleasant. The menu had plenty of options, and the food was enjoyable. However, I felt like my dish was a bit on the bland side. The service was good, with staff checking in regularly. The atmosphere was lively, which made up for the lack of spice in my meal. I would consider coming back to try something else! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Nelson's is delicious! I ordered the enchiladas, which were cheesy and flavorful. The service was quick, but I felt that the server could have been more attentive. The restaurant had a cheerful atmosphere and the decor was quite charming. I think next time, I will try a different dish, as many people around me were raving about the birria tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch with colleagues at Nelson's and had a good experience. I tried the shrimp tacos, which had a zesty flavor and were quite satisfying.

I would recommend it for a casual work lunch gathering! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been here multiple times, and it's always been a pleasure. I love the variety in the menu, especially the vegan options! My favorite dish is the vegan torta—it’s packed with flavor! Although the service can sometimes be slower during busy hours, the friendly staff makes up for it. The relaxed vibe is perfect for enjoying quality time with friends or family. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic find! The carne asada nachos were simply out of this world. My friend and I shared a couple of different dishes, and each was bursting with flavor. Our server was top-notch, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The lively atmosphere and colorful decor made for a truly enjoyable evening. This will be my new regular spot for Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)
