" I had high hopes for Nelson's after hearing good things, but I was a bit disappointed. The food wasn't as spicy as I expected, and my burrito felt a bit bland. On the plus side, the service was impeccable, with our waiter being super attentive. The ambiance was cozy, making it an enjoyable place to hang out even if the food didn't entirely hit the mark for me. I might give it another chance sometime, hoping for a better dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful meal at Nelson's last week. We tried the enchiladas and they were delicious! The flavors reminded me of my travels through Mexico. Our server was very helpful and suggested some great drinks. The vibe of the restaurant is relaxed and warm, making it a perfect choice for either a casual lunch or a dinner date. The prices are reasonable for the portion size, and I will be back for sure. " (*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*)
