" I was excited to check out Nuevo Poncitlan based on recommendations but found the experience to be just okay. The carne asada was adequate, but it could have used more seasoning. While the portions were decent, I was expecting more for the price. Additionally, while the décor of the restaurant has a nice Mexican flair, the overall vibe felt a bit hectic with the number of people. Next time, I’ll try something different from the menu—perhaps their sopes, which seemed popular. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night, I tried at Nuevo Poncitlan with a group of friends. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, including tacos, sopes, and a huge platter of carne asada. Everything was seasoned perfectly and we couldn't stop talking about how amazing the tacos tasted—definitely some of the best I've had in a long time! The horchata was refreshing and paired well with the meal. The service was timely, and the waitstaff was very attentive to our needs, which added to our positive experience. The overall vibe of the restaurant is casual and friendly, making it a perfect spot for group dinners. I can't wait to come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was a huge letdown. I had read all the great reviews and went in with high hopes, but my experience was quite the opposite. I ordered a mixed platter and the meat was dry and overly seasoned. The service was lacking as our server forgot our drinks altogether. The ambiance was nice but the food didn’t match the expectations. There’s potential, but they need to step up their game on execution. I might give it another shot in the future, but right now, I’d hesitate to recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! I’ve lived in this neighborhood for years and didn’t know about this place until a friend recommended it. We enjoyed a delightful dinner of tacos de lengua and carne al pastor—both were delicious and made with authentic ingredients. The staff was friendly and the service was quick, even on a Friday night. The atmosphere was lively and inviting. The portions are generous; I left feeling totally satisfied. I'm excited to have found my new favorite Mexican spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great time at Nuevo Poncitlan! We ordered a bit of everything, and every dish was flavorful and fresh. The steak tacos blew my mind—they were delicious! The staff was incredibly friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was cozy indeed, a great place to unwind after a long day. I’ve already told my friends about how amazing it was; can't wait to return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nuevo Poncitlan is such a treasure! My family and I enjoyed a feast of all sorts of dishes, from tacos to sopes. Each dish was authentic and bursting with flavor. The highlight, however, was the carne asada, which was tender and grilled to perfection. The ambiance felt very homey, encouraging us to relax and enjoy our meals. The only downside was the wait, as the place gets packed, but it’s worth it for great food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely recommend Nuevo Poncitlan! The food is fresh and bursting with authentic flavors. The portions are generous, leaving you feeling satisfied without breaking the bank. I loved the warm ambiance of the restaurant—it felt like a little piece of Mexico. The staff were friendly and cater well to any dietary preferences. All around, it was a fantastic dining experience!
