" My friends and I decided to unwind at Nueva Cantina after some shopping; we were blown away! It’s so colorful and lively! Everything we ordered tasted fresh, although I wouldn’t classify it as traditional Mexican fare. Our server was fantastic and made sure we were well taken care of. Will definitely return for another round of margaritas and good vibes! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has quickly become one of my favorite spots to enjoy a good meal with friends! It never fails to deliver delicious food and a fun atmosphere. The tacos are definitely a highlight, and the margaritas? Wow! You'll want more than one. We’ve never had any major service issues either which is a plus. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I would give this place a solid 5 stars! Everything was wonderful; the atmosphere was casual and relaxed, which I loved. The vivacious decor adds to the experience. All of our dishes tasted amazing; the birria tacos were especially delightful. Can't wait to go back and try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nueva Cantina offers a fun environment to enjoy with friends. We ordered several dishes and were mostly pleased. The fish tacos were delightful, and the drink menu was impressive as well. Nevertheless, I did find that some of the flavors lacked depth; it felt like some items were Americanized. Overall, I would return if just for the festive atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a nice time but the food just didn’t hit the mark for me. It felt like a mainstream Mexican restaurant and not what I was yearning for in terms of flavors. The vibes are great; it’s a place for socializing more than indulging in an authentic culinary experience. The staff was friendly and helpful, which was a bonus. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find! I loved everything about Nueva Cantina from the decor to the service. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were beautiful and full of flavor! The mixed drinks were also refreshing but phew, they could be stronger! The only downside was the portion size didn’t feel as generous as I would’ve liked. Overall, I highly recommend giving this place a try. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited during lunchtime and had the chicken burrito, which was pretty good but felt a bit smaller in comparison to other places I've tried. The staff were friendly and attentive, which I appreciated, but I expected a stronger flavor profile. Overall, it’s a decent spot but with some room for improvement in the food department. " (*Curated Review*)
