" I was not impressed with my last visit to this restaurant. Despite the high ratings, my experience was disappointing. I ordered a fajita platter but found it to be bland and lacking seasoning. The tortillas were homemade but felt a bit too thick. I expected more given the reviews, and felt my meal was not worth the price I paid. On a positive note, the service was friendly, and I appreciate that, but when I come out for a meal, I expect the food to be the highlight, which sadly this was not. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've had the pleasure of dining at Restaurante Nuevo Amanecer several times and each visit leaves me more impressed. Their enchiladas are fantastic and come with a variety of sauces to choose from. The homemade tortillas add a special touch that you don’t find at every place. While the service can be a bit slow during peak hours, the staff is always friendly and accommodating. I would suggest going during off-peak times if you can. The atmosphere is relaxed, making it a great spot for family or casual meals. All in all, it's a favorite for me, and I can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very mixed experience at Restaurant Nuevo Amanecer. The first thing I noticed was how busy it was, which is usually a good sign. I was excited to try the birria tacos that everyone raves about, and they did not disappoint! They were packed with flavor, and the accompanying broth was comforting. However, service was lacking that night, as it took a while to get our drink orders taken, and even longer for our food to arrive. I wish the staff had been more attentive. I think I will give it another shot since the food is genuinely good, but I hope for an improvement in service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Always a reliable choice for dinner. The burritos are generous in size, and you can customize your order. Very friendly staff who know how to take care of their patrons. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, which I appreciate. I usually order a variety of items, but the tacos are my favorite. You can’t beat the authenticity here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Utterly disappointing experience. The food was bland, the service was mediocre at best, and the ambiance was lacking. My carne asada tacos were dry and lacking flavor. I’ve had much better elsewhere, and this was a real letdown. I do not recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" A true gem in the city for anyone craving authentic Mexican food. I tried the pozole and was blown away by the flavor. The garnishing with radish and lime was spot on, enhancing the experience further. The ambiance was relaxed, making it perfect for both family meals and casual dining. Service was prompt despite how busy they were. The prices were very reasonable considering the quality of food offered. I highly recommend trying their fresh seafood options as well; you won’t regret it. Two thumbs up from me! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited the restaurant last week to try their famous birria, and let me tell you, it lived up to the hype! The flavor was rich, and the tortillas paired beautifully with the broth. I also enjoyed the relaxed vibe of the establishment, making my dining experience very pleasant. However, even with so many staff around, it took some time to grab their attention for ordering extra drinks, which was slightly frustrating. Overall, highly recommend—just be ready for a bit of wait during peak hours! " (*Curated Review*)
