Visiting my brother in Durham and he took us to Nuvo Taco. The food and service were excellent. A very casual and fun atmosphere, it was very busy while we were there. Between 3 people we had tacos with chicken, garlic beef, chorizo, grilled shrimp, and pork. We had a side of esquite street corn which was super delicious.

Amazing food! I always come here for the vegan chorizo because I’m vegetarian. And they even added vegan chorizo queso to their menu! Their margaritas are also amazing and the staff is always very friendly and attentive.

This was my first time in Durham, and I chose to eat here. Everything about the experience was amazing, from the food to the wonderful atmosphere. The young man helping me was very kind, easy to communicate my order to, and made the experience even better with his great service and positive attitude. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit and will definitely be coming back.

The tacos were delicious, and quite affordable! The calamari was delicious (albeit not super crispy)

Sorry, but our experience was not good. The service was terrible, it took forever to place our order.
There was a group that arrived after we did and received their food before we even ordered. My friend had to get up and ask for a server to come to our table.
We had two young boys as our servers who seemed to not focus and were messing with each other, like making fun of one another as they took our order.
Our water had small particles floating, we asked for new ones but the water still had particles.
My husband and I ended up ordering an horchata milkshake which was delicious. But we couldn’t order any food, majority of the menu was Americanized Mexican food. Our other two friends did order but didn’t like their meals.
One of them had a thousand island like dressing added to her meal which wasn’t in the description. The taste to the meal was off and another server offered to bring out something else for her. So my friend ordered a quesadilla.
She didn’t eat the food with the dressing, the server removed it and took it back to the kitchen, yet the manager charged her for it because it was a higher cost than the quesadilla. Crazy!
To top it off, we paid, walked to the parking lot and continued a short conversation with friends and one of the young kid’s who was our server yelled out to us “did you pay?!” In front of other customers sitting outside.
Bad customer service all around, we won’t be coming back…. Except for the horchata milkshake and this will be a to go order.
If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food, this ain’t it.
If that’s what you’re looking for though, don’t look for a Mexican staff, look for Mexicans eating there.
If you’re looking for Americanized Mexican food, this could be your spot.
