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. -
To say I’m disappointed in my restaurant experience here is an understatement!! First of all, wait staff here seems young disorganized, inexperienced and inattentive. We had to physically go find someone to take our order after sitting. Then we received our food after a group that came after us. Look! don’t go by the menu because they’re just gonna put whatever they want on your food. I ordered a taco bowl that they decided to drizzle thousand island dressing and sour cream on it. Mind you that was not in the food description on the menu. Received no pico de gallo on it that was in the description. Food here is generic and bland.
So I decided to exchange that for a chicken quesadilla easy enough right?! Wrong! that was lackluster as well! They made me pay for my original meal that I did not eat because they said it was more expensive than what I re-ordered.
To top it off as our group was leaving and talking in the parking lot, our servers walked past and yelled. Did they pay while laughing and pointing! So unprofessional and tacky! If you want lousy customer service and mediocre americanized Mexican food come here!!
As for me, I will never be back!! -
Actually it is a little bit difficult to review. I had their salad once and i love it so went the this time with high expectation. I ordered food which I can’t remember the names, a soup too. They we’re delicious, but too heavy for me a little bit. The servers were great, nice just my soup was served without a spoon. When i asked for one, the nice waiter brought one for me and even kindly clean the spoon with his bare hand🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. But i am pretty sure he did that with good intention. Busy restaurant, which means they have good food and a lot of customers.
