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.

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!! -
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. -
Pretty solid tacos except for the garlic beef. The texture was not great of that beef. Shrimp was solid. Fish was solid. Got quesadillas and it was good but nothing special really. Super soggy as well. They did give a nice bit bag of chips which were good as well as their hot sauce.
