Right next to the original Q Shack, NuvoTaco serves up modern takes on classic tacos and burritos, with great margaritas to help wash it all down. Their menu is expansive, so it will suit even the pickiest of eaters.

Super cute spot. I'm a regular here. Love their chips, queso, and salsa (especially since they keep it flowing through the whole meal). Great mixed drinks and the food isn't too greasy or heavy! Love this place.

I placed a last minute big order for our teams Christmas lunch and they were extra accommodating and helped us out. They got the food together fast and very organized, even had tags for all of the food. Everything was delicious. Will definitely be back and highly recommend! Thank you all so much!!

Quick service and good prices. The garlic beef chicken, and chorizo tacos were completely average. Many other better tacos in Durham. Table salsa was also average.

This was my first time visiting NuvoTaco. I’ve always rode past, but never stopped for chow. I enjoyed the quick service & friendly staff. They ensured we had everything we needed. I ordered the $12 lunch special and it was filling.

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.

I don't know what the previous negative reviews were talking about. The food was delicious! We had the shrimp, calamari, and chicken tacos with a queso starter, and they were better than expected. The tacos were flavorful, and the fried calamari and shrimp were crispy and not oily. We'd definitely come by again next time we're in Durham.
