Yummy food, friendly service, fun atmosphere. The drinks were a little pricey but tasted great. We got mango margaritas, tacos, queso and street corn. I like the portion size and food quality. The beef taco meat wasn’t what I expected consistency wise but still tasted good. I would recommend fried shrimp instead of grilled for the taco but again still tastes great. The restaurant was busy. There’s indoor and outdoor seating. You can order from your table with an app or from a server. There’s a nice self serve area full of a big variety of hot sauces. This place is perfect for a date night or family. Kid friendly although indoors the noise level is moderate. There are a few TVs with sports playing. Would recommend this place and will be back.

We tried the grilled fish burrito bowl, the burrito bowl portion was good, though the grilled fish didn't taste very fresh, was very chewy (tasted more like meat than fish). But the service was wonderful, very quick. They have a huge variety of hot sauces that one could try from. Also, their chips and salsa was good.

I love the atmosphere of NuvoTaco. But the food was pretty much on par with a lot of other places. It seemed like the chicken in my burrito was sitting in a pan in lots of water/juice that washed off most of the seasoning it may have had during the cooking process. So the food didn't have much flavor. It was a good quantity, and well packed, but lacking some flavor. Service was fine, but it would be a stretch to say that it was anything above average. The atmosphere is fun, trendy with it's little lounge, and the decor. I wouldn't say to someone, you HAVE to go to NuvoTaco, but more along the lines of... "Hey, it's nearby, we can just meet up there." sort of thing.
