As a vegan I haven’t had much luck with good Mexican food but El Nuevo Mexicano completely changed my mind. The margs we’re fantastic, salsa was fresh, and the vegan fajitas were amazing! The soy protein was seasoned so well and the veggies were plentiful. Guac, beans, rice; everything was phenomenal. So happy to know such yummy Mexican vegan options exist here! Great stuff

Lovely Mexican restaurant with plentiful vegan options! I got the chicken chimichangas, chips and salsa, and the agave nectar margarita. Loved everything about my meal and highly recommend the chimichangas! Can’t wait to try more of the menu

The service is friendly and fast. They have a quaint patio in the back cutely decorated. The patio is just big enough to safely social distance. The food is tasty: we tried the vegan fajitas and the vegan enchiladas. Both dishes were splendid. The margaritas are a perfect evening cap. All and all, a very recommendable spot!

I eat here way too much! So many vegan Mexican options, which is uncommon. The vegan burritos are my favorite, and the presentation is the best! The quinoa rice is so unique and still has the Mexican flavor to it. Love!

Went for Cinco de Mayo at night. Our party of 2 was seated in 10 minutes. Restaurant maximizes seating, as the tables were a bit close and there are 2 sides. There was a live Mariachi band playing! Enchiladas and pomegranate margaritas were delicious. Although they were packed, speed of service was good. Will come back!

Food and service were on par. Too much Samba music however. Would have liked a little Bachata, Salsa, Cha Cha, and Rumba mixed in. But that’s just my preference. No points deducted for all the Samba.
