I came in for lunch thinking I would order tacos, but opted for the cheesesteak flatbread which was both unconventional and delicious. The flatbread tasted very fresh and was perfectly grilled. The vinaigrette added a nice touch of acidity and the “cheese pull” was insane! My husband ordered one of the alambre dishes and was very happy with it. We also ordered chips and guacamole which we quickly devoured. Our server told us that they had just made the guacamole, and it was truly excellent. We wish we lived a little closer to this spot, but it’s totally worth the drive for our future visits!

This place has absolutely vibrant and tasteful food. The service is excellent and prompt. Prices are good. The one and only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars and to be honest it’s silly, but there really isn’t a great place to park. Other than that, it’s all great. I parked across the street at the apartment complex. There are no prohibitive signs, so it worked, but who knows if you are actually allowed to. Once you find a spot, this place is definitely worth it.

Checked out this local to us place the other night and were overall happy with it. Nothing fancy but the service was attentive. A good variety on the menu but we went with a combo for 2 ( basically what’s called a molcajete in other places) and shoud be here being as that’s what they served it in. But anyway as typical of protein served in a volcanic piping hot stone vessel they just overcook. That already being a given the food is plentiful, flavourful and welcome. They serve enough on the side with rice, beans, tortillas and guacamole that it was enough for the 2 of us. We brought a bottle of wine as it’s a BYOB place but here is a tip for anyone checking it out. Bring a bottle of rum or better yet tequila as they serve peach and strawberry banana frozen drinks on-site which would mix perfect with a good spirit like those. We will be back for sure.

Stopped in for lunch today and everything was delicious and fresh! We got the sampler for 2, it came with so much food for the price point of only 32 dollars! Honestly could probably easily feed three people. Love Nenes and will be back!! Also shoutout to our waitress she was super friendly 🙂

Cute spot with authentic and tasty food.. We tried the Cheese Birra, a flavorful brisket toasted taco with a beef consommé side. Yum!

I lived in El Paso, TX for four years, and this is, by far, the best Mexican food I’ve had outside of there. Perfect proportion of meat and veggies, and the tacos reminded me of El Paso. Very colorful atmosphere and friendly waitress. Highly recommend.

I’m giving 3 stars only because I’ve been ordering takeout from them since they opened. I love supporting local businesses. Unfortunately the reason I’m not giving them 5 stars is because the food has been incredibly inconsistent. Just something to be aware of before ordering and hopefully they could work on it.
