    We were seated right away and the atmosphere was perfectly decorated for the holidays. The service was fast and efficient, but we never felt rushed. Food was absolutely delicious and there was so much of it we had enough to take home.

    Food was very good. Service was great. Music a little loud when trying to have a conversation. Be prepared to pay for drinks. We thought the holiday drinks were over priced. Other than that it was a good experience.

    Our server was so sweet and the best. She had so many tables of large parties and was crushing it. All of the food was delicious other than the mexican street corn. I wish she had more help and the kitchen had more help. It was a Wednesday night and took almost an hour for our food after we ordered those. Our drinks took at least 30 min. Shoutout to our server though she handled it all with grace and was so kind. I wish i remembered her name. All entries were delicious.

    Nueva Cantina really went all-out with the holiday decor and we loved it! The Grinch Margarita and Nueva Reindeer were the two holiday cocktails we enjoyed, and the Birria Tacos were fantastic. We really liked the portion size for the Street Corn appetizer we shared, and would definitely reorder. Can’t wait to return post-holiday!
