My friend and I got to give El Nuevo Mexicano a shot and I will say we both highly enjoyed the experience. I will say the carne asada taco dinner was legit and the vegan option was also very good! The service was great as well as the waiter checked in often to make sure we were enjoying our experience. Definitely will have to come back and try more menu items!

This restaurant offers a great dining experience with ample seating and a nice outside section in the back. They have several vegan options; I tried the vegan enchiladas, which were were some of the best I’ve had. My friends enjoyed the al pastor tacos. The free tortilla chips with salsa were fresh and tasty. We ordered palomas and margaritas, and the drinks were well balanced. The service was friendly from start to finish. It's a solid choice if you're looking for good Tex-Mex restaurant

Came here since Tuk Tuk Thai down the street was packed. What a great decision. Originally wanted the enchiladas mole poblano but our waiter advocated for the carnitas chipotle. Not really knowing what to expect, my expectations were more than met. The pork was so tender and juicy. Didn’t really taste the plantain but the mango and plantain pico provided just enough sweetness to complement the chipotle sauce which had the perfect level of spice. Finally, the flour tortillas weren’t anything special but a great vessel to consume the dish and soak up the sauce. Decided to get something different and it paid off as this is the best Mexican food I have had in the city.

Went around 3 today (Friday) and it was a fantastic experience for my family. The service was way above what is expected and he worked with my family on something gluten free. Will recommend and will return, 10/10. Chicken cream chipotle was amazing.

The al pastor with pineapple tacos were fantastic. Very juicy and flavorful. If I lived in Chicago I would definitely come back here.

The food at El Neuvo was generally decent. We were not the biggest fan of the ceviche as it tasted too sweet and did not carry much lime flavor. We liked the Enrollados de Carnitas better, which had a satisfyingly rich pork flavor. The highlight was the Camarones en Chile Ancho Con Piñones, with shrimps simmered in a rich, zesty sauce that was super flavorful and balanced. The dining vibe here is very cozy, especially in the spacious back room with the decorative lights. The service is also efficient and friendly.

My favorite restaurant in Chicago! Have been coming to ENM for, literally, decades! Amazing food and drinks in a safe and comfortable environment with really friendly service. You need to try ENM!

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!
