“ Atlanta might be known for Southern cuisine but Nuevo Laredo challenges this idea with its incredible Mexican cuisine. This is not your Run of the Mill “hot plate”Mexican restaurant. Widely recognized as one of the best Mexican restaurants in Atlanta, they serve the most authentic Mexican food you can get in the Southeast. The dishes are fresh and flavorful, and the salsa is to die for. Rumor has it, people are wanting to be buried with that salsa. The atmosphere is vibrant, the seating is cozy, and the service is stellar. The standout though, is the food. Anything with the Mole sauce. However, the chicken enchiladas with the green sauce is extraordinary. There is a good reason why there is a wait at dinner time and lunch. Plan accordingly, wait your turn and you will be transported to authentic Mexican food Nirvana. 11 stars Highly recommended ”

“ This place has been here forever and for good reason. The food is authentic and the prices very reasonable. It's my go-to Mexican ”

“ Food is good, note that there is often a long wait at peak dining hours. If you aren’t trying for the atmosphere of a nice lunch, you could order to-go and eat it later on, which saves you a lot of time. Portion sizes were huge and they gave free salsa and chips too. A large section of vegetarian options, we enjoyed the mole enchiladas ”

“ Came for dinner on a weeknight to see what it was about. We were not disappointed. The food was all great and there was quite a few folks but we were still seated very quickly. The house margarita was good and only 6. Only recommendation is if you aren’t ready to eat a lot of food then order of the al a carte menu because the portions are very generous. We will definitely be coming back for our next Mexican dinner night. ”

“ We have somehow never tried this Atlanta staple that has been around since the 90’s, until recently! I had heard of Nuevo Laredo before but just had not ventured to try it. We decided to go recently on the weekend and we were super happy with our choice! We got there early, like 5:00 pm, because I read reviews saying there were no reservations and the wait list can get pretty long around supper time. We were seated right away when we went! It’s a super quaint, cute, very 90’s-esque Mexican restaurant with a cozy feel. The staff was 10/10 and very attentive! I highly recommend the Nuevo Laredo marg, it was phenomenal. I got the mixed fajitas and they were also so delicious! I usually don’t like the grilled chicken I get with fajitas, but this chicken was so good! The salsa is A1 too, as was the guac. We literally loved it!! I highly recommend, especially if you love Mexican food. We will definitely return! ”

“ Old fashioned just how I like it. Love the Cadillac drink. Damn delicious! ”

“ I've been riding pass this restaurant for years and I decided to go inside and grab something to eat to go. Once inside, we instantly changed our minds and decided to get a table. Great server, the best margarita I've ever had, and the food was delicious, OMG! This is our new favorite restaurant. ”

“ I was so impressed by this restaurant, being my first time there. It is definitely the local spot but also, people come from afar just to enjoy Nuevo Laredo. I understand why because it is a quaint Mexican restaurant with authentic food ans dishes that are delicious. Not to mention, the margaritas have actually quality tequila in them which always beats any house margaritas at your average Mexican restaurant--not to mention the fact that the drink is HUGE. You definitely get your money's worth. The bartender was super interactive and quick to fix any issues that occur which makes customer service, chef's kiss. Our server was phenomenal, especially for a party of 6. He even created my own drink when I was stuck between two choices! The food comes out fast once you have been seated and placed your order. And most importantly, it is good. I will be back !!! ”
