Cadillac Crab Cakes and brisket quesadillas are amazing! Great enchiladas too. I'm originally from central California, so I've had REAL Mexican cuisine . Nuevo Laredo is the real deal!
The three classics they offer— house, Texas, and Cadillac— are strong and yummy! Food here is great as well , make sure you sit down for dinner instead of just drinking at the bar . [Eater 38 Member]
Delicious but very very very over priced. Lunch menu was reasonable but I'm not paying $14 for two tacos . That being said the quality was very good and staff was very friendly and kind.
One of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever visited. Great, authentic food, friendly staff , and a quaint setting. A MUST on any list!!
The crab cakes ! 👌🏽 🌟 The steak diablo ! 🔥🔥🔥 and yes yes the queso , the chips and salsa . Incredible!!

Great margarita and atmosphere and I loved the salmon tacos , they were funky and different!
Best Chimichanga I’ve ever had. Not too crispy , just perfect. A little pricier for Mexican but still authentic and great.
Salsa is awesome, fish tacos were great, taco salad best around! Hard to get in. Try 4:30-5 or no dice, lonnnggg wait.
First of all I am outrage by the discrimination in this restaurant . I came in with a group of friends and its summer time so I am wearing a hollister tank top and the restaurant kicked me out WTF
Came highly recommended from an Atlanta local. I went I saw I conquered. Awesome food!
Best Mexican in Atlanta and one of my favorites in the US! Service is terrific, food is awesome but it is always packed so give yourself a lot of time beforehand due to your wait before being sat
Officially my favorite Mexican restaurant in ATL. My dad used to take me here as a kid and it's still around and even better than ever!
Don't miss the Diablo steak . Such a perfect balance, excellent meat, just as it should be.
Wow! Thanks, Foursquare! Free chips & salsa that were ALREADY FREE! Lol. Our food was good, but our server liked seeing me make "my mouth is on fire!" faces & refused to refill my water :-(
Crab enchiladas (open-faced) were incredible! Best salsa I've ever had!
Salmon tacos are amazing!!!! Brisket is delicious... love this place. Authentic Mexican food

The shrimp tacos are delicious.
The Lobster Tacos are the jam . So good! So filling! So the dish you should get...every time!
Great atmosphere, excellent food and a special entry do handicapped, wheelchair customers.
I get the Chicken Mole every time and it's phenomenal!
Don't miss the Specials on the chalk board near the bar . Delicious!
Sit on the main level. Established crowd & atmosphere. Not my fave but everyone seems to love this place. Just be prepared to wait on a weekend night, and don't come if you're claustrophobic.
It's all about the cebollitas. Grilled scallions with salt and lime . So simple. So incredible.
If you stand up only to realize you have cheese dip AND guac on your pantelones, it's time to go home.
Read the reviews and decided to get the lobster taco and soooo glad I did....awesome!!!
Great food. Crowded at night and weekends.
You wouldn't expect it, but the crab cakes are some if the best in the city .
By far and large the best Mexican / Tex Mex in the city of Atlanta. I'm all up in the chicken with mole sauce .
I've never had any other reason not to order the Holy Tacos here. Amazing!!!
Lobster Tacos/Quesadillas are amazing. Guacamole and Queso are best i've had. And please have a Margarita
Good service and strong drinks

Chicken mole is amazeballs!

I get the enchiladas con pollo de mole every time. Sooo good! No other mole even compares
The special is not really a special everyone get free chips and salsa margaritas are pre-made not a fan of that.
