| - This is one of those places where you "pay for the view", except both times I've been, the upper floor (the one with the views) is reserved for a private party. When you sit at the bar, you'll be looking in the one direction that there is not a Great Lake.
I'n not exaggerating when I say that I could have paid $30 and made far better Mexican food at home (Bill was about $100 all told, for my girlfriend and I). Nothing was inedible, but it was all very bland. To take just one example, the beans and rice tasted exactly like someone had cooked white rice, dumped in a can of black beans, and warmed it up. Literally every single tex-mex place I've been to has been leaps and bounds ahead of Nuevo, let alone legit mexican spots.
Here's my recommendation: Don't go to this restaurant. Instead, go somewhere like La Plaza (Lakewood) or El Caribe (2906 Fulton), get some truly delicious food to go for a fraction of the price, then come back to the E.9th pier, sit in the park, and enjoy the view while you eat. You won't regret it.
