| - went to nuevo acapulco with a party of five on a friday night a little after 8pm. the restaurant was a lot bigger than i expected, and it was packed; we had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. once seated, i couldn't stop eating the chips and salsa. the chips were nice and crispy - definitely homemade, and the salsa was fresh, and not too spicy. yum. and unlike some other mexican restaurants around town, they don't charge you for refills.
nuevo has a pretty big menu, but i was surprised to find they didn't serve enchiladas mole - a pretty standard mexican dish. i did like that they offered one, two and three enchilada meals - for me, one is never enough, and three is too much. after everyone else's food arrived, i had food envy. my cheese and onion enchilada plate looked drab in comparison to the sizzling fajitas and chimichangas that came to our table. my enchiladas were just okay; i wouldn't order them again.
we also ordered a pitcher of the house margarita. it definitely packs a punch. service was pretty good too - our waiter was attentive, and provided us with water pitchers. overall, decent mexican food - i'd give it 3.5 stars if i could.
