We grabbed lunch here while in town to celebrate our daughter's graduation. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal, which isn't always easy with our bunch. The young man taking orders was informative and helpful. The greens were just the right amount of spice. Crabcakes were crab and not filler. Hushpuppies with honey - yum! Added bonus - use of cornmeal allowed our gluten free eater to enjoy! We will definitely eat here again when in Durham.

This is hands down my favorite restaurant. My husband and our two small children have been eating here at least once a week for the past two years. The food is absolutely delicious, fresh salsa, queso, and guacamole; phenomenal tacos with a variety of tasty meats; and the nuvo bowl is tremendous if you want a salad. The margaritas are top notch, strong and fresh ingredients (doesn't taste like super sugary bottled mix). In my weekly visits, I have never had a subpar meal. But what keeps us coming back is the staff. They are genuinely the kindest people. They are always happy to see us and see our children. They bring out our chips, queso, guac, and margaritas before we order. Our children know everyone's names. My three year old specifically goes to see who she refers to as "hola Maya" who could not be kinder to my children. They go above and beyond to ensure every visit is outstanding and that is why my small children request Nuvo Taco for dinner every single weekend! Additionally, I have a gluten allergy and appreciate the labeled allergy friendly menu and have never had an issue. We have also used the catering a number of times and I couldn't recommend that more. Always on time, fresh, and excellent portions. They make sure you have all the serving utensils, napkins, etc you need. While I wholeheartedly recommend Nuvo Taco I almost hesitate to write this stellar review because I don't want to share the secret and potentially have to wait when I make my weekly visit!
