Nuevo Laredo Cantina - Atlanta

Best Mexican restaurant in Atlanta.. and probably the best anywhere in the US.

Having lived in Dallas for a decade, this is the best Tex Mex I've come across this side of the Mississippi.

Neuvo Laredo Cantina Always slap!! I come here at least once a month for the past 15 years. Never any issues with service, quality of food , taste, consistency or anything. Only complaint is PARKING cause who trying to play chicken trying to dash across the street to get to the restaurant! Also sometimes ethers is a wait as the restaurant is kinda on the smaller side.

We've been going to NL for a long while. I think the best thing about them is their unique flavor on certain dishes for an overall american-mex menu. Highlights for me are their steak and cheese enchiladas because their enchilada sauce for those two specifically is uniquely yummy. Likewise their pork tacos come with a unique salsa verde and really good. I love that they've opened up their tequila and margarita menu, but their lime juice used in skinny margaritas is astringent, odd testing, and unbearable these days... Updated on 11/24... Still true... Unfortunately they also use regardless of tequila selection now. Really horrendous. Only option on margaritas is their mix which leans sweet.

Love this place and always have. I was disappointed on this trip because of how they forced us out so quickly. Didn't even let us order dessert or after dinner drink. Told us they were sorry but they had a reservation waiting for our table. The day before I called for a reservation and they told me they don't take them. I wasn't surprised as they've never taken reservations before.
