The food here waa excellent! The staff was friendly. The atmosphere relaxed. I was absolutely impressed with the menu. Although their site says all the traditional eats (which they do have) This wasn't a run of the mill menu with 100 different combos using the same food. They have very different food menu choices available - Including, lengua, Al pastor, octopus, fish, shrimp, oysters , chiveche, shrimp Cocktail that includes mussels, sopes, tortas and menudo. The food prices were reasonable and the portions hefty. The food was exceptional good. Highly recommend this restaurant. We were a an hour away from Home but would definitely make the drive back there to eat here. Shout out to the owners who bring true variations to menu items!

Thief’s is what they are. I Had $100 in my Wallet
My lunch was $39.36 for me and my friend.i accidentally handed them $60 because the bills were stuck and they swear up and down I only gave them $40
Being I had only $40 in my wallet when I should of had $60
I will never go back I know what I handed them

We have had the worst experience ever today at this restaurant we ordered and 30 minutes later still no food my husband went and asked about the order the manager stated our order would be right out and apologized for the delay. The waitress came by and asked if everything was okay I said no we have not received our food she looked at me and said oh and walked away. 10 minutes later still no food so we got up and left. We stopped to see if we needed to pay for the chips and drinks the girl at the counter said no so we left. This is the first time this has happened we have had slow service in the past but the food has been good.

The food is always cold, chips are stale, and the wait time is ridiculously long. Waited over 40 minutes for dinner.

Nice restaurant,great food,sweet service

Pretty decent Mexican restaurant in the middle of not much else. The taco shells were a bit too hard and the meat really didn’t have much to write home about. They were okay tacos - probably can’t expect too much out here.

Step aside Taco Tuesday—El Nuevo Tequila Mexican Restaurant in Kinston, NC, turns every day into a celebration with more flavor than a mariachi band at a jalapeño festival! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted like a long-lost cousin returning from a tortilla pilgrimage. The service? Faster than a speeding queso dip disappearing at a family dinner.

Now let’s talk food—OH MY GUACAMOLE. The fajitas arrived still sizzling, sounding like a soap opera plot twist. The carnitas were so tender I nearly hugged the plate, and the enchiladas? Let’s just say they performed a spicy two-step on my soul. Their salsa has just the right amount of kick—like a Chihuahua wearing cowboy boots. And don’t get me started on their margaritas. One sip and I suddenly believed I could salsa dance my way to Cancun.

The portions are generous—like abuelita on Sunday—and every dish is a masterpiece painted in beans, cheese, and joy. I caught myself tearing up halfway through my chimichanga (from happiness or spice? Yes.).

A heartfelt gracias to the amazing crew at El Nuevo Tequila—you all deliver authentic flavor with a side of genuine warmth. Your restaurant is a gem in Kinston, and it’s clear why locals and out-of-towners alike can’t get enough. D & D Pest Control Co. is proud to say we stop by on a regular basis when servicing customers in the area—because let’s be honest, a full stomach leads

Good looking place and good service. But the food did not live up to the place. Pepe pig on the TV was odd for this type of place. Food seemed like it was rushed and under seasoned.

Kid-friendliness: Pepe pig was on the TV so I would think so.
