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.

Excellent food!!!!! Second time here, and will continue to come here when we are in town. The drinks were just as delicious as the food!! Had the whole Tilapia and enjoyed the food as much as the sideways glances and stares at the whole fish on my plate.....lol. The chips and salsa are also very, very good!!

Food is fresh. Service could use a little improvement. Atmosphere is very noisy, esp young children being children.

Service was definitely something to be desired. Waited at least 10 mins just got refill of drinks. Waitress walked by the table on several occasions without saying a word. Then when she did communicate it was with an attitude like we were an inconvenience. Food took 30 mins to come out and then dishes came out at different times. The kitchen lost one of the tickets so that was another 10mins to get. Food was cold, tea was old, beans were soupy and grey. Will not be back.
