PERMANENTLY CLOSED- It started good but then... I sat at the bar top next to the prep line and I could tell the "chef" was drunk. Not cool.

Great variety of margaritas and yummy desserts. Chicken was a little salty but the mole sauce was spot on. You can also catch a beautiful sunset if you go at the right time.

Excellent food!!!! Great staff!!! Very nice ambiance!!! Highly recommend. I've been to every Mexican restaurant in the area and Cantina Nueva is by far the best.

Great new favorite! Awesome happy hour and unique and delicious taco menu! Free chips and salsa, a rarity in NM! Highly recommend, and waiter, Joe, is the best!

Awesome food and fast and friendly service. We've had Joe both times we've been here and he's great! Super friendly and exceptional service. All the staff we have interacted with has been extremely friendly and we have loved everything we've tried from the menu. We live just around the corner and this will definitely be one of our regular spots.

OMG! I highly recommend that you order the green chile bacon mac and cheese! And believe me, a side of it is not enough! Just make sure to clarify that you want the appetizer portion, not the side. There seems to be a lot of confusion over the two options. I also highly recommend the avocado coconut ice cream - It's only $4, which is cheap and served in a halved coconut! Their tacos are a little pricey considering they are served a la carte, but they are otherwise delicious too.

Oh Lordy....I eat here way too much. Love the food and team. Go during Happy Hour for those potent, inexpensive (cheap!) margaritas. I've eaten most food from the menu, but only drink 1 House Margarita (deliciously potent ☠ï¸ðŸ˜. Enjoy!

Delicious flair of tacos! The Mahi Mahi and Short Rib tacos are highly recommended. Service is great and you can’t go wrong with the food! A++

Good food and great service! Very nice selection of Tequilas and beers. The kombuchas are perfect on a hot day. The menu has a great variety of dishes, bound to have something for every palate. Andrea, our server, was professional, sweet and very efficient. Definitely going back!
Just ok,heard really good things and was excited to go. Went on a Wednesday night, not busy at all and waited 5 minutes just to get a table. Service was very slow,only had my iced tea refilled once and food was sitting on the counter waiting to be brought out. Had to call her over to tell her that our plates were ready. Dinner was decent, nothing out of this world, avocado ice cream was really good though. If the service was better we might consider going back but overall experience was not impressive.

I really enjoyed the Shrimp Cervice at the bar. The bartender was really nice. The atmosphere felt a little cramped but besides that, Nueva Cantina is another New Mexican treasure.

First time here on a recommendation from a friend, it was great! Great menu selection, lots of local beers, vegetarian options. Service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Will definitely be back!

Went at a time we thought was gonna be less busy since it was after the lunch rush. They weren't staffed and waited a bit before being helped but they took care of us for waiting which was a nice surprise. The food was good and came out quick.

Great Margaritas and Mahi Mahi Street Tacos. Only critique is the rice is a bit strong on the cumin seasoning. Will definitely come back again!
