We were greeted on arrival in spite of the restaurant being incredibly busy. The dining area was beautifully appointed with bright colorful and COMFORTABLE seating. So nice to easily get in and out of a booth! Absolutely amazing food! I had a Carnitas and shrimp fajita- absolutely delicious. Shrimp was perfect- not over cooked but incredibly sweet & tender. My DH had a combo plate. Neither of us were able to finish so we will enjoy the leftovers today! The flan was an added delight! All I can say is we waited far too long to find our new favorite Mexican restaurant in Anderson! They have so many more options to try on the menu so we are going back! read more

See all

Not good service or food. Street tacos so dry I choked. Flavorless beans and rice. The waiter knew we had a very young child and came to take our order then didn't. Walked away muttering. They were not busy maybe 4 tables. read more

Definitely my favorite place to eat in town. Great food great prices. Love the staff. This restaurant is always clean and nice.

Impossible to find a friendlier wait staff. The best specials in town. Don't sleep on their all you can eat soup and tacos on Mondays.

One of the very best Mexican restaurants at which I have ever eaten. Food was amazing, atmosphere was good and service was great!

Cold bagged chips. Enough said. Sub standard fare for sure. Nothing great here! Service was great

I love coming here. The Mexican pizza is . Chicken tortilla soup tastes homemade. Not like all the chain Mexican restaurants you are used to. read more

This was my first time ordering fajitas here and..best flour tortillas around. The fajitas were wonderful as well but then, I almost always love fajitas. read more

Pretty tasty food. The soup and unlimited tacos on Monday is definitely worth it! Other than that, it's not the best Mexican. It's good but not the best. I will return, due to its close proximity, but there are better places even in Anderson. read more

This new Mexican restaurant is next to the Anderson University campus. It's just off of Scatterfield Road. It's definitely worth a visit. The place is clean and airy, and can accommodate a large group. I tried the enchiladas that were covered in a brown enchilada sauce. I'm used to red sauce, but this brown sauce had a nice spice to it and was very tasty. My daughter had the chicken and chorizo tacos which is one of her favorites (she's a student at Anderson). My wife had enchiladas with grilled chicken and a cheese sauce that she enjoyed. The service is very friendly and fast although it was not a busy time of the day. I think we would like to return here whenever we are in town, which is often. read more

I just got the best most fresh delicious Mexican dinner I've ever gotten in Anderson Indiana ever! This restaurant is excellent!

First time visit after church with kids - place was packed - food was excellent - service was excellent - minus one star for older lady at front door seating tables - was very annoyed we wanted an open booth instead of a table - we will return because the food was that good. Update: older lady was sweet as a bell - food was excellent - enjoyed lunch and watched The Colts game! read more

This is our go-to Mexican place! It's always so good, quick, and fresh! The fajitas are always tasty, and the arroz con pollo burrito dinner is super amazing! read more

My rating includes their customer service, which seriously impacted by this decision. First of all, they cook really great food. I absolutely love their menu. Secondly, their salsa tastes like crap. I'd find plenty other Mexican restaurants that would serve better salsa than theirs. But their food is really good for me to overlook this minor part. Thirdly, their phone service is really lousy. They really need to improve their phone connection somehow. They also were rude occasionally, but I'm not quite sure why it happen. It could be because English may not be their primary language or that their phone service is really choppy that it got disconnected several times. It can be frustrating to me. Their customer service is quite the opposite when interacting with them in person. It was great and positive experience. read more

I am a Native Houstonian. When I am in Anderson Indiana, I eat at La Nueva Charreada. I had a good impression on my first visit. I asked for Verde Sauce, and they know what I was talking about. I nearly always get something different from the menu each time I visit. They don't take short cuts when they prepare the food, and it always comes out so good. I can only hope they are able to have the dinning room open on my next visit. read more

I have gone here dozens of times over the past 3 or 4 years. I love the guacamole, it is not too far in any flavor direction. The beans are vegetarian which is a great thing to put on their menu as most places do not use vegetarian beans. I believe the rice does have chicken broth but the vegetarian options are plentiful. I do go to other mexican restaurants from time to time but La Nueva Charreada is my go to and the restaurant to which I compare all others. Also during these coronavirus times I have to say the wait for my order was very fast. read more

Good food, good service. We've never had a bad experience and it's our go-to for Mexican food in Anderson.

If you know Anderson, IN you know there are, at least, 100 Mexican restaurants in town. This is definitely at the TOP of my list. The service is fantastic! Friendly, engaging, and attentive. Food is great! Salsa is fresh! Ask for the salsa verde. Made fresh, on the spot. Amazing! I'll be there on Tuesday, so look me up. read more

The waiters are friendly and attentive. It's close to the nearby university, so there is a good-sized lunch crowd, but not overcrowded. I ordered the Fajita Jalisco. I've ordered it a couple of times here. The fajitas come sizzling to the table. The meat is seasoned right. Not too spicy, not bland. It's definitely worth a lunch time visit. read more

From someone who is a very picky eater and who loves Mexican food, this is the go to place in Anderson. The staff is awesome and the food is great. The restaurant is clean and the atmosphere very inviting. Stop in today and see if you don't agree. read more

La Nueva Charreada - My lunch of chips, dip and burrito...yum! - Mexican Near Me - Anderson, Indiana

For Anderson University in close proximity, I hope they take note. While this wasn't the cleanest table I have dined upon, my fajita came out sizzling and properly tasty. For a college town, I find this a good place, but with my experience, I find it mediocre. The service was great, bit cleanliness needs to be more up to par. read more

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Our entrees, fajitas chihuahua and nachos al carbon, were off the charts. Fresh guacamole. The only reason I didn't give them five stars is the chips. Either they don't make them fresh, or ours were old. Make your own and we'll definitely be regulars here. We probably will be anyway, the food is awesome! read more

They really need more help or better help. Took us 15 minutes for someone to come over to us to even get our drink order. The food was good, but the portions aren't that big. It doesn't take a lot for me to get full, but I left still hungry. It felt more like a portion for a small child. read more

This was the worst Mexican food I have ever had ! The salsa tasted very blan and looked like tomato juice with cinnamon in it yuck! The chips were so greasy they left and after taste like old grease.I had the fajita taco salad and it had a ton of melted watery cheese sauce in the bottom ,the three people with me also had poor quality food needless to say we did not eat anything we ordered . read more

Not a fan. I went there for lunch. Service was poor and food orders were wrong and charged out incorrectly. It took forever for the charge to be fixed. Probably won't return. read more

My favorite in the Anderson area, this restaurant has an exceptional staff, delicious food, and it is clean. I highly recommend it. Because they have different cooks, the food is not always the most consistent, but it is always good. They are very good to replace/correct anything if you have an issue, and their cheese dip is the best. Mild salsa, usually, and the mildest (yummiest) cheese dip I've tried. Over 12 years & 3 different locations, we have become friends with many of the servers, and we know each other by name. It's super fast for a lunch hour during the work day, I always get there & back to my downtown office and still have time to relax and enjoy a delicious lunch. Busiest on Sundays after church and Friday nights, and during special events (Colts Camp, evening events at Anderson University) but still great quality. Their sodas taste good too, and the water is cold from the machine, so it tastes better (doesn't melt down the ice so fast). Parking lot has plenty of space even for the busy days, but I have seen it filled to the max inside. read more

Great service, food, and atmosphere. Staff is very friendly. My wife and I will be back again.
