Came by with my family. I was recommended to come here and I must say it was amazing. Chips were warm and fresh along with the great salsa roja with a pineapple water to drink. Customer service was excellent. Food was as expected and delicious. I will say come only if you're really hungry. The plates are huge and large portions. Prices are definitely worth it. I now recommend this place to you! read more

Went there for their Machitos and the beef flautas and a horrible experience. My advice is to stay away from this location. Go across the street to PLAYA MAYA for food. I ordered the Machitos which were the worse I have ever seen or tasted. They must have been pre cooked the day before and microwaved. They were not freshly cooked and were cold. I sent them back and requested the same as my spouse, the flautas. To my surprise they were just as horrible as the canbrito. The meat was extremely dry and they were pre made and microwaved. The only fresh thing on our plates were the tomato and lettuce. They claim to except credit cards so I gave them my Amex and was told that it was not excepted. So I paid cash and come to find out they don't take Amex, yet they claim credit cards excepted period. I Will not recommend this business ever read more

Restaurant Nuevo Leon - Según el dueño es medio cabrito 175 dólares - Mexican Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

The Monterrey Feast was wonderful. The meat cuts were thick and juicy, the flavor of the shrimp was perfect. I believe the corn tortillas were homemade. I also tried the flan and it did not disappoint either. Our waiter was so friendly and provided excellent service. This was our first visit we will definitely be back. Don't skip this hidden gem. read more

Restaurant Nuevo Leon - The Monterrey feast was so good. The meat cuts were thick and juicy, the shrimp was - Mexican Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

A decent experience that has plenty of room for improvement but gets the job done as well. Walking in, it had a good balance of being tex mex in theme, but plenty of Mexicans were eating here. Service was great, and the waiter did a good job pacing his presence. He could have came around with more water, but I was also very thirsty that day. The Ground beef Nachos were good, but Id say give it a few minutes before diving into the dish. On the first few bites, the cheese was completely sliding off the chip. Beef Quesadillas are just OK. They don't do any special seasoning with the outside of the tortilla. Nor is there anything that gives this an extra edge. Its just standard shredded beef and cheese inside the quesadilla. They give you a decent amount of guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo around the plate to spruce it up. Chips and Salsa were standard. The salsa was actually pretty hot, which I like. The chips could have been a touch thicker to my taste, but they were golden brown and tasted great. I cant help to feel the Horchata is made from a packet mix here, but it had enough of that chalky cinnamon and rice taste along with a good amount of sweetness for me to still like it. The Beef Flauntas were probably my favorite part of the meal. They fry these to a golden brown crisp! They may not as pretty as other places, but they bring the crunchy, greasy goodness! Overall, I had higher hopes for this place, but considering ts Tex Mex in Ft Worth, its certainly better than the overpriced, over glorified margarita bar that is Meso Maya. It feels more homemade than El Fenix. I did have a good meal and it was reasonably priced. read more

Food was ok wasn't crowded I will come back and our sever Janeth was the best for sure. Made us feel so welcomed.

I ordered a torta, it said it had avocado on the menu... when i got my torta it had one tiny slice, when i asked the server if that was right, he said he would go check. The owner comes up to me and says avocado is expensive and says he will have them bring me more... long story short they charged me for the avocado that was supposed to be on the torta ... not cool read more

We wanted to eat after visiting the stockyards but did not want to deal with the throngs of people so we ventured just a few blocks away and found this place which was not crowded at all. The ambience reminded me of a restaurant in Mexico, right down to the menus with peeling plastic and updated prices taped on. There is a good variety of dishes to choose from, with a nice representation of genuine Mexican food that real Mexicans eat. We, however, opted for Tex-Mex. The margaritas are made with an artificial juice instead of real limes, so we've been spoiled by Marianos. The wife ordered the enchiladas and they were good but not fantastic. She got ground beef inside, one with salsa verde and one with sour cream sauce for $8.99. My chicken fajita nachos likewise were good but the meat was not cooked over flame so it lacked that smoky goodness. Still, they were good nachos that came with guac, sour cream, jalapeños, pico, tomato slice, and a slice of onion. I could not eat them all--8 to an order for $11.49. Our server was friendly and helpful, no complaints. The parking lot, such as it is, is very small so it is best to do street parking. Overall, it was a good experience but does not compare to our all-time favorite, Marianos in Dallas. read more

My goodness gracious! The chips are crispy and warm, salsa perfect and spicy. Beer ICE COLD!!!!! So cold that there's a layer of thin ice. Ask for it salted and it comes in a frozen mug. Spinach enchiladas were phenomenal with the yummy sour cream sauce and my husbands steak tacos were the best he ever had. AWESOME!!!!! read more

The absolute best fajitas I've had in a long time. Great portions, delicious homemade salsa. I high recommend checking it out.

Reading the reviews others have left, I expected some GREAT cabrito. However, what I was served was a small piece of leg that looked like it had been mummified. It had been way over-cooked, very little meat, and was dry and tasteless. I will never return. Server was fine. Ambiance was fine. I came for the cabrito, from out of town. So disappointing. read more

Went to this place with my wife. She got the Camarones Al mojo de ajo and I got the Arachera. Both plates didn't disappoint. The Arachera came on a bed of onions along with cebollitas and peppers and a side of frijoles charros. Very good taste. The Camarones came with rice and steamed veggies and my wife said the shrimp were delicious. Chips and salsa were a 7/10. I recommend this place if you are around the Stockyards! read more

Great spot! So much liveliness and fun happening. The live music was a treat. The food was fresh, tasteful, largely portioned and the service was quick and attentive. COVID regulations were being followed and everyone was friendly. read more

Great food. Great service. Better food than Joe T Garcias and it's not even much of a competition. Looks a little sketchy from outside but don't let that fool you. read more

The Menudo was good needs more hominy. The server was great Always amazing but the managers make you feel a little uneasy as they sit in the corner and look at you while you eat. The ceviche was good. Enchiladas could've been a little better. The salsa could be a little better, but other than that I would recommend. read more

This place is amazing! There is nothing fancy about it, but it lacks nothing. First off, we were warmly greeted when we walked in. The staff was pleasant and nice the entire time. The chips and salsa were solid. They weren't the best I've ever had but would be happy in any mex restaurant to get them. I had the torta. It was honestly a top 5 sandwich ever for me and that's saying something. It had so many different kinds of meat in it. It walked right up to the edge of being too much but everything complimented each other. The bonus was this thing was humongous. I am a big eater and ate half. My wife had the chicken chimichanga. This is her standard go to fare in Mexican restaurants. She said this was hands down the best one she's ever had. She was sad she could only eat half. All in all probably the best Mexican restaurant experience I've had in 10 years in Texas. I know that's saying a lot, but try it before judging that statement. read more

Food is amazing! I do recommend coming here but the servers (the women) are absolutely RUDE. And that's the only reason I'm giving 1 star. They give you attitude for asking simple questions and I asked for extra salsa and was told "I'll bring you more when you finish what I gave you". Obviously I know how much salsa I want and I am paying for it. There's no reason someones arguing with me over that! The food is amazing although now I feel uncomfortable eating here because of their attitude and stares. The male waiters are AMAZING I recommend requesting them. Just don't ask for more salsa LOL! read more

Restaurant Nuevo Leon - The amount of salsa I was "allowed" to have. And to share between 3 people. - Mexican Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

This place is a solid four. I went for lunch with some co-workers and it was pretty empty. I'm new to the Stockyards area so I'm learning about all the little gems and this is definitely one of them. The chips they set out at the table are warm and fresh and I love that they provide separate bowls for double dipping your own salsa :). They have a nice list of lunch specials, from which I ordered the beef fajitas. The meat was tender, veggies were hot and fresh as well. I got a side of onions and cilantro to make some tacos and it was delicious. Love that they also give you pico which isn't traditionally provided with a fajita plate in my past experiences. I opted for no beans and guac but the rice was some of the best Mexican rice I've ever had. I finished my plate and was satisfied for a few hours. My only issue is that the server was a little slow for it to be so empty in there. Overall, I found a nice, AUTHENTIC spot and will be returning. read more

I ordered Chicken Soup, Guacamole and a Burrito it also came with rice and beans. The Chicken Soup was all water, the beans were different not what I know from growing up Mexican. The Guacamole was nasty, and the chips were old. The Burrito was ok I have had better. I won't be going back the whole thing to me was old food. Very disappointed read more

Pretty good food! Although the menu is rather limited in comparison to other places that I have been to. But they have delicious salsa (I don't like the really chunky kind) and very good rice. Was served pretty quickly too read more

Delicious from the chips & salsa, to the fajitas, rice & beans, 10/10! Best fajitas I've had in a while. Good service, our waiter was Cesar, he was fast & polite. Definitely recommend & will return soon. ¡Delicioso desde las chips y la salsa hasta las fajitas, el arroz y los frijoles, 10/10! Las mejores fajitas que he probado en mucho tiempo.

I have been forced to eat here three times and each time I eat at this place I end up throwing up. Food is nasty

I absolutely hated it they drop kicked my grandma and my food had like 5 hairs in it. I found a roach in my food and it started dancing on my plate. I will NEVER eat here again read more

We thought we'd try a Mexican restaurant that we have not been to and decided on Nuevo León based on the Yelp reviews. We were not disappointed. In it's architectural style and and ambiance NL is one of those old style Mexican restaurants which really appeals to us. It's the 1940's and 1950's Mexican restaurant look of Fort Worth and San Antonio, and so many others. The chips were warm and the salsa tastes quite fresh with just the right amount of heat to suit me. I had the cheese enchiladas with rice and retried beans. The cheese enchiladas were stuffed full cheese and topped by a typical ground beef chili sauce. Very tasty. The rice was typical as were the beans, but the flavor of the beans was remarkably good leading me to suspect that they are prepared with actual lard. My wife has the chile rellenos covered with a light colored queal sauce. The poblano was large and appeared to be fresh. The dish was quite tasty and what I will order next visit. I had a schooner of Dos Equis draft. The glass is rimmed with salt and the bar added fresh lime juice. One demanded a second! LOL. The service was excellent. Our server was perfectly attentive and a couple other employees checked on us to see how things were. We definitely will visit again soon taking one of our Mexican food loving dining companions friends with us next time. read more

Good food and great friendly staff. My family and I come here often on birthdays and the staff goes the extra mile to make sure we have a great meal. It's a small little restaurant on the outside but in the inside it's a decent place to come and eat. I highly recommend to eat here if you like good authentic Mexican cuisine . read more

Ate here last night. Pretty good! The menu (forgot to snap a pic) consists of a lot of seafood and other oddities that are for the "adventurous" type. My plate has red chili pork/rice/beans. It was good, the meat was tender and the beans were fresh and delicious! The appetizer "Queso Flameado"was my FAVORITE"!! I could of just eaten this with flour tortillas as a meal! YUM! Also tried the sopapilla w/cinnamon ice cream, they were warm and were very good. They served syrup with them, which I prefer honey. Had I not been rolled out of there, from being so full, I might of requested honey! Last but not least, the chips and salsa were addicting! I will come back! We were seated quickly, drinks came in a flash and the waiter was on top of everything!! Food was warm, the atmosphere was lovely and the staff were more than nice! Thank you for the yum yum to my tum deliciousness!! WILL B BACK MY FRIENDS!! read more

You know a place is gonna be good when you walk in and you're the only gringos there. All eyes on us walking in. Just wave. We've always passed the string of mexican restaurants up on North main. Don't judge this restaurant by it's outside! It's clean and nice inside. Very spacious. The chips were crispy and the salsa was tasty. My cheese loving daughter had to have queso. It was really good. They have a couple of seafood soups, carnes, some tex mex, and fish. When you walk in, you can see a goat being cooked. You can get the whole cabrito for $25. I got the Chile Relleno with chicken. The description didn't state how it was cooked. For some reason I didn't ask either. It came battered, which I don't like. My bad. After scraping the batter off, it was pretty good. My husband got the whole fish with al mojo sauce. Al mojo is a garlic sauce. There is 3 other sauces for the fish too. The whole fish comes with rice and vegetables. My husband said it was right up my alley with the little bits of garlic on it. He was right, I tasted the fish and loved it. He's not a fan of garlic ever since Google told him to suck on a clove for a tooth ache. Lol. Half way into the meal we switched. The best fish I've had around here. The Chile Relleno was pretty good, but I'll come here for the fish and Cabrito. I'd like to try the soups as well. read more

We were on the hunt for some ceviche and found this gem right down the street from the stockyards.

Even had a mariachi band playing. read more

EAT HERE NOW!! The best Cabrito Al Pastor (barbecued goat) we have had since we were in Reynosa, Mexico. When you step out of your car you can't miss the delicious aromas of pit-roasting young goat, just like the ones that are in windows of restaurants all over Mexico. The restaurant is impeccable clean, newly-renovated, in a historic building, and has friendly and professional bilingual wait staff, Restaurante Nuevo León has plenty of room for families, couples, and bigger parties of 6+. Kids had Beef Fajitas for Two (21.99) which came with long thick strips of tender flank steak, marinated in lime juice, salt, and pepper. The steak was fork-tender and juicy, exactly as you would expect at a place that so clearly knows meat. Sides of retried beans (clearly made with lard), mexican rice, and guacamole studded with jalapeño were very good. You order your Cabrito Al Pastor here as you do in Mexico -- by the part of the goat you want: breast, ribs, or leg. Ribs come with a kidney -- BONUS!!! :) Hubby had the leg of goat which is milder in flavor, with more meat. The meat was very tender and juicy -- absolutely delicious. I had the goat ribs, which were better than the ones I had in Mexico. These ribs were juicy, smoky, flavourful, and roasted without a lot of spices to compete with the meat. Salt is all that was used, and the result was sublime. The bonus kidney was delicate, sweet, and creamy, and came with more fat than I expected -- but it was all Y-U-M. Sides for the Cabrito include home style borracho beans and guacamole. Restarante Nuevo León is our new fave place to eat on the North Side -- they are closed on Mondays. read more

Repeat visit to one of our favorite restaurants for authentic Mexican food (not Tex-Mex). We started with the Ceviche Regio, a traditional blend of marinated fish, onion, and jalapeños over a bed of lettuce. For entrees, I had the Catfish Al Mojo, a large filled, covered with roasted garlic, which came with fries and a small salad, while P had beef fajitas, which came with guacamole, sour cream, rice & refried beans. We also added a small guacamole and a cheese Chile Rellano with Verde sauce. Everything came out essentially at once, forcing us to quickly finish the ceviche before the rest of the food cooled off, and waiter misunderstood that I wanted an ala carte chili rellano instead of a full platter (which we were charged for, even after bringing it to the writer's attention). The food was deserving of 5 stars, but the service was definitely only a 3 on this visit, which was surprising, since service on previous visits was much better. Hopefully, this is not a trend. read more

EAT HERE NOW is right, y'all. If you judge a restaurant by the basics then this place has hit the mark on them all. SERVICE: 1. Fast, friendly and attentive ATMOSPHERE: 1. Comfortable dining room. Full bar, cold beer 2. Clean clean clean, even the bathrooms. A big plus to me. 3. TVs showing soccer, but not blaring 4. Nice covered patio in the back 5. In the front, an enclosed area with an interesting wood grill with baby goats on spits for the cabrito. (If you are offended by the sight of baby goats being grilled, might be best to come in the back door.) FOOD: 1. Chips and Salsa = Fresh, crispy chips with fresh salsa that had a moderate, spicy kick 2. Beans = Without a doubt, some of the best charro beans I have tasted in Fort Worth 3. Rice = Tasty, definitely not mushy 4. Prices = moderate to inexpensive 5. Portion sizes = perfect for the price point 6. Many authentic offerings like the cabrito and machitos The only thing keeping this from being a 5 star review is that the temperature of the enchilada platter was a little too tepid for Mr Possum, though that didn't stop him from eating every bite. Mrs Possum's chimichanga, on the other hand, was nice and hot and provided a decent amount to go home. I'm not lying when I say the charro beans were great. They should sell them with cornbread. The couple of blocks near Ellis and Main are home to some of the best Mexican restaurants in Fort Worth. Nuevo Leon definitely pulls its weight. read more

Lemme say it's a value. #1 lunch special for 8.99 and a ton of fresh food. Chips and salsa are fresh and hot. Extensive lunch menu. I asked what most popular are and he said fajitas and combo. I ordered combo. A taco, a ceviche nacho, 2 fried shrimp and two fried stuffed jalapeños. Big plate. All fresh. All good. Guac stood out as fresh and perfectly executed. Didn't stay for apparent drink specials. Easy in and out at lunch. Nothing blows my hair back but sometimes you just need a good plate of Mexican food and that's what this place delivers. read more
