    I can’t believe I’d never been to El Novillero before, especially since it’s been here for decades (est. 1970).

    I was really impressed with how friendly the staff was, how clean the restaurant was, and how quickly the food came out. Most importantly, the food was excellent.

    The prices were fair, and having a large parking lot right across the street made it super convenient.

    I can definitely see why this place has been around for so long. If you’re in the area and looking for great Mexican food, I highly recommend giving El Novillero a try.

    We went there yesterday and had lunch. It wasn’t too busy and the food was great. I ordered a shrimp burrito and the way it was made was not what I was expecting. It came with the flour, tortilla and shrimp and then all the fix-ins were on the side. So basically I had to make my own burrito. I ended up only eating half of the tortilla and just ate the rest of it which probably saved me some calories. We ordered strawberry margaritas with salt and ended up getting plain margaritas with Saul. That was basically the only mistake but overall I would recommend this restaurant to eat

    I did not eat here. I waited 15min to be seated, but once the menu was provided I noticed lard is in all of their food items “to preserve the authentic taste”. As someone who doesn’t eat pork I was a little disappointed to find this out after 15min. The staff was not rude, but there’s also nothing to praise there. The atmosphere seems to mimic a Mexican vibe but its a little dusty. Wish I could have tried them out.

    This is a great place to celebrate something with a lot of people. The food was terrific and the salsa was big hit, they couldn’t keep it on the table as we were devouring it. There are a lot of of things to look at in the restaurant. Restrooms were clean and tidy. The staff were on there game, they were wonderful. Make sure if you when a large party you make reservations as this place is popular.
