"Unfortunately a filthy restaurant for failing to maintain their trash. As you can see there is trash residue all over the ground. Atrocious smell reaping through the streets all day long. Rats trap placed by the area which doesn’t surprise any due to the conditions mentioned. Additionally, garbage water everywhere. What a lack of care and ethical standards from Fornos of Spain. For ownership to be in the city for such a long time yet 0 care for environment is baffling. A showcase of carelessness and ignorance to cleanliness. I can only imagine how dirty the kitchen is. An embarrassment to walk by."

"Had the pleasure of handling business with the establishment for years, however my most recent experience wasn’t satisfactory. A worker failed to spell a name that wasn’t difficult to decorate and ended up quite sloppy. I understand mistakes made made, but within the same interaction; I told her the correct spelling over three times beforehand. Overall, this experience has soured my confidence in relying this business for future birthdays and celebrations. :"

"One day, a few years back, I came to this place with a friend but forgot the name. Today while I was driving around I came across it again and I couldn't be more happy. It's one of those places where you may be full but you don't want to stop eating. Amazing place."

"We sat outside and it was very pleasant. They have heat lamps so it's great even if it get's a little chilly. Our waiter was very attentive and checked in after he brought each new item. We really enjoyed the roasted cauliflower, the banana leaf chicken, and the vegetable paella. We came back after the ballet and enjoyed a drink and listened to the band (awesome music)."

"Absolutely 5 plus stars! The food is fresh and authentically homemade—those fish tacos are delicious! The female chefs do a fantastic job, and the margaritas are amazing. The service is excellent, and since it's family-owned, they really make you feel at home. They even played our musical requests while we enjoyed our time at the charming bar. I will definitely be back!"

"Incredible mexican restaurant. Love the appetizers of chips and guac (spicy is hot! or the nopales. My favorite dishes here are the lengua burrito (burritos are wet style burritos that come with some delicious rice and beans and the chili rellenos. Can't go wrong with any of the Mexican choices. Unsure what the pizza is like but that's not why I come here. They also have a few beers available. A hidden gem i share here because I want them to prosper."

"I found it. One of the biggest bummers about moving from the west coast to NC was the dearth of authentic Mexican cuisine. So, it was certainly an unexpected and pleasant surprise finding this gem in northeast Raleigh. Though it 's attached to a gasstation (albeit among the most modern and ritzy ones I 've ever encountered), that 's where the hole-in-the-wall stereotypeends. Clean establishment, massive menu, prompt and friendly service, and food that resembles everything I remember about myhome state. I had the huge burrito, and my wife opted for the street tacos. We were not disappointed. I 'll be returning hereweekly at this rate."

"Great food, I have tried the enchiladas and carne asada, and my kids loved the kids meals. The customer service is the best, everyone is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is welcoming, my kids can be kids, our family can be loud and not feel out of place! ; We will continue eating here.... Thank you El Nuevo Mexico!"

"I ordered a delivery order. Simple. 1) sancocho 2) morir soñando. Result. After eating 1 hour for my order. I received in sancocho que parecía una sopa de pollo. It looks like the chicken went into a jacuzzi and came out with no flavour. The morir soñando was a orange juice. Very disappointed at Caridad. Charge me $20.00 but give me a sanchocho no una agua de teni. The sanchocho estaña aguado una agua con sopita. Por favor no engañen a la gente. Fix the Sam chocho the right way. I was so upset o have to come here a write this."

"The service was mediocre. Waitress was extremely slow, ordering entree took much longer than expected. Order alcohol drinks, which sat at the bar for a longer period of time than usual. Celebrated 2 birthday guests at our table. All in our party have dinned at Havana 1957 Pembroke pines numerous times before, unfortunately this experience was not the best. Food was ok, seemed like the food sat in the kitchen window as when the food arrived at our table, food was warm/ almost cold. It was very warm inside of the restaurant, not as comfortable as in our previous experience. The photos that the photographer took of our table was horrible and rushed . Majority of the pictures came out horrible with photo spots on a lot of the prints."

"Avoid this restaurant at all costs. The staff is very rude and shows no hospitality unless you speak Spanish or are Dominican. Their attitude is unpleasant and unfriendly. I do not recommend this place to anyone. It warrants investigation and should be closed down."

"Always a great choice for family night or date night. The menu expands beyond traditional choices but each element of every plate seems to be prepared with care. The helpful, personable and attentive staff are open to changes and substitutions to ensure everyone gets exactly what they want. While the signature dishes such as the pollo con mole and shrimp relleno stand out, they never stand alone, the beans are always just right, the rice is always perfect, the vegetables always fresh. All the food for a course arrives at the table at the same time to ensure everyone is served together. Hot food is always piping hot. The details are taken seriously here and although you may not always notice at the time, they add up to make the entire experience a pleasant one."

"First of all, the tacos are fantastic! However, I find the prices to be quite high. They explain the increased costs by saying "costs are rising," but charging over $30 for six tacos and a horchata seems excessive to me. Given the restaurant's location, I appreciate that the food is great, but when I dine in, I expect the ambiance to reflect the price I'm paying. The atmosphere is rather basic and not at all what I would expect for such a high meal cost. When eating out and paying restaurant prices, you anticipate a pleasant environment and a welcoming feeling, but that's not what I experienced here. I sincerely hope they reconsider their pricing and work on enhancing how they treat their customers."

"I've ordered from this restaurant twice, and both times my order was incorrect. There's always something off with what I receive. For instance, I ordered tres golpes, but it didn't come with fried cheese. I requested cheese empanadas and received chicken instead. I also ordered a combo that included baked chicken, moro, and beans, but the beans were missing. The moro was very dry, almost as if it wasn't fresh, and the mangu was overly oily."

"This restaurant is terrible! The service was dreadful. My daughter and I ordered cheese pizza and beef chimichangas, and the food was extremely disappointing. Her pizza was soggy and soaked with a slimy liquid, clearly from being microwaved. My dish was overly salty, as if someone had dumped an entire salt shaker into the pot. The beef was dry and tasted old. When my daughter tried the beef burrito, it was even worse—soggy, excessively salty, and just unpleasant. My sister's fajitas were also a letdown; they were dry and tasted like stale kitchen grease. Everything we tried was awful. I strongly advise against spending your money here. As I write this, I'm seriously considering a trip to the ER for potential food poisoning."

"The food is absolutely fantastic, the prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous. However, I've faced some frustration trying to order online or by phone, as they often seem to be closed. I've visited in person twice, and both times the service was excellent. Just this past Monday, we attempted to order around midday, but the restaurant was closed. Now it's Friday at 2:30 PM, and no one is answering the phone, nor are the apps taking orders. It’s confusing to know the right time to call or place an order. We genuinely want to support this restaurant, but it's difficult when their availability is so inconsistent. For these reasons, I'm rating it a 4 out of 5. The food itself deserves a 5 out of 5—if only we could actually get it!"

"Unfortunately, the food was inedible. As a Mexican, I really wanted to enjoy this meal because their website claims they use authentic and fresh ingredients. I ordered my food through DoorDash. The churros made me feel violently ill, there was little to no meat in the fajitas, and they looked old. The queso was watery and flavorless, and the chips were stale. The only positive aspect was the tortillas, which seemed to be handmade, and that's why I'm giving it one star. The rice and beans were old and not good—just very disappointing. Thankfully, I was able to get half my money back from DoorDash. Thank you, DoorDash."

"We had a great dining experience at this restaurant. Our party consisted of five adults and a small child. Our drink orders were taken promptly, and we were quickly served salsa and chips. The menu offered a good variety, and we ended up ordering quite a few dishes. Since it was lunchtime, I opted for the Speedy Gonzales, which came with one taco, one enchilada, and refried beans. It was delicious! Our drinks were refilled just in time, well before they ran out. The atmosphere was pleasant, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and the prices were reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys Mexican cuisine and wants a delightful culinary experience!"
