Nena's Mexican Cuisine was a delight! The four of us had an amazing time savoring authentic dishes like enchiladas and tacos, paired with refreshing margaritas. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff made the night unforgettable. Fun fact: their recipes have been passed down for generations, and their salsa is made fresh daily. The portions were generous, and every bite was bursting with flavor. A minor downside? It got a bit noisy during peak hours, but it didn’t ruin the fun. Nena's is perfect for a night out with friends—great food, drinks, and memories!
We were on our way out of town, and looking for a close breakfast spot, we chose Nena’s. Upon entering the restaurant, you can hear upbeat music, hustling wait staff, and we were greeted and seated right away. The bright and cheery atmosphere was a nice welcome for a Sunday morning. We ordered the menudo and the egg scramble with nopales. Here is the photo of what we got for about $18 per person: hugs mug of coffee, freshly made chips and salsa, and big portions of freshly made food! Everything was delicious! Our waitresses were sweet and quick, and we will definitely go back there when we are in town again - highly recommended! Cynthia
1st time here, and I wasn't disappointed. Food and drinks were yummy. Music, too.. everyone was very nice and welcoming as soon as we walked in. We'll be back ☺️
Good food. Service was okay. We asked for corn tortillas but we got flour instead and the waitress didn’t come back and asked us if we needed anything else or refills or anything.
The food was great! The staff was tentative and friendly. Flavors are on point and the homemade flour tortillas are huge and delicious! They have live 🎼 music 🎵 which was a nice touch. They have an outside dining area that overlooks the water. Our family had a great time and will be going back for sure! Definitely a must try in Stockton!
