Authentic Mexican Delights with a Personal Touch

I recently had the pleasure of dining at El Nido in Danville, a hidden gem that serves up some of the most authentic Mexican cuisine I've ever tasted. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere made us feel right at home.

The food here is truly a standout. Every dish bursts with flavor and authenticity, from the perfectly seasoned tacos to the rich and savory mamas chicken soup. You can tell that each recipe has been passed down through generations, with ingredients that are fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Whether you're a fan of spicy salsas or prefer something milder, there's something on the menu for everyone.

What really sets this place apart, though, is the owner. Julia personally greets every guest with a genuine smile and makes it a point to ensure everyone feels like part of the family. During our visit, she even took the time to chat with us and take a photo with our kids, which was such a thoughtful touch. It’s clear that she cares deeply about her customers and the community.

If you're looking for an authentic Mexican dining experience with incredible food and a welcoming atmosphere, El Nido is the place to go. We'll definitely be returning soon!

I have dined at El Nido for years. Have always had a great experience. Great food, attentive service,good portions. There can be a wait during popular dinner hours.

I’ve been coming to el nido since I was a child, and I always make a stop here when I’m home! Their chicken soup is my comfort food, especially on a rainy day (add cheese and jalapeños)! Their chips and salsa are delicious, I also love their quesadilla, taco salad, and fajitas! They do great catering my family gets it for every family event we have! Their staff is so nice and welcoming they make you feel like you’re a part of their family!

We had a very disappointing experience eating here, primarily because of terrible service but the food was underwhelming as well. We waited for about 10 minutes to be seated at about 630pm on a Saturday with about 10 tables visibly empty. We had to remind the hostess to provide a high chair twice as my wife stood at the table baby in arm for far too long. Once seated, we had to flag down a waitress after seeing multiple servers and bussers enter and exit our area without greeting us. When we finally were able to catch one of their eyes, she was visibly annoyed as we were obviously not her responsibility. As we sat there over the next five minutes, other parties were seated, greeted, and provided drinks quickly. Maybe they were locals? This left a terrible impression. In any case, our food was delivered relatively quickly but we had to remind them to give us, you know, napkins and silverware. Twice. We never did figure out who was our server since noone came back to check on us until our meal was over. Totally subpar. As far as the food was concerned, the chicken soup was boring, the steak fajitas were bland and overcooked. The guacamole and salsa were passable, and the refried beans were delicious. Unfortunately we can not recommend this restaurant and we won't be back.

Terrible, overpriced, bland food and bad service. Small menu. The salsa tastes exactly like marinara. I got the shrimp tacos which only had 2 shrimp each and I had to pay $4 for small sides of sour cream and "guacamole" (literally mashed avocado without any flavor). Everything needs a heavy dash of salt and lime. The server was slow and not very friendly. Would not recommend this place at all.
