★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Elizabeth Hornig · Jan 2026

I’m so disappointed bc we’ve been wanting to eat here for awhile and it’s soo close to home. I ordered shrimp fajitas which is supposed to come with rice, beans, tortillas, lettuce, sour cream & cotija cheese. It was missing the beans!! Which is a huge staple in fajitas & it was on the menu!! We got our food 30-40 mins before they closed so by the time we got home & sat down to eat and I noticed it was after 8, when they close on Sundays, so I was NOT happy! I can’t really eat peppers & onions(which is fine I know they put it with fajitas) but they had half container huge portion of peppers & onions and the other half all rice and the shrimp (they give 10 small/medium size which is decent) How did they miss the beans??!! They had to have known bc there was so much room for it in container.

Today, I ordered takeout and I wasn't disappointed. First time at the restaurant and I was greeted like I was family. Family owned and operated, which I love supporting local businesses. I meet the owners and family, and they were extremely cordial and friendly. The restaurant was nicely set up with plenty of seating. It was also very clean inside. I had the shrimp tacos with avocado and a side of rice. The meal was very flavorful and delicious. The sauces were very good as well. I'm looking forward to going back and trying out more of their authentic dishes. If you're in the area, I highly recommended going there and giving it a try for yourself. If you like my review and photos, please give then a thumbs up and follow me for great locations to go. CHEERS.....

★★★★☆ 4.0 Rachana · Jun 2022

A good local Mexican restaurant I believe ran by a family:) The lady was welcoming Ambiance- the ambiance was colourful and homely. Plenty of seating inside. Service- Service was good and quick. The server was polite. Food - We ordered Chicken burrito- my friend loved the burrito, was freshly cooked and the red salsa/sauce the served made it more delicious. the quantity was large so couldn’t finish the burrito in one go. Fish Tacos- the fried fish could do more seasoning. I would prefer to taste their chicken tacos. *** we ordered fresh fruit watermelon juice which was so refreshing ans good, one star goes for the fresh juice which they serve*** I think the dish prices can be better, i felt it is a bit pricey for the place. In support of local restaurants, I would definitely recommen

If you are looking for traditional Mexican street food, this is the right place. The food is delicious and the service is exceptional. It is also a wonderful family restaurant, and it is great to see the whole family involved in the business.

★★★★★ 5.0 Daniel Adin · Feb 2026

La Nova is the definition of a hidden gem. It’s a small, unassuming spot that skips the flashy decor to focus entirely on what matters: incredibly authentic, soul-warming Mexican food. If you’re tired of "fusion" and just want the real deal, this is your place.
