Welcome to El Nido Mexican Restaurant & Catering

“ The carnitas here were fantastic! The service was also perfect. They were attentive and genuinely nice. Their aguas frescas were so good too! Big, big personal thank you to Julia for taking great care of us! We’ll be back! ”

“ **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 love El Nido. Good atmosphere and not too busy so service is good. Food very solid and authentic. ”

“ 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! ”

“ Cute little place, food was good and serving size were pretty big, service was great when my family and I visited, I can only guess the bad experiences are based off the day to day situation since it is a mom and pop restaurant, I have no bad experiences whatsoever, only disappointment that's I couldn't have the dragon fruit drink because I was the designated driver, it looked good! Lack of 1 star is because the place felt a little stuffy for my taste but nothing too drastic. ”

“ Chips and salsa were really good and the orchata was really good also but the food was the best :) ”

“ El Nido has been a favorite of mine since my kids were little, and it still holds a special place in my heart. The food is truly authentic Mexican, full of flavor, comforting, and always delicious. Their drinks are just as good, making every visit feel like a celebration. What makes El Nido even more special is that it’s a family-owned restaurant. You can feel the personal love and care in every detail, which gives it such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you make memories as much as you enjoy the meal. I can’t wait to visit again soon. El Nido deserves every bit of these five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ”
