How have I never been to Nena"s and lived here for over twenty plus years!! I should be ashamed . Well, that changed today, Hubby and I went after the Ports game and will fornsure return. The service was incredible, and the food was even better. There was so much food!!! Chips and salsa were delicious. We will be back, and if I could, I would give this place 10 plus stars!!!!! Best Mexican food around. Oh and the hand made tortillas.... to die for!!!!!!!!!!
He said pick me up at Nena's Mexican Cuisine Restaurant...My pal Hector Gonzales was down in Stockton for the winter car show displaying both his 65 Riviera and his 64 Impala, where he was expected to take 1st place and best of show on the low rider division, but the night before someone swiped his car carrier and his show cars. The Apple Tracking device picked them up in Bakersfield at a high school parking lot the next morning, and we were able to get them back unharmed. All that excitement and all Hector could talk about was the food at Nena's Mexican Cuisine Restaurant, so we went back! He missed the car show but ate some Amazing Mexican food. ☆☆☆☆☆
Came here as a second stop for more food, but it had a lively atmosphere. Ordered guacamole and some shrimp ceviche dish. Both were good. It's located right next to the river. I'd return to this place if I'm back in Stockton.
Good food with very reasonable pricing. We arrived in the evening and was a bit hesitant about the surrounding being so quiet and a bit sketchy lol… but glad we didn’t walk away.
I think the night cook need to be replaced. The nachos where nasty. Something my child could make way better then that. Casa Flores nachos are way delicious and not worth buying here. The camarones rancheros was blan. I was disappointed this time. The waiters lagged we where seated right away. However it took our Waiters 10 minutes for us to at least get our chips and salsa. Then it took another 10 to 15 minutes to get water.
