Restaurant: Nuevo Laredo Cantina

New to Atlanta and with a craving for Mexican food, we headed to Nuevo Laredo Cantina for dinner.  It was a weekday night.  We missed our turn and ended up in a very nice area of Atlanta before getting back on track and wondering if we had made another wrong turn this time to a very not nice area of town.  Its dark, there are warehouses everywhere, no one is out, and then we turned the corner and there was Nuevo Laredo surrounded by about 50 cars, the restaurant was packed.  Food was delicious, I had mole vegetable enchiladas, they make it in house.  Some of the best mole I have ever had.  Salsa could use improvement,  the red salsa was too mild and the green salsa was too chunky, but the entrees were just right.  And while I don't drink tequila, those who do will probably only need one margarita at NLC, they are about the size of a fishbowl.  We will be back very soon.
