10Best Says

The salsa at Nuevo Laredo is outstanding. For entrees, a safe bet is the shrimp enchiladas or the the chicken with mole sauce. Fish lovers should get the fish tacos. One thing that stands out about these fish tacos are that are made with Salmon instead of Tilapia like many other restaurants that offer fish tacos. The service is always extremely quick and efficient just like the majority of Mexican restaurants around the Atlanta area. Parking can be difficult to find. While they have a free lot across the street, it fills up rather quickly, so expect to park on nearby streets.
