1/5 Nuevo has a loving atmosphere, which is more affectionate than the photos. It is emphasizing comforts and casual elegance. The menu has a wide range of cocktail and of course Sangria. The a la carte menu offers a great selection of hot and cold tapas as well as entrée.

Hummus (3/10)
This was the first cold appetizer, it is a Middle Eastern food, which is mashed chickpeas and blended with tahini sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic. I think the hummus was lacking the tahini sauce, and the presentation was rather pretentious. I prefer the standard one.
Gazpacho (2/10)A gazpacho should be a cold, refreshing soup with a fairly high level of acid that comes from vinegar, tomatoes or lemon or lime juice. To keep the cooking time short it’s the keys to success, because it can maintain the fresh flavour of the vegetables. However, the gazpacho was rather bland and watery, lacked seasoning (Tabasco, sherry vinegar, salt and pepper). Overall, it was acceptable.
Grilled Sardine (3/10)Like other oil fish, sardines spoil quickly so the chef should make sure they are very fresh. But how? Look for bright, clear eyes and firm flesh, and check that they smell faintly of the sea – definitely not ammonia or too fishy.
The Sardine was too lightly season, lacked some rosemary and thyme, but the timing was about right.
Scottish Rock (5/10)The Scottish rock was decent, light flavor with a smooth texture and a hint of sweetness. It tasted fresh and loved the delicate after taste, which linger around your mouth.
Iberico Pork (5/10)The pork was really good, the sauce was exceptional well. The pork was just slightly over cook, it would be prefer to cook pink. Nonetheless, it was still the best dish of the night by far.
Dinner was good in general; the waiter explained the menu well and suggested what’s good with passion. The ambience was lovely, definitely would like to come back happy hour and a quick snacks.Give me a thumbs up if you like it!
