Anniversaries have a way of making you look back, and this month, we’re celebrating 15 years with full hearts and plenty to be thankful for! 🧡

From NanaTaco to NuvoTaco, we’ve been lucky to grow alongside our Durham community. We’ve seen plenty of changes and faced our share of challenges along the way, including adapting through COVID.

Thank you for choosing us, growing with us, and continuing to show up for us year after year. We truly wouldn’t be here without you.

It’s officially fall, so naturally everyone’s talking about pumpkin spice. And listen, we get it. We’re fans, too. 🎃

But when the first day of fall is serving up temps in the low 80s? We’re making ours frozen.

Grab our Frozen Mango Margarita and call it fall, Durham style. 🥭🍹

You don’t want to know... And honestly, nobody tell him. 🤫🥑

National Guacamole Day has arrived, and our fresh avocados have an important job to do. Our housemade guacamole is made fresh daily and ready for dipping, scooping, and adding to your NuvoTaco favorites.

Sorry, little buddy. It’s for a delicious cause.

Update: we had a seventh “Mexican smoothie.”

Still unclear on the translation. Very clear on ordering another frozen mango margarita. 🥭🍋‍🟩
