    We ordered the churrasco and one chicken breast with white sauce. The food was excellent,as usual. The gallo pinto is to die for. Service was prompt and perfect even with a crowded restaurant and what appeared to be two huge Xmas parties. Louder than usual due to the party crowd but you could still conduct a conversation without yelling.

    From the moment I stepped into El Novillo Restaurant on Bird Road 30 years ago, I knew I was in for a special dining experience. The inviting ambiance, adorned with warm lighting and tasteful decor, set the perfect backdrop for what turned out to always be an unforgettable dining experience. The latest highlight of my dining experience was undoubtedly the exceptional customer service provided by German. His attentiveness and genuine passion for hospitality made us feel welcomed and valued from the start. He effortlessly guided us through the menu, offering insightful recommendations that showcased the restaurant's culinary excellence. It was clear that German was not just serving food but creating an experience, and he did so with charm and professionalism. The food like always was exquisite! Each dish we ordered was a masterpiece, crafted with the finest ingredients and bursting with flavor. The presentation was stunning, making each course a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. From the perfectly cooked steak to the delightful sides, every bite was a testament to the culinary expertise at El Novillo. The combination of the delicious food, the attentive service from German, the live music and the warm, inviting atmosphere made this dining experience truly exceptional. If you’re looking for a restaurant that excels in every aspect, look no further. El Novillo is a gem, and I cannot recommend it highly enough!

    Todo la comida estuvo espectacular. La unica Retroalimentacion es que deberian ofrecer refrescos tipicos naturales nicaraguenses como: Cacao para elevar la experiencia gastronomica del restaurante. Gracias

    Sampler appetizers for 2 was excellent. Portion was more than enough. My wife and I both had the churrasco and meat was tender and tasty. I was surprised that when I received the check it was just under $100. We also both each had alcoholic drink. I highly recommend.
