Nuevo Vallarta Closes

The former Amaya’s Taco Village space at 5405 N. IH-35, where the restaurant enjoyed a very successful run for quite some time, was leased less than a year ago to Nuevo Vallarta after Amaya’s moved across the highway. The new restaurant did not fare as well and the place has closed. Our readers commented that the food was similar to Amaya’s, but the new place never seemed to gain any gravitas and closed its doors a few weeks ago. One thing for sure: it’s rare when a Tex Mex joint closes in Austin.
