Had a big lunch. Was it bad? No. But the ground beef they serve there has an unusual flavor to which Americans might not be accustomed. Maybe it's super authentico, but not what Americans think of when we order ground beef burrito or enchilada. Overall, not bad, but not great, either.

I never would have expected Mexican food that was so authentic in St. Joseph, MO! Being born and raised in Southern California, I tend to have high standards for Mexican food. The food was amazing! The owners were welcoming and very polite. It was a great meal, great atmosphere and a very reasonable price. I will definitely be back.Thank you for a great lunch

Stopped for my 34 at Love's nearby. Nelly's is a place totally worth getting your dog-tired butt out of that sleeper. Have a short walk and enjoy the genuine mexican cuisine spiced with friendly service and relaxing atmosphere.
