If you’re looking for incredible Latin-inspired flavors in a cozy setting, Nelly’s is a must-try! Highly recommend! ”
“ Absolutely wonderful place. Food is always unbelievable. Staff is always nice. Ambience is good as well. Fancy feeling place without feeling over the top and the crazy places. The wings are amazing and if I remember right they are smoked for a long time which makes them even better. The sauces they use are different than normal wing sauces which is a welcome change. Their rotisserie chicken is their standard dish from what I’ve been told and it stands up to the hype. The flavor is Smokey and so savory. Probably my favorite thing is the quinoa soup. Full of veggies and the house chicken with lots of quinoa. It comes with a piece of bread that I would eat a whole basket of if they gave it to me. All of the rellenos are delicious and definitely worth a try Even the sides like the beans and the rice are flavored because they take the time to season it. So good! ”
“ Had a very good dining experience. My wife and I came to try their charcoal chicken and it was very good. The restaurant was clean, well lit and the service was excellent. ”
“ Updated 3/18/25 Brought my wife here for her first time and absolutely was not disappointed! She had their sangria and I had their take on a pisco sour and both hit the spot. Then we had their beef empanada which was delicious, and I had the silpanco sandwich and she had the salpicon. Both were phenomenal, and tasted like the ones I had when in Bolivia! Highly recommend, and will certainly be returning to this local treasure. Definitely a great first experience here. Starting off with the tostadas, fried yuca and a relleno all absolutely hit the spot. I would recommend more dipping sauce, you can't go wrong with having more of it! Then I ordered the silpancho, a thinly sliced piece of top sirloin with an over easy egg overtop of specialty rice and fries(a classic way of serving items in Bolivia). Using my leftover sauce it all came together for a delicious meal with plenty of leftovers. I also got a cup of sopa de mani(peanut soup) to go and I will say, I didn't expect the thinly sliced potatoes in it but it was delicious nonetheless! I'll be excited to return to try their smoked rotisserie chicken or planchitas(a delicious essentially sampler plate my friend got)! ”
“ This place has awesome wings and Rotisserie Style Chicken. We got the app platter as well which is an wonderful value for the Amount of food you receive . It took a while to get out wings but it was because they were cooked fresh and chicken does take a while to cook completely. Can't wait until I can visit again ”
“ Nelly's is an absolute gem of a restaurant...the food is so fresh, flavorful, and beyond delicious! Everything is homemade and the attention to detail with each dish is evident. The owners are the kindest people and take such pride and care in every aspect of the restaurant! I will definitely continue to frequent this wonderful business. ”
“ The chicken is so amazing it doesn't even make sense! Tostones are perfect! ”
“ Great delicious and authentic Bolivian food. Was in town from NYC for the National Museum of the Air force and was pleasantly surprised. Easily beats out the scarce Bolivian food in NYC. On weekends theres saltenas which are delicious and nostalgic for me. The serving size for the silpancho was very generous as well. 5/5 would come again if I’m ever back in Dayton. ”
