Taqueria el Nopal is one of my favorite restaurants in town (I live in Glenwood). You order at the…read morecounter and they bring you your food. It's not fast food, but quicker than a sit-down restaurant. Also convenient if you have kids in tow. The tacos, of course, are amazing, but my favorite thing to order is Pupusas. Both are very affordable too. I also highly recommend their catering. We ordered tacos for my daughter's graduation party, and it was a very easy process. Ishmael was helpful in figuring out how much to order, etc. Pickup was easy. Our guests raved about how good everything was! And we had plenty of food. They don't provide chafing dishes but things stayed warm for the amount of time we needed them to. I will definitely order for a party again!

My wife and I decided to give this place a shot. Heard good things about it…read more Gotta say that we were pretty disappointed. Hostess was non existent and had to wave someone down to be sat. Appetizers- Guac and cheese dip seemed like it was out of a can and Salsa was actually their hot sauce for their tacos. I had the Molcajete which should come out sizzling hot and it was warm at best. Overall, the food was uninspiring and basic. Our server was nice but inexperienced and we never saw her again once she dropped the food off. Not gonna lie. I was bummed with the whole experience but this being a local place, I hope they fix things there because we want them to succeed. We will give it time and try it again, eventually but there's work to be done, for sure!

The person that took my order was very nice and the food came out super fast. I ordered a Carne Asada burrito which came with lettuce, avocado, beans, cheese, a side of three salsas, along with a blistered pepper for $13.00 The burrito was a good size and the salsas all added a different flavor. The meat was freshly cooked but could have used a little more seasoning and some lime to really set it off. Overall, a good dinner to end a long day of travel.

The menu offers Salvadoran and Mexican cuisine with a whole page dedicated to seafood options. The service was spectacular throughout with attentive staff. Our waitress was Jenny and she was great. My wife had the cheese enchiladas and I tried the large combination with ground beef taco, relleno (soft) and chimichanga (Christmas style with red and green sauce) The plates they serve your food on are huge and both our meals came with rice and beans (so tasty) My combo came with a side of spicy sauce (homemade for certain) I also had a Michelada which is served in a large mug and your choice of beer. I opted for Tecate. Very good and extremely reasonable at $10 Would definitely recommend and come back.

I am normally a red sauce eater but the green (probably the weak Sendy) was really good. Not spicy but full of flavor. Service was excellent again. 1st visit: I've been in Colorado for nearly two weeks and this has probably been the best meal I've had so far, even after dining in Aspen (Clark's, Aspen Public House) and Boulder (Flagstaff, the Kitchen American Bistro). I love chorizo tacos and the ones here served with potatoes and fried egg with a side of chips and salsa was one of the best I've ever had and I think that's says a lot after living a lifetime in Texas. The hot dog was flavorful and probably a foot long. It was served with lightly salted french fries that reminded me if the ones my mom used to make me. The Bloody Mary was also very good and slightly spicy although it was only garnished with a lime and no olives. The place is very small, seats maybe a couple of dozen indoors but there is also outdoor seating. Service was very friendly.
