For a restaurant of this location, building and menu, they should absolutely be killing it. But not with the service that's being provided. We felt unwelcome. We came in at 11:06am on a Saturday. No one was there at the hostess stand. We walked in, there were 2 tables of 1 diner each (one inside, one outside). A waitress came around the corner and in a challenging tone said, "How can I help you?!??!" It was as if we weren't supposed to let ourselves in. "We'd like to eat lunch" Again, tone, "We're not serving lunch. We serve breakfast til noon." "Then we'd like to eat lunch" "Sit wherever you'd like" What happened the next 39 minutes was not what anyone would expect out of a small town diner/mexican spot with the CUTEST venue possible. No eye contact. No pleasantries. No refills on water or iced tea (the male patron's coffee was refilled by the other server). When asked for sweetener for the iced tea, not only did she say she thought they were out of all sweetener because of the breakfast rush, she visibly slumped her back, dropped her head, sighed and trudged off. When asked for ketchup for the homestyle potatoes (there are no ketchup bottles out), the same behavior to go and retrieve a disposable ramekin of ketchup. The oddest thing was that there were 2 servers and only 4 patrons. We were never checked on by our server, the younger of the two. The other tables were touched on once each by the other server over the 39 minutes we were there. When a male bar patron came in during our last 10 minutes, he was treated with exuberant hospitality and attention. The restaurant is spotlessly clean, except for the half eaten breakfast plate that was left out on the hostess stand. The food was quick, delicious and reasonably priced.

I tried the chicken burger. I asked if it was a chicken breast and I was told it was fried. The…read morebreading was nonexistent and the chicken was rubbery. The buffalo sauce I had on the side, thank goodness was spicy, you could smell how spicy it was. This was not a chicken breast. It was something frozen and there was very little taste and it was so thin it was ridiculous. It was not a chicken breast. Their fries were seasoned and hot. When I sat down, they gave free chips and it seemed to be a homemade salsa which was pretty good but watery. The service was adequate, but I had to ask my waitress to please come over. The venue is excellent. The location is fantastic. Unfortunately I left unimpressed with the food. To cap it all off they charge me for my glass of coke. Interesting way to cap off my meal. Oh well, I would come back for the ambience, but not for the food.

Ordered a side of guacamole and it was sour. They took it off my check. I should have just left then. Enchiladas were on special. Great. Love those. Got em with a side of raw onion. Sautéed onion came on the side. Asked for check and wrote this review. I don't understand. If you come here for lunch, it is just awesome (minus the complimentary flour queso). Salsa sucks too but the food is usually so good and the service friendly. Not so much tonight. Won't be going back.

My wife also got a margarita, and I think it was the large or cadillac or something because it was MASSIVE and pretty decent tasting! The service was bordering on non existent. It was pretty busy when we got there, but then we ended up being the only ones there and still couldn't get wait staff to give us the time of day. At one point we had to walk inside to get a server. As for eating on the patio, there was a bunch of trash just blowing around, napkins, cups, etc. I felt like helping clean it up, but the staff didn't care. I'm hoping they had an off day. I'll probably go back if I'm in the area, but I'm not making a special trip out of it. Hopefully your service is better than ours was.

The restaurant is cute, and we were seated immediately as there weren't many people there. I ordered Asada Fries, which were fresh and filling. The flavors were on point, though the ingredients themselves (including the steak fries) were a little less traditional. Definitely something different. Service was quick and friendly.

Taqueria El Nopal -- Glenwood Springs, CO…read more If you're looking for authentic Mexican food where the locals actually eat, put Taqueria El Nopal on your list. This is definitely off the tourist path, and when we walked in on a Tuesday, the restaurant was filled with locals, always a good sign. It's tucked into a strip mall, but don't let that fool you. Inside, it's colorful, casual, and full of character, with beautiful original artwork painted on the benches and tables. You order at the counter, and we happened to visit on Tuesday, when fajitas were the special. The portion was generous, and they were absolutely delicious. My daughter had the quesadillas, my son ordered the steak platter, and everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and very well prepared. The only thing I wasn't particularly impressed with was the salsa bar. But honestly, that was a small downside compared with how good everything else was. This is exactly the kind of unassuming, hole-in-the-wall local restaurant I love discovering, authentic food, lots of personality, generous portions, and a place where the community actually goes to eat. If you're visiting Glenwood Springs, skip some of the touristy spots and make a stop at Taqueria El Nopal. Definitely worth seeking out! It's on the pricy side because for the three of us with no alcohol it was $90.
