    Great enchiladas!

    Great food, excellent service. Food is always hot and fresh. Facilities are the cleanest I've ever seen!

    Great night before Valentine's Day. We got the pork chops dinner special. Two THICK pork chops w/rice and beans, tomatilla sauce, and tortillas (per person).. buy one for $16, other discounted $7. Roughly $12.50 each. SO worth it!!

    Stopped at El Nopal off the beaten path coming home from a weekend at Lake Rudolph. Typical El Nopal experience- quick and reliable Mexican food.

    Typical Mexican restaurant. Quite busy on a Tuesday night around 7:30. We had a few minute wait. I rated a four because I wasn't too impressed, nor was I unimpressed. Chips and salsa. Lots of queso! Tuesday night special... buy one, get one free Gold margaritas. However - you must have them on the rocks. No frozen!

    It's a typical Mexican restaurant nothing notable to one degree or another. I do like that they offer separate small bowls for salsa and they offer a hot along with mild. The menu is to much typical of Mexican restaurant way to many things. I asked the waiter if there was any dinner sampler platters and he was confused did not speak very good English but was polite and mostly attentive. We had four in the group and no complaints on taste or quality or quantity. It was average Mexican cuisine, the dining room was clean and they had extra napkins on the table. I would eat here again staff was friendly and courteous.

    Sometimes you just want to not cook- really anywhere will do, just so you don't have to do it. So…read morethat's what brought us in- close to home, come as you are. The shop is tiny, but trust me- they will be growing and moving to a bigger space! Why? Because the food is just that good! We were so full when we left! Huge portions, great prices, nice attentive service. Everything you ask for when all you really want is to not cook. lol. The arroz con pollo was on special that night and I'm glad I picked it. The chicken was plentiful and cheese was delicious. My husband's burrito was exceptional as well. We will be back- this time on purpose.

    My boyfriend and I went on Saturday evening around 6:30. They weren't very busy and we got a table…read moreright away. Our server was quick and attentive. The chips and salsa were good. I ordered a shredded chicken burrito and he ordered the beef burrito. They came out fairly quickly. My chicken burrito was barely lukewarm. I was expecting something hot. It had very little flavor. His ground beef burrito was similar. Very little flavor. Very little tomato or lettuce on the burritos . As far as the ambience goes, there is none. The lighting is fluorescent lighting on the ceiling and it's just too bright in there. They should consider pendant lighting with some warm lightbulbs to give it more ambience. I don't think we'll be back..
