    Chile Relleno plate
    Angie A.

    So I was starving for some chili rellenos and came across this spot. They had some good reviews and quick delivery. The food was still hot when I received it and super tasty. I rarely enjoy red salsa but there's had a meaty, smoky flavor that was so darn good. The green salsas were also amazing with the freshest chips ever. Now the food was exactly what I wanted. The cheese and fry on the pepper was amazing. Definitely eating in next time for the full experience.

    Inexpensive good Mexican restaurant with Nopales (cactus), daily menudo and fresh fried chille reano. Not soggy made from day prior. Nice family owned and shall return.

    Best Rolled Taquitos Combo Plate
    Rae R.

    Definitely recommend this mexican spot. Their taquitos are one of the best i've had. They also give you free chips and salsa while waiting for your meal. Staff is nice and restaurant is always clean.

    Melted plastic from the toothpicks.

    Probably not a good idea to use wood frill toothpicks to fry your taquitos. I had to remove all these plastic fragments from my taquitos that had melted into my food. I showed 2 female workers who were very nonchalant. They offered to remake the order. Guess what I found in the remade order!

    Horrible customer services I was so excited to enjoy my meal because it looked good but the food was very nasty I totally don't recommend it.

    Shredded beef nachos. Delicious!

    I order lunch from this restaurant in a regular basis. It's the go-to restaurant for all of my coworkers. The food is always delicious and the service is great. No complaints, ever. Ambiance is pretty cool too, nothing special.

    We love El Nopal at this location on Decatur. We had the Shredded Beef Burrito Wet Style, and it was huge. The food is authentic, and it is delicious. The staff is always welcoming. Today, Grace served us and she was friendly and courteous. They keep the restaurant clean, and we always have a good experience here. Thank you!

    Finally, we found a great place with excellent food and service. We went there for lunch today and we were pleasantly surprised. I had the beef enchiladas with beans and rice. Hubby had the tamales! It's been quite awhile since we had such a good Mexican meal!

    Everything shredded beef wet burrito
    Joyce W.

    If you like cilantro, diced onions and some spice. Get in here! Friendly cashier ladies. 4 Mexican beers available. In and outdoor seating. May look simple from outside, but the spice and ingredients inside is fantastic. Salsa bar has a bunch of salsas and pickled carrots. I thought the creamy green sauce was the hottest and the best. Mr. Bland enjoyed everything about the beef stew/soup. All day on the stove full flavor. No bones in the delicious non fatty meat chunks. Nice chunks of big veggies. Onions and lots of cilantro on the side. Not spicy/hot. My red and green wet shredded beef burrito was my personal preference dream of a burrito. I asked for "everything". I also added more pico and the splashes of salsa from the bar. Burrito was filled with everything and evenly filled throughout. My nose was happily running with that elusive warming sensation and satisfying rush of satisfaction.

    Is there any entree that is gluten free here? Does this restaurant use a shared fryer for things like flour taquitos that would cross contaminate gluten free corn tortilla chips? I have Celiac disease and have to eat gluten free.

I had the mahi mahi tacos and they were too much for me, in part because they came with three sides, all delicious. My husband had the carne asada quesadilla and enough left over for lunch tomorrow. I tried the lime margarita, also excellent, and we couldn't leave without trying the churros for dessert. The ambience is lovely, with gorgeous decor, comfortable booths, and an excellent Hispanic music playlist. This is our new favorite Mexican restaurant. Big shoutout to our server, Brandy, who knew just when to replace the lemonade, and suggested the excellent street corn. We will be back very soon!

I really like the interior decor which is like a very contemporary and upscale Mexican. They have a variety of table and booth seating and a large bar. Our server, Hunter, was very friendly and attentive. He always ended every interaction with "have fun!" I tried the "el corazon" sangria which was delicious! It had a wonderful, warm flavor with a light hint of cinnamon yet it was still cold and refreshing! A cool tip - each drink comes with a little card with a symbol on it and the drink ingredients. Save this card! At each table is a game board of sorts that offers various prizes as you match the cards on the game board sort of like bingo. We really enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa, and we tried the traditional guacamole with vegetables as well. The guacamole was wonderfully cool and creamy and flavorful. For my entree, I tried the chicken fajitas which is served on a steaming platter with various accompaniments. This was also very delicious, and the chicken was quite flavorful and juicy. A small side note - it was served with a cous cous of sort, but I think I would've preferred a simple Spanish rice. The chicken portion size also seemed a bit smaller than when we get fajitas at Chili's. I would recommend you get double meat if you want to share. We decided to try the chocolate flan and the fried ice cream sundae for dessert. I preferred the flavor of the flan and the unique textures of the flan which had the jiggly caramel flan part on top of a more cake like chocolate part below. I honestly think the fried ice cream was not too good. It did not taste freshly fried, and the coating was very dry and brittle and hard to eat. I prefer the places that serve the fried ice cream warm with a very bubbly crust that is both crunchy outside and a bit soft inside. This was not that. Overall, though, we really enjoyed the dining experience here! We will probably return and try their weekday "Fajitas and Ritas" special! I recommend Hola!

Perfect for a romantic date, business dinner or celebrating something. Food is Mexican upscale an very exquisite. They have original drinks and each dish is beautifully decorated. We ordered a Matcha Martini (can't even describe how good it was). For food we had the Crispy Calamari and Chicken Enchiladas. Perfect for sharing, delicate and it is a explosion of flavors in your mouth. Service is so outstanding, Mariah and Jesus were our servers. You get assigned two servers even being a party of two. Since entering the restaurant we were treated like VIP and everyone said Happy Anniversary to us. They had even read our special instructions of dietary restrictions (gluten and dairy free). At the end of our dining experience the Chef sent us a Dairy Free, Gluten free and Vegan dessert on the house to celebrate oour special day. It was such the perfect touch to end our dining experience. It was our first time here, we will definitely come back and reserve for a later time since the only thing we missed were the performers because they show up later at night.
