El Nopal - Carnitas dinner near and steak and shrimp. Great service - Mexican Near Me - Shepherdsville, Kentucky

I LOVE THIS PLACE! this place is amazing!!! My grandmother and I are regulars here, we come about two or three times a month and we love it, it's very cheap if you know your way around the menu! The staff and service is fantastic and friendly! You get free refills on salsa and drinks and they have a very open drink option and don't get me started on the mild salsa, it's one of the best things there! The place is very nicely decorated with a very nice Mexican style build and decore, they decorate for almost every holiday! The tv channel options are also me as well and the music they play is very very good! Thanks for making this place amazing!! I recommend so so much read more

El Nopal - Mexican Near Me - Shepherdsville, Kentucky

El nopal location in Shepherdsville right off the expressway exit. Location I have visited on and off for what has at least been ten years or so. El nopal is a very popular and rapidly growing Mexican food establishment that has to have over 20 local locations now. I can remember 15-20 years ago when there was only one and it was a little known establishment. So props to them on growing so much locally. Maybe they can keep branching out. To me personally el nopal food is 5 star all day. Greet few chips and salsa. I love there enchallidas supremas meal and over the years everything I've tasted has been top notch and good. Its really good genuine and cheap Mexican food. So basing off locations alone this one loses a star because they don't have the best service. I have a few friends who live in the Shepherdsville area and when we meet up and they want Mexican this is the best local spot. Compared to the other el nopals I've been to (i wanna say 4-5 different ones on a regular basis) this has the worst service. They are consistently slower and Mess up the orders more then other locations. This location is a decent sized one and offers some patio seating that the other ones don't. So the decor and setup is nice and like the others the food is great! This particular location service skills just aren't up to par with the others. Overall all el nopals are great! I'd recommend anyone who hasn't tried them to give it a shot. As stated cheap, authentic And tasty Mexican food. They have my second local Favorite chips and salsa only behind senior iguanas white sauce. read more

El Nopal is a Louisville treasure and this location did not disappoint. Our server was extremely kind and welcoming, as was the entire staff. We did wait longer than any other El Nopal... and by that I mean literally like 10 minutes max! (How do they always get the food out so fast?!) The food is top tier. Reminds me of the Mexican food that I ate when I lived in Los Angeles. Authentic.. made with love and happiness. Truly people who pride the work that they do. read more

My family loves this place! The server is alway friendly, the food come out fast so we never have to wait long even when they are packed. My favorite thing to get from El'Nopal would be their cheese queso and strawberry margarita. read more

I'm pretty sure EVERY El Nopal Restaurant is good. The customer service is always good. They always have a good amount of customers. Restaurants with a lot of repeat customers tells you what you need to know. Highly recommended. read more

This is always a great Mexican food experience. I really love the atmosphere and the service is fast. They offer big 36 ounce beers for cheap price as well. I usually get the combination number 11, which is one burrito, one taco, and one enchilada. It is so good for $8.99. With all that food and free chips and salsa this is an excellent deal. My whole family loves it here and we will be back soon. OLE! read more

Came here for a bite to eat with friends. First of all the margaritas are delicious and very dangerous. Second for lunch the portions Are on the larger size. Third service was great. despite it being pretty busy for a weekend we were taken care of quickly. Fourth free chips and salsa. I rest my case. I had the steak fajitas for lunch and I had enough food to last me two days and it was delicious. Highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

Service was mediocre and the food wasn't much better. The waiter came fairly often, but never spoke to us aside from taking our order. We waited for quite a while for the check to arrive and it never did. In the end we had to go to the front counter to pay and they seemed surprised that our check hadn't arrived. There was a Zaxby's nearby and honestly I would recommend you go there instead of here. There were good points, but overall, not enough to make it a good experience. read more

Food is amazing. We eat here at least once a week, although sometimes it's takeout if the kids are tired. The staff is very friendly, and always on top of everything. This location is always clean. Has a very big parking lot. They take to go orders over the phone and the wait is never more than 15 mins but usually more like 5-10. read more

The food is consistent here. The prices are reasonable also. There are about 500 Mexican eateries in Shepherdsville and I think this one is the best. read more

The refried beans were a room temperature gray substance resembling partially mixed concrete. The food was lifeless and bland. Just blah.

Oh. My. Apparently, in this portion of the US, you can get every form of fast food ever... OR the most amazing mexican I've ever had. I hit this place with my boss' boss for lunch, and had the Macho Burrito. I hadn't ever heard of a deep fried burrito before, but now that I have... I want every burrito to be deep fried. The server was awesome. Very attentive, considerate, and cute as a button. My glass never went empty, and when it got messy, a stack of napkins appeared as if summoned by magic. This is very much as good as it gets for food down here in The Shep. read more

Great food, great prices, truly fun and legit wait servers. And desserts! Man oh man!

Always have great food, service and the restaurant is very relaxed. We love the frozen daiquiri's.

Bad Service multiple times in a row incorrect food disappointed never eating at this location again.

I like the food. I don't often in the restaurant, I typically pick up my order so we can eat at home (it's easier when you have kids). The portions are generous and the food is always consistently cooked (you get the same quality/ flavors as you expected every time), great when you have picky eaters on your hands. Service is friendly. read more

They ID ME AND ONLY ME OUT OF 8+ adults... there all over 35... guesses the beard don't help but giving beer to someone that looks 20 is fine no ID... enjoy your water and chicken nuggets read more

Came here because of the rating (4stars). Disappointed. Took forever to get the food. We finished our 32oz beer by the time we got our food. The restaurant wasn't busy at all. I asked for a Shirley temple to go and was ignored twice. Burrito carnitas had burnt meat inside of it. I did not finish my food which is very rare that this happens. Will not be coming back. read more

The staff at El Nopal know our little group by name and are super friendly! They have cheap and delicious margaritas and great food - if you like Mexican. I don't, so they always let me order off of the kid's menu or customize an order. And no - if they are speaking Spanish to each other, they aren't talking about you. read more
