This place is still the best! Faster service than all the fast food joints so sit down, have a beer or margarita and your food will be up quick! I love the hot salsa! Its better than you can buy in any store. Give them a try if you are coming to Corydon. If you like Mexican food, I don't think you will be disappointed. read more

El Nopalito - Just a view of the inside. This place is hopping on Mondays! - Mexican Near Me - Corydon, Indiana

Caldo de pollo.... Chicken soup. Simply authentic and bursting with flavors. Get this, it is full of rice, chicken, avocados, Pico etc.... The broth itself is delicious..... read more

HUGE servings -- my hubby and I usually split one entree and we both end up stuffed. El Nopalito has THE BEST margaritas in town; but watch out... they'll kick your butt! I never order the steak meals. In my experience, beef fajitas, carne asada and the like, are usually made from round steak, which is tough if it's not slow-cooked. Go with the chicken instead. This place is packed most evenings. Here's a dining-out tip for you... you won't go wrong if you eat someplace where the parking lot is full! The locals know what's good! read more

Stopped here for lunch on our way to the Indiana Caverns. Very glad we did! The tortilla chips were still warm and the 2 salsa were excellent! My husband got a HUGE lunch portion of shrimp fajitas that was probably enough for 2. I got the fried chimichanga and it was smothered in queso. The guacamole was FRESH and the lime was quite tart. Our girls had the kids enchiladas and quesadilla and both agreed they were tasty and hot! One plus I was very thankful for was they brought the kids meals our before ours so they could nosh before they got crabby. read more

El Nopalito - Fried chicken chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Corydon, Indiana

See all

Fast and friendly. If you have an itch for Mexican food look no further. A Corydon mainstay now for for 25+ years there is a reason for their longevity. Quality food, delivered fast and hot at an affordable price. Gotta get some classic lime and frozen strawberry margaritas and bring a DD because they treat you right! For food you can't go wrong, pick what you like and it will come out right off the grill and delicious. My personal favorites are the combo fajitas, chicken chimichangas and fajita tacos. read more

They have excellent Mexican food! I love the shrimp quesadilla and the taquitos. Oh and the queso! You cannot go and not get the queso! I prefer this place to El Nopal on by Burger King because it really seems like this place takes a little extra time to make the food really good where el Nopal rushes. read more

I've come here since I was a kid. For many years we went to the El Nopal in Georgetown, simply because it was closer. Now that we are closer to El Nopalito, it has become our go-to Mexican restaurant. Honestly, I prefer this restaurant over the El Nopal locations. Although the salsa doesn't come in the jars that can refill a bowl or two, I prefer their hot salsa over the other locations. The queso and chips are always a favorite. You can't go wrong with fajitas, combinations, carnitas, Monica's platter, pollo con arroz, and many other dishes. I have a had a few occasions where the chips were a bit overcooked, and I'm not a big fan of their shrimp (tastes a little extra fishy to me, maybe frozen). Sure, it might not be totally "authentic" in some respects, but most ethnic restaurants have a bit of American flare to them anyway. There is something nostalgic about coming here that takes me back to my childhood, and that is always special. read more

Went tonight after reading some reviews. It's always good to try new as everyone's taste is different. Anyway I had a combo plate with tamale, enchilada , beans & rice. The beans were very good as was the tamale , thought I found the cornmeal very thick. The enchilada seemed to be acorn tortilla with cheese ( I did ask for a cheese enchilada) The rice ok. My husband had a combo with a chili reallano . He said the batter was so heavy on the chili he could not taste the chili and there was a lot of cheese in it. Won't be back as there is another local place we've been to on multiple occasions & found that our favorites are better there. read more

We have been to other El Nopals in the area and this is by far our favorite. Service is exceptional and very fast. Food is hot, tasty, and reasonably priced. A lot of the dishes are large enough to split especially if you eat a lot of chips. We love this place. It always hits the spot. read more

Got the chicken nachos and it was loaded with chicken. Glad we split it. Very tasty. Fast and great service. Very accommodating. Will be back. read more

Our group stopped in after a 4 day backpacking trip in nearby O'Bannon woods state park. I ordered the carnitas and was blown away. The meat was tender and the portion was large. The sauce on the side was delicious and made the whole meal come together. Others in the group enjoyed their meals too. I will def come back again if I'm in the area. read more

This mexican resteraunt is one of the better restaraunts we have tried. Their portions are large and food has good flavor. My wife and I normally share a fajita for one. read more

I made the mistake of getting an order to go. Was a grease pit and they did not add the cheese sauce.

Great local business, the service is great. The food is consistently good and margaritas/drinks priced at good value.

This is my go to mexican restraunt in Corydon! Service is amazing!! Food is delicious! Margaritas are great!

Found this place while driving from Louisville to nowheresville, IN. Killer carne asada tacos. Clean. Friendly place. Definitely recommend this if you want a good meal. read more

This place is great! But it can sometimes get way too crowded on nights that everyone in town wants a margarita. However, the service is always great! Their salsa is delicious. They have the best fajitas...never to greasy and very generous portions. The pricing is the same as other Mexican restaurants in the area. Their chips are also always fresh and crispy. read more

One of the best Mexican places I've been to in some time. I had carnitas burrito and it was great, portions were large and service prompt. If we're in the area again I will definitely be back. read more

Food was ok. kids of owners running up and down the aisle. Margarita was really good, I would go for the drinks, boy so much the food or atmosphere! read more

If the world were ending,I'd spend my last 5 minutes here drinking a margarita. Best in town!

Really good food. The table had queso, salsas, chips, tacos, enchiladas, and burrito. All good and less than $20- ala cart

Very good Mexican restaurant. My wife and kids really like what they had, enchiladas, tacos, etc. I had the whole tilapia pan fried head to tail and it was delicious. It came with fantastic homemade salsas that were to die for. Will return the next time I'm in the neighborhood! read more

Good Food, Authentic Mexican, Large Portions Curiously strong Margaritas.

Never disappointed with El Nopalito. Huge portions and reasonable prices. Also goes out of their way to care for our large group. Could not ask for a better experience or food. read more

It is good but I feel like if you've ate at one of these places you've ate at them all. It can get a bit crowded at times, but it still is a nice place to go and put back some drinks read more

Very tasty food. Super quick service. Staff is always friendly. Never had a bad meal here. Recommend the Monica's platter.

My husband would eat here every day if I'd let him. I would come everyday for the Margaritas...... frozen raspberry is the best. Their margaritas are the best I've had anywhere, and I am not exaggerating. They don't taste like a 'mix', they're not chalky or watery and they're just the right strength (strong). ha The food is lightening fast- we're normally served in less than 10 minutes and the order is always right. These guys and gals bust their butts, remember to tip them well!! read more

Never had bad food here always great and the prices are good love thier Fajitas tacos and the Monicas platter.

We stopped in for lunch while in Corydon on business. It was a chilly afternoon, so I had the tortilla soup. Wow! It was a huge bowl, with tons of shredded chicken breast in a tomato based broth. Delicious and hearty! My partner had the chicken fajitas. They were served on a sizzling platter and would have been enough for two people. Again, delicious! We will definitely be back! read more

Food is always great, service is always good! You always have plenty left over for some the next day. Portions are generous.

This place was a pleasant surprise as I passed through Corydon for work. Recommended by an attendant at Fivestar, I would definitely pass on the recommendation myself. Chicken fajita lunch portion was more than enough for a reasonable price. Check it out for yourself! read more

Decor is not much to talk about, but service is fast, serving size is huge (way too much), and the food is great tasting. Probably the best Mexican food in this area. read more

Good food, and fast, friendly service. Hot salsa was a little too hot for me, but I can be a sissy at times, and the mild salsa was a little weak, but the quest dip was fantastic. Freshly cooked chips. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants! I have never been at a restaurant with better Mexican food, and I like Mexican. The place is always busy but the service is very fast. I had the burritos deluxe tonight and it was awesome. I have been coming for years and will continue to do so whenever I am craving Mexican. read more

Always love El Nop. My favorite is the chicken quesadilla topped with white queso. Good food, good service
