Best breakfast tacos I've had in New Braunfels!! Great price and great portions. Not like the places that give you more tortilla than anything else. I LOVE the cheese they put in my bean/cheese/bacon breakfast taco. I also love the migas taco! I've had lunch there and it was ok - pretty good, whatever. But the breakfast is MUY DELICIOSO!! Can't wait for tomorrow morning's breakfast tacos! ps - better than Los Gallos (which I thought could NOT be beat)! Los Gallos rocks too - HUGE BREAKFAST TACOS! Nopalito's is the BEST though. read more

I called in my order to pick up and did not get half my order right, and the order that was right, I received little to no portions. Also I was short on my order. I was over charged. I've been going to el nopalito for years and this time y'all screwed up. read more

I accidentally placed my order the day before at the other location, but showed up to this one at 7:30AM and they called the other location for me to cancel so that they could make my order of 30 tacos on the fly and save me another trip in the rain. Awesome customer service! read more

God, I miss coming here Saturday mornings for breakfast tacos before heading to CHS to watch film from the football game the night prior. (Which we more than likely won. Back when the Cougars didn't blow.) Simply said, the service rules, sweet tea rules, & everything on the menu is delicious. (Tacos con tripas ftw!!) read more

Hubby stopped in and grabbed some breakfast tacos for us to go and also stayed and had a little breakfast for himself!! He had the chorizo and eggs with charro beans and he grabbed 2 egg and potato and 2 Migas's tacos to go for us at home. Well he said "2 are vegan and 2 have meat". (Thank goodness he was wrong!) because the "miga's" was supposed to be the meat one and that's what I had. And I LOVED it!! Super good flavors and a little green pepper, potatoes and cheese inside a freshly made tortilla. How do you go wrong? Delicious read more

Right off the Guadalupe river and great/cheap breakfast tacos! Thick homemade tortillas, a drive thru, and several taco options (each under $2). This is the place for breakfast! They come out to get your order so the line moves pretty quick since its all made to order. The salsa is plentiful and the cheese added in is a must! yummm! read more

They have good tacos, just drive thru takes 30 minutes each time. No joke. Even when I call ahead my order.

I constantly hear about how good this place is from co-workers so I finally decided to try it. I get seated pretty much as soon as I walk through the door. They brought me chips and salsa almost immediately and the chips were fresh and crispy. The salsa was ok also. Shortly after, two couples walk in. I ordered and maybe 10-15 later I see the other two couples order as well. I'm patiently waiting for my food and they never ask if I want a refill on my water or if I would like anymore chips. The two couples get their food and here I sit patiently waiting. My patience runs out after about 45 mins when the whole time all the servers and the cashier are sitting next to me rolling silverware and not one of them ever asked if I was ok. I finally decide to tell my server that I can't wait anymore that all I ordered were enchiladas not sword fish. He stated that he didn't know that I hadn't gotten my food but the whole time they were sitting there next to me and never bothered to ask. I hear that this is not typical of the service here and maybe I should give them another shot. I'll consider trying it again in the future but this visit sucked. On the bright side my Jr Bacon cheeseburger from Wendy's on my way back to work was good. read more

Good: 1. Nacho cheese was decent--real cheese melted in place instead of poured on. 2. Iced Tea was good, served in a big foam cup (sorry, environment) 3. Toothpick was good 4. Salsa was pretty yummy Bad: 5. Service was terrible. Nachos took forever. Then once done with those my waiter disappeared for 25 additional minutes before I flagged someone down to get my lunch plate. My waiter literally cleaned half the restaurant while I waited--stacked every chair, mopped, took out trash. Finally after I asked, he (without washing his hands?) delivered my food. But he never checked on me before that, and my plate just sat there warming I guess. 6. The the taste of my lunch really was terrible. My first bite (of beans and rice) was like tasting a salt wall--don't know how else to describe it. Cheese enchilada was barely edible. It wasn't edible actually but I tried. Guacamole looked decent but tasted a 2 out of 10--pasty, not good. Chips are so-so. Beans--not good. Chalupa-gross. I haven't had Mexican food since November and its February. I was craving it. But this place is terrible. read more

Inconsistance in their cooking. Last meal was not good. Ground beef in taco tasted bad so I could not eat it.

Horrible Service these people do not have a clue how to treat anyone. I always paid the same price till the big lady on drive thru made up her own price and told me the menu prices were old and incorrect. I Dont see how when I always paid the same price going there. I asked if prices when up when I noticed a change and she said its always been that price for years. yeah bullshit. She must always be in a bad mood since she is always rolling her eyes. If your eating inside the food took forever to get served. Last visit there roaches in bathroom probably means roaches elsewhere. That will be the last time I step foot here. read more

Stopped here since we were in the area and didn't want a chain restaurant. The horchata tasted like it had gone bad (sour milk) and the food was nothing different than if i had ordered drive thru @ some taco cabana. Maybe the breakfast menu is better but I was underwhelmed by their dinner dishes. read more

The food at this location is generally good. The service however, is ALWAYS hit or miss. Most of the time - it's a miss. The location on business 35 is much better at service. As a local whose been visiting here for 15 years, I've finally had enough. My hubby and son love their food. I usually tolerate the service for them. After today, no more. They don't care if you think their food and service are sub-standard. You get what they feel like dishing out here. Beware! It may be a good day or it may a bad day. For me, it will be a day to go somewhere else. They can depend on tourist money to survive. They won't be getting any more of our money! read more

I visit the El Nopalito on Business 35 so I was truly surprised by how disappointing this was! We ordered the Combo lunch specials. Charro beans were served ice cold. The enchilada sauce was thick and had a weird taste. The same weird taste was in the taco meat and enchilada filling. We left half full plates and left hungry. read more

When it comes to New Braunfels, Mexican Restaurants pop up faster than summer weeds and spread across the town just as fast! This one is located 5 min away from home and people rave about the breakfast tacos and the size (I'm told it's hard to finish two). We stopped by today for lunch. They have a board listing the daily specials that for the most part include rice/beans and a drink. The daily specials today were: Chicken Enchiladas; Carne Guisada; Chiles Rellenos (cheese or meat); all for $5.95!!! You can't beat that now a days! I decided to order CALDO DE REZ and my fiancé went with the CHEESE CHILE RELLENO. My caldo was very well served (ordered the Large portion for $4.95) with carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, cilantro, onions w/ huge beef chunks. My only complain was the beef had portions that were extremely tough and full of muscle tissue. Probably half of the beef served I wasn't even able to chew through :( I'm used to having the beef chunks fall apart at the touch of my spoon! According to my fiancé, his dish was good. Not amazing or great, just good. read more

El Nopalito - Caldo de Rez! 01/11/2011 - Mexican Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

Took 25 minutes to get ONE taco in the drive thru window. There were only two cars ahead of me. This is not the first time. The service has been very slow. Decent food. Expect delays!! read more

This was recommended to us by a friend, I would say what a disappointment , I ordered the Jalapeno Poppers, and the Chile Relleno plate, to be honest food tasted like it was pored out a can and microwaved. Same sauce for every meal, seems very lazy to me. Very disappointed. Do not recommend. If they had an option for no stars I would pick that. read more

This place needs some help. The touists keep it alive but the food is just cheap quality. They use cheap rat cheese for enchiladas. Some like that sharp taste but I hate it because its just cheap. The chips and salsa is cheap. The fresh tortillas are good. The carne guisada is decent so roll with that. read more

I would of given more stars except the last time I got tacos there I got sick. Tortillas aren't fresh like the use to be, eggs are runny now. I have seen posts about other concerns but won't post because I didn't experience first hand. read more

I have been going here for over a decade. It is not fancy n no not best service but hey the food is good n cheap. Puffy tacos are DELICIOUS!!!! So don't expect fancy but do expect good food n good prices. The chilaquiles are so good in AM. So stop whining n eat a taco. read more

Best breakfast tacos in the area, hands down! It's clean, the staff is awesome, the food is delicious and they even have a drive-through if you're in a hurry. What more could you ask for? Wonderful! read more

WARNING: Found a piece of wire in my Barbacoa taco today. I spoke with the manager and she promised me that she would talk with her dish washers about it. Not that they were going to toss out the batch, but that she would talk to the dish washer. Guess we know where the priorities lie. We have been going to La Napalito since we got here 2 and a half years ago. Never again. read more

If I could give half a star I would... I am glad they are hiring more English speaking waiters now (lived in NB way before they expanded the original location) but they still have idiots that work the back of the house. They screwed up my order twice ... And simply because they didn't read the perfectly wrote out ticket. I have many sensitivities and I make sure to order clearly as to make it easy for the kitchen. I never go here unless I have to w my mom. I wish I could go here, but if u have modifications to ur meal then don't go here!! They will take forever w if food and screw it up too. read more

Very disappointed with el napolito today! Woke up craving a Sunday Menudo with some breakfast tacos, so I call in to order ahead and send my hubby to pick it up, granted we live at least 15- 20 min away with traffic could be worse. My hubby gets there and confirms with the employe if everything we ordered was in there, and sure enough the employe said yes! Oh boy this is where the nightmare started... Hubby got home, I was super excited to taste my large menudo with my corn tortillas lime onion and cilantro... I open it up and it's not my menudo, it's some beef soup that was disgusting... I'm looking for my corn tortillas and it turns out to be flower yuck! My hubby is looking for his ham egg and cheese taco and it's bacon and egg... My son is looking for his loaded breakfast taco and it's potatoes and egg... Oh and my cilantro, onion and limes were not even in the bag... I completely had lost my appetite ate that point and decided I will never ever go back there again! Extremely disappointed that they could screw up a complete order so bad! El napalito you lost our families business, this was completely unexceptable.. I hope you hire thorough ppl so you don't lose out on business like this.. Not to mention the women who took my order over the phone was extremely rude and rushing to get my order..( not good ) read more

This was our 3rd visit. The first meal was really good. A couple months later, it was "good". We went again last week for lunch....my husband ordered a beer, it was forgotten at first, but then with a reminder it arrived, but not very chilled. We ordered carnitas plate and every piece of meat had fat on it, and the meat was more sliced, than chunked like usual. We were not pleased. Then before we left, wanted to use restroom and the women's was closed, my husband said the men's was attrocious in all respects. Bugs, toilet and urinal gross, and generally not clean. We will not be returning! read more

Inexpensive with big portions. You might consider sharing a plate and just ordering queso so you can dip your homemade tortillas.

DRIVE THRU STILL DOES NOT WORK AT BUSINESS 35 location!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This blows me away! Why have a drive thru??????????????? Best bean and cheese tacos in town, but after 3-4 years of the drive thru not working, guess I'll drive on down the street to Adobe Cafe! Kicking myself for going back! read more

We eat here all the time. There are some staples that I LOVE. Green chicken enchiladas, migas, juevos rancheros, breakfast tacos, pancakes..their Tea :). Some things I have gotten and they aren't amazing, but this place has delicious food for cheap. I've probably eaten here 100+ times and the food for the price, keeps us coming back read more

Was very disappointed . The cheese on the miga's was burnt and had no flavor . There are other Mexican places I will try

Had breakfast tacos and sweet tea , both pretty tasty and priced like bill millers but doesn't beat Hannah's

My boyfriend and I ate here on our way into San Antonio for the night. The service was fair, but we would probably come back for the food. Not only did it come out of the kitchen super quickly, there wasn't a single thing on our plates that we disliked. He has a chicken quesadilla which was juicy, cheesy, and wrapped in a really nice flour tortilla. I had a tamale-which was fantastic- and a cheese enchilada which was also very good. The atmosphere definitely fit the small town. Overall, don't pass this place up if you happen to be close by. read more

Seriously, the best hangover food in all of New Braunfels. Everything on the menu is delish. Most people get breakfast tacos in the morning (and that's great) but I suggest the biscuits & gravy plate. The portions are huge! I stop by several times a week on my way to work and am rarely disappointed. Don't use the drive-thru, it's faster and easier to just go inside. read more

Nice restaurant traditional Mexican food clean friendly staff long wait to take order long wait for food to arrive. I had the Menudo it was not traditional tasting Menudo it had a sweet flavor almost like tomato sauce There was even a piece ham hock. My husband had Mima's and my son had potato and eggs they were good. read more

5 STARS because of the cheese enchiladas. We have ate at almost every Mexican restaurant in New Braunfels and discovered this place has the best. The Carne Gasada was good to. Been back several times and will continue to do so. We have not had any other menu items though to review. But CHEESE ENCHLADAS, this is your place. read more

Have the breakfast tacos and a side of refried beans, you'll leave fat and happy.

Don't eat the Carne guisada it was the worst it was nasty our waitress had an attitude when we told her about it and management did not try to make it right. read more

Great breakfast taco and the rice was best I've had! Recommend! Price is right!

This is the best tex-mex I've found in New Braunfels. If you're looking for gringo Mexican food though, this is not your place. My favorite is the enchiladas and crane asada. They have great hamburgers as well! read more

This place is pretty good for the money. They make really good homemade corn tortillers! They are plenty large so you could easily fill up on one or two. The flour tortilla are pretty good too. Not the best but def not the worst. I would recommend the carne G with cheese. My kids favs are egg potato with bacon. They inhale them:) read more

We used to love this place and service was pretty good as was the food. Came yesterday (drive thru) and it took almost 20 minutes for 1 fajita plate. They also (in some cases) dramatically changed the menu prices. This usually isn't a huge problem but the drive thru menu still says the old prices. After I got my check I was surprised it went up by almost 3 dollars! Really need to change drive thru menu to update prices. Food was pretty good but, wouldn't wait 20 minutes for a drive thru. Understand if they cannot deliver food fast as it is a sit down restaurant but then don't have a drive thru. read more
