Haven't tried Nop 2 or Nop 3 but the original Nop on the loop is Nop-tastic. Never been disappointed here . Food us consistently excellent. Great flavor great prices. Have gotten the Parrillada for 4 on numerous occasions. Awesome tasting with chicken, beef, sausage, and shrimp and all the sides for $30. Definitely enough for 4. Anytime is Nop:30 in my book!!!! read more

Horrible. Been tryin to give them a chance because theyre usually not bad, just small...but today tasted like they were cooked with old grease..especially the bean and cheese. Never tasted like that before. Tjis was at th business 35 location. And the last time we went to the original location to have dinner, the chips were grease soaked and stale, and the food tasted like it came out of the freezer. I usually dont do bad revoews, but for people who want good Mexican foid in nb, its always been El nops, but theyve gone downhill, big time, sadly. read more

Great service! We came here because the service and food at the location on business 35 has gone south. Glad to see this location is still good. read more

They have the best tortilla soup, possibly in NB. Very flavorful and delicious. I've also had breakfast tacos here and they did not disappoint!! I love that I live nearby. read more

Amazing. They did it. Cheese whiz, canned beans and essence of Taco Bell hot sauce took me back to a gastronomical abyss that should be banned by all but dorm rooms and Gitmo. Seriously, this was the worst Mexican food I've had and in the 47 states I've had Mexican food. The only way it could have been worse is with powdered eggs. Migas don't swim in cheese whiz. Canned refried beans is not a culinary goal. The salsa for the chips, well it was crap too but amazingly I have had worse... In Canada... So they did get a single star for beating the Canadians salsa. read more

I went here with seven others on a late Sunday afternoon. The restaurant's exterior isn't flashy like the chain restaurants and the interior doesn't have much going for it either. I hate flourescent lighting! But there was Mexican music playing! Love it. We were seated quickly and had placed our drinks order within minutes. They don't have a liquor license and so skip the wine margarita! The food came out quickly. I had the carne asada. The meat was rather tough but I didn't have high expectations for the quality of food. Yes it was good but if you're only paying $7.50 for carne asada you should not expect the best quality cut of beef. The rice and tortillas were all good. Service was very friendly. For eight of us the price of the meal was under $100. You can't beat that price. We would have paid twice that at a chain restaurant. We will return. read more

Absolutely horrible. Sat for over 30 minutes with no one to wait on our family. Only two servers for the whole place. I felt so bad for the ladies. I know they were working their butts off so my irritation is not with them but with the management staff who seemed to poorly staff a Sunday morning. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! They have the best Mexican food in New Braunfels! I love all their staff too. I have been coming here so long they all know me by name! I just wish that they could either make the tortillas calorie free being that they are so good and I want to eat all of them! read more

Tough chewy nasty carne guisada. Every time , all the time. Gross chewy meat. Huge chunky nasty carne guisada. It is supposed to be fork tender. read more

Went there today and had the beef chipotle enchalades,asked the waiter if the special was beef or chicken she said either.....went to pay and the guy at the register said it was only chicken, I informed him the waitress told me otherwise he then pointed at a board that said no substitution's....I pointed at the board that showed Chipotle enchiladas (not chicken specific). His response was sorry then turned to another customer. Im there all the time, anyone know a spot where the appreciate your business? read more

this place is either a hit or a miss. your experience coming here really depends on the staffs mood. the food is almost going to be good. there has been one time when I ordered the barbacoa plate and half of it was fat. I mentioned it to the manager and they comped the entire plate off. so that was pretty sweet. the staff is normally pretty rude though. every time I call them to order my food in advance the staff never says hello or anything polite. normally it's "el nopalito, what do you want". if you go inside to eat expect to wait awhile because the wait staff is normally slow. a couple months ago the owners son made fun of a couples retarded son. they did make a formal apology about it but still pretty bad. but like I said, they food is normally awesome. read more

My wife and I have been coming to this restaurant since before we moved to new Braunfels. It is by far the go to place for breakfast tacos. The nopal is absolutely delicious. It rivals any other Mexican restaurants in the state of Texas. If you're looking for authentic TexMex this is the place! Enjoy! read more

I'm a regular at this place for breakfast. I've had most of what they offer on the breakfast menu, and it's all been very good. My usual is two breakfast tacos with Potato, egg and bacon. They place a single large crispy piece of bacon in each taco, and they are truly delicious. Fast courteous service makes this a welcome place to visit several mornings per week for me... read more

Food was amazing. Definitely home made. Super tacos are huge and well served. All ingredients were tasty. Pancakes were fluffy. Service was quick and music was awesome too. read more

So at 7:57 pm on Monday April 16 my girlfriend placed a dinner phone order for pickup. She spoke to a female employee that obviously didn't know how to take an order judging by her confused responses. It took 10 minutes to complete the order of two meals. I arrived at 8:20 to pick it up. The male store manager told me there was not an order placed and that we must have called the wrong store. I called my girlfriend and she called back the same number she dialed originally. The male manager was speaking with her on the phone as I was standing near the entrance. As he was telling her the same nonsense he told me, a female employee told me they were closed. The male manager told my girlfriend the same. "We're closed now" he said. He offered no solution , no explanation and no apology. Nor did he attempt to ask employees if anyone took an order. Mind you, their closing time is not 8:30pm. I think the collective IQ of the employees at this restaurant is near that of a mentally challenged toddler. I can only imagine what goes on in the kitchen if the front of the house staff is so utterly inept. I'll never go back for fear of losing brain cells during any attempt to communicate with these morons. read more

We arrived in New Braunfels late Friday evening and had some difficulty finding a mexican restaurant to sit down to have some dinner. We wanted to stay away from the franchise type restaurant and finally decided we would give this place a try. Place from the outside looks like an old diner/truckstop restaurant. Not much to it. The place serves both Mexican and American food which brought hesitation due to the old saying of "jack of all trades, but master of none". Their prices are quite inexpensive. In my opinion they are a $1 or $2 below most conventional prices. The place is roomy and the customer and wait staff is quite attentive. As with most Mexican restaurants, they initially brought out a fresh bowl of chips and red salsa. The salsa was tasty and had a slight kick. Please keep in mind that I eat fresh jalepenos almost daily. I would rank their salsa a 3 out of 10 in hotness. I ordered the 3 fish taco plate which came accompanied with charro beans, rice, and lettuce/guacamole/sour cream to garnish the tacos with. Fish tacos were just ok. I've had better at quite a few other places. My wife ordered the chicharrones (pork rinds) plate. They have them available in crunchy or soft. My wife ordered them crunchy and they were supposed to come out in a green tomatillo sauce however were brought to her plain. She requested the tomatillo sauce which she poured over them. Her plate also came with beans and rice and flour tortillas. My wife was nice enough to share some of her chicharrones with me which I prepared in a taco format and I would have to admit I was quite surprised. They were great! Nice flavor, not to hard, not to soft but just enough to add some texture. The green tomatillo sauce was good as well. I decided to undo one of my fish tacos and fill in my corn tortilla with more of the chicharrones for a seconding helping, this of course with my wife's permission. I should have ordered the chicharrones plate instead. Overall I was quite pleased with the place. Would I go back? Sure why not. read more

We asked front desk person at our hotel where do the locals go for Mexican food for breakfast. He suggested Los Nopalitos. Great idea. Good portions. Fast and friendly service. If you like carne guisada you can get it for breakfast with eggs and refried beans. Excellent! Homemade flour tortillas...AND homemade corn tortillas...you dont see that in many places. Kids didn't want eggs so they got chicken quesadillas...packed with chicken and lots of gooey cheese. we will definitely go back next time we are in New Braunfels read more

First time here and I loved it! Generous portions and good chips and salsa. Prices are generally inexpensive. Service isn't what you would expect from a chain but for a mom and pop joint it was good enough. read more

Real Mexican Food. I eat the #2 enchiladas and they are the best I have eaten in this town. Nice cheese. yummy. Better than Adobe in my opinion. read more

My family loves to eat here! It's fast, good and reasonably priced. The only place we go in NB for mexican food :)

I love the food here and that is the only reason I keep going back again and again. However, if you order to go you had better check the order before you drive away. The last 4 times they have not gotten it right yet. Tonight I told them that they had forgotten my hot sauce the last time I was there, could they please make sure to put some in the order. Lucky for me I checked as they handed it to me and they still did not put hot sauce in my order. Also, don't go there in any kind of a hurry, because the waitresses take their ever loving time to come and wait on you. Then when you get ready to pay out the cashiers are about as pleasant as a rabid dog. No smile, no thank you, just hand you your change and turn away and start talking to some of the other employees. This is especially try at the new El Nopalito #2. Like I said, their food is wonderful, but make sure to check your orders, because they can not get it right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more
