This is a place for comfort food. It may not be the best Mexican food, but it's where you want to go after a rough day at work to drown in queso and margaritas. Portions are huge but presentation and texture of food can be rough. I like the texture of the queso; it's not too watery. The house salsa is nice and smoky. Nice seating and decor inside. Tip: you get a small discount if you pay with cash. read more

Awesome! Service is great and food was great! Chorizo con queso was a little cold but a lot of meat. Very very good! Ambiance is laid back. Chill. Kinda divey. Cute place. read more

Sadly, this place missed the mark on almost all aspects for me. We decided to visit on a Sunday for dinner and were encouraged by the relatively positive reviews. Upon being seated, it quickly became apparent the service was not going to be great as it took 10 minutes before someone came over to even give us menus. The lack of service perpetuated the entire meal...it took 30+ minutes for us to get our meal, we then had to wait 5 minutes on silverware to even eat our meal. Our waitress never came by unprompted once and acted inconvenienced when we asked for her. The food was also lackluster - the chicken fajitas, while a decent portion, were lacking flavor and the tortillas are basic store bought. read more

I have Eaten California burritos coast to coast. This California burrito without a doubt nothing comes close. It is the largest most delicious of all time. I had mine with the pulled pork. Service was excellent. All sauce and the guacamole absolutely delicious. Highly recommend if you're in Jacksonville. read more

Here in the area for an appointment at Mayo and need some dinner. Found this fabulous restaurant down the street from our hotel the Hampton Inn on Beach Blvd. It happened to be a Tuesday so taco Tuesday was in effect. The special was three tacos for 7.99. I expected small tacos so I also ordered table side guacamole. Well everything was large and delicious. My husband wasn't too hungry so he ordered a fajita quesadilla well it was enormous. Service was top notch and atmosphere was pleasant and appropriate. Highly recommend this restaurant. Margaritas were great and on $5 special yay!! read more

My girlfriend and I went with her two kids to this establishment although inside is pretty old and needs to be redone decorations are kind of cool. We overloaded on the food started with queso and jalapeño bites. Jalapeño bites would've been better if they came out warm, but they've been sitting there for a minute and was disappointed, but kept them to heat up at home later no big deal moving on margarita frozen 20 ounce mango with Taheen on the rim delicious I could've had two Oh that's right I did have two lol Girlfriend had the blueberries smoky margarita she said it was pretty spicy for her taste so she got a piña colada boys ordered chicken wings, french fries and quesadilla they said was delicious. I got number 21 and the chili relleno was to die for the rest of it was good too. A lot of food but delicious. My girlfriend got the fajitas wasn't impressed with her selection. The shrimp were so tiny they weren't even like the real kind and I'm not sure about the steak meat. Look kind of sketchy to me anyway I was happy with what we got for the most part. I'm willing to give them another try they weren't busy and it was a Sunday, but they definitely aimed to please and the attention to service detail was amazing. read more

Food is far better than their old location. Service is great. We'll be back. Especially enjoyed their house made salsa real home run there, far better than any other Mexican restaurant we've been to. read more

I had the pleasure of trying La Nopalera for the first time celebrating a neighbors birthday. This location was new, although I'm not sure when it opened. The service was great and the margaritas were delicious! I tried both the Blueberry Jalapeno and Smokey Mango margaritas and my favorite was the blueberry. I ordered three tacos, asada, shredded pork and shredded chicken, served with beans and rice. The tacos were tasty and fresh and served with a spicy pico. I also had a jalapeno popper which was crispy and delicious. And the queso was yummy too. I will absolutely be back to this location as it was close to home and I enjoyed the food and ambiance. read more

Good, fresh food excellent service and refreshing drinks. It really doesn't take much more than that to make me happy!

Been back a few times since this review and the service has changed a lot. The food is good, service is solid and ambience is relaxing and entertaining. The birria is amazing. Thank you Jose. Your lively energy was needed after a long day read more

La Nopalera - Beach Blvd - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

This is a newer LaNop location and is very clean with an open fun vibe. The staff is friendly but not very prompt. This isn't a great place for a quick meal, but it's good for a leisurely meal with friends and family The food is pretty much like other La Nopalera Restaurants, decent Mexican food. The tortilla stew is very good Overall, I enjoy eating here occasionally but it's not the best Mexican food in town. read more

My favorite place to enjoy fajitas. The price for the size of food is top tier. I love coming to this place for fajitas Oaxaca and sometimes a Michelada. Service is always good. read more

Extremely pricey with delivery. Food was ok. The menu was varied with a lot of choices. When you're from San Diego where quality Mexican food can be had on just about any corner, you become very picky. read more

After visiting their other locations, I gave up on them with mediocre food and service. After reading other reviews of there newest location on Beach Blvd we decided to give them a try and I am glad we did the food was awesome service was great Managment checked on us to ensure everything was good we were very happy with the food, desert, and the margaritas. This will be our new go to for Mexican food and drinks. If you were not happy with previous visits at there other locations give them a try you will be pleasantly surprised. read more

Just punch me in the face. I do delivery. I keep giving them a chance but each time they manage to F it up every darn by "forgetting" a dish. Food is good, but the consistent failure to CHECK the order and not RIP ME OFF is re- dondiculous. read more

La Nopalera - Beach Blvd - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I'm so glad La Nopalera reopened near me. It's a little closer to town on Beach Blvd (closer to Hodges) than the previous location at San Pablo. The new restaurant is brand new with colorful decor (although I preferred the Mexican-themed decor at the other location) and much more space for dining. Service is much better as they have a ton more staff now and the food is still the same great food you'd expect for La Nops. I've been hoping they would re-open and they did. This is probably my favorite for well-priced Mexican food and cheap Margaritas. I've been here twice in the last 2 weeks and I'll continue to return. read more

This franchise is great, but this location stands out. Our waitress was excellent , we didn't wait for anything. The Taco Tuesday deal - three generous tacos for $7.99. The tableside guacamole and blueberry drink are must-trys. The fresh corn tortillas make it even better. This restaurant is well-run, clean, and affordable. Should definitely swing by and check this location out. read more

Went there around Christmas. Fantastic food. Great service. Nice atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Service was fast and good, Eveything was very fresh and authentic. Been looking for a restaurant like this for a while instead of the ones that are overpriced and don't taste good! The prices are also good, portions are huge! Another favorite added to my restaurants here in Jax. read more

At a friend's urging we decided to dine out for Mexican. Great! She selected La Nop from a list of Mexican restaurants I provided. I want to be clear - the food was GREAT - this pan is about one single issue that downed the whole experience. We arrived around 7:30 and were immediately seated at a table. A woman brought us complimentary chips, salsa and waters. A few minutes pass and our server appears to take our requests. We order a margarita and a sangria and table side guacamole. Drinks come out a few minutes later and the nice lady comes over with her cart to make the guac magic happen. The issue arose when we placed our entree orders. We did this around 8:15. Our food arrived at our table at 9:14. Yes, exactly 9:14 because at 9:15 we were prepared to walk out. Neither of us ordered inordinate nor extravagant food. Nor did we ask for anything special to be done to our entrees. Our server came over to reassure us our food was coming very soon. Spoiler alert - it wasn't. After another table touch by our server we asked was the kitchen even preparing our food to which the young woman said the kitchen was slammed with orders right before ours was submitted. Now, both my dining companion and myself would have understood if the server had told us prior to us ordering that they were loaded up on orders and it might take longer than normal. We received no such advisement. At the third go around we went full Karen and asked (politely) to see the manager. The assistant manager appeared minutes later and said he had spoken to the manager and the kitchen was working on it. We made our dissatisfaction known. We pressed for a time as to when our food would be ready. He kept saying you won't be waiting for another hour. GEE THANKS! This was at 9:10. My companion and I agreed that if at 9:15 the food wasn't before us we pay for what we received and walk. And at 9:14 FOOD! Glorious food! We ate. We enjoyed. We paid. Didn't ask for a reduction in price nor a credit toward another purchase there. I doubt I'll darken the door of that spot again. read more

Probably the worst food I have ever had. I ordered Nachos Supreme. There was literally zero cheese on the entire dish. The meat was gross and chips stale. I let the workers know and I got " I'm sorry" . read more

I hadn't eaten at a La Nopalera in a long time because they seemed to go down hill through the years. I was in the area and decided to try the new location near Beach and Hodges and I must say, I was super impressed! It was very clean and the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with a friendly greeting. I sat at the bar and received excellent service and the food was fantastic. Overall, it was an excellent experience and was a major improvement from what I remember at their old location by San Pablo. This La Nopalera will be my new go to for Mexican food and I will definitely be back soon. I highly recommend, especially if you were disappointed with them in the past. read more

It's was ok, really commercial Mexican food better than Taco Bell but way over priced good sized portions. Not bad but not great.

Taco salad in the giant, super crispy taco shell!!! Fajita beef, my fave! FYI, check margarita sizes when you order, because they have biiggg ones, just be ready! :D read more

They Do not have a clue about how Nachos are made. Very disappointing thinking picking something so simple and having them messed it up just embarrassing. Taco Bell has better Nachos for less than half of the price. No beans and fake can or glasses bottle of white cheese? read more

I placed an order by telephone. The food was very good. My only complaint is the the food plate that i ordered was all together in one container, which when got it home was all mixed. I would suggest compartment containers for to go foods. Some things just do not travel well together in same container. That is my only complaint. Otherwise it was all very delicious. Would order again. read more

I would like to give this a better review but our dining experience resulted in digestive issues that evening and the following day. The food was tasty, the ambiance was cleaner and nicer than most La Nop restaurants in the area. The service was good. The sangria was awful. read more

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED! This was always La NOPE for me, but the Beach Blvd location has an amazing manager whom obviously is bringing a higher standard of quality. The food is fresh, the service is pretty good and the restaurant is clean!!! Haven't made it through the full menu yet but the rice plates, like Arroz Texanos, is a large portion that can be shared and you may still have some leftover. this is now my fav for Mexican food. read more

I have tried so many La Naps in the area before, and they all PALE in comparison to Daniel's restaurant. We have been long time friends of Daniel since he worked over at Tequila Town, so when we heard he was helping to open this restaurant it was immediately on our list to try. We have been back here consistently since it opened, going about once a week. The ambience of the restaurant is welcoming and inviting, the food and the service are always top notch. We have never once been disappointed. You get so much food for the fair prices, and I would always highly recommend it to anyone who asks for a good Mexican spot! I've tried numerous items on the menu and have always been extremely satisfied. They have all the traditional food you would like, and a few of their own creations and items that always blow me away. They make all their corn tortillas fresh and have some of the best Horchata! I cannot recommend this place enough. If you're looking for fair priced top notch quality Mexican food in a clean beautiful restaurant, this place is 100% for you! Can't wait to be back tomorrow for a Sunday tradition. read more

Good food, Big portions, Service is good as well. good atmosphere as well will be a regular here.
