El Nopal restaurant has very good food. The winter weather is cold here in New York right now. In the past, I often traveled to Mexico during this time of year & I've had lots of Mexican food. So I cannot help comparing the food here to what I've had in Mexico.
El Nopal offers a great selection with decent prices and portion sizes. If you get the tacos, suggest the Deluxe option. The standard taco was light on fillings. I tried the taco platter with rice and beans. To be honest, the black beans aren't something I had a lot of in Mexico - but still delicious! And very filling. Same thing with the Al Pastor Taco - good but the spices were mild. The House Green Sauce was extremely spicy - the complete opposite of the tacos. I mixed it with some mayonnaise to reduce the heat. The food was not overly salty which I appreciated. High quality food, professionally packaged, and love the green sauce ! read more
