El Nopalito Restaurant is a great place with friendly service and delicious food, offering plenty of options. Notable dishes include the California Burrito, which features good guacamole, fries, and tortilla, as well as the outstanding Chili Verde Pork Napalitos, praised for being authentic. The salsa bar remains a highlight for many diners. The restaurant's appearance might be a bit worn, but this adds to its charm. Some customers have experienced inconsistencies in the quality of certain dishes, such as carne asada. While the service is generally helpful and friendly, there have been mentions of difficulty in understanding the menu due to the fast-paced server and a lack of paper menus. Overall, El Nopalito is seen as a hidden jewel for those seeking real deal Mexican food.
