About Nopalito

Nopalito offers a unique dining experience with convenient QR code ordering and online payment. This cozy and bright restaurant stands out in the fog of San Francisco. The birria with flower tortillas remains a standout dish, while the carnitas tacos are praised as the best in the Bay Area. The pozole is rich in flavor and has an authentic taste. Guests can also enjoy tasty margaritas, including the refreshing guava margarita, and flan for dessert. The menu features vibrant dishes like Quesadilla Roja con Chicharron, huarache de huitlacoche, and mole poblano enchiladas, all highly recommended. The gorditas are hearty with root vegetables, and the cauliflower is described as meaty and tangy like buffalo wings. Nopalito's hibiscus orange drink offers a unique flavor reminiscent of fruit leather.

With friendly and attentive service, the waitstaff is responsive, and the bartender is welcoming and open to chatting. Guests have noted the upbeat service and the smiles of the staff make the experience better. Nearly everything on the menu is gluten-free, and there is a dedicated gluten-free fryer. Guests can expect generous portions, making it likely they'll need a doggy bag. Nopalito is a perfect restaurant for Mexican food with a twist, offering a warm and interesting meal that feels a little like Mexican soul food.

Awesome food! Would go back again!
I'm going there Monday for a wedding meal and we're all hoping it's going to be perfect. I'll let you know. So 5 stars to begin with!
I love this place! I go here every time I'm in the city. The food is great, and with a Oaxacan spin, which means lots of Mezcal options if you're into cocktails, and which means salsa macha which is fabulous, and which means uniquely grilled options, including fish options, and black beans.

Play open at around brunch time, so you can't get true breakfast there, but you can definitely get brunch and they have some really great egg options. I love Huevos al Nido, personally,...read full review
