Nopalito's is just plain better than every other fast-casual Mexican restaurant in the Boulder area. The food's better quality, tastier, and fresher, and they have more options (especially for vegan/vegetarian) than anywhere around. The service is better, and the chill vibe in the restaurant is perfect for relaxing. I just wish they were on more of the delivery apps. We'd probably order at least 2x a week!Awesome!

Breakfast Burrito is excellent. Extra add ins are great. Service is always fast and everyone is very nice and friendly.

I'm so happy they are finally open again in their new location! The food is just as amazing as always and the service is fantastic! The Baja shrimp bowl will always be my favorite!

Absolutely love this spot! My friends and I love chillin on the patio with some margs. The staff is amazing and do a great job at making me feel at home. I moved from TX a couple of years ago and had a hard time finding some good casual Mexican food, so I am very grateful to have found this spot! Better than Chipotle, Qdoba, and Illegal Pete’s!

I came to try a new breakfast burrito in town and was greeted by the greatest service ever. Definitely coming here every time I am craving a burrito.

Soooo friendly and soooo good. We had a hard time finding this place - google maps took us to the wrong part - my understanding is that they were moving soon anyway. We loved the atmosphere and the food options. I got a 3 taco basket and loved that I could try three meats - chicken was the best - the shredded beef was a little too tough for me. We also got a couple of quesadilla's each made a little different and they were huge. The margarita's looked amazing and were reasonably priced - we opted not to try them though because we were staying up in the mountains and the road was a little windy - that we thought it was better that we didn't. The staff were amazing, helpful and proud of the food they were serving - this is a place I would definitely visit regularly if I were closer.

For my family, this is THE go-to place for burritos in Boulder County. My son really likes getting a burrito of cochinita pibil with nopalitos added in. Overall, ingredients are fresh and flavorful. Staff and management are always welcoming. Nice patio and ample parking, too. Check it out and support a local business! :)Vegetarian options: You can get potatoes, fajita veggies, guac, sour cream, etc and build a great veggie burrito. I think I was told that all the rice and all the bean options are vegetarian, but it might be worth verifying when ordering, if that is important to you.Kid-friendliness: Totally kid friendly. My kid likes the food. The flautas seem like a kid pleaser.Parking: Huge parking lot, very easy to park very close.
Soooo delicious. We came bright and early to watch the USA World Cup game and had space for us. Highly recommend!

Great small space located in a Plaza. Wonderful service and loved the patio. Food was served Chipotle style BUT everything was so fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend the shrimp tacos!

I ordered a marg and 3 steak tacos with corn tortillas. The tortillas are super cheap and ripped/soaked through before I even started eating them. They split as soon as you touch them. So i ate my taco ingredients with my fork while staring disappointingly at my pile of destroyed corn tortilla. The margarita eas good and strong, so im typing this a lil drunk.

One of my favorite places to get a burrito. The cochinita pibil was great, but the folks that work there are even better. Super friendly. Great eats. It's kinda tucked away, and I personally love that. Bet it's great for happy hour.
