“Deliciosa comida! Excelente servicio 100% recomendado!!“

“awesome family run restaurant! best food ever.“

“I wish I had known about this restaurant a long time ago! The owner seems super cool, and it was really nice to talk to her and to support woman run business!“

“Bombshell. Never expected Super Taco to come swinging that BDE but I got a taco salad to go for my first experience at Super Taco. It was 20 minutes until they were closed and I needed my taco salad to go. I hate ordering something that comes in a crunchy delivery mechanism, but they separated them and gave me a fresh hot crunchy tortilla bowl. When I got home, I got to put the ingredients together and it was insanely good in the service was incredible. If you’re contemplating stopping there stop in you won’t regret it. They’re amazing! I can’t thank you enough super taco.“

“Staff and atmosphere were great. Food was good, but not great. Had Menudo, which was very good in flavor, but the broth was kind of thin. The Birria Tacos were very good, nice flavor. The enchiladas were kind of disappointing, the meat was on the cool side, and the sauce just didn't taste right (a little sweet for my taste). Rice and beans were good. Overall we'll be back, thinking about trying other things.“

“We stopped in for a quick snack with my husband and kids, and everything was great. My husband’s burrito was delicious and the salsa had the perfect amount of spice. My taco salad with birria was also amazing, and even the kids’ meals were a hit. It was a little more expensive than we expected, but definitely worth the extra bucks.“

“Taqueria El Nopal -- Glenwood Springs, CO

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food where the locals actually eat, put Taqueria El Nopal on your list.

This is definitely off the tourist path, and when we walked in on a Tuesday, the restaurant was filled with locals, always a good sign. It's tucked into a strip mall, but don't let that fool you. Inside, it's colorful, casual, and full of character, with beautiful original artwork painted on the benches and tables.

You order at the counter, and we happened to visit on Tuesday, when fajitas were the special. The portion was generous, and they were absolutely delicious. My daughter had the quesadillas, my son ordered the steak platter, and everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and very well prepared.

The only thing I wasn't particularly impressed with was the salsa bar. But honestly, that was a small downside compared with how good everything else was.

This is exactly the kind of unassuming, hole-in-the-wall local restaurant I love discovering, authentic food, lots of personality, generous portions, and a place where the community actually goes to eat.

If you're visiting Glenwood Springs, skip some of the touristy spots and make a stop at Taqueria El Nopal.

Definitely worth seeking out! It's on the pricy side because for the three of us with no alcohol it was $90.“
