La Nopalera Mexican Restaurant

The food is always amazing but tonight the service was terrible, our waiter didn’t come by at all and we waited like 45 minutes after we ate to get our bill and the restaurant was empty, ridiculous that

The tables weren't the cleanest, and initially, it seemed as if the server had a slight attitude because we were placed in her section. We only opted to move because we were about to be seated in an overly crowded area. Aside from that, the food was flavorful and delicious. Very generous portions for the price.

Usually we are regulars.. but we won't be any more we will not be coming back that's for sure...Jose the waitress was so into his phone and talking to other employees.So so where not busy yet .We came. Before the rush for dinner.Totally disappointed. Brought family from out of town here . Because usually the service and food are amazing...But not tonight for sure .That would be Thursday night 8l18/2025.Jose was not friendly at all.My husband try to even crack a joke with him.Anyways and we didn't even need refills on our drinks.He only came to bring us our check.Then when we ask for to go back.It was like such a big problem.Firdt of all we didn't enjoy the food.Usally it's really good.But our guests wanna two to go boxes.Anyway hear nor there.We have always been regulars.But don't think we will be anymore.We will miss out bartenders.But not the service from Jose and others

.I truly hope the make a change in customer service and the quality of the food.Also we are regulars and we dine in and usually spend 60 to 120 dollars every time and tip well...So not sure what has happened to this restaurant.But it's not the same as it was before

Long time customer, food is amazing but service is horrible 90% of the time, I always tip over 20% but this is the only place I typically dont due to the service. All the employees just sit at the table talking and I have to actually go get them after waiting 5 minutes. It doesnt matter what race you are they just have bad service in general...love their food but may beed to find a new restaurant.

They messed up my order. The food was bad. I let them know. I wasn’t asking for anything in return and they didn’t really care because they are so crowded. It’s unfortunate.

This restaurant is snazzy, creative, and happy.

In all, I wish to make up the charge for a large bag of not too greasy chips and large side of salsa for take out to enjoy for a couple of days.

Their salsa is consistently good and the server makes fresh, spicy tableside guacamole which is spicier depending on how many and how much the jalapeños are smashed. When not needing to eat as much avocado, I like being able to enjoy their small side of guacamole on their fajita salad while requesting a side of fresh jalapeños. Their queso is smooth and good.

The chef prepares a generous, well seasoned chicken taco accompanied by special salsa. I enjoy their light, sweet, and crispy sopapillas for an occasional special treat. Their standard sometimes house-made tortillas with fajita inside are a nice large portion, personalizable sharing and I often choose chicken. I request light pepper within the same fajita ratio and for the peppers and onions to be nicely cubed to be a more nicely incorporated dish.

They appear friendly, do not always like socializing and feedback, and like to help direct. I wish I could enjoy their good food in peace, to not visit too much when I’m in a rush, and for trained staff that do not change the menu too much during ordering after arrival. I appreciate their convenient take out.

I really generally enjoy fajitas with poblano pepper, corn, and melted cheese. Therefore, I wish to try their fajitas oxaca with melted Mexican string cheese. I request no cooked tomatoes with my fajitas and only the tomatoes which come fresh with the salad. Also, I wish to request and purchase for a small charge a side of cup jalapeños to add.

For another meal option, what would a deconstructed beef taco salad for take out look like with salsa on the side for dipping the shell where the salad, protein, and shell are separate?

When looking for a nice dish, I really enjoy their fabulous pollo relleno which includes fresh elements with melted cheese.

After editing and requesting my meal order, I ask for the price of the bill.

Love this mexican restaurant! I always look forward to the blueberry pineapple margs! Also, tons of seating inside very spacious for a big party or group outing, and some outdoor seating with heat lamps in the winter. They also have a walk up bar outside and a full bar inside. Service is usually quick and staff are friendly.

This was our first time here. Food was great, Margaritas were great. It was during the day and it was kinda warm inside. The AC should definitely have been on but other than that, it was good 😊
