Food is good but always charge more than the menu’s price.

Review written 02/05/2025. I went there one time with my sister and it wasn’t very tasty so I shouldn’t have gone back but I was walking past and decided to give it a try.
They charged $5.99 for a plain side cheese quesadilla that was overcooked and the cheese tasted spoiled. I’d say like $2.99 or $3.99 would be a better price. Really for one tortilla and some cheese, $5.99? Lol
And they charged me for a horchata drink when I didn’t even get that. It was a dollar more plus tax, than the soft drink I actually got.
Salsa was watery.
Guac was good.
Menu was sticky and not clean.
Decor is pretty though.

They do a great job with the food, and the atmosphere is enjoyable. Frozen margarita tower is always a good time, too!

This place is a diamond in hideng. I would have never expected the food, service or atmosphere to be what it was. Cozy, comfortable! Food was delicious and drinks were well made!

We ate an early lunch at Tres Nopales not long after opening on Saturday. I greeted the server with an “hola” and was pleased he did not mind me speaking a bit of Spanish. This isn’t always true. More there was futbol on tv. I appreciated that, especially listening to the sports announcers.

My wife selected a fajita quesadilla plate and I had a vegetarian fajita taco salad and fresh coffee. The food was very fresh. Excellent taste. The coffee seemed unique. Quite flavorful.

Last, I really like that this space was made into the restaurant. It is an older building and everything was painted and fixed up.

Our server was the best. Very gentlemanly and treated me with some deference. This I appreciated, because as a white hair, it is rare.

Share a meal in this space.

Vegetarian options: I took vegetarian fajita taco salad. They had a vegetarian burrito and more.

Parking: Parking was a quarter per half hour. Very inexpensive.

I've recently started ordering at this restaurant. The Chimichanga's are delicious and the rice is great also. Different taste than from the other Mexican restaurants and their customer service is great!
