I saw this place had good reviews so I decided to try it out but I was very disappointed. Half the chips were stale, the chicken tacos lacked flavor, and the lunch burrito was soaked in sauce (which the menu did not indicate). The rice was also quite bland and the beans were kind of runny. The only two good things were the horchata and that the food came out fast, but I would've rather it had taken longer so it'd be better quality. The service itself was ok but at the beginning, all of the servers sat down for their lunch break and they just ignored us for like 10 minutes when we hadn't even ordered our food yet. It may have just been bad timing and we were the only table in there, but it just left a bad taste with me. Will not be coming back.

If you want authentic Mexican style street tacos - complete with the most tender and pillowy housemade corn tortillas - go to Tres Nopales! I had 2 tacos: shrimp and al pastor. So delicious - especially the shrimp which was perfectly seasoned. We had churros for dessert and they were so addictive, with a crispy and lightly sugared/cinnamon'ed outside and moist, soft inside, served with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and a cherry. The restaurant had a clean and colorful interior, and we really appreciated the kindness and friendliness of the servers. Food came out quick, too. Can't wait to go back!

Best Mexican food in CU. Consistently hot, fast, and delicious. Staff is very friendly, crowd is usually lively, and I always leave full and happy.

The food itself was really good in general, minus the salsa tasting a bit too sweet and the guacamole including some external parts of avocado. The best part was the fresh cactus! ? They cut it up and grilled it. It is not pickled cactus. I appreciated the garnishes on the tacos, too! Prices were fair, but the service was a bit slow in terms of drink refills and bringing us the check.Vegetarian options: There is a large vegetarian selection. If you have never tried grilled cactus, then this is the place to have that experience!!

My family and I visited this establishment for the first time on 02/22/24 and we enjoyed the food and the ambiance. The location is very convenient. The steak tacos were definitely a hit and the margarita was on point. It was strong and good at the same time. The meat was very well seasoned and edible. We all enjoyed our food. The service could have been a little better. The server could have checked on us more and refilled our chips and salsa. We waited about 12 minutes for chips and then 5 minutes for salsa. On a positive note, the salsa was really goood!! We will make this our regular spot as long as the service improves.

Food is amazing. Legit best tamales verdes and beef chimichangas I've ever had. Only point of improvement would be better beverage refill service. Had to ask each time for our drinks to be replenished.Parking: Parking deck is directly behind resturant

Food quality was not great for the price. Beef was overcooked, hard, and unseasoned. The service was OK but delayed coming to our table for some time even though the place was empty. Sorry, but I would not recommend, which is especially disappointing since I came to support a Latino/Hispanic establishment.
This restaurant is amazing!!! the place is so clean that you can run your fingers along the boards on the wall and have ZERO dust. The service is so polite and speedy. I also loved the food, it's really accurate to what my partner in Mexico makes (just bigger portioned for the American tastes haha)
