El Nopal Cold Spring

Have eaten in at this restaurant a number of times and always had a good experience. Recently, we had family from out of town visiting and decided to carry out dinner from here. We ordered a dozen different meals, some with modifications, and every single one was exactly right. The food was ready when promised and piping hot. Great job.

Our go-to Mexican spot! You can never go wrong here. The staff is always friendly, the service is great, and there are plenty of seats. Chips and salsa come out as soon as you sit down, and the food is always incredible. We've never had a bad experience!

We came for lunch. It wasnt busy at all. At first, everything was fine, we were aat quickly qnd got our chips and drinks fast. Our food came pretty quickly, but we didnt see our server again. The food tasted bland, both the chicken and steak. Almost like they boiled it yesterday and microwaved it when we ordered. It was chewy and unappetizing. We waited for almsot 30 minutes after deciding we were done before getting up to find our server to pay. My husband walked the whole front of house and there was no one. He stuck his head in the kitchen and found the whole staff just hanging out. We told them the food was bad. No apology for that or having to search for our server. For a $65 meal, I expected better food and more attentive staff. They didnt seem to care about the service or food they were providing. For a similar meal at other mexican restaurants in the area, we pay LESS for dinner than we paid for lunch here! We will never be back. That experience was embarassing for the restaurant and staff.

Food was really good. Server didn't check on us after we got our food. Didn't get any drink refills. Food was great though.

Our favorite Mexican restaurant around!!! All of the staff is so friendly and personally say hi to my family whether they're our server that day or not. They are also very accommodating with kids and the food is delicious.

It is always good.

3 of the 5 orders were wrong. My mom ended up with 2 plain Burritos with only black beans in them and black beans on the side. I guess they figured she loved black beans. We expected better food based on the other reviews.

The food was good but they did not tell you until after you ate that they took cash only. There was no sign, no warning when they sat you or when you ordered. Most people don’t carry cash you really need to tell people before they order that you only take cash.

Food average. Service average. Be warned though. No sign and when going to pay, you are told “cash only”.

Plenty of parking. Seated right away. Ordered chips and salsa, average (they do give you a mild and hot salsa). Had the #5 lunch special - burrito, taco and rice which was average. Had a steak burrito with queso on top which was good. Ordered queso for the chips which was very good and a very large portion (should have been for $7.00). Last we ordered some churros and ice cream to go. Got home and decided to try the churros and it looked like a tornado had wiped them out. They were all over the box with what appeared to be whipped cream and no ice cream 😔. Guarded these with my life all the way home to make sure they were in good shape. Next time we will have to order margaritas and we may have a better rating. Recommend checking your bill before paying. Forgot to mention the waiter was very attentive and checked on us several times.
