Yes just wanted to say that my experience with all el nopal restaurants are good if they mess up on the order they fix it no problem and the workers staff are very pleasant to talk to and food is great that's why I say 5 stars
August 2025
My food order was very sloppy. I understand that it's a Mexican restaurant but it is very frustrating when they get your order wrong because they can't comprehend English. This is the one on Shelbyville road. I go to the one on Dixie highway in shively easily once a week I have no problems there.
