Typical American Mexican food for the most part. They do take pride in the quality of food and its appearance. Always friendly service. And you get free fresh tortilla chips and salsa within a minute you are seated.

I ordered the dinner size Steak Fahita, the order came, something didn't look right, a lot of.steamed yellow onions on top hardly any green peppers. The steak strips were dark and thin and hard to chew. Didn't finish the meal and asked for a carry out. Later at home I heated the remainder and it dawned on me as I looked again, they had given me old steak strips perhaps cooked the day before. That was dangerous to feed patron old food. Even tipped the waiter $5 bucks. Please watch your food. I threw the rest out.

Absolutely great service and really good food! I like the fact that they give you two levels of salsa's with your tortilla chips.

Service has been so so at this location but the food is the same as the other locations. The food has been prepared quickly the two times I have been to this location which was nice!

My friend had a Mexican plate with 2 burritos, beans, rice. I had a chicken taco salad. The servings were enormous and delicious. I ended up taking some of mine home for supper, I was so full. The servers were very attentive and polite.

It was great but when we asked our waitress if we could get a soft taco she acted like she didn't know what we were saying. And that's a little disturbing considering she was Hispanic. But after we figured that out we were doing great and it was a nice

El Nopal is consistent in its freshness and flavor, and doesn't disappoint with quick service and large portions. Out recent meal wasn't quite as good as others - the queso was lacking in flavor and was pretty gummy instead of gooey. My margarita was quite balanced either. However, the rest of our meal was sizzling hot and delicious! Always love the fajitas here!

Too many times my order has been wrong and service has been substandard. Today I ordered lunch no5 and queso dip. It took a long time to get drinks and instead of an order of queso they put it all over my burrito. When it was pointed out they never brought the queso dip. I even made my hands into the shape of a circle when I asked for it the second and third time. No refills on drinks or salsa were offered. And they charged me for adding queso to the dish that I didn’t ask for. Never brought the queso dip but didn’t charge me for it. It’s been quite awhile last visit to this location. Now I remember why. I won’t forget. Mediocre food. Horrible service. Don’t bother
