El Nopal is a casual, authentic Mexican restaurant that locals enjoy for its good food and reasonable prices. The restaurant is known for its taco Tuesdays, with the beef and chorizo tacos being particularly popular. The chile rellenos are also a solid menu option. Customers have been pleasantly surprised by the strong margaritas, both on the rocks and frozen, as well as the outstanding service, which includes constantly refilled water and the option to take unfinished drinks to-go. The loaded nachos are a standout, with fresh toppings and crunchy, freshly-fried chips. While the standard tacos may be light on fillings, the Deluxe option is recommended. The black beans and mild Al Pastor taco are also tasty, though the spicy house green sauce provides a nice contrast. Overall, El Nopal offers high-quality, professionally-prepared Mexican fare in a casual setting.
