El Nopal is a casual, authentic Mexican restaurant that locals enjoy for its good food and reasonable prices. The restaurant is especially known for its taco Tuesdays, with the beef and chorizo tacos being particularly popular among customers. Many have praised the food for being delicious and fresh, with the chicken tostadas and guacamole appetizer also receiving positive mentions. The chile rellenos are still a solid menu option, and the loaded nachos continue to impress with fresh toppings and crunchy, freshly-fried chips.
Customers appreciate the strong margaritas, both on the rocks and frozen, although some find the cocktails a bit costly. The service at El Nopal is outstanding, featuring attentive staff who ensure water is constantly refilled, and offer the option to take unfinished drinks to-go. While the standard tacos may be light on fillings, the Deluxe option is recommended, and the black beans and mild Al Pastor taco are also tasty. The atmosphere is described as busy, slightly dark, and cozy, making it a cute and cool place to dine. Overall, El Nopal offers high-quality, professionally-prepared Mexican fare in a welcoming setting, with a variety of vegetarian options available as well.
