If you are looking for a sit down and be served restaurant this is not the place. The menu is very limited and you will have to get in line to order. When we came in the menus are up at the front and so we stood around, not knowing the procedure. Everyone that was new was very confused about how to order your food. It would be nice if they had menus right at the entrance when you come in so you could grab them and get in line. The food was good but i was expecting more. The margarita i got was mango and tasted good but I watched the bartender make it and he measures out every drink. I think you’ll only get one shot which isn’t enough for a good margarita. The chips felt like they were out of a bag from a grocery store. We loved the guacamole though. If you were looking for an intimate setting, this is definitely not the place. My wife got the dish with the cactus and eggs in it and I think it would’ve been better if she would’ve actually got The short ribs too. It was rather bland. She had them go back and get some lime to put it on there to give it more taste. The staff was very considerate and kind and helpful. They were great! I do think they could use a woman’s touch around that place a little bit too. I only noticed men working there.

The space is nice and Cocktails are deserving of your attention. We had the fish and carnitas tacos. They were fabulous, the tortillas were so tasty. We will be back to enjoy their fine fare.

This little food cart has great food and very friendly service. It's located in the Whittaker neighborhood right across the street from Ninkasi's tasting room. They have Tacos, burritos, quesadillas, etc. All of the meals I've had from here have been fresh, hot, and tasty. Prices are fair, especially for the freshness and quality of the food.
Parking: It's in a neighborhood, so street parking within walking distance is the best option.

Stopped by Eugene and tried this place out. The others I were traveling with were not feeling Mexican but upon trying this place they were pleasantly surprised! The quality of the meat and the handmade tortillas really made this place stand out. 5/5

Some tips for vegetarian meals. El Nopalito is usually able to substitute mushrooms, nopales or eggs for other proteins.
Vegetarian options: Substitute mushrooms, eggs or nopales for any other proteins. Just mention that you’re vegetarian or other dietary needs and they can guide you.
Parking: If there is ever limited parking in front or in the lot, just go one block on the other side of Ninkasi to park.
Kid-friendliness: Kids love this food. They can substitute items usually if needed.

I tried the pambazo, and now I need a nap. Seriously, the sandwich is stick to your ribs hardy! Do not attempt to eat while wearing your favorite white shirt. The agua fresca was just the freshing thing you need on a hot summer afternoon. Will be returning to try more!
