Nothing good! Frozen prepared food. Taco Bell quality stuff. Rice was the best thing about my lunch. The beans were a puréed mess. Asked for a tamale with my meal, it came as I was finishing up. I have the Mole pork. It’s was mole sauce blended with Bbq sauce. Hmm nothing Mexican about that. It’s a one and done kinda place if you are a foodie.

First time at El Nopal for lunch today. The place was so clean, decorated very cute. Everything looked really well maintained and very welcoming. Our waitress was just ok. She wasn't super pleasant, she forgot our queso dip and our extra sour cream. She wasn't the worst, but def wasn't the best. Food was good, salsa was yummy. Service was fast. Was super excited to see live music on a Friday afternoon, and the gentlemen playing was amazing. Snagged his card on the way out (Tre Myers), hope to see him back there next time.

The Lil chick at the counter. The reviews was correct. My first time there no help. Shoved a menu in my face after she saw me reading one when I came in. I ordered Mexican tacos. I asked her any sauces she shooing me away like I'm a fly, saying no drydry, still trying to ask her what can I put on this driness. I told her she was ignorant like the reviews said. I will stick tomy own kind...WILL NEVER BE BACK

Staff is very rude, food is alright. I see a lot of negative comments about the short woman who works there. She lives up to her negative image. I quietly waited in line, I get to the counter and she asks me if I?m picking up. I say no, I need to place anorder and she walks away to the back. Then around 8 Spanish speaking individuals came in. She magically appeared from the back,completely ignored me, and started taking their orders. That?s when I walked out and took my business elsewhere. Won?t bereturning.
