Los Nopalitos - Morganton
Los Nopalitos
Description
A warm, family-run taqueria offers authentic, grill-fired Mexican dishes in a colorful, homey dining room with spotless restrooms. Friendly staff and a standout cheese sauce make visits pleasant, but quality is uneven—some dishes lack seasoning—and a language barrier can complicate orders. Drinks are often sold only in pricey bottles and water/soda may incur charges. Expect a casual mom‑and‑pop experience that’s delicious at times but inconsistent overall.

The best Mexican/Hispanic cuisine in Morganton! The empanadas are fantastic, as is everything else on the menu. I highly recommend it.
The food here is incredibly authentic Mexican cuisine, straight off the grill. The staff, including the owner, are friendly and welcoming. You definitely need to try this place! Food rating: 5/5.
I tried the pupusas at this restaurant, and they were not good at all. They were small, dry, and lacked flavor—definitely not what I expected from a proper pupusa. I also had a taco, and it was clear that the meat hadn't been cleaned properly. The only thing I enjoyed was the Coke. They also skimped on the curtido. Anyone with a decent sense of seasoning would consider these the worst pupusas ever. Food rating: 1/5.
When this restaurant first opened, my family absolutely loved it. However, we've noticed some changes since then. The drinks now come only in pricey bottles, and the waitress seems to have difficulty understanding our orders. The staff is friendly, but there's definitely a language barrier. Additionally, they charge $2 for water and $3 for soda. Overall, I would rate the food a 4 out of 5.
