Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

My wife and I were headed down south for vacation and we looked on our GPS for a Mexican restaurant. The GPS found this great Mexican restaurant for us! The restaurant is very bright at night which was very appealing. We were greeted warmly when we walked in, and had our drinks served right away. The food: The chips and salsa was very good. They give you hot and mild salsas to dip. I ordered the Chicken Nachos and they were delicious! It was a huge plate, and several times I wanted to stop eating, but I couldn't since it was so good! My wife had some enchiladas and loved them! The waiters were very quick and friendly! I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Had the quesadilla stuffed with fajita steak. It was a generous size with a large browned tortilla holding plenty of contents including grilled onions and bell peppers. They chose to use Monterrey Jack for the cheese inside this quesadilla, and I know some people are good with this combination of cheese/meat, but i personally would've preferred a Mexican blend or even mozzarella for this type of quesadilla. The issue for me was that it resembled the flavors of a cheese steak more than a caramello, particularly because of mixing Monterrey jack with grilled steak. The tortilla chips are a poor starter here compared to other Mexican places in Carrolton, but other than that the meal was fine and I plan to return to try the enchiladas.

We were on a camping trip at nearby General Butler State Park (which I will also have to review) when the inevitable happened in July...heavy rain and storms! So what do you do when you are in a pop-up camper and it's pouring down rain? You go find a Mexican joint to gorge yourself on of course! El Nopal is a chain like many regional Mexican restaurants. We had 4 adults and 3 kids in our group and were accommodated without any problems. I ordered the carnitas dinner which was very tasty, but entirely too big, although I guess that's a good value. The kids meals were insanely large. Unless your kids are over the age of 10 or has a tapeworm, I'd recommend they split one of these meals.

I visit Carrollton often, and this is a good stand-by for dinner. On a nice night, we asked if we could sit out in the patio area, even though no one was sitting out there at the time. They said yes with no hesitation, and our table was ready 30 seconds after we sat down - great service, great (very fresh) guacamole!

El Nopal is a Mexican restaurant chain (although I'm not sure how far their tethers stretch), however don't let the word "chain" scare you off. Their food is not bad! They may not be the best, 4-star Michelin restaurant, but on the other side of the scale, they aren't Taco Bell either. It's a good, middle-of-the-road place to eat. They do make their salsa, guacamole, beans, and cheese fresh in-house. While their salsa and guac isn't the best I've eaten, they're pretty tasty. Two choices of salsa on-table, mild or hot. Perhaps they blend the salsa a bit much for me. It's more of a puree than any chunkiness, and a little generic... but hey, it's freshly made and tastes okay. Arguably better than most store-bought, but I wouldn't make a special trip just for the salsa. If you read my review of "The Real Enchilada", Nopal's beans do not hold a candle to Real's. Although they aren't bad. Tolerable would be my best description... granted I'm biased. I'll eat a few bites of them, but make no attempt to finish them. Don't let my frequent check-ins trick you. El Nopal is not my favorite Mexican restaurant, I happen to work right across the street. Having said that though... They may not be the best, but the food is fresh, tasty and filling. Pretty big dinner portions too. If El Nopal's food weren't any good, I wouldn't be eating here. In an area surrounded by fast food, they're a decent alternative. I may like other places better, but I still like El Nopal.

This is a chain restaurant from a group located in Kentucky & Indiana. The staff is Mexican, the menu has more seafood items than the typical Mexican restaurant . A good stop if you heading down I-71 South.
