It is a big and open restaurant. I came here during lunch on a week day and it was fairly busy. That did not slow down the service though. I got a seat really get away and ordered a lunch time chimichanga. It came out a little under ten minutes later. My only complaint was that it was a tad bit smaller than I expected but with the amount of chips and salsa I consumed it all evened out. The place was clean and well kept. The radio could have been turned down a little bit though. The service was fast and I had no complaints on their part.

Love coming to El Nopal! Service is always fast and friendly. Chips are served hot and always fresh. Salsa is just okay but the white queso is delicious! I have only ordered the steak burrito from here for lunch. It comes with rice and refried beans and smothered in the white queso. They always have a nice selection of fresh lunch specials posted on a board right when you enter. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys fresh Mexican with great service! I would love to try the margaritas as well. They look great.

Budget, fast Mexican food. Came here with about ten people from work. Our server had no problem handling separate checks. Chips and salsa never went empty, even for a big group. I had the carnitas lunch. Good, solid fare. Really good prices on the lunch specials.

My wife and I ate here for dinner. Excellent shrimp cocktail, if you have never tried it, you won't be disappointed! It is a full meal, a real treat and a nice change from the rice and beans fare. The grilled chicken salad was average. It was overly salted on a bed of iceberg lettuce. They should class it up with some other varieties of lettuce. Very convenient if you are staying at the comfort suites.

This was our first visit to the restaurant, my husband & I will definitely be back. Portions are large, I was only able to eat one taco. My husband, who eats like a horse :), was unable to finish his plate as well. The waiter was great! He was on top of everything, bringing more soft drinks before the other glass was empty, making sure our order came out correctly and refilling the salsa carafes in a timely manner. Atmosphere is nice & this seems to be a great family place.

While the food was delicious, I could not help but frown upon the gigantic black hair I found in my fajita mix. That was enough to put down my fork and make me never go back again. Word of advice to the chef, wear a hair net.

The shrimp and chicken over rice and cheese was delicious. Fresh shrimp and chicken. Chips and salsa were also above average. Soft beef taco was twice the size of taco bell and the chicken enchilada had a good red sauce. Glad i chose this over sporting news.

Was here in Louisville for training and the guys decided we should come here. It's a new place and no reviews. I had the Taco Salad so I wouldn't be weighed down for class. Service was fast. This place is clean since it's brand new. The waiter brought out the chips and salsa. We had to ask for the "Special salsa". This one has all the onions and cilantro. Not overly hot but just spicy enough. Our food came out quick. The salad was tasty. I some chicken on the bottom and it was soft and marinated nice. I would recommend this place and come back again. Price was not to bad. About $10 for dinner and a drink. G

I work at the airport and have been to this restaurant many times and have not had a bad meal yet. Chicken fajita lunch is my favorite. Salsa is not as good as my wife's but is acceptable. Staff is always kind and attentive.

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.
