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.

When I plan a visit to my hometown of Las Cruces, the first place I always make a point of visiting is Nopalito's. I have frequented this restaurant for over 2 decades. We love it so much I've brought friends from Los Angeles here and made my husband from Texas a huge fan as well. The food has always been incredible and I DREAM of their green chile salsa in my sleep. This most recent trip when I visited during my high school reunion was the biggest disappointment for me. Looked at the menu and realized the prices had gone up a bit. Not surprising considering demand, so not a big deal. But then to my amazement I found out that the first itty bitty bowl of salsa is on the house, yet any additional bowl is about $2. What?! I've always figured that chips and salsa are included in any Mexican restaurant, so to find out my favorite salsa was now being charged broke my heart. I feel like this change is going to upset many Nopalito customers like myself. Almost makes me not want to make a visit anymore when I make a trip home.

Food is good nothing special. I would say the one thing that is not good is the service. It took almost 30

Super good food! The green chile is excellent. This place is my favorite Mexican food café in Las Cruces. Excellent red enchiladas. Good service to boot!

For the beginning of this review, I will be channeling my 12 year old because this is his favorite Mexican restaurant. He likes it because: 1. It doesn't take very long for the food to get to your table. The servers are very nice. 2. The food is really good, and it's impossible to not eat it all up. His favorite is the ground beef burrito. 3. It's extremely cheap and a good value. Taking the mike back from him, my take on Nopalito's is that it's a pleasant place for a quick lunch or dinner. The inside of the restaurant looks like a diner from the Mad Men era but it is clean, so that's OK. There are weird paintings on the walls like something from the Mexican school of Velvet Elvis Art. The best thing about Nopalito's food is the salsa. They bring out a little pot of heated green chile salsa. It is so good that I always just eat it with a fork. No chips, just salsa on a fork. The menu is pretty limited, but what they do, they do pretty well.

Nice interesting space. It's a converted church. It's very home like and the server are great extremely attentive. It was our waitress's first day and so it was a fun meal. Love the heated green chili. Did I say I loved it. I ordered the chili relleno plate and it was best I have had in Las cruces but not the best I have ever had. I have had 7 so far in various restaurants in las cruces. That's one of my test for Mexican food. He got the enchiladas plate and it was great and the chariozo was good. I will be back for the green chili.

This is my favorite Mexican spot every time I head back home. Now living in CA I crave it, and can't wait to head here the first chance I get across NM state lines. I absolutely LOVE the green chile salsa, especially when it comes out warm with the chips. My go to dish is always the stuffed sopapilla with a crisp chicken taco on the side. The beans and rice are excellent as well. You can taste the love in the food. I can't wait to get my fix!

As a Southern California, my expectations for Mexican food are high. My gf and I stopped here on our cross-country trip from the west coast to the east coast. Starving after having driven through some of the most beautiful roads of America, we stopped here. The food was okay. The salsa tasted like it came from a jar. Bleh.

No ambience, good food. Low-key local, delicious warm chile verde salsa and light chile rellenos. A lot for your money. Not sure why the other Nopalito on Mesquite street gets so many good reviews (it was closed when I went, but the owner was there and suggested I go to this (the other) location)...while this one got one bad review before mine. I can't imagine a pretentious waiter here...it's a formica table lunch crowd kind of place. Best New Mexican I've ever had? No. But pretty darn good.
