" El Nopal has a fast-casual environment which is perfect for lunch breaks. I’ve tried several menu items, and while I enjoyed their chicken flautas, I felt my friend’s shrimp tacos were a little overcooked. We both enjoyed the fresh salsa and warm chips that were served to us right away. The portions are generous, but I wish they would focus more on consistency. Overall, a decent experience but not without its flaws. Worth a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" I haven't had the best luck with El Nopal. On one visit, I ordered the fajitas and thought they tasted bland and just okay. The service was fine, but it didn't make up for the lack of flavor in my meal. However, during a recent lunch visit, I decided to give it another chance and discovered their spicy chicken tacos are a delightful surprise! Super flavorful and just the right amount of spice. So, while my experience has been hit or miss, I'm willing to keep trying for those tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" I find myself returning to El Nopal for their quick service and quality food. Despite being in the Ramada, the restaurant itself is rather charming with its vibrant decor. The nachos are a great starter and the portion sizes are massive compared to what you pay, which is a big win for me. I usually go for the enchiladas which are a safe bet. Though my experience is generally positive, I feel they could elevate their drinks menu a bit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a huge fan of El Nopal! The food is consistently excellent, and my personal favorite is the sizzling shrimp platter. They always get my order right, and I appreciate the fact that they remember my preferences—they treat you like family! The portions are huge, which makes it a great value. This place always delivers a great experience whether I try or take out. I definitely plan on coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Nopal is a mixed bag for me. Some dishes are fantastic while others leave me wondering about their quality control. The taco salad I ordered was more like a mishmash of ingredients rather than a well-executed dish. However, their carne asada tacos were incredible - juicy and full of flavor! The service staff was polite and attentive, but not very knowledgeable about the menu. I'd recommend it for a casual night out, but not for anything too fine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to El Nopal for dinner, and we had a great time. The wait was a little long at first, but once we got seated, the staff was incredibly polite and attentive. Their kids' menu is terrific and my daughter loved the quesadillas! I had the enchiladas which were savory and rich. The portions are great for families, allowing us to share delicious food without breaking the bank. I’m grateful for the overall experience and will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated our anniversary at El Nopal and were very impressed! The restaurant has a charming environment, with colorful decor that immediately set the mood. We started with the guacamole, which was fresh and flavorful, and for our mains, we both had the fajitas. They arrived sizzling and were filled with perfectly cooked chicken and veggies. Portions were generous, too! Our server was attentive and friendly, making our experience memorable. Do not miss out on their margaritas—they're the best I've had in a long time!
