" Nopalitos is a hidden gem. The ambiance is welcoming, and the food is bursting with flavor. My chorizo and egg dish was cooked perfectly. Plus, they have a salsa bar with various options which is great. The cash-only policy caught me off guard, but it’s worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about Nopalitos. I really enjoyed my hot chocolate and the warm service, but my breakfast burrito felt lacking in seasoning. However, I'll likely give it another try as the atmosphere is inviting. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is easily one of my top spots for breakfast! The portions are generous and very affordable. I had the old classic, the breakfast burrito, and it had a fantastic flavor. Their service is quick and friendly. Just be sure to find an ATM if you forget cash—it’s definitely not worth missing out on! " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful experience at Nopalitos! The breakfast menu is a dream come true for any huevos rancheros lover. I enjoyed mine smothered in both green and red sauce. I appreciated the friendly service, which felt personal. The only downside is that they don’t take cards, but the food is so authentic that it makes you forget about the inconvenience. " (*Curated Review*)

" The staff is what really sets Nopalitos apart! The convival atmosphere combined with a strong sense of community makes it a must-visit. I had a massive tamale plate, and it was stuffed with flavor. Each visit leaves me wanting more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the polenta breakfast and it was absolutely stunning. The blend of flavors was just right! The place is small but the atmosphere is gripping. The only thing I would bring up is that the tables could be a bit more spaced out. " (*Curated Review*)

" This hole in the wall is perfect if you're looking for authentic breakfast in a cozy environment. Every bite I took of my chilaquiles was delightful, especially when complemented by their homemade salsa. The decor is simple yet inviting, making it an excellent place for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)
