" I have had mixed experiences at El Nopal. The food is good, no doubt about that, but there were times when the service felt lacking. I once had to wait a while for my check even when the restaurant wasn't full. Still, the salsa is fresh and the fajitas are vibrant, which makes up for any service lag. I would recommend this spot for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" Been visiting El Nopal for years, and I keep coming back for the same reason. The food is always fresh and bursting with flavor—especially the guacamole! I always think I can try something new, but I just can't resist my favorite dishes. The wait staff is friendly, though sometimes they seem rushed on busy nights. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was good, but I've had better. The flavors were muted compared to other places I've been. The service was a bit slow, yet the staff was polite. I think they might have been overwhelmed with customers when I was there. In terms of atmosphere, it had a nice vibe with colorful decor. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, El Nopal is the place to go! My friends and I had such a great time exploring different dishes together. The flavors really resonated with what I had experienced during my travels in Mexico. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I had a lovely dinner here last Friday. We tried different dishes to share and found every single one to be fantastic! We especially loved the chicken enchiladas and the shrimp tacos. The ambiance was cozy, perfect for a casual date night. We plan to return this weekend! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was a pleasant dining experience, albeit with a few hiccups with service timing. Our waiter was friendly but seemed stretched thin. The meal itself was delicious, especially the seafood platter! I thought the prices were a little high for what we got in terms of portion size, but overall, I left happy. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Nopal was not what I expected. The food didn't match the hype; I found it bland. The prices seemed a bit high for the quality and serving size. However, the atmosphere was pleasant and the staff tried hard to make it enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)
