" El Nopalito is my go-to for breakfast in New Braunfels. Their breakfast burritos are huge and packed with flavor. The salsa they serve on the side is fresh and adds the perfect kick. Service is usually quick, and my order is always right. However, the place can get crowded during peak hours, so I suggest going early. Overall, highly recommended for anyone in the area looking for a hearty breakfast! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful kitchen! I had amazing chicken enchiladas with a side of beans and rice. The flavors just pop! The tortillas were soft and fresh, truly reflecting the authenticity of the dishes. My only complaint was the temperature of my soup; it came lukewarm. However, the overall experience was fantastic, and I plan to recommend it to everyone I know. I'm excited to come back with friends and share these dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations but was a bit disappointed with my recent visit to El Nopalito. While the food isn't bad, it felt a little heavy-handed with the spices and I didn't quite get the authentic feel I was hoping for. The tortillas were fresh, sure, but the flavor profile just lacked the balance I’ve experienced in other restaurants. Service was friendly but a bit slow given the crowd. I might give it another shot, but I think I'll try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited El Nopalito and was blown away by their breakfast tacos! The homemade tortillas are fluffy and delicious. I also loved the chorizo; it tasted authentic and incredibly flavorful. The staff was super friendly and went out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful experience. The only downside was the wait time; it was a bit busy when we arrived, but the food made it worth it. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was in New Braunfels for vacation and saw great reviews of El Nopalito, so I had to try it! I ordered the carne asada tacos and they were simply fantastic! The flavors were a burst of freshness and the tortillas were made right in-house. The only downside was the slight delay in service since it was quite busy, but the staff were friendly and apologized for the wait. I’ll definitely return when I’m in town again!

" Highly recommend El Nopalito! Their breakfast tacos never fail to impress. I had the bacon, egg, and cheese taco, and it was delightful. They are always packed, which speaks volumes about the quality. The service has been good in my experience, but expect a wait during busy hours. Overall, the authenticity and taste make it a must-visit for any taco lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, just wow! My family and I visited El Nopalito last week and it was absolutely fantastic. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to order. I tried the fajita burrito, and it was exploding with taste. My kids had the quesadillas, which they devoured. The atmosphere was vibrant and busy, really giving off that local community feel. We will definitely be back for more authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)
