" El Nogal has disappointed me on several visits, though I kept going back in hope things would improve. The service is good; I can’t fault them there. But I recently ordered the carne asada plate, and the meat was too tough for my liking, and the beans tasted bland. I love supporting local businesses, so I might try them for breakfast next time. Over the years, they have had a solid reputation, and I hope they get back to it. " (*Curated Review*)

" On a whim, I decided to try El Nogal for lunch and was not disappointed! The fideo was delicious, probably my favorite dish there! My only regret was not trying the tacos. The service was a bit slow, but that’s to be expected at lunch hour. I felt welcomed by the staff, and the atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming. I look forward to returning and trying out more dishes as I hear great things about their breakfast items! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited El Nogal with my family after hearing such great things. Honestly, I was excited but a little skeptical given past experiences with so-called authentic places. However, El Nogal exceeds expectations. We started with chips and salsa, and wow, the salsa had the perfect balance of spice and flavor—definitely homemade! I had the fideo with my meal instead of rice, which my server recommended, and it was fantastic. Each dish felt crafted with care, and the portions were generous without being overwhelming. My family left impressed and satisfied. El Nogal is now on our rotation for Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to try something different, so I opted for the chilaquiles at El Nogal. It was an excellent choice! The flavors were vibrant, and the textures were delightful. When I visited, the service was friendly and quick, making it a comfortable dining experience. It's a small restaurant that has a big impact on the local food scene. If you're into authentic Mexican food, this is a place I would highly recommend. Definitely plan to come back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for tasty tacos, El Nogal is where you need to go! The carne guisada is packed with flavor, and the tortillas are fresh! I've brought my family for breakfast several times, and each visit has been delightful. The staff is attentive and really make your experience enjoyable. The only downside is the small dining area, but it's cozy and charming. I can't wait to go back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about El Nogal from friends, I decided to give it a try. It’s a quaint little place tucked away from the main drag, kind of a hidden treasure. The staff welcomed me with smiles, and the menu was bursting with authentic Mexican options. I ordered the carne guisada and was blown away by how tender and flavorful the meat was. The homemade tortillas paired perfectly with the dish. It brought me back to my childhood dinners at my grandma's house. It's a perfect stop if you’re looking for true Mexican flavors without the tourist markup. I'll definitely be back for more! Five stars all the way. " (*Curated Review*)

" Though I was drawn in by the concept of homemade tortillas, I ended up finding my new favorite Mexican restaurant here at El Nogal. The salsas are vibrant, and all the dishes I’ve tried have been bursting with flavor. I recommend the breakfast burrito with carne asada—so good! The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere that makes it feel like home. I can’t wait to bring my friends so they can taste this goodness. You won’t regret visiting! " (*Curated Review*)
