Nopalito

The Mexican food and drinks here are fantastic. I came with a group of friends for brunch and we all tried different dishes. Every single plate was flavorful and well prepared. The vibrant atmosphere and great service made the experience even better. I will definitely be coming back.

Im not very experienced in Mexican food, but this is one of the very best I've ever had. We started with a nice sweet nutty and creamy almond horchata. So refreshing. Then we ordered the fish tacos, quesadilla with chicharron and the birra main. The fish taco was sublime. Pun on the lime. It was so flavorful and delicious. The quesadilla was unusual. The soft taco layer was fried to a crisp shell with pulled pork and lovely chicharron overflowing. So juicy crunchy and umami. The birra was a pulled beef dish with rice. So good and filling. This is my favorite Mexican food place.

A really disappointing experience for me, despite the very nice and friendly service. I got the tortillas and enchiladas. The portions were huge, but in terms of flavors, they were severely lacking. The tortillas were easily replicable with store bought ingredients. The most shocking to me was the rice, which was really flavorless except for the starch, no matter how hard I tried to taste it. The mole was also disappointing, and I love mole. Given the price and ratings, I expected much more. I’m really sorry to say this and I mean no harm to the business, but that was my objective experience. I ate a third of my food, nicely packed the rest, and gave it away.

The carne asada with chorizo is amazing!! The carnitas are delicious too. Along with the curtido, pickled vegetables! We only get take out so can’t speak to in service.

My wife and I had a great experience at Nopalito. The meal started strong with the totopos con chile—bold, smoky, and spicy, perfectly balanced by the salsa and queso cotija. The tacos de pescado were excellent, with just the right balance of heat and acidity. The quesadilla roja con chicharrón was a standout—crispy, rich, and deeply satisfying. We finished with a traditional arroz con leche, which hit the spot. Tip: Share everything.
