Nopalito’s

I have eaten here three times and it is very hit and miss. The Food is run of the mill and I think the quality you get is based on the server. Servers paying attention make sure your food is better and presents better. I suggest going during lunch over dinner.

Freaking AMAZING Mexican food WITH vegetarian dishes AND the owner can easily make them into vegan dishes… when you’re on that long stretch of country road… drive thrus and crap food… this will make your day!!! Fresh tasty seasoned perfect & very fluent so no feeling stupid trying to explain your dietary needs… HOWEVER. I couldn’t give them more than 3 stars because… uh…very important part of a restaurant, sanitation, and my overall rating experience; the bathrooms remind you of county jail… but with flies given the exception. great soap that cleans that little piece of hell from your hands before yu walk out & pretend it’s all good… seriously, that had to be fixed, no excuse, exception or logical reason why it hasn’t been… other than that, EXCEPTIONAL food!

My first review I’ll be honest this place is a typical Mexican restaurant loud and busy. The fact that it’s busy tells me it’s good or maybe there’s no other place open on Sunday’s that’s not fast food. If there’s bad service its not because they’re rude it’s just really busy. And with that said food takes a long time waiting 15 minutes or longer now. I ordered the Plato ranchero Jalisco it was good but the chicken was lacking in seasoning. Other than that they served a pretty big portion over a bed of rice. All the food is pretty greasy so unless your looking to pack on calories then I would probably suggest something else. My husband got the Carne Asada he said it was good. I ordered the taco plate for my son (the beef taco was greasy) it came with rice and beans. The beans and rice were delicious they tasted homemade. We were just passing by on a road trip. Would we come again probably not its just too busy and service was not great because of that. But it was decent food.

Traveling to Branson; stopped in for dinner. So glad we did! Family owned. Great atmosphere. Yummy food. Fast service. Very attentive to us. Had nachos & chicken chimichanga. Plain cheese dip was delish. Nothing was too spicy. $ 27 for two, including 2 sodas & $ 5 tip.

Love the food! Service has been bad lately and if you don’t leave a tip they cuss you out in Spanish. I still love this place.

Last three times there the food and service has been great. My mom didn’t like the taco salad. She couldn’t even eat it. I still say nachos Mexicanos is the best!!!

Good, standard, greasy Tex-​Mex! There is a huge menu that has all the staples you’d expect: burritos, tacos, fajitas. I ordered a shrimp chimichanga and my friend had shrimp, chicken and steak fajitas. We also ordered a side of cheese sauce. Everything was delicious! The chips were fresh and the salsa was tasty. Our server was very friendly and kept my water filled. Some reviews said that the service was slow and they were slow to seat people, but it seemed like a pretty busy night when I was there and we had neither of those problems!

Best food EVER!!! When I want delicious Mexican food, this is where I go. I have lived in Texas and California, and no where have I found the dishes to hold a candle to Nopalito’s menu. Also it’s easy to park, and the staff is very friendly.

Chips and salsa were great! Hot & fresh chips with great Queso is reason why they received three stars instead of two because past that point I was very disappointed. My plate was their special with steak, chicken & shrimp. The steak & chicken were sad thin strips of leather by the time I got them. The shrimp flavor wasn’t very good either. My friend got the 12oz ribeye, it came out COVERED in onions. When he cut into it, the meat was white. Not really even sure it was a ribeye as I was supposed to be. He didn’t eat it or take it to go. My kids had tacos and one liked them and the other did not. If I could give advice… definitely stick with traditional, simple things like enchiladas & tacos.

Do not get the carne asada tacos. Great flavor but tough as shoe leather. Chips and salsa was good.

Beef Fajitas stringy & tough with not one bit of Mexican flavor, although it did have nice strips of yellow & red bell pepper & onions. The flour tortillas were good, but the chips & salsa were just mediocre. My husband had 4 tasteless enchiladas. Cheese, chicken, beef & a refried bean. All covered with sauce, but he struggled to even eat part of them.

Nopalitos is a family favorite of ours. We love the food and the service. Their queso is amazing and every time I make the trip to harrison to see family, I have to eat here! Go… Go now!

Service was a bit slow, but food made up for it. Had the chicken fajita quesadilla.
