El Nopal

Margaritas on point… hikes point! No, fo real, strongest margarita around and Mexican comfort at its best. You always know what to expect and are rarely disappointed. #good #cheap #meal

The food was good but the service was lacking. We were only one of 4 tables seated at the time so they weren’t busy. We ordered our drinks and our food at the same time but 15 minutes late we still didn’t have our drinks. We had to remind the waitress we didn’t receive them.
When I got my fajitas the portion was skimpy compared to other Mexican restaurants I have eaten at. I was disappointed in the portions. We also ran out of salsa and asked for more. She forgot and we had to remind her again.
Over all the food was mediocre and the service was lacking.

All my friends say it’s terrible but I like this place. They’re food taste good to me, better than any of the other Mexican places here. They’re salsa is good and they have white cheese queso, which is amazing. Service is also very quick.

There is much better Mexican choices in Louisville. This place is within walking distance of my house, which is the only reason I visit.
The food is nothing special. Everything I’ve tried has been pretty bland. The prices are high unless you order from the a la carte section. The service is friendly, but not more so than any other Mexican place. I’ve found the service is always nice at Mexican restaurants.
They sometimes have good deals on beer and margaritas, so that’s the only reason I’ve found to return.

I know there are a chain of these around town. This is the first one I’ve eaten. Service was fast and good. The food was great. I’ll eat there again. The one thing that stood out to me the most, was how clean it that place was, especially the bathroom. I will be back.

Best El Nopal in Louisville.
Pours are heavy. The food is cheap but great.
Sometimes the customer service is bad. It can be slow and not so good.
Go on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Excellent Dinner spot. Quick with the chips and drinks. Specials almost every night. The place is very clean and well kept. The staff is friendly. They have an extensive menu. Loads of combinations. Food is very well prepared and the seafood specialties are not to be missed. Yum!

One of my favorite places for lunch. Consistently on the spot with the food all the time. Great service and family atmosphere. Superfast service and great prices!

Get together frequently with a good friend for lunch here. They have best chips and salsa & some of the hottest sauces for your entrees. I love the chicken taco salad and the chicken tortilla soup. Very good margaritas. Mon & Wed specials — 12 oz. margaritas are $ 1.99.

mmmm. Went there for lunch and I had the crab quesadilla lunch special which comes with rice and I ordered a half sized queso because I didn’t think the quesadilla was quite cheesy enough. That made it perfect. My co-​worker ordered some chicken with rice and cheese. He loved it. We both had so much leftover that we would have enough for two meals each. Service was fast and friendly.

Weird setup for any restaurant, which could be overcome with good food. Unfortunately the food fell short and ended up being below average Mexican food. There are much better places to get Mexican food in the city, some even in a trailer. Not somewhere I will be going back to anytime soon

I’ve been going to El Nopal for my Mexican fix since 2009. I always go on a Monday where they have their lime margaritas priced at only $ 1.99 each. The place is clean and the servers are very nice. They all remember us too and they already know what we’re getting the moment they see us coming through the door. They greet us with a smile and would joke around us most of the time.
My all time favorites here are the Chori Pollo and the Quezo Fundido. They are pretty much the same thing except that the chori pollo has chorizo, chicken, quezo and rice while the quezo fundido has only quezo and chorizo. They are both served with tortillas.
I would occasionally get their beef/​chicken soft tacos, which are also very good. I got disappointed the last time I went though as they have changed their recipe for it. Unlike before when it was just meaty and cheesy, it’s now wet and runny with onions in it. I hope it was just a one time thing because I really like those. :(
Nevertheless, I’ve tried other Mexican restos for Margarita Mondays but nothing compares to El Nopal!

always great food and service. I love their salsa and chips. great lunch deals!

I’ve been to other El Nopal Restaurans and they were fine but Run… do not walk… away from this one. To begin with, there was a roaming hispanic singer with a guitar who was extremely loud, I mean SCREAMING LOUD!!! Very annoying. Then the food came. Very bland and dry. Not much sauce on anything. The best thing about the meal was the chips and salsa!!! So sorry… I’ll go to another Mexican restaurant next time.
