Some patrons mention longer wait times on weekends, especially when the breakfast crowd peaks. A few also pointed out that the menu can feel overwhelming due to its variety, with 48 options to choose from. While the dining atmosphere is mostly cozy and casual, some diners prefer a more upscale vibe, which El Nopal does not aim to provide.

I arrived at 7 AM for breakfast. Eddie is the owner and he greeted me nicely. Started my morning with a couple cups of coffee and then I ordered something that you must try! The breakfast enchilada! I added hamburger meat, cheese, side salad, extra red chili And a tortilla on the side it came with beans and potatoes. I have marked this in my favorites so I can be sure come here as I only visit one to two times a year. Fortunately, I will be here in two weeks and will be joining Eddie for breakfast again as well, thank you Eddie for a wonderful breakfast and thank your mom for cooking!

Absolutely the best Barbacoa tacos, they are huge. The home salsa verde had a great kick and complemented the flavor of the beef. Homemade tortillas were pillows of heaven. Thank you so much.I going to take a nap🤗
