Nopalito - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was truly exceptional. My family, visiting from out of town, chose this place based on its website and menu, and it exceeded all expectations. The food was even better than I remembered, particularly the two calabasas dishes, the enchiladas mole, and the beautifully presented little gem salad. The restaurant offers a large vegetarian selection with at least seven dishes available, and even the chicken mole could be made vegetarian. The atmosphere and service were both rated a perfect 5, and there was plenty of parking in the free lot. We experienced no wait time, and the noise level was moderate. It's a highly recommended spot, especially for vegetarians.

My experience at this restaurant was excellent. I enjoyed the slightly upscale Mexican food, and they have a great mezcal selection. The totopos were a definite hit, and the chicharon quesadilla was absolutely Delicious. The atmosphere and service were both top-notch, receiving a perfect score of 5.

My experience at Nopalito was perfect. The food was thoughtful and impeccable, the service was upbeat, and the vibe was great. Considering the quality, the prices were good. My go-to dishes are the Market Salad and Enchiladas Mole, but honestly, everything is special. May it live on forever.

This was hands down one of my favourite restaurant experiences ever. The service was spot on, with everyone sporting a contagious smile that truly enhanced the entire experience. The food was absolutely amazing, especially the homemade tortillas and quesadillas, which were a delightful surprise, particularly at this price point. I can't wait to return in a few years and hopefully enjoy this place once again. Thank you, merci, from France!

My experience at this restaurant was incredibly disappointing. I suspect the food is frozen and simply heated up, which is unacceptable given the incredibly over priced nature of the dishes. The portions were minuscule, not even enough for a child. The servers were overly bubbly initially, but I overheard them talking negatively about customers once they thought no one was listening. I strongly advise against coming here; instead, support an actual Mexican restaurant with authentic food.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. Having lived in Mexico, I can say that the food is solid Mexican cuisine. It's a great option if you're sensitive to spicy food, which is a definite plus. However, the service was a significant letdown. I really don't see the point in the waiters; they weren't helpful and didn't do much beyond bringing the food. They also don't seem to be open to substitutions, which can be frustrating if needed. The atmosphere was rated a 4, suggesting it was pleasant, and there was no wait time, which is always appreciated.

My experience at this restaurant was a mix of delightful flavors and challenging ambiance. I ordered the mole poblano enchiladas, and they were truly delicious. The mole itself was rich, nutty, and on the sweeter side, which I personally enjoyed. The accompanying rice was also excellent, with the carrots reminding me of comforting, homemade meals. To drink, I had the guava margarita, which was refreshing and perfectly balanced in sweetness. However, the atmosphere was a significant drawback. I visited around 6: 30 pm on a Friday, and the place was busy and loud, which is expected but unfortunately distracting. While ordering via QR code was convenient, it felt a bit unpersonable. I also found it difficult to get a server's attention when I had questions about the menu, which was a point of frustration for me.

My experience at Nopalito was underwhelming and extremely disappointing. We had been wanting to visit for years, even owning their cookbook, but the reality fell short. The entrance was confusing, with no clear host, and the service throughout the meal was disjointed and practically non-existent. Ordering is done via QR codes, leaving no opportunity to ask questions about the dishes. We weren't checked on, and I had to flag someone down for basic necessities like napkins. The food itself was overpriced and under seasoned. My birria was bland, tasting only of stewed meat with no salt and a muted chile profile. The accompanying onions and cilantro were meager, and the salsa was essentially tomato sauce. The rice was just okay. My wife's mole enchiladas were decent, though a bit too sweet with the plantain. Drinks were also a letdown; canned beers at $9 felt lazy, and my house margarita was essentially just lime juice for $15, with no discernible orange liqueur or tequila. The lack of a server meant no recourse for these issues. For $100, it was a lackluster meal that simply wasn't worth it, and the poor service spoiled what could have been a decent experience for my wife. Overall, a big fat meh.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food quality was undeniably high, but the price was absolutely insane. For one quesadilla, an order of guacamole and chips, and a Horchata, the bill came to $41. This was just so incredibly expensive and, in my opinion, not worth it.

I absolutely love this place! It has been my absolute favorite Mexican restaurant in San Francisco for the past 10 years. The food is consistently excellent, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is wonderful. I highly recommend it!
