Went here once and will never go again. I got shrimp tacos and my mother got beef tacos. Neither were seasoned ATALL and both were sloppily prepared. I don’t understand why anyone is calling this place authentic. It was boring and tasteless.

Easily the best Mexican restaurant on the Delmarva peninsula. It’s the little touches that made it worth the drive. Moist rice that actually tastes good, beans that are not overcooked, steamed corn tortillas, quick grill on the outside tortilla of the tacos, tender beef, and mole done just right. Craving authentic flavor? This is worth the pit stop.

Amazing tacos and tamales. We got the Mexican version of the tacos but they also have an «American» version. I would love to come back and try everything on the menu. A very nice woman helped us and the food was made quickly. Can’t beat the great prices.

Fantastic hole in the wall. Just a few sets of seats, but was pretty empty. I got the lengua(tongue) burrito. The burrito was done american style with lettuce and yellow cheese… this and/or something else kinda over-road the flavor of the lengua. Don’t get me wrong, it was still yummy… next time, I would get lengua in taco form to better savor the meat, and suggest you do the same. Also got the al pasto taco, which was incredible. Very yummy meat. If I recall correctly, the only other two meats are chicken and steak. Wish they had a few of the other offals you see at other mexican joints. You can beat these prices. They also sell pepsi made with sugar(no high fructose). That went very well with the meal.

Forget the multiple fake Mexican tolteca tonaltecas in Delaware. This place is legit. Delicious. Authentic. And the staff is very nice. They have horchata and taco de lengua. I’m in heaven.

This place has the most authenic mexican I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. The sauces are amazing, the tacos de lingua were tender and perfectly cooked and seasoned, steak tacos are to die for and the tomales are a MUSTTRY!!! We will be coming back weekly for dinner!

After reading reviews I had to come taste. Being a cali girl I love burritos. Since moving here to dover I haven’t had anything close to home. This place came close and was good. Great atmosphere. The burrito I ordered was good and had good flavor. I will definitely be a return customer.

Easily the most authentic Mexican restaurant in town. The fajitas are excellent, but my favorite are the tacos de lingua. Muy delicioso!

I chose a Mexican restaurant for this meal, because I was craving a margarita. Unfortunately, this place doesn’t offer margaritas. However, the food turned out to be wonderful. I tried three different tacos: chicken, pork, and steak(all Mexican style). All were excellent. Chicken was my favorite. I also ordered a tamale, and it was the best one I’ve found north of Texas.

By far the best Mexican food I have ever had. 100% authentic home cooked food. I had a steak burrito that was absolutely amazing. I also had a tamales that was so so good… oh and the homemade salsa… I could have ate just a bowl of that and been happy. Highly recommend.

Great Mexican Steak Tacos! My Wife and I were trying to find a Mexican place close to home and we found it! Nice small place to eat in or take out! The employees are very nice! Love the colors. Some of my favorite colors.

This place was alight. Nothing to write home about. I’m from Cali and my expectation for Mexican food is higher than most, but their tamales were merely okay, their rice was too dry and the beans were just, okay. I have a carne asada burrito and was so upset when I saw it yellow shredded cheese, Mexicans don’t use that stuff. Either way, I prefer Bibi’s taqueria in Milford!

Si Bueno is all I have to say! Delicioso. All ingredients fresh and savory. Highly recommend. Had the tacos azada and just as good as back home.

Excellent authentic tacos at very reasonable prices. I had the chicken tacos(Mexican style) and they were excellent. Could have lived without the rice and beans(refried beans and yellow rice). Free chips and salsa with my sit-down meal. Atmosphere very basic but clean and comfortable. Plenty off-street parking. I was there at an odd time — 3pm on a weekday — so it was super quiet. Quick service, very nice staff. Would def go back on my next trip through Dover.

Just moved to DE from San Antonio, TX and was having difficulty finding a decent Mexican restaurant. El Nopal is a diamond in the rough! We had the pork and chicken tacos(on corn tortillas! FINALLY!) as well as the camarones plate. You have to get the tacos«Mexican style» with cilantro and onions. The meat was excellent and flavorful. If you’re looking for homestyle Mexican food, this is your place.

After La Tonalteca, I had my doubts about Mexican food in Dover, but looking at the photo of El Nopal’s tacos should tell you all you need to know about the kind of Mexican food they’re serving. For starters, the menu is primarily in Spanish, and they include translations for those who can’t figure out what ‘frijoles’ and ‘arroz’ are. Not that you should order either of those things, because all you need are tacos. Four of them will set you pretty well, and with there only being four main proteins on offer, this works out pretty well. They ask you if you want your tacos Mexican style or American style, and if you don’t know the correct way to answer that question, then I can’t help you. Between the carne asada, lengua, pollo, and al pastor, the meats were not without their faults, but given their competition in the neighborhood, I’m not looking to split hairs here.
