El Nopal

My girlfriend and I are pretty regular here. We enjoy the food and love that is has TVs if there is a sport event on we didn’t wanna miss. The reason I can’t give this a five star is because we once had a major service issue and it was the kind you do not forget. We still go here and enjoy our food but are careful to check our food and server.

Always a fave! Great staff, friendly, reasonably priced! Large portions! Love this place!

My go to for Mexican food. Better than Taco Bell and they have a full bar. Become a regular and get the VIP treatment. Nice bar and you can usually control the remote.

I’m a regular at El Nopal — from Florence through the old one that use to be in Frankfort, but especially at Eastern Parkway and Zorn Avenue. This is one of the better El Nopals, and should definitely have a higher rating.
The décor is the same as 90% of El Nopals, and 90% of all Mexican restaurants — yellow, stucco-​ish walls, lots of ceramic cacti and lizards, etc. One nice feature (that reminds me of the Westport Road location) is a separated bar. You know what that means, right? Yup, I can have a few too many beers or margaritas without bothering all the little kiddos whose parents bring them in for the a la carte menu!
The service at this location is good, but not spectacular. The food, however, is much better than at many of the other locations. In particular, they make a dish that I can’t find at any other El Nopal — pollo cascada! Trust me, it’s well worth the moderate price of the dish… chicken, cauliflower, broccoli, green beans, slices of baby carrots, etc all on rice and smothered in white queso. It is truly one of the best dishes I’ve ever had in a Mexican restaurant, and I wish that all El Nopals would add it to their menu.
If you’re actually in La Grange for, well whatever-​on-​Earth happens in that little place, then this is the best place to stop!

Our waiter had a few problems with getting drinks wrong but we went on a Wednesday night and they have an Elvis impersonator there on that night. He was hilarious and made eating there a ton of fun!

Ordered carryout, the nachos were inedible, the carnitas were overcooked. I won’t be back.

Nachos are good. The fajitas were very bland. I actually had to add salt, pepper and squeeze a lemon to give flavor. I would never eat here again.

Best Mex in la grange. But that is like the best Yugo ever made. Still isn’t real Mexican food. The carne asada tacos are the closest to the real thing. Get a side of guacamole to put on the tacos and it tastes good. It will cost you $ 13 for the tacos and a side of guac. The rest of the food is the same bland crap you can find at any «authentic Mexican» place in the region.

Great service!!!

It is good and the Mon-​Sat lunch prices are great, especially for the amount of food you get. It isn’t my go-​to place for «real» Mexican, but I can’t complain about the quality of the good. The shredded chicken and shredded beef that are in a lot of the items are both juicy and flavorful. I’m pretty sure I’ve had a least 5 bowls of the tortilla soup this month between this location and one in Louisville.
Service is friendly and fast, plus no one bats an eye when we come in wearing riding clothes and covered in hay and horse hair, sweat, and yuck.
