El Nopal

Food was great and service was fast. Price is cheap for the amount you get. I will go again and highly reccommend it to my friends.

El Nopal is another in the series of similar Mexican restaurants around the Atlanta area: El so and so and so and so. It’s always confused me why these places all have the same menus even though they are not owned by the same folks. A #4 at El Nopal gets you the exact same thing it does at Los Reyes and at El Toro.
Why is this? Is it a Mexican mandate? Could I go to gulf and get the same thing by holding up four fingers?
El Nopal does variate from its relatives by the fact that it’s about 10% cheaper than anywhere else I’ve noticed, and yet at the same time tastes a little better. Clean, fresh, cheap Mexican food: who doesn’t love that?
This location also has a nice little patio that is open when the weather permits.
