El Nopal’s menu is a feast for the senses, bringing bold flavors and authentic Mexican cuisine to the table. From sizzling fajitas to creamy queso dips, every dish is crafted with fresh ingredients and traditional recipes.
Start with the appetizers, where the cheese dip and guacamole Mexicano set the stage for a flavorful meal. If you’re in the mood for crunch, the nachos supreme loaded with beef, beans, cheese, and fresh toppings are a must-try. For something heartier, the fajita nachos—available with chicken, steak, shrimp, or even a Texas-style mix—deliver a smoky, grilled goodness that’s hard to resist.
Moving to the grill, Chori Pollo is a crowd favorite, featuring grilled chicken topped with chorizo and melted cheese. The Herradero Special offers a robust combination of steak, shrimp, and chicken, bringing the best of the grill to one plate. If you’re a steak lover, options like Steak Ranchero and Steak Mexicano come smothered in rich sauces and spices, creating a perfect blend of heat and flavor.
For taco enthusiasts, El Nopal serves up Tacos al Pastor, Juan’s Tacos, and Carne Asada Tacos, each packed with juicy, marinated meat and topped with fresh cilantro and onions. If you prefer an authentic street-style experience, the Street Tacos selection includes everything from carnitas to chorizo, each wrapped in a warm corn tortilla.
Seafood lovers will delight in dishes like Camarones al Mojo de Ajo, a garlicky shrimp dish, or the crispy Mojarra Frita, served whole for an eye-catching presentation. Meanwhile, the Shrimp Deluxe offers grilled or deep-fried shrimp for a satisfying coastal experience.
No Mexican meal is complete without burritos and enchiladas. The California Burrito is a standout, packed with steak, fries, cheese, and a special sauce, while the Enchiladas Verdes bring a tangy, tomatillo-based flavor explosion.
Round off your meal with a flan or a crispy, cinnamon-sugar sopapilla with ice cream. Pair it all with a house margarita, a Michelada, or a cold imported beer, and you have a dining experience that brings Mexico right to your table.
