Basically the best Mexican restaurant on this side of town in every possible way. The chips were warm ( they are usually cold in town ). The portion on meat content was more than enough. Service is way better than a lot of places these days. Good ambience and the music isn't set very loud like some places.

I took my Mom to LaNopalera's and had a grand time The hostess that seated us was prompt and attentive She further helped bring out the food which was delicious. McKynlie, our server, was very professional and vibrant. The food was delicious! If You like seeing a plate of steaming and sizzleing Fajitas Texanas brought out to You while nurseing a margarita, then this is the place for You!

I have been a fan of this particular location for years. Went in again tonight and was far from disappointed. McKinnely who served me tonight was an absolute delight ... sweet, attentive, and always on point. And the quality of the food is just as I remembered it. I will always sing the praises of La Nopalera on St. John's!

Ordered through Uber. The food arrived hot and amazing. Really quick. I was shocked by the size of portions. The food was amazing. Superb value. Ordered the California Burrito, Fajita Nachos, and 2 soft tacos was the order. Bring your appetite for either the California Burrito or Fajita Nachos. The first pic is Fajita Nachos, chip separate with soft tacos. The second pic is California Burrito with soft tacos. Third is pic is 2 soft tacos. By the pics you see how big the portions are.
