“ Great food! Love the shrimp fajitas and fish tacos (love the spicy sauce)! Everytime in town it is a must go to! Family and staff that run the restaurant are super friendly! This place makes up for the horrible Atlanta traffic! A must go to place anytime! ”
“ So happy we found this restaurant! We had been on the road all day and wanted a place just off I75. I had tacos al pastor and they were amazing! Husband had the fajitas burrito and loved it! Great chips and salsa! I rate the salsa towards the top of salsas I've had. We'll be back! Thank you!!! ”
“ As we stumbled out of hobby town, we were enticed by the smell of the food coming from the restaurant next door and decided to try it. We walked in and were told to sit wherever we please. The service was friendly and prompt! The food tasted amazing and was remarkably affordable! 10/10 would recommend! this establishment will probably work its way into my regular rotation. Chicken quesadilla and chicken tacos were amazing. The chicken was tender and seasoned to perfection. The frozen mango margarita was amazing! I will definitely be back for some of their weekday margarita specials ”
“ Would definitely go back when I'm in town; good food, good service, fair prices. Only thing is the salsa was sweet, like they added sugar to it or something. Other than that, food waa delicious. I had the veggie fajitas and when I asked the server if meat broth or lard was used in the beans and rice or for any flavoring and she said no. That's important to me since I don't consume animal-derived products. ”
“ Went here on my dinner break from work...food was DELICIOUS! My server was very attentive and friendly! I will definitely be back with my family to try some other menu items! ”
“ I really loved this place! First time here and I'd love to come back. Food is very good quality (in my opinion) I got the quasadilla meal and the vegetables were so crisp and yumyum. The staff is super nice too and welcoming. Come here for good food and a nice little place to sit and relax. ”
“ I have been going to this place for years. The food has always been consistently good. Always served hot and fresh. The service has always been prompt and friendly. Definitely will continue to visit El Nopalito for my South of the Border cravings. ”
“ Came here on a Sunday around 5:30. The place was quaint and very clean, and the staff were very friendly and personable. We were asked to sit wherever we liked, which was a nice surprise since I’m hard of hearing so we could choose a quiet corner (the whole restaurant was quiet though - no music blasting here). The menu was pretty standard fare, but I got tacos al pastor and WOW were they delicious. Perfectly seasoned, served with half a lime (a full half!!!), pico de gallo/salsa fresca, and beans. My partner got a combo plate with a taco, a burrito, rice, and beans. Everything tasted so fresh and cooked to perfection. This place is truly a hidden gem!!!! I love it. Definitely in the top 10 of Mexican or Mexican-style restaurants that I’ve tried. ”
