This was our third stop at Simpsonville. This is one of those ubiquitous cookie-cutter family Mexican places that we tend to find in about every town in the US. It is not spectacular, but it is also just fine. We have eaten at dozens of places like this. I continue to order eggs in Mexican restaurants, and again was not disappointed by my Huevos Rancheros. I liked the salsa they were cooked with very much. The lunch serving is three eggs with beans and rice, half of which made it to KDH and made a good dinner a couple of nights later. La Gringa, Ms T, ordered her usual ground beef taco(s). This time she ordered just one and they almost forgot to put ground beef in it Again, if you are looking for a typical family Mexican place while driving in the area, I think El Nopal is worth a try. Depending on how we are feeling, we will stop again or visit their sister place in Shelbyville.

We finally hopped in for lunch, and glad we did! It is now my husband's favorite in Shelbyville…read more(which says a lot!). Service was good, not exceptional, but we also weren't in the mood to be hovered over. The place was very clean, and they were cleaning while we were there. It was not crowded, we snagged a table immediately and had water within a minute. The music selection was interesting, ranging from traditional Hispanic to Snoop and Dre, but I didn't mind (he didn't notice until I started to dance). The menu is vast! From the basic burrito to more adventurous (tongue and feet). A few people stopped in for carry out orders while we were there as well. We will definitely be back!

Love this place downtown Shelbyville. A very neat downtown area. Parking is usually an issue but…read moretoday it wasn't. This is probably my third or fourth trip in. There are two entrances one in the front and the rear entrance where there is an outdoor eating patio area. Way too cold for that. Neat historical building. Seated immediately as they do a great job of getting you in and out. This is a local hangout and just a great place downtown to have a business lunch. Felt like trying something new and this had the "new" label on it. It was enormous. Way more than I could handle. Contains shrimp, scallops, chicken and chopped steak. The cactus leaves were delicious. It was delicious but more of a two serving dish. Good date night meal. The chips were crispy and the salsa is also great. The sweet tea was also amazing.

What a wonderful meal and experience!…read more My husband and I were in town on vacation and stopped in for some Mexican. Although they were busy, we were greeted and seated immediately. Our waiter took our orders and immediately brought chips and salsa. Our food came out quickly. It was delicious and everything was hot and flavorful.

If you are looking for delicious Mexican, superior service and an overall welcoming vibe, make sure to stop in. My only regret is that this restaurant isn't in my hometown. You will not be disappointed if you visit!

Don't let the location or lack of parking deter you. This is authentic, delicious, hot and fresh Mexican food. We order the ceviche and the Molcajete for dinner along with the giant Corona Familiar and DosXX lager. We are leaving full and watered and happy and our pocket hasn't been picked. Beer is $10 for 32 oz bottle. My dinner was $15 and $16.99. And we have left overs of both. So that's pretty spectacular. Please don't let this business fail. It's too good to pass by. Staff is awesome. Owner is genuinely amazing. My tortillas were homemade. The tostadas taste fresh too. Ceviche was freshly made. Molcajete was stuffed plumb full and would serve two easily.

Best chicken I've ever tasted, not to sound dramatic! I suggest trying those and the Marimba Steak Fries. Their margaritas are also amazing. I find the Texas Margarita to be the most refreshing and tasty, so definitely give that one a try. Their prices also aren't insane like all the other restaurants around which is a HUGE plus. Now for the service; these people treat you like FAMILY if you treat them respectfully. They will learn your name and your order in a very short amount of time. I go there often and am always greeted with warm smiles and even a few hugs. It feels so safe there and the ambiance is fun and peaceful. Oh, they also have the best outdoor patio around these parts. It's huge, welcoming, and amazing to sit out there and get some sun on nice days. You definitely won't be disappointed going here, enjoy!

It hurts to hit the three star review but our most recent visit was very sub par…read more We came hungry and ready to unwind with a margarita, it was the cinco de mayo holiday and we wondered if there were any specials. We were told no, but there was a sign on the door showing free queso for the day of May 5. So we ordered two margaritas at $10 a piece, asked about the free queso and was then told oh yes it is free, and then ordered tacos to share. The margarita was served in a hot (fresh out of the dishwasher) glass, the rim was not salted and with five melting ice cubes. The mix concentrated at the bottom and the tequila added on top. It was not a good margarita, and my husband's was the same. The queso came out and it was like warm and still cold around the edges but hot in the core. The tacos were delicious. So it was a conflicting visit, as we were given the check I noted it charged for the queso. As I went to pay I noted the queso price and inquired about it being free for the day. He said oh yes if you mentioned it, then it gets taken off. That didn't sit with me well, because not everyone may question it. All in all we have come here a lot over the years and had some great times but maybe this is not the best place for the cinco de mayo holiday. It may be awhile before we are back again.

Go get a cheese dip, a strawberry daiquiri and the mixed burritos, you won't regret it.
