Took a little while to get the check but they were on it during the main service. The ambiance is excellent. Lots of old world charm and they usually keep some doors open for that quintessential indoor/outdoor euro-vibe. Street parking wasn't too hard to find at 530 PM on a weekday and parking is like .35 cents since it's free after 6. The food though was nowhere approaching Spain quality I'll tell you. Even looking at the food items here I'm pretty sure you can just tell. A potential caveat here is we only had vegetarian items so can't speak to the meat but honestly 9.5 times out of 10 if the veggie options are great so is the rest of the food... just sayin'. MAYBE in the future I'd come back for a tapas or two and a drink prior to going to a show at Metro Gallery but I wouldn't order too much or go out of my way.

The service was attentive throughout dinner. Servers were always available and kept our glasses topped up with sangria, which was extremely tasty. We also shared oysters Rockefeller, and those were great. I ordered Vieras y Langostinos al Cava, the scallops and jumbo shrimp in Champagne sauce, and really enjoyed it. My partner had Bogavante, Nécora y Langostinos, the lobster, crab, and shrimp combination, and enjoyed hers as well. Another couple in our group shared the Paella a la Valenciana. They loved it, and the portion was huge. The atmosphere was okay, but the food, sangria, and attentive service were the highlights of the evening. Overall, a good experience for our group dinner.

What they do serve is not good. Nearly 50% of the menu items were American. The beans are soupy, the chicken and steak are bland, and the salsa is watery. A Velveeta-like cheese sauce was used on nachos. They give about two cups of rice with each plate, about 1/4 of a cup of sour cream, and a cup of shredded wet lettuce. It is freezing cold and smoky in the restaurant. The smoke from the kitchen all creeps into the dining area. The seats, booths, tables, and decor were all outdated and old. I had to go home and immediately wash my hair and clothes (including the jacket I wore while dining because it was freezing). My husband, who is normally hot also had to put on a jacket. I was looking forward to this new place; was sadly disappointed. It was bad; really bad. I doubt El Nopal will stay in business long. Single Pro: a bartender the night I went made a good margarita.

We both got a glass of wine and ordered two small plates to share. After quite a while of waiting for our food, the bartender checked to ask what we had ordered. He had forgotten to put our order through and to apologize, gave us a bit more wine to compensate which was super appreciated. Our dishes came out quickly once they were placed. We had gotten the Beef Empanadas and Dumpling Squash Beignets. The beignets weren't what we were expecting but were delicious. They were fried balls with squash cooked inside - very tasty. The empanadas were just as good with plenty of beef and a great aioli. All around, an amazing first experience here. The ambience was lively and service was great. Food and drink specials were just as amazing. We will definitely be back!

I had the rainbow trout for entree, for which the cuts were coming up short so they asked if shrimp was ok to add. I enjoyed the flavor of the shrimp, but I think the fish lacked seasoning- it was the only plate I didn't enjoy. Had the Aim to spark cocktail, a very well balanced drink! I'd visit again!

Normally I give restaurants one star who pass business fees onto their customers but please read on ......We've been dining here since they first opened, and it's the only Spanish restaurant in the area. The food is consistently good, and I love the small plates, and the uniqueness of the menu. It's the kind of food and dining experience I can't find anywhere else locally. Over the years, we've enjoyed their various dishes as well as their selection of unique Spanish wines, although they are a bit pricey. The service is always good, and we've consistently left feeling satisfied. However, on our most recent visit, I noticed a 3% credit card surcharge on the menu. After years of loyal patronage, it's disappointing and insulting to see this added charge. When you're already tipping over 20% and purchasing expensive bottles of wine, adding another 3% just to pay by credit card feels excessive. I really wish this practice would be made illegal. Restaurants are already charging customers for their food and drinks, and we're contributing to their operating costs through our purchases and tips. At this rate, between the meal prices, generous tips, and added fees, we must be silent partners in half the restaurants around here! Please stop charging this fee for the love of God. I would give you five stars but I cannot give a business five stars who pass their business/admin fees on to customers, especially after so many years of eating here. What a disappointment.
