This is one of my favorite restaurants, but I only get to go there when my Mother and I are in Terrell to visit my Uncle and Aunt. The service is always good and I have never had a bad meal. Their prices are very reasonable. I give them an A+. read more

Yesterday Saturday June 8, 24 , 5pm I ordered a chile Relleno, it was 15.00. It had some orange looking sauce on it that tasted like enchilada sauce! I called and there was no manager available. I was told the enchilada sauce was ranchero sauce lol. It was horrible! I won't be back, Rio Lerma, here we come! read more

All four of us ordered something different and everyone was satisfied beyond their expectations. I had the Chimichanga. read more

El Nogalito - The Chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Terrell, Texas

Good food, well prepared at a reasonable price. A pleasure. El Nogalito is a nice family style restaurant located in picturesque downtown Terrell Texas. Tends to be a little busy at lunch but their efficient staff will get you in and out without being rushed so your cheapskate boss won't have a reason to berate you for being 10 minutes late getting back from lunch. read more

Might be one of the better places for Tex-Mex in town here. Fajitas were good, but I don't recommend the shrimp at all. Very underwhelmed with it. Everything else I tried from other plates were good and had a pretty good authentic taste to it. Very good salsa though! read more

El Nogalito - Trio Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Terrell, Texas

Excellent food, good portion, great value. Like all things prices have increased but portion did not decrease. Great service. My wife's go to for 20 years. read more

Looks like a dive on the outside but very charming. Had a server named Janey who was very sweet and attentive. It was still lunch hr and I went with the #1 combo and it didn't disappoint. Beef taco, beef enchilada, beef tostada, and refried beans. All were excellent and the taco came on a separate plate so you could load the shell with the right amount of ingredients that are provided. Ice tea to accompany everything. Yes, I'll be back and I want Janey for my server !! read more

We love this place! Dine in or call in your order to take home, always delicious! They never disappoint!

Good food, clean and very friendly staff easy parking, over all it's just a good place to eat

I have tried a couple of other Mexican restaurants in the town of Terrell. So far this is not my favorite. However I would return in the future. read more

Come here is you want delicious Mexican food. Same awesome quality for years. Highly recommend

This is a favorite of mine, I very much enjoy the Tex-Mex food they serve... The quality and value is very stable and hasn't changed much in the 25ish years I have gone there! I can tell you I have tried most items on the menu during that time, and none of the items disappoint... whether you are having a lunch or dinner... everything from tacos to Fajitas are delicious.... Margaritas too All the staff is very friendly and helpful, and eager to serve ... well deserving their tips!!! The dinning room hasn't changed at all since I first started dining there... it typical Tex-Mex motif... however since it's a small restaurant, chairs and booths are crammed closely together... so close we often feel included in our neighbors conversations!!! Not to mention Covid safe . Surprisingly the restaurant isn't overly noisy... In conclusion I enjoy the restaurant very much and recently have done more takeout, same great food and chips and salsa are included ... I think I just made myself hungry!!! Lol read more

Great place, awesome salsa, amazing chips and fun atmosphere. Came down here for a weekend event and just happened to stumble upon it....so glad that I did. read more

The staff is attentive, and the food is absolutely amazing. I had the beef chile relleno, my sweetheart had the caldo. The food was fresh, well prepared, and served by the sweetest young lady! Go there! Great guacamole and salsa to compliment a lovely dinner. Yum! read more

I made an order to go. Several dishes including a chimichanga. Picked up the order after waiting for five minutes while cashier had a conversation with another patron. So got home with my order only to discover that my chimichanga was missing. I mean, I got a plate with beans and rice but no chimichanga. Called and told them they messed up my order and I'll be back to get my entree. Thank gawd I live close. When I got there, they asked where was the beans and rice? Seriously?!? They just wanted to give me the chimichanga but I wanted the full plate because by the time I got home, the beans and rice would be cold. So as I'm picking up my order, I asked was this a fresh chimichanga or had it be sitting here the whole time getting cold and yucky. They said it was freshly made but they lied. Because my meal was inedible. Thinking about it, I got angrier about the whole experience. No apology and no attempt to make me happy. read more

I love that they have such a wide variety of options, however, I have to give a 3.5 because it's very obvious that the rice is from a box and the beans are from a can. We couldn't eat it at all because it wasn't even the better boxed rice or canned beans. Those are the 2 things that should be perfected at a Mexican restaurant. Other than that, and the powder horchata, it was over all good. Definitely more Tex-Amex than Mexican but one of the better Tex-Mex establishments. read more

Went here last Thursday to celebrate the selling of our house. 4 of us ordered Corona Rita's. After on drink we all knew something was wrong. Like the mix was bad. When the waitress came back I explained what was going on, she told me she wouldn't do anything about it. I was kinda shocked with how dismissive she was about it. I asked for a manager and when she got there, she said she wasn't going to do anything about it. I said fine, we are just going to leave then. We hadn't even ordered food yet. She said she was going call the police, so I did it for her. About 10 minutes later while I was waiting on the police to show up, she came over and told use we didn't have to pay but we have to leave and not come back. I would recommend you don't go either. They obviously don't wash the margarita machine, and the manager is very rude. read more

Great food great service best chips in town! Great prices! My favorite place to eat Mexican food in Terrell don't be fooled by the looks of the small hole in the wall restaurant! Excellent more stars if I could! read more

Tried it for the first time and most likely our last time. Queso came out quick and got cold quicker. I'm not talking cooled off I'm talking it got cold. I got the Steak Jose. Decent flavor but the steak itself reminded me of one you get from roadside vendor where an entire box is only $20. Wife got the chicken fajitas and said they were meh. Chicken was dry. About half way thru dinner an overwhelming smell of Pine-Sol came over me. They were mopping the floor already with multiple diners still there. They were not scheduled to close for another hour. read more

We have eaten here twice & enjoyed the food & service both times. The salsa & chips were especially tasty. Which is my first test of a Mexican restaurant. If the salsa is unsavory, so is the food. I ordered the shrimp Vera Cruz, it was exceptionally good. The sour cream enchiladas are also creamy & very generous with chicken rolled in tortillas. If l am driving through Terrell, this is where I eat. read more

Really good. The tacos are great. They give a ton of cheese which I love. Chips and salsa are really solid. Busy. But they move fast.

Placed an order over the phone to go. Arrived to find cashier in conversation with another customer. After 10 minute wait, cashier was ready for me. Told me my order was ready - and that it had been sitting there for the past 10 minutes. Paid and left. Got home to find that one order was complete, but my order of a chimichanga had the beans and rice - but no chimichanga. Called restaurant to let them know, and then drove back to get it. At first, they just wanted to give me the chimichanga, saying I already had the beans and rice. Told them they were cold now, and wanted a fresh batch. Cashier was very apologetic, but otherwise made no effort to make me satisfied. Got home to find the chimichanga was cold and unappetizing. It probably sat there for the entire 25 minutes from my first pick up to my return pick up. Very disappointed with poor customer service. Gave restaurant 2 stars because the other meal was quite good - even if mine wasn't. read more

Love their breakfasts. Had the scrambled eggs, Mexican chorizo sausage and fried potatoes with rice, beans and flour tortillas. It was outstanding. Got chips, which are fresh and crispy with great salsa, as soon as we sat down. Would recommend it to any breakfast lover. Wife had chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce and she loved them. Filled wit chicken and she said the sour cream sauce was outstanding Will stop again as we go through Terrell to get to lake fork. read more

Since changing management, this place is Excellent! The service was outstanding, the menu is huge, prices are a little higher than before but the food is a much higher quality then back a year ago. I had shrimp stuffed avocado and it was heavenly. We will be back!! read more

I had the burrito dinner for 6.99, it was super filling. My wife had flautas, they were oily and she did not like them. One of my sons had chicken enchiladas and he really enjoyed them. The service was really nice and prices aren't too bad. I got out for $65 with six meals. read more

This place is amazing! The food is awesome. The salsa was so good some of the people I went with were practically drinking it. Lunch prices are very reasonable for both lunch and dinner. Service was extremely good and the food came out fast and fresh. We had a party of 12 and it didn't slow them down a bit. read more

Wow! Best Mexican restaurant in Terrell. $5 marg special today (Thursday). FASTEST my food has EVER come out. Friendly, happy wait staff. And the décor inside is super cute! Definitely a hidden gem :) read more

Went here for lunch today (7-31-13) after reviewing YELP. We were not disappointed! They were cleaning the restaurant during the lunch rush. Floors, walls, kitchen [which I could see into]. I was impressed! The food was some of the best Tex-Mex I have had in Texas. The chips were crisp and not greasy at all. The salsa was spot on. the service was good. I had the lunch special Chicken Enchiladas. They were great! I could taste the ham bone in the re-fried beans, and the Mexican rice was divine. My Dad had the chicken taco, guacamole chalupa, and a enchilada. He said they were great! This is a very clean and great place to enjoy Tex-Mex. I just wished they were closer to Dallas where I live... I recommend to you to try. read more

El Nogalito - Chicken Enchiladas, Yum! - Mexican Near Me - Terrell, Texas

Margaritas are not good. Didn't taste tequila at all. It tasted like bad watered down margarita mix. When we mentioned it the gentleman who had taken our drink orders he told us to order top shelf next time. I shouldn't have to order top shelf to get a good tasting margarita. I give that service and beverage a one star possibly two. Our real server was pretty good. Two people in our party got fajitas and were very pleased. Another person got the chicken chalupas and loved them. I got the rellanos my go to favorite. I wouldn't say it was awesome. But it was good. The pepper was kinda wimpy. I like to taste the pepper and get a little heat from it but all I really tasted was the beef and sauce. I give our actual server and the food a good four star rating. read more

El Nogalito - Rellanos meal and chalupas in background - Mexican Near Me - Terrell, Texas

Awesome Mexican food! Fajitas are amazing. Very sweet staff. Prices are good too. A must try!

Wanted to try something different and came here. Only difference I found out was how much higher price this place was, and how at best mediocre the food was. I can go to a chain Mexican restaurant and have more and better quality and spend way less than this place. In the middle of Terrell there aren't many choices, but you should save a lot of money and go next door to taco bell to get a quick fix, then travel somewhere else to get your real Mexican food. read more

Found this place after visiting the way-too-crazy Bucee's down the street--the chips and salsa are addicting, the guac is fresh and the soft drinks are big. I ordered the uruano which was decent, the beef enchilada and tamale was the best part. The nachos were sort of bland and service was slow for ordering and bringing the check, but the staff was really nice. Good place to come if you don't have any where to be, like maybe on a Friday night for some margaritas. The price is definitely right and the food is good, would probably give 3.5 stars if I could but was an overall above average experience. read more

Friendly atmosphere. The food was ok. It's a popular choice for the people in Terrell.

I am 72 and have been eating Tex-Mex for a long time all over Texas and the Southwest. I won't say that this is the best, but I can honestly say that I have never had any better than what I've had here. read more

Not bad! I couldn't just pass through Terrell and not try a local dive. This is no frills Tex-Mex. Homemade chips and hot sauce is addictive. I got the huevos con chorizo y papas, rice and beans for 7.45. Good deal. Rice was good; beans had a funky taste - I bet if they did it in a different skillet they would taste better. Nonetheless a good deal and well run. Locals obviously like it. Recommended. read more

Maybe just not my type of restaurant... Ok, so what I liked. The restaurant looks authentic, although I think it is a remodeled Pizza Inn, and it was nice and clean. The service was fast and friendly. What I did not like was the food. I asked for fajita beef street tacos. And what I got was beef that looked it, and tasted like, it was more of a roast. It lacked any flavor and it came out almost cold. But it does seem to be a favorite spot for the locals. Maybe I just came in on an "off" day or something? read more

The food is great! But the one thing I did not appreciate was the cook. He was cleaning his sweaty face with a towel and using the same towel to hold plates that were coming out of the oven. Disgusting! read more
