    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.

    Trio Fajitas

    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!

    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 !!

    Shrimps veracruzana really good

    See all

    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.

    The fajita meat is tender and the beans are very tasty.

    Stepped into a hacienda style cantina, greeted in the front lobby by a little bit of a savory…read morecharacter, we were seated pretty quickly and enjoyed cups and salsa, great meal and attentive service from ur waiter. Nice clean cantina style restaurant. Great place to grab a meal while out running errands or doing some holiday shopping. Enjoy, stop in soon. Stay safe !

    Walked into Mariachi for lunch thinking I was about to enjoy a simple steak burrito. You know…read more.. one of those wildly complicated orders that included ONLY steak, cheese, beans, and rice. Apparently I accidentally requested the "garden fresh surprise" edition because it showed up packed with lettuce and tomatoes. No big deal, mistakes happen. I politely let the server know, expecting the standard "Oops, we'll fix that." Instead, I got hit with the customer service equivalent of a UFC uppercut: "Yeah, that's what you said." After explaining again that I specifically said ONLY, I was then informed they'd have to charge me for an entirely new burrito if they corrected it. Over lettuce and tomato. Not because I ate the whole thing. Not because I changed my mind halfway through. Simply because their version of quality control is apparently "good luck everybody." The best part? Rather than fixing the burrito, offering literally any solution, or attempting basic conflict resolution, they just let me walk out. Imagine losing a customer over shredded lettuce. That's commitment to the principle. I didn't even get to try the actual food, although based on the chips and salsa, I'm not sure I missed a life-changing culinary experience. To be fair, I wasn't rude, I wasn't demanding, and I fully understand mistakes happen in restaurants. But if your first response to a simple correction is "pay for another one," then maybe the problem isn't the burrito. Mariachi taught me an important lesson today: apparently "only" is just a suggestion. Do Better
