The Chimichanga
Joe J.

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

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
Brandon L.

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

Simply outstanding! The fajita meat is tender and the beans are very tasty. Try the queso!

We went here on a Sunday and it was packed. Since it was just the 2 of us, we waited for 30…read moreminutes. Just do not come between 12 to 1pm as it is packed. Our waitress was outstanding as she took care of us. I am not so sure if there were more, but she was handling quite a bit of tables. She gave us samples of each of the sauces and even the boom boom one. Please note it is a dollar extra for the sauce. I ended up ordering the taco salad. It is not your typical that you see however as there is not taco bowl, but a substitute for the strips. They use fresh vegetables and nothing looked expired. In fact it looked just like the photo on the menu. We got a lot of chips and salsa and our waitress asked if we wanted chips to go and we thought she was going to give us a box to put the chips, but nope it ended up being a bag. Beef was not dry and quite juicy. Our waitress was so good that I tipped her 30% for doing over and beyond.

Me and my husband went to go have dinner and the girl at the front didn't ask us how many people…read moredidn't greet us a man walked right in and said I need a table for 6 he got his table while we just stood there We left because of the poor customer service I'm very disappointed because I like their food they need better staff with better customer service
