El nopal location off Bardstown road in the fern creek community of Lousiville Kentucky. Recently went under renovation after being shut down for what seemed like well over a year this popular local franchise has opened backed up at risk location with bright yellow colors and the same good authentic Mexican food. El nopal over the years has grown rapidly in the Lousiville and surrounding areas and is a bit of a local go to for residents wanting Mexican. It all starts with the complimentary chips and salsa which is some of the best the city has to offer. Inside are always spacious and with the redesign of this location it is the same. Spacious with fun vibrant Mexican themed decor. Food wise my personal favorite is the enchilada supremas which is 5 different types of enchiladas. However you can't really go wrong at el nopal as some of the other favorites in my family is the steak ranchero and burritos. Overall I'm glad to see Thai location is back up and running as it is geographically the closest to me. Although el nopal has grown so much in the area they have one in almost every community so you really do not ever had to drive far to experience this local treat.

A feast...

It's reliably mediocre. Nothing to write home about, but you won't get food poisoning.

I visited Veronica's for the first time last Wednesday night and now I know what the hype is all…read moreabout! I had been wanting to go for quite some time to try the Birria because I heard it is so amazing, and it really lived up to the Hype! Oh, did I mention they have the viral soft serve margaritas!?!?! I got the strawberry, it was so pretty, excellent presentation and absolutely delicious! I will say it was more like a dessert to me and I would have preferred to have it after my meal instead if before but that's just me. We got there between 6:30 and 7:00 and it was really busy, luckily our friends got there first and grabbed a table. They had already had a round of drinks while waiting on us but it took a while for anyone to come over to greet us or refill their drinks but again it was busy and everyone was helping everyone. We ended up splitting the birria platter and still had plenty of food to take home which we just ate last night as leftovers and were still absolutely fire!! I think the egg roll and quesadillas were my favorite over the tacos bc I love the melty cheese. I also ordered a small side of queso which was surprisingly a little spicy which I really enjoyed. They even surprised us when my BIL ordered a small margarita and it came out in a fish glass (see photo). It was so unexpected but also so cute at the same time ... it's really the little things like this that bring joy, okay? LOL This place was absolutely amazing and I can't wait to try it again.

After my 3rd visit to Veronica's I figured it was time to do my review so here it is... after…read morebecoming a big fan of all things birria it became clear Veronica's was a place I needed to visit. It's nestled in an area known to have a lot of flavor already so just be aware of that. Firstly I will say the folks running this establishment are friendly, kind, humorous and above all attentive. The service has never failed me. The birria is exactly as you'd expect very very well done and consistent. I've had the quesabirria tacos, birria eggrolls and "pizza" also recently the steak quesadilla. All perfectly executed and tasty AF. The environment in the restaurant is vibrant and the decor is elaborate. The prices are maybe a few dollars more than say your average Mexican eatery. $15 for three Quesabirria tacos, quesadilla 18 bucks (too much). In my opinion the birria platter is the best value for first time visitors. Chips and salsa are free and very good. Overall I would definitely recommend Veronica's I've never left feeling like I didn't get my moneys worth or the food wasn't great and this means a lot.

The mole dip was the well spiced and chunked salsa you'd expect from homemade loving care. The brisket mole tacos melted into delicious rapture. Mole smoked wings both delighted and surprised. Not to be outdone, the churro cheesecake shone like the beacon that will call us back. Bartenders were friendly, helpful, and skilled in their craft. The seasonal cocktail selections were excellent and satisfying in their curated flavor explosion.

Everyone is so nice. We went Thursday evening for the all you can eat & drink tacos & margaritas & they did not, disappoint!! I started with: CHICKEN TINGA TACOS with smoked chicken in an adobo chipotle mole, pickled onion, cotija cheese, chipotle crema, mirco cilantro in corn tortillas - they were great. So flavorful!! Kind of messy but, that's what napkins are for ;) my margarita, pear & what a great flavor. Wasn't too "over the top - artificial" perfect . We pushed thru for a 2nd round (of both tacos & MARGARITAS) Went with BIRRIA TACOS with smoked braised brisket, monterey jack cheese, red onion, cilantro in corn tortillas served with birria consomé & just like Round I - no let-downs so flavorful. Not too "greasy feeling or tasting" just right! As for margarita II, another pear for the win. Definitely recommend - Cannot wait to go back!!

The waitress was friendly & attentive. I had ordered the Peruvian ribs and they were mediocre. There wasn't much flavor & just tasted a bit overcooked yet warm. The rice was delicious, loved it very much & the French fries seemed homemade & very crispy delicious!! My partner unfortunately didn't enjoy his Peruvian chicken & it was quite rubbery & flavorless. I had requested a spicy sauce on the side for my ribs & I was confused what I was eating it was homemade & yellow cream color yet it was just too spicy to even enjoy!! It seems like a wonderful place for Americanized Mexican food, so I'll need to come back to try that but as for Peruvian I'm quite disappointed:/

Got the same shrimp seafood fried rice... but it was either old, recooked or overdone... but for $25 it wasn't good. Two bites in and I was like I cannot eat this. The last few times I've gotten the same thing and have absolutely loved it. Been so good so fresh! So I was very shocked by this. Like the shrimp are dried out and hard... idk but I won't go in late again. It'll have to be a day off so I can go early in the day. Cause I do love it- you can see the major differences from previous visits of the same exact dish. My bad for going in late but I do have to work and get things done ‍
