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.

IF YOU ARE ON A DATE ASK FOR PEDRO!!!!…read more I was on a date at this restaurant and when we asked for a check, instead of just asking if we wanted to split the bill, he positioned himself right behind my date and mouthed me the question so we wouldn't have to split the check. This is the first time a server has not only realized that I was on a date, but actively worked with me to make sure it went as smooth as possible. We paid the bill, left, and I made sure I gave bro a 50% tip. I've worked in restaurants for 2 years now and I've never seen a server as amazing as Pedro. If you're reading this Pedro, just know I will forever be grateful for saving me. oh also the food was really good

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.

We ordered the Trio of Guacamole and they were all fantastic. I ordered an Oaxaca Old Fashioned. The presentation was crazy. It smoked and bubbled. For dinner, my wife and I split an order of Tacos Al Pastor. Again they did a great presentation on this entree. This has to be the best Mexican food I have ever eaten.

When we arrived we had a brief wait before we checked in, and were seated on the second level. Our server was excellent, our service was quick and he was always around without hovering. It was bitter cold outside so instead of my usual margarita ($14+) I opted for a beer ($6). We started with the salsa trio, one of my favorites with handmade assorted chips. It includes three salsas, somewhat spicy, sweet tomato and tomatillo - the spicy and sweet were my favorites. Next we ordered the tacos el carbon and carbon burrito - pricing is expensive! We both ordered our steaks medium rare. My tacos had a beautiful presentation, the meat came out on a skewer and smoking from the hot coals. All toppings were repeated on the plate. The steak was overcooked and tough though. Had a nice smoke to it, but very chewy. My husband enjoyed his burrito but wasn't the best he's ever had. They also had a mariachi band walk around but they had "tips" all over their instruments and clothes. Overall we had a nice meal but the price point doesn't equal the food quality.
