    Vibes
    Justin G.

    Very impressed with the food! The Steak Fajitas and Chorizo Queso were some of the best I have had (and we live in Texas!) The Food - 5 Stars: For the order, we had: 1) Steak Fajitas 2) Chorizo Queso 3) Chips/Salsa The Drinks - 4 Stars: 1) Frozen Margaritas Atmosphere 4 Stars: The small place has a nice vibe to it. The high back booths were a quaint and somehow seemed to make the place bigger. The Service - 3 Stars: We stopped in Sikeston on a Sunday evening (7/24) on a road trip from Indiana to Texas and were sat down immediately with no wait. It was not too busy, and we were able to get served well. I generally expect a little more attention from the waitstaff which is why this one is lower. The Price - 5 Stars: $ - Total food and drinks (before tip) ~$30 total. Since we split the fajitas, it might be more expensive for other entrees. Overall, 4 stars and would highly recommend it.

    I am really impressed with this restaurant. Food is delicious. Not over seasoned with salt or pepper, very fresh and very affordable. What you will spend at Burger King or another fast food restaurant, you will spend here and get better quality food. I am not getting paid to write this review and not related to anyone here. Just a car hauler broke down waiting for parts. Two thumbs up to this restaurant!!! Grilled Chicken

    a bug

    the service here was terrible there's no one up front to help you sit down and place u somewhere and then once they place u they take forever to take ur order and then the food looks awful like they barely cooked it and threw it on a plate, and don't even ask about the windows and stuff it's all disgusting like it has been wiped in months. YUCK I DO NOT RECOMMEND

    they don't know how to follow instructions over the phone. ordered grilled onions and this is how they looked

    Chips and salsa

    Delicious meal came out quick, and hot. Very busy but you do not wait long I arrived about 5:30 pm. The next time I eat here I will ask for the taco on a separate plate. Stop by you will not be disappointed. Ambiance is typical for a busy restaurant young people to the elderly, Mexican music in the background. I was by myself but I would be happy to take my friends here. My server's name was Brian he was friendly and funny. Job well done.

    Love that Cactus guy has a floating armless glove

    Who knew good Mexican could be found along the highways and byways of little town Missouri? But it's true! El Nopalito does authentic Mexican with good service in a clean restaurant with a retro 50's look (perhaps from previous tenants). My son liked his enchilada and taco combo plate, and I enjoyed the authentic chicken colorado dish, that had a nice warm spice to it. The chips 'n' salsa were homemade, although a spicier salsa is always appreciated. We also would have loved to have seen some namesake nopales on the menu. Ample parking. Oh, and the cactus guy mascot with a glove but no arm is adorable.

    The best chips and salsa I have ever had.

    Wow. I happened upon this place by chance. We eat Mexican regularly and this place is THE BEST!! Fast service, everything delicious! The staff were so fast and kind! A breathe of fresh air!

    This was a tiny pitstop on our road trip from Georgia to Oregon and a tiny pitstop is just what…read morethis place looks like from the outside. We popped in on a Sunday and ordered a picture of margaritas to start off with! Here's a tip for those of us visiting Kentucky. The server looked at me as though I had two heads! He then repeated it to me, as though I must've misspoken. . . "A picture of Margarita's?" I confirmed, Ummm yes, we'll take the midday drunk special please, and thank you so much! I mean I didn't say it... I didn't have to say it... "It's Sunday" the man reminded me gently. I'm sure my face was absolutely blank. Ummmm?? Hmmm... 'Sunday you say?'... Turns out you cannot buy alcohol in Kentucky on a Sunday, and here I am trying to order a whole dang picture in broad daylight when my butt probably should've been in church if I was gunna be in Kentucky. The place was super clean. Nothing sticky icky or gooey. Outside of not offering up illegal alcoholic beverages on Sundays, our server was great! The food though. OMG. The FOOD! First, I don't know why anyone ever orders anything other than "The Special Dinner" I ordered that and 420 munchies were covered ALL NIGHT! It's like 5 entres for 12 bucks! The bathrooms were clean, there was a step so not so much wheelchair accessible. Rich and Kai LOVED their foods too!
