Been in search of a new date night spot since moving to south jersey and I'm glad we stopped here while taking a stroll through Haddonfield. We ordered tamales as our appetizer and they were incredible. Tasted like my childhood. We went with the chicken burrito and the tacos de birria as our entrees. Neither dish disappointed. The birria tacos were the best i've had in a long time. Coming from central jersey, we have been spoiled with amazing food from all cultures -- but ever since moving here we've had a hard time finding local places that are tasty and worth it. This will be our new place for sure. Can't wait to come back! It's located in the downtown area so after dinner you can walk straight to the local dessert shops. The waiter was also awesome!
my boyfriend and i came here last night and the food was delicious. he loved the steak tacos and i got the enchiladas suzias. my boyfriend also loved the agua fresca
My fiancé and I have been reminiscing about the amazing dinner we had here back in late 2022. We always talk about going back because it's some of the best Mexican food we've had but have been deciding against it mainly due to having to drive to Haddonfield. It took my fiancé having an appointment locally for us to finally make it back. Again, our dinner was outstanding and we're going to have to make it a point to patronize El Nopalito more often. We arrived shortly after 7 and were seated immediately. The storefront is welcoming and you get such a homey/cozy feeling inside. To our surprise it wasn't as busy as we thought it'd be. We really enjoy ordering a variety of food to split and agreed to deploy our same strategy as last time - order a beef, chicken, and pork dish. They brought out complimentary chips topped with beans and cheese to start accompanied by delicious yet spicy salsas. After a quick review of the menu, we agreed upon steak nachos (we got them last time and they were way too good not to get again), carnitas tacos, and chicken empanadas. We also made a game time decision to get salmon tacos too. We couldn't have been happier with our decisions. The steak nachos (a meal in and of itself) and the empanadas came out first. The steak was browned nicely, tender, and added great flavor along with the beans, crema, cheese, and refreshing pico. The empanadas were large and the chicken was succulent. Soon after, our tacos came out. The tortillas, which are definitely house-made, elevate the entire profile of the taco to levels you couldn't imagine until you've experienced it. The pork, like the beef, was browned and tender, and almost melted in your mouth. The grilled pineapple atop the salmon tacos really was the star of that dish. When our check arrived at the table I honestly couldn't believe how reasonable the price was for the portion sizes, the quality of the food, the amount we ordered, and the location. The presentation of each dish was beautiful. The flavor profiles were spot on. El Nopalito is on my short list of Mexican restaurants I confidently name when someone asks for recommendations. We need to make it a point to dine here more often.
A really great find! Some things to note before I get into food, portions are huge, big bang for buck, and it's on the smaller side in terms of seating so note that for bigger parties and busier nights! The tortilla soup is the best i've had and i've try it at every restaurant! The soup has no meat in it but if you care about meat broth being used i'd ask before hand! The cup size is honestly enough if you're getting it as an app. bowl is huge in my opinion. The chips that come out with chips and salsa come with beans on top, so if you prefer no beans just ask and they will happily accommodate! The vegetarian enchiladas are huge! They were spicy as well! No mushrooms or beans in it which I appreciated! I did not get a picture unfortunately of the enchiladas! I ordered a quesadilla the second time I went and it was also huge! all the toppings are on top which I like but if you prefer on the side just ask and they will accommodate! The horchata is delicious and they give you a big glass! They also gave me a to go cup since I couldn't finish mine which was nice! Overall great service, great food, great price for food, and great atmosphere!
The grilled fish tacos were delicious and filling. I loved the tortilla and how well it held up the contents. I also got a side of elote which was made perfectly. It was sweet and savory. The service was attentive and friendly. It does take a while for the food to be made so have some patience. The ambiance is nice and is a great spot for lunch (if you can take 2 hour lunches!) *BONUS: try the $3 tamales, they are delicious, affordable and adds a nice touch to the meal if you're still hungry
Had such a delicious dinner here!! I got the mixed fajitas and they were delicious (and a huge portion). And they came with a bowl of soup! The horchata was amazing, definitely a must order if you're here! It's one of the best that I've had. Service is also always super friendly. They don't take reservations and get pretty busy so be prepared to wait, but the food is worth it!
Came back for dinner and my experience was just as good! They do not take reservations. We were told the wait time for 2 people would be 45minutes, so we put our name down but checked out other restaurants in the area just in case since we were hungry. Didn't find anything so I called them back after 15min to get an update and luckily a table just opened up so we quickly went back. Service was great and the food was very tasty! Ordered chicken empanadas to share. Extremely filling and could be a meal for one person. 3 big pieces with juicy chicken and flavorful toppings. Highly recommend that for an app! I ordered the grilled mahi mahi special, which was $28. Beautiful seasoned fish with shrimp, rice, avocado/tomato/onion salad and your choice of soup or salad. My friend ordered the traditional enchiladas and said it was very flavorful. We were stuffed from the chicken empanadas that neither of us could finish our meal. Great byo spot! This will be a Mexican restaurant I will consistently return to when in the area!
Got there early and chose a seat inside. We enjoy chips and sauces. Love the refried beans and cheese. Red sauce was spiced then the green. Ordered the Taco Birria, shredded beef. Was tasty. Spoke with waitress explained we were looking for more of a fried taco. She said if we tell them next time maybe they could fry it. The taquitos shredded beef. Seasoned nice a little on drier side. Dipped in consume from the tacos . The churros were good, Carmel inside, homemade whipped cream . Coffee was smooth.
Food taste delicious and fresh, accommodating for allergies and dietary restrictions. Restaurant is on the smaller side.
Great grilled fish burrito loaded with tons of fresh veggies. The fish was hearty and generously portioned. Their sauces were very fresh and excellent. The service was prompt. The space is clean and inviting, albeit fairly modest in ambiance. The free cheesy chips at the beginning is a nice touch.

This place is delicious! I've only had brunch here, but the staff was friendly, the portions were more than generous, the food was full of flavor, and the prices were reasonable. If every dish is as delicious as the breakfast nachos (eggs, creme, pico, chorizo, and avocado-), I look forward to trying more. My fiancé had the Burrito poblano- he said it was delicious as well. read more
New Mexican style restaurant. Small and quaint towards the end of kings highway. I ordered the carnitas tacos. They were huge and served on homemade tortillas. They were great and I'd order again for sure. The small patron bottles with fresh flowers were an adorable touch as well. They give you chips and salsa. I really enjoyed both salsa options, typically I'm more of a salsa verde person but they had some great choices! Definitely give this place a try next time you find yourself in downtown Haddonfield. read more

Fist time walking by this cute hidden gem. Stopped in with my daughter and placed a to-go order, then I looked more into the men and decided to order more. The food was amazing, authentic, seasoned and the staff was friendly. I will be back very soon, so happy to finally find an authentic Mexican restaurant in my neighborhood! read more

So I got takeout from El Nopalito, the phone wasn't working whenever I tried to called so I went in person to order instead. The lady at the desk told me it'd take around 45 minute so me and my girlfriend drove around for about 40 minutes and came back, when I got there I was told it would be 10 minutes more so I waited outside and while I was out there she brought me a free plate of chips and salsa which I greatly appreciated. A couple minutes later she came back out with the food for me and it was great! We got the empanada, flautas, burrito and mexcian street corn and I definitely plan on going back soon! The food is fantastic and so is the customer service, you most likely will have to be patient since they're busy most times but I promise it's worth it. read more

Is it BYO?
Yes it is. Haddonfield is a dry town, with the exception that some restaurants are allowed to sell locally-made wine and one brewery will be selling its beer.
