Chicken taco
L A.

So I decided to stop and try something new in my area...Taqueria El Nopalito was in walking distance so I gave it a go. The restaurant is very simple but they work their magic in the kitchen. I ordered a chicken taco that was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I am personally not a fan of onions but I completely forgot they were there after my first bite! I will definitely be returning soon.

Not great, tacos are 3+ each no sides available and they don't taste very fresh. The portions are small and seasoning is poor.

We love the tacos and salsa here at Ixtapalapa, The salsa…read moreis really good because they have spicy ones. The only thing to be warned about is finding a spot to sit if you get here during the dinner rush. Other than that it is a must try!! A few of our favorites: Steak tacos Chicken tacos Veggie tacos Chilaquiles!!!

My partner and I decided to try this out for lunch. We bought 2 Pollo, 2 Veggie and 1 Al Pastor…read moretacos, a couple bottles of water and a side of guacamole. You order at a counter and are given a number to display at your table. Our food took only a few minutes to arrive. The server also brought over a box holding three salsas in squeeze bottles. The green salsa was pretty mild and the orange one was super hot. The dark one was, I think, chipotle. I didn't care for the chipotle. The tacos looked great and were each pretty packed with ingredients. Pollo tacos - I thought the chicken was a bit dry and, because of that, disappointing. Veggie - The veggie were filled with cooked onion, mushroom and peppers. Although they were well prepared and held a lot of veggies, there was no seasoning, so the taste was pretty flat/boring. I had to rely on adding guac and some salsa for flavor. I was hoping the veggie would have some flavor without having to rely on sauces. Al Pastor - was very good. Guacamole - comes "market price". The side we got was $3, which I think was a good value. The guac was flavorful and was a nice portion. I am glad I had it to supplement the disappointing Veggie taco and the dryness of the Pollo. The corn tortillas were good. The place is nice and comfortable.

The experience was lovely. Service was super friendly and…read morethe cashier, who also takes the order was helpful. The space was small with high top seating (bar like) and 3 small tables in the middle. There are fresh condiments, pepper sauces, pica de Gallo, ect. My favorites were the beef taco and fish taco. The quesadilla was tasty as well. The establishment was very clean and well ran.

Overall Positives: The service is friendly and fast, which is nice since we came right at dinner…read moretime and it didn't take too long to get our food. Love the salsa bar -- the salsas taste fresh and there's something for everyone. If you aren't vegetarian the chicken is tasty and the chicken burrito is a safe, decent choice. Overall Negatives: This is not a great place if you are vegetarian. I know they have veg items but they don't get the same attention to flavor and quality that the non-vegetarian items get. That's why my husband rated his chicken burrito higher than I rated my veggie tacos. We had more misses than hits here. Chicken burrito: minimal beans, lots of rice and pulled chicken that both had great flavor. A marginal hit, just really needed some texture because a tortilla filled with just chicken isn't a great burrito. Its's a "just fine" burrito. Veggie tacos: barely any beans or rice. Mostly big chucks of avocado (weird to not dice it) and sliced tomato and onion (again weird -- just dice it). All topped with a dairy bomb of sour cream and queso fresco that caused the whole taco to lose its structural Integrity. Desperately needed lots of salsa for flavor because nothing else had any. The thing is, you can make rice flavorful. You can make beans with flair and fun and taste. They just don't here. Disappointing miss. Nachos: good chips, good cheesy sauce. Barely any beans again and the big slices of avocado, onion, and tomato (about the size you see on a burger) made it difficult to eat anything but the chips and cheese sauce. Not "nachos" and definitely not a hit for us. Unfortunately this just wasn't for us. It's great to have stuff on your menu that accommodates different types of diners but it's important to actually show the "other" food equal attention to quality and flavor.

If you get the traditional tacos, decently priced. Favorite was definitely the pescado (recommend…read morethe fried fish dirty style) since it comes with a special sauce and cheese. The tacos were pretty meaty. It would be challenging to have a large group seated all together but for informal quick bites it's a great local choice. I added verde sauce to everything. Many of the salsas were very mild. Would definitely come back to grab drinks with some friends.

Got the "bamba brisket Mac and queso quesadilla" (see photos)…read more The peices of brisket are ok. There are little to no macaroni noodles. I can't taste the queso. This tastes like Chinese sweet and sour sauce. There was no mention of this sweet and sour sauce being in it on the menu. This is honestly one of if not the worst quesadilla I've ever had. I would rather have one from TacoBell. Some of the food I got was ok. I did like the "Lengua Taco" But the "bamba brisket Mac and queso quesadilla" was horrible, and it was the main thing I was getting. I would not have gotten it if the menu made any mention of this sweet sauce inside. The restaurant in person it ok as far as ambiance, nice outdoor seating, and music.

In…read moreparticular, they talked about La Casita so nicely that I thought I would try this place for lunch. I ordered online and it was pretty seamless. I needed to have a fast way to order and then simply go for pick up - NOT stand around waiting for the pupusas to cook. The online system worked pretty well but the menu is not that well organized. The restaurant is way bigger than I expected. It was crowded even at 2 in the afternoon so that was a good indication. But I have to admit that the floors, counters and tables were pretty dirty. That surprised me. My order was delivered to me quickly by a very nice and friendly cashier and I went back to my office. The pupusas were fresh and still steaming hot from the oven. I went with the safe chicken & cheese pupusas. The flavor was delicious! There was a little more grease than I expected but I hear that is just part of the pupusa expeience! I would definitely go back and try some of the other flavors. Do I recommend La Casita to others? Yes I do!!!
