Attractive look on the truck, I like that it stands out with solid branding! The main highlight: Fried on the spot are the Vegetable Samosa and Crispy Lentil Spinach fritters. The rest of the experience: The menu was disappointing, perhaps it was just me, and I may have just wished for more Indian fried street food on the menu. The man at the service window seemed overwhelmed, so no chit-chat was possible. Cheerlessly, the service was slow, and even longer wait time after placing the order. I ended up getting dinner also, ordering the Butter Chicken - small bits of chicken dispersed with butter sauce on top of a mound of rice. The flavors were good, but the protein portion was minuscule. Save your money on the Naan; it tasted store-bought and just warmed up. The flavors were non-memorable, with a sense of "Indian flavor authenticity," the spiciness in the sauce diluted.

The chicken wings and sliders were also really good. The place itself is really nice and well put together.

Our server was Brandon, who was an absolute delight! He was so energetic, so friendly, and gave great suggestions. We started with drinks. I had a skinny margarita and my husband had a Frida (top shelf margarita) and our son had a Coke. First thing we ordered was the chips and salsa. The chips were perfect, not too thin and not too thick. They came with two salsas. Both were tasty. Not sure if there is a spicier option but we will check next time. I ordered the Birria tacos. They were so delicious! So much flavor! The avocado tomatillo salsa was perfect with it. My husband ordered the Al Pastor tacos. It was very traditional Al pastor. He loved the black beans. His words were " these are the best black beans I have ever had!" Our son ordered the chorizo tacos. First, I have never seen chorizo tacos offered in a Mexican restaurant. Secondly, they were amazing! To finish, I ordered the banana pudding and our son ordered the churro sundae. Both desserts were delicious. The portions were huge! All in all I say Nopal is quite the gem. Perfect portions and dishes that are packed with flavor. And service that goes above and beyond. We can't wait to go back. We will ask for Brandon!!!

I was hoping for more protein, but instead got a mound of peppers with roughly 12 oz in protein at best, if I had to guess. This wad the fajita combo: shrimp, chicken and steak. The steak was delicious, but only found 3 pieces, which I brought to the server's attention. She gladly brought more. With such a unique menu, it would be nice if they offered a mixed protein platter. The mixed fajitas were good, but if you're looking for more proteins this isn't gonna handle it.

The interior is nice and spacious, and they were able to sit my table of 6 immediately upon entry. Our waitress was kind, but seemed to be spread thin over multiple tables, so service was a little spotty.

The mapo tofu was absolutely delicious - the savory chili sauce with the phenomenal texture of the pork and tofu, it was a dish I've been craving ever since I got it. The rice pairs excellently with it, as it's quite salty, and acts as a good balance to the intense flavor. The wonton soup was classic and good. Nothing super standout, but still a good appetizers. Everyone enjoyed their food, and the portions were sizable and able to be taken home for more meals later! I thoroughly enjoyed this place, and can't wait to try other dishes on their menu.

From the food to the quick service and friendly faces, it's such a great spot.

But I feel like for each when you get a lot of good stuff. And it is all you can eat. My favorite thing to order is the creamy Bulgogi and their kimchi is amazing. The kimchi has like such a yummy garlic flavor and I haven't found one in stores that I like just as much as that one. Also on the sides, order the Korean fried chicken and the chicken Katsu, those are my husband's favorites. This is such a great experience and everyone should try it at least once!

Usually we have been complaining about how lately the calamari isn't quality and quantity as it has been in the past. However, this order did not have any complaints from us. The calamari was crispy, fresh, and they gave us a great portion like they previously had in the past. The calamari pieces were huge but so good. The BBQ chicken pizza is my favorite as they use gouda cheese. The veggie pizza was good as well, I only had a slice as my dad devoured the majority of the pie, which says something positive. Something about this order was exceptionally good and did not disappoint. Blue Highway definitely restored my faith in them with this take away order.

Gainesville Seafood, out on the Eastern end of town, is that place. It may not be the easiest spot to stumble upon, but that's part of its charm. This is the kind of hidden gem that loyal regulars keep quietly to themselves, the sort of place that feels like a reward for those willing to seek it out. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, the kind of no-frills setting that lets the food do all the talking. I went for a seafood platter, which was shrimp and fish with fries. They have a variety of different kinds of fish available that you can pick from, which is a nice touch. It gives the meal a sense of personalization that you don't always find at casual seafood spots. I went with the flounder, and it turned out to be an easy choice to feel good about. The platter was generously portioned, the kind of meal that leaves you satisfied without the need to contemplate dessert. All of it was excellent. The flounder was light and flaky on the inside, with a crisp golden crust that had clearly seen well-seasoned oil and confident hands in the kitchen. The shrimp were equally well-executed. They were plump, tender, and fried just right, without any of the rubbery disappointment that lesser seafood joints often deliver. Even the fries held their own, providing a solid, starchy counterpoint to all that seafood goodness. The wait wasn't at all bad either, which is worth mentioning because a place this good can often mean a crowd. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the whole experience moved at a comfortable, easy pace. Whether you're a Gainesville local or just passing through, Gainesville Seafood is the kind of place worth going a little out of your way for, and once you've been, you'll understand why people keep coming back.

The parking lot can get a little hectic, especially during busy hours, but once I got inside everything moved quickly. The service was fast and I really appreciated that everything is fried fresh to order, you can taste the difference. I got the wings and shrimp combo and added hush puppies. The wing batter was amazing: not greasy, perfectly seasoned, and honestly better than Popeyes or even KFC. A lot of places give you more batter than chicken, but here the chicken was moist and a good portion. The hush puppies were also surprisingly moist and flavorful, some of the best I've had since they're usually dry elsewhere. My find and I split the order and since we eat small portion we think that was a good portion for us and also had leftovers. Everything was so good I didn't even need sauce, and I'm a sauce girl through and through. Overall, great experience and I'd definitely come back when I'm craving something fresh, crispy, and satisfying.
