Reviews for La Nopalera in Jacksonville, FL
The food was excellent. We go to a lot of Mexican food restaurants and this would be in my top 5 of recent Mexican food. I... don't know what 'authentic' Mexican food would be, so I will stick with flavors. Everything was fresh and everything tastedreally good from diabla shrimp to pinto bean burrito. One of the best margharitas I've had in a while. Very smooth and not soacidic. Although the place was full, it never got too loud to have a conversation. The staff were attentive but not alwaysclear. For example, there was a paper menu, a laminated menu and a QR code menu. Nobody could explain why we would choose one ofthose 3 to order our food from. That isn't very important really because we got great food, but it was confusing and nobodycould explain. Though some of my family do, I don't speak Spanish very well. Read more
Tonight?s experience started off well. We were seated quickly and our drink orders were taken in a timely manner. That?s where... it ended. Our waitress Daisy didn?t return for over half an hour. It wasn?t until she asked to refill our drinks that I had toask when our food was coming up. Once our food finally arrived, it was unsatisfactory. My carnitas seemed over cooked and only aportion of it was tender. My wife?s 2 taco plate, she said the hard shells tasted store bought and the meat was very little. Myin laws did not enjoy their burritos at all. Please address the wait staff. It appeared that many of them were standing aroundand socializing with each other rather than tending to the customers. Our food should have been delivered faster than it was. Itwas not too busy and there?s no excuse for the tardiness. At this time we will not be returning unless this changes. Read more
My mother and I stopped to eat here during our shopping trip. The service was top notch! The food was amazing! My mother always... likes to take home all the leftovers to see how many meals she can make out of it (they even helped her take home the chips andsalsa). I have been here many times over the past couple years and have never had a bad experience. We will definitely be back! Read more
I have 0 complaints about the taste of the food. I ordered a burrito special with Mexican Chili on top. Wife and my oldest got... Tacos with 0 complaints across the board...I will say, $14 dollars for 3 tacos seems a bit aggressive when you can get 2burritos for $11. Works out for me as I prefer the burritos but I understand how others can be pushed away by that. Read more
Had chimichangas. They were great with the chips and salsa. Prices fairly reasonable and friendly service to boot. My only... complaint (this is mostly just me) is that the restaurant is a little bit noisy. My ears don't handle that well. If I had earfilters in it probably wouldn't bother me so much. Read more
It was pretty good, I still trying to find that place that can measure up to the Mexican in Cali. I liked the tacos, nice... shredded chicken. I also had the Chile relleno & chicken enchilada. I really like their enchilada sauce, it was what I washoping for. The Chile relleno was interesting... it had ground beef in it? I'm beginning to think that the Mexican places in FLhave a different idea about Chile rellenos. ????. They don't usually have meat in them or smothered in cheese. I did like thecheese but I expected the cheese to be just on the inside. I hoped to see some cilantro h micro diced onion or something on topto jazz it up. It was enjoyable anyway but let's put some love & freshness in there. Read more
I?ve been eating a La Nopalera before they even had more than one restaurant. This location is great. Food is always delicious... and service is fast. I also dig the decor. It?s neat to look at while you are waiting for your food and are munchin on somechips and salsa. I always order queso too because you have to have queso! It?s so good and hard not to fill up on before youget your food. Read more
