tutto veramente buono. consigliato

Elevated Mexican in a humble setting. No reservations— save for booking the entire parklet outside. Get the chicken mole, any taco, and the vegetable dishes. The guacamole is also very very good

Such a vibe , love the forest green setting with all the live plans. Its perfect for brunch, its good place for sharing as portions are fair in size. I was sold on their totopos con chile, they are not spicy and so flavorful, Their beef empanadas sold me , so good!! Their ensalada del mercado is super simple but its so good, their quesadilla de primavera is on the healthier side . I would have liked a little more variety in their brunch menu!

Great food Portions are large Friendly atmosphere

Casual atmosphere with very friendly staff. Cocktails and food were delicious, and quick. Easy to get to location, was a nice walk from downtown in beautiful weather.

Very good Mexican food with both indoor and outdoor seating in a pleasant neighborhood. Everything is up to the standard of a touchless post-pandemic world era, with QR codes, ordering and mobile payment. The portions are quite generous, and the staffs are very attentive with friendly neighborhood style services.

it's very very very good! the service was great and quick, the patio was very nice, the food was delicious. unfortunately i don't remember many specific dishes, but the vegetable dish with beans was definitely at the top of my list! that was the most unique tasting plate on the table and i thoroughly enjoyed it. meats were cooked well, chips and guac didn't disappoint. overall a very pleasant lunch experience.

I don’t understand why everyone likes this place. The lemonade was spicy and makes your throat sting. The chicken was way too chewy for my liking. The nachos were stale and hard to chew! They didn’t even have nacho cheese! The tortilla was crusty and stale. The cheese was all gross and it was super gooey and slimy. The building smelled funky. They didn’t even have real salsa they just had weird green sauce. This place is a total waste of your time and money. And sanity!

I ve been going to Nopalito for as long as I ve lived in SF and at the begining it was amazing it was the place to go to get great Mexican food with a Californian twist but not loosing its Mexican coar.My wife and I went last time 3 years ago and it was ok and today we decided to give it a chance to see if they were back with there A game after all the pandemic closings and all the competition around.Saddly it was awful ?.... I m Mexican and the food lacked salt, spice,presentation and just flat out SOUL. The worst part was that the Tortillas and totopos were horrible and as everyone knows that is the core of Mexican food. I used to go specifically to buy Tortillas and eat them at my house.Saddly the service is terrible led by a manager that believes his own lies and instead of trying to make the situation better he just came to the table and started verbally fighting with me.Even the bartender knew what I was saying.There are no more waiters so the part were you have service is done but prices are higher than ever for bad food and 0 service.I would suggest going to any other place than Nopalito. It is not what it used to be saddly.

- came here from all of the good reviews and the place didn’t disappoint! great upscale mexican restaurant- the margaritas we’re strong and tasty- the ceviche tostada was so flavorful and perfectly acidic/sour. great combo of textures with the veggies- mole chicken was great as well. the portion was massive- carnitas was juicy and flavorful. the pork pulled apart so easily and had the right amount of fat.- also recommend the tortillas! had to get extra to go- you order and pay through the QR code but the waiters were still helpful and friendly, this was the ideal process
