Normally, ElNopal has been one of our go to places. This location used to be the best in the area too. But the food quality has gone downhill, and service was sub-par at best.
Our meals were drastically overcooked, the chicken tacos were dry and chewy. The steak on the meal for the kid was overcooked and hard to eat, which we paid extra to have it steak instead of chicken. I don’t mind the up charge, but it should be reasonable to have edible food. The chicken fajita nachos were overly salted and chewy as well. Overall, the food seemed like it just spent too much time in a microwave re-heating something that was pre-prepared.
Our server was friendly at first, but overall inattentive. No refills on drinks offered until after the meal, and sat after the meal with the dishes cleared for around 8-10 minutes until the check was brought to us. I did notice him numerous times standing in the back of the dining area just focusing on his phone. Not that that was any different from the other workers gathered around the front entrance with a similar posture. The place just was not ip to standards.
If I am going to have poor service, the food should at least be good. But poor service and sub-par food just makes for a bad experience.
At the prices for food at a restaurant, the quality should be better.

Not good today. Ate at this location a few months ago and it was fine. Today my food was terrible. I ordered their shrimp tacos. The fried shrimp were awful. You can tell they haven’t changed out their cooking oil, the shrimp had a terrible taste and the flour tortillas were cold. I should have sent the food back. It came with 3 tacos and I ate one. The chips also had the same burnt/ old frying oil taste. The rice was also overcooked. Our server was also inattentive and seemed distracted. I left with my stomach hurting. Won’t be back.

Portions here were much larger than other El Nopal restaurants in Louisville. Servers were much more attentive and courteous. Chips were hot, drinks never got empty. Dixie Valley needs to be re-trained by this location.

Consistently had great service and great food here. The owner/manager frequently checks in with guests which is always appreciated. Servers are always polite and act like a team to make sure no table sits too long without service. Prices are reasonable and serving size is well worth it!

Good portions, fair prices, and definitely quality food. The service was ok but not great. I’ll definitely try this out again. If you like mole, they do have it here. It’s on the sweeter side but still pretty good.

I love me some Mexican food but today we not it. I go to this place frequently and never really had an issue but today was not good.Food over cooked kinda chewy. Long story short the best thing to have here are the drinks. A+ to the bartender.

Not as good as I had hoped. Service was good, but the food wasn’t as good as we had hoped for. Tough place to get a dairy-free vegan meal.
