    Asked for lemon water got regular then she brought a bowl of lemons and gave them the the table behind us asked for a straw never got one was a really long wait time on food. We didnt receive any refill on chips didnt get a chance to even ask they where just walking past super fast the table next to us got 3 things of chips. There was a chicken bone in my fajita which at that point I had just given up this was our first time going and was our last for sure. Don't recommend this place there is much better mexican food in the area

    The food is good, but wait times can be very long during events that bring crowds to Vermillion. The staff really hustles, but are overwhelmed at times.

    Honestly the best in the game. El Nopal’s food is excellent and the flavors are great. Their staff is incredibly friendly and I’m grateful and proud to be a regular. There’s a reason I’m almost going once a week🙏🏼 Best Mexican restaurant in town
