Nopalito


If you love Mexican food, try to live sustainably, and don't mind waiting around for a table for a while, definitely check out Nopalito


Nopalito (noun) means a slice of nopal, or cactus leaf, used in Mexican cuisine


we split Totopos con ChileTortilla chips, salsa de arbol, cotija cheese, crema and lime


and Taquitos de Papa con Espinaca: Crispy rolled tortillas, potato, spinach, jalapeño, onion, guacamole, crema, queso fresco and salsa brava 


housemade strawberry lemonades + hibiscus-valencia orange


two orders of Carne Asada con Nopales y Chorizo: Grilled sirloin steak, cactus, chorizo, refried black beans, queso fresco, and salsa pasilla negro 

+

two orders of Quesadilla Roja con Chicharrón: Mulato chile-corn tortilla, crispy pork belly, salsa cascabel, jack cheese, queso fresco, onion and cilantro 

it tasted great, but wasn't the most photogenic order around. On my next visit, Ceviche Nayarita (Marinated fish, calamari, lime, cucumber, carrot, avocado,
salsa piquin and tortilla chips) needs to happen, as well was the carnitas!
