Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

I refuse to eat at this place ever again!! I will not have the wait staff being so disrespectful, rude, and unprofessional. I posted the following explanation to Facebook and will share it here: I will never ever eat at El Nopal in Natchitoches again. Scrawny lil mexi boy was my waiter yesterday. Time to order and I wanted tomatoes and sour cream added to my tacos. He said no......TWICE!! Then I told him to hold on a minute while I found my pre-chosen 2nd choice on the rather lengthy menu. He walks off and stays gone....and gone.....and......gone! We finally ask for our ticket for the drinks, chips, and salsa that WE DIDNT EAT so we can go eat somewhere else. The little turd finally brings the bill, I take it from him and we go pay. My daughter just happens to look back at our table and sees HIM LAUGHING about the situation. She starts in on him. I have to grab her before she goes back over there. It was ALL about the ATTITUDE!! ANYWAY.......I wish everyone reading this would not eat at El Nopal in Natchitoches. We don't need that kind of business here!!

When you wanna have a ball... Who do you call?? El Nopal! El Nopal is simply the best Mexican restaurant in Natchitoches! They have the best chips and queso! And the salsa is really good too! I usually get 2 fajita chicken enchiladas with queso on top. My parents love the double fajitas. El Nopal is very fast at delivering the food! No sooner than we order the queso, our food is coming out of the kitchen! The staff is very nice! And they basically know us because we go at least once a week! If you are in Natchitoches, and are looking for some really good Mexican food and don't have a lot of time to burn, I would suggest El Nopal.

I used to love El Nopal. Never again! I went in November 2008 and there was a roach in my friend's drink. At least the staff gave us our meal for free, but it was an awful experience. GROSS. Never again.

Standard tex mex here, below average in almost every category.Drinks are poorly mixed and even top shelf options seem to rank of rot gut. But if pressed for options in a area very limited, try the fajita nachos, a flavorful cheese explosion of greasy goodness.

The atmosphere is great, it is very colorful and very fun. I ordered a chimichanga and was amazed at how fast it came. It came so fast that it felt more like I had ordered at a fast food restaurant. But it did taste much better than that. The chimichanga was actually a bit small though and I was disappointed that it wasnt' served with guacamole, but it was ok. Not one of the best I have had, but in no way bad. The beans and rice that were served with it were the standard fare. The salsa was great, the chips were not fresh though. The service was very good, he took our order promptly and checked on us enough, but not too much. It was a good lunch, but in fairness there is better Mexican food in Natchitoches.

I really used to enjoy lunches here but this place has really gone downhill in the past couple of years. I made the mistake of ordering a mega meal with tamale, enchilada, Chile rellano, taco, tostada, rice and beans. It was priced right but was basically slop consisting of yucky refried beans (I love fijoles, just not theirs), hamburger meat, and cheese - like sauce. The big disappointment was with the rellano. It's my contention that you can judge a Mexican or Tex-Mex restaurant by their treatment of the poblano. In this case, my favorite dish almost made me sick to my stomach. Lucky I ate before going to the bathroom and catching a glimpse at a dishwasher bussing slop from eaten plates into buckets. I almost gave the restaurant the meal back at the sight.

Delightfully quaint restaurant with good food and pleasant atmosphere. Definitely worth a try. Two of us ordered and shared for a good variety and everything was well-prepared and fresh. I'll be back, for sure.

This has changed owners & is now very good. The staff is friendly & the food delivery is not long. The chips are crispy and I like the salsa (I know that's a personal choice.) I always have the fajitas, they never disappoint. I've never had dessert or drinks there so I can't address those.
