Ordered a chicken and spinach burrito. Well there was no spinach in it .Just dry chicken, beans and rice .Asked them too put some jalapeños or habenors in it .well they didn't do that either. DISAPPOINTING AT BEST.!

Great food. Never ate in the restaurant, carryout only. Spot on most of the time...recorrection! Last 2 carryout fajitas had no tortillas. We live way on the other side of town. So going back to get them was out of the question especially with gas the way it is now. We called and no solution was provided. Also, food is Luke warm.

This place was absolutely disgusting. We were sat in the bar section and I had a direct view of the salsa they serve and the chip warmer. The salsa is stored in a bucket on a shelf barely off the floor with the lid only partway on. They put a pitcher on the floor and pour the salsa in to fill up the bowls they serve. I saw a man with a large trash can on wheels dumping chips from it to the warmer. The inside of the can was so gross. The floor was also absolutely disgusting looked like it hadn’t been swept or mopped all day.
The service was excellent and the food was good by I was so grossed

I've eaten here on several occasions and have yet to be disappointed. It's not the best Mexican food I've ever had, but for more of an Americanized Mexican, it's really good.

I prefer their ACP dishes, cuz CHEESE. Ha. I ordered a half version of their ACP Tex Loco (steak, chicken, shrimp). The portions are really large so even the half was a little more than I could finish off. I love that they well do the veggies, as asked, so they're always soft and cooked through. The cheese and proteins are so plentiful so the dish isn't dry or lacking in anyway. My steak, chicken

1st time in & went on a friend's recommendation. Health rating is 95.5 We sat at the small bar in the back & it was too loud with the festive music battling with a soccer game playing loudly on the TV. The food & service was good. They have an extensive menu with lots of great selections. We will be back.

We drove from Asheville to eat here after hearing about it from family members. It was absolutely worth the drive and did not disappoint. The portions are huge, and the prices are so reasonable. We will 100% be back for more!

Quite possibly the worst Mexican food I have had. Meat like rubber
Mushy tasteless beans, just yuck!

What a great find! Authentic Mexican food. The fresh guacamole was the best I have had. It's not quite what I'm used to, but it's amazing. We had tacos and a chicken dish. Everyone was happy. The staff and fellow diner were very nice. Prompt service. No frills. Prices were very reasonable.

Covid comment:
No one seemed very stressed about wearing masks.

Food was good but nothing special to rave about. The service was good, our waiter was very nice and refilled our chips when he saw it low.
Unfortunately my stepdad went into the men's bathroom and saw it was filthy.

We have been coming here so many time. When we get wrong order, we told server about this. He said he would come back. He hasn't came back. We tried to catch him. He seems to ignore us. We got another server. They were running around. We finally got the check and paid. I don't know if we come back. They were really good. This evening wasn't pleasant.

This restaurant has delicious food and serves ample portions. The problem I have with them is that they have there a little regard for Covid mitigation. Last time I was in the waiters and most of the staff were not wearing masks. In this time of the spread of Covid being so crazy everyone in the restaurant should be wearing a mask. I had to request our waiter wear one and then after that he did not. Nor did some of our servers. So enjoy the food but risk getting Covid. I can't do that and won't be back again until long after Covid has died down.

Really enjoyed our pit stop here. Really good authentic Mexican food. Portion sizes for the specials were a tad small but otherwise totally worth it. Prices were great! Highly recommend!

Good food for a good price. We ordered takeout due to the virus. Staff was wearing gloves and masks. They were very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. I’ve added many pictures because they don’t have a good online menu yet.

Still great today! Good food at a reasonable price. Big portions. It is bigger inside than it looks from the outside. In back, there is a full service bar which can serve drinks to your table. Pictured are lunch sized specials. Nice atmosphere and decorations. The place was 3/4 full at 2pm on a Saturday when we went. Located in a strip mall in front of the super Walmart.

This was second time trying Nopale's. Underwhelmed at best. Service was fast and good. The food lacked flavor and was unappealing. Had fajitas that tasted like unseasoned chicken on peppers and onions. The tortillas were cold. The rice was however good. My son had ACP and was almost inedible. Rice mush with boiled chicken was how he described it. Doubt we will ever return.

While coming home from Asheville, we got hungry and decided to stop in Marion for dinner. This place was the closest Mexican restaurant we found to the interstate so we decided to try it. On a Saturday evening the line was out the door! It moved fairly quickly, but there was a large party that was taking up most of the tables in the middle of the room so not sure this would happen on a normal weekend night.

The service was hit or miss. Our waiter was kind and efficient, but we'd go for longish periods without seeing him. Again, busy night so we understood.

The food is actually very

Worst salsa I have ever had in my life, it tasted like watery Mexican ketchup that had never heard of onions or jalapeños. On the plus side the chips were good with a nice crunch to them. Can't go wrong with a house margarita on the rocks right? Wrong, I was presented the sickliest, sweetest margarita which may have never met tequila. It also came in a joke sized glass that was impossible to drink out of without spilling. Sure you could drink it with a straw but then why ask for a salted rim? I tried to go safe for mains too and ordered chicken quesadillas but ended up with cheese quesadillas

Went during dinner. Pretty busy but still quickly seated and served. Water and lemon was fine. Chips were crispy and salsa was decent. Main meal was flavorful although an interesting mix of flavors. All food was hot coming out. Service was friendly and quick to meet needs.

Overall: 80/100

This place is so good and delicious very authentic Mexican food. I moved here from Las Vegas and knowing the food out there is as good as it is I'm very picky about Mexican food so if you want good authentic Mexican food I would highly recommend this place

Cool decor, friendly staff and the food tastes good and comes out fast. Prices are extremely reasonable too.

On the complaint side, the margaritas were weak, the floors were mildly littered, and half the options in their salsa bar needed refills. Still, I'd give them another chance next time I'm in the area--but I'll stick to beer next time.
