I am honestly not sure how there are so many good reviews here?? We ordered two burritos - steak and shrimp and while the shrimp was somewhat decent (hence the extra star) the steak was not good at all. Meat was dry and there was much sour cream that it overpowers the flavors and became a soggy mess (see picture below). Both burritos fell apart after only a few bites making the eating experience very messy. They lacked any depth of flavor and were basically a disaster. Despite not even finishing them we felt nauseous after…not worth the visit. Update: the burrito that “we built” as mentioned by the owner’s response was from the help of your kitchen staff…maybe they need better training?

OMG I finally found a Mexican restaurant in Colorado I didn't get angry at when I got my food. We just moved from SoCal, and after a few REALLY bad experiences, I swore off CO Mexican. However, when I saw this place was named Nopalito’s and had 4.8 stars, I decided to take a chance. Their Baja Fish Tacos feel like home. I'm so excited to have found a legit Baja style Mexican restaurant here. They have yummy fruit soda/sparkling waters here too. And a marg bar, but I didn't try one of those this time.

Perfect little spot to grab some tacos and enjoy the view of the front range from their patio (where we were allowed to have our dog!). They have fast and friendly service and everyone works together to get your order just right. Try the house salsa! It's the perfect spice level. They have compost, trash, and recycling bins when you're all done- I like their commitment to sustainability! The line style ordering is easy and care free.

I pre-paid for food to pick up several days in advance. I attempted to call the restaurant before coming, to let them know I was on my way, but no one answered. I didn't think much of it as sometimes, during the dinner rush, restaurant won't answer. When I arrived for my 4:30pm pick-up, I found out that they had been closed since 2pm for "maintenance". There was NO updated message on their phone letting people know. No one attempted to reach out to me, and I ended up needing to make other arrangements for dinner for my family. I'm still waiting for my refund.

Edit/reply: Thank you for your reply. If that is true. Then that means the Doordash misinformed me. They claimed that they had submitted the order already, which is why they didn't know to reach out to me, and that you where closed. At this point I'm stuck in a he/said she said, and until I have more info, I will move my rating to 3. There is no option to leave comments...

I have been (impatiently) awaiting the reopening of Nopalito’s since they closed for the big relocation to 29th Street and am so excited they’re open again! My partner and I ordered delivery for the grand reopening and ran into a hiccup when the third-party delivery service didn’t show up, but the incredible team and owner of Nopalito’s went above and beyond and personally delivered our order even though it was not their fault the third-party service didn’t make it happen.

Boulder is a small place and it’s rare to find good, consistent food - much less good, consistent service - and I am so glad Nopalito’s is finally reopened, in an even better location, with the same fantastic food and unparalleled service. Highly recommended to anyone and everyone (and definitely try the flautas - they are my favorite thing on the menu and the best flautas I’ve found...

I am very glad I found Nopalito's. Primarily, they serve burritos, though there are a number of other items on the menu. We all know that there are plenty of places to get a burrito, but there are a few differences at Nopalito's. First, all of the ingredients are fresh and well made. Nothing just sitting around under plastic. Second, you can put together some unique combinations to get exactly what you want (including a fried chicken burrito that will knock your socks off). And best of all, when it is all stacked up a ready to roll, they will mix it all together! No more bites of all guac, sour cream, or just rice. I did not ask, this is just their SOP. And it matters, at least to me.

Bottom line, there are a lot of places for burritos, but Nopalito's is a big step up in quality and taste without a big step up in price. Find this place and...
