El Nopalito — Restaurant in Galveston

We wanted to love this place, however there were multiple issues we had. We were told to seat ourselves which is fine, however it took over 15 minutes to get a menu. It took almost an hour after that to get our food which was unfortunately not good: cold cheddar cheese on chilaquiles and beans that taste canned. The waitresses are running around frantically appearing busy but not getting anything done. We asked for a coffee refill twice, our waitress was so frantic and confused she even brought the coffee pot, set it down, turned around and took it back with her without even giving a refill.
