El Nopal Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Hartford

Be careful with the waitress at this location, she either does not know how to properly do math calculations or she steals from patrons. Since she didn't bring me my bill, I walked up to the register and handed her over my CC, I had no clue that she charged me $33.28 for a meal that was supposed to add up to $18.00. When she gave me the receipt to sign, I questioned her as to why my bill was so high and her response made zero sense.

Tucked in right next to Brazil Chirauasca at the end of Madison St, there you'll find El Nopal, this most delightful Spanish...

This restaurant is a gem! ¡Que riquísimo la comida! The service was so personable and the food was absolutely authentic and delicious! Our whole family loved the experience. There was a giant blow up cactus man at the front of the restaurant and the kids loved that. The jamaica juice was so refreshing and the burritos were huge and so packed full of goodness! The carne asada was so filling and protien packed. The corn tortillas were definitely homemade and sooo good 🤤 The children really enjoyed the quesadillas and pupusas! Then she gave us this delicious fruit dessert at the end in a big cup and the kids fought over it because it was sooo good! Absolutely yummy and delicious experience! Highly...
