Reviews For EL NOPAL MEXICAN RESTAURANT DIXIE IN SHIVELY

My husband and I were visiting from out of town. We decided to try El Nopal because we were in the mood for Mexican and the reviews were good. We were not disappointed. The service was very good and welcoming. Our server was super sweet. In conversation my husband mentioned to her that our first date was on Valentines Day 18 years ago. After we finished our meal (which was VERY DELICIOUS), she brought out a complimentary dessert (pictured) for our anniversary (even though it was Feb 13th). That was the sweetest unexpected gesture ever!! That's what I call exceptional customer service It definitely prompted me to write this review We will for sure eat there again when we're in the area.

Nice location that I have frequented many times. Tried a new dish on this go-around and I wasn't disappointed. I had a late lunch at around 3pm and it was not crowded at all. Nice and quiet. Service was quick.

Nice, clean restaurant. Friendly, attentive staff. I ordered the chicken chimi lunch. The beans and rice were good, the chimi was so so. I hadn't had one in years and thought I would stop in. The chicken inside the chimi was very salty...for my taste. The only thing that I did not like is when I asked for a to go cup for my drink the girl bought me a to go cup with a diet pepsi instead of the regular pepsi I was drinking....I didn't know this until I got a mouthful after driving away. Other than that everything was cool.
