Friday was the first time I had been in this place, and I was impressed. It is hard to find "real" Mexican food outside of the big cities and the border states, and this place is very authentic in my opinion. I am not a huge adventurer when it comes to my food, and when I go somewhere for the first time, I usually stick with a staple favorite by which to judge the place. I had a taco, which was very good, and the salsa for the chips was even authentic as it was watery, and not the chunky American knock-off. El Nopal also had a nice little enviorment to it. It was smallish, so it was fairly intimate. The restaraunt is located on 9th Street, in between Washington and Franklin Streets. I do know that they are planning Dingus Day and Cinco De Mayo celebrations, so those might be worth checking out, but it is a nice place to eat, even on a ordinary night.

Check it out if you get the chance.
