El Nopal 1 Hempstead

Dry tacos. Beef tongue was tough. They new a better cook.

The food is good and well, I see so many bad reviews, what I say is because if they don't like the local food, they don't cook, it's that simple, my heavens and heavens, if you don't like what you buy, you cook and finito.

Parrillada is amazing and tortas. I recomend to order takeout Kid-friendliness: Kids Menu

Nice little spot. Doesn't exactly have a restaurant atmosphere but the food well makes up for it. I personally tried the pupusas and I'm hooked. Also if you plan to get take out call ahead because everything is uncooked til you order it so its nice and fresh ?

El Nopal makes delicious Spanish food and has been there for some time now and since has opened a few more locations. I usually go to them for Pupusas which are really good not the best being Salvadorian I’ve had my share but there good enough that I do eat 1-2 times a month. They also make delicious shrimp quesadillas and chicken tostadas. My daughter loves the orchata so overall their pretty good. The have 3 tacos in hand rolled corn tortillas which was our favorite but last 2 times it was missing something which is why 4 stars. The flavor wasn’t there I’ve come to expect but again great place.
