Don't let the "express" in its name fool you. It is the same Nopalera everyone loves but you pay at the register on your way out, I think... I got takeout and I saw everyone make a line to pay and leave. Same great food as always. If you are gonna do takeout it is recommended to try and call it in ahead of time bc this place is busy at lunch and the parking lot gets full quickly. Definitely worth a stop if you are around this part of town. Come check it out.

Food is outstanding, quick service and exceptional taste. Reminds me of dining out in California. Love getting the Fajita Nachos for lunch. Always piping hot. You will enjoy the food here.

We have eaten here a couple times in the last few months, and it was very good both times. The our last Go To Mexican Restaurant become very hit or miss so hopefully they keep tasting good every time. Only disappointing thing was the fried ice cream, seemed like it was a scoop of ice cream with apple jack cereal sprinkled on top.

After visiting a friend on a cold December night, me and my family decided to warm ourselves with some good Mexican food. Even though we were 30 minutes from closing time, we were greeted with patience and by Patience....literally. Our waitresses name was Patience and it suited her well. Our food arrived in a short time, a burrito for the lady and a Chicken LaNopalera for me. It’s hard to describe with words but I was happy I finished that plate. It was so good. I live 40 minutes from here and wouldn’t think twice about driving around town to get a little taste of Mexico again. Me gusta mucho! PS: Even my 3 year toddler said his chicken tenders were his favorite!

I would prefer to not review because I want to be sure they don't get crazy busy but they deserve it. Very good food. Very nice service. A nice surprise. We will be back. Clean and fresh. Small and intimate but very comfortable.
