Reviews of El Nopal Mexican Cuisine Gardine ln
The restaurant was clean with a good atmosphere. Our waitress was courteous and efficient. The food was plentiful but not filling, which is good. We enjoyed our visit and I recommend this restaurant highly.
I had a beans & rice snack here today ! It was very tasty ! Black beans ! I also had mild & spicy salsa ! Tortilla chips delicious !
Huge portions and fast service even on Cinco de Mayo. Our server was great!
I have always enjoyed the food at the several El Nopal restaurants I have visited throughout Louisville. They've all been clean, and have a pleasant ambience but this one seems not have an adequate sense of what good customer service should look like.
It was 1:30 and except for me and the staff, the place was empty until 2 more customers came in. If I'm done with my meal, in need of a take-home box or bill and see that a restaurant is busy, I accept the fact I might have to wait a while to get a server's attention. This day, in a nearly empty restaurant I could see my server doing nothing. She never came by to ask if I needed anything during the meal. When I was ready to take home my uneaten food, I sat for several minutes giving clear signals I was done. I finally stood, grabbed a nearby Styrofoam box, scraped my food into it, still standing, giving clear indication I was ready to go. But my server, whom I could still see seated, didn't look my way.
People in this country have a reasonable expectation of a pleasant EXPERIENCE at a restaurant. It doesn't take extraordinary effort for a server to provide that, in addition to the basic effort of taking an order and delivering it.
Ignoring or being oblivious to a customer's needs is ultimately a management failure. When a server is put on the floor it is the job of MANAGEMENT to ensure that each server understands the various expectations of the customer.
Will I return to the Gardiner Lane or any other El Nopal restaurant? Very likely, yes. Will I give a better review, if asked? I hope so.
Amazing food. Great experience i had the tortilla soup and steak tacos. Amazing. So much food. I even had take some home. Definitely gona finish later!!
You have to come here! The staff is amazing as well!!
Thank you for a great lunch
Order lunch specials today. Unfortunately the waiter didn't understand I wanted the special off the board when you entered and I got something other than what I wanted. BUT El Nopal is a good place to get food fast at a great price.
The waiter was not quite friendly until he brought the check. Hard to get refills on drinks or more chips. When we asked, he did not reply but would bring them after a long amount of time.
Unusual, we used to love this place .....
This one is now my go to Mexican restaurant. The food portions are large, the menu is extensive, the prices are reasonable, and the service is really good. I'd recommend.
Just another great place to go eat
Not the best Mexican food but a great place to get fast good tacos and burritos and quesadilla's, and a giant beer and great margaritas 😋
We went on a very busy weekend night. The staff was great despite having several very large groups in and countless carry out orders.
My special request for a dairy-free version of my entree was perfect! The kitchen staff was cranking out the orders and still maintaining their high standards.
And even though they were soooo busy, they kept up with sanitizing menus, clearing/sanitizing tables, and the bathroom was spotless.
Definitely eat here! Very professional staff and management!
Always reliable service and food. Never had a bad meal.
Best authentic Mexican food you can find quiet atmosphere great for the family
Best El Nopal location we have been to ever. Food and service both was amazing. Food was beyond good 😋 …
Portions are extremely generous. Staff was very friendly. Didn't have offer to refill my soda (I no longer drink alcohol). Was dining with an old friend and we were talking a lot so perhaps they thought they would be interrupting. Overall a good experience for eating out.
Fast friendly service. Food was served quickly and very tasty. Excellent serving sizes. If you choose to wash it down with a drink, o recommend a frozen Margarita!
Taco salad disappointing - ground beef and refried beans were a slushy mess. Need separated
I got the chicken salad bowl & it was yummy & the staff was very nice, thx
As usual! Tasty food. Great drinks - Sangria was sweet and refreshing. Quick service. All round good experience.
I’ve been to serval locations and town and this one is definitely my favorite to go to. I unfortunately moved to the other side of town so I don’t get to go to this one anymore. But they have excellent service.
Great Mexican food with fast service and strong drinks.
Good food and fast service everytime
Food was great but service not so must
Please stop microwaving the fries when your busy. I wouldn't buy them if I known that your gonna microwave them. It's my sons favorite thing to order other than salsa.
I really like this location. Its very convenient. Service is fast. Food is always delicious and hot ! Queso is always delicious too !
Very clean. Nice clean bathrooms. Fast services and friendly staff
We had a work lunch here.. the food came out quickly. They were very attentive to us.
My chicken taco salad were delicious!
I have been to many El Nopal's in the area and always order the same meal (chicken fajitas with pineapple) but this is the first time it came in a pineapple and was so beautiful and delicious. I will drive the hour to come back to this one.
The food was delicious. There are many options on the menu including TexMex and more traditional Mexican dishes. There are 2-3 specials you can choose. We had a hard time with the slow service--it seemed almost like our server forgot about us a few times.
Did anyone actually read this? "Like" if you did!
I’ve had a few bad experiences here. One in which we found plastic in our food and when we told the waitress, she didn’t really react or offer to do anything about it. We aren’t really the type to complain, so we didn’t make a scene about it but it was gross. Then they messed up our bill, charging us for food they never brought us. However, this is a place that our extended family frequents, so we tag along often. We have also had very great experiences here too. So, some good some not great.
I got the chicken grande quesidila. It was wonderful. Great food, great service and great place for any occasion. Ate there again and had the tilapia with rice and avocado. I ate every bite. It was AWSOME!
Our server was very nice and friendly. We ordered the steak and chicken fajitas, we didnt have to wait long for our food. It came out hot and fresh, our server kept our drinks filled and made sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be back !!!
I love alllll el nopal’s but the one on Bardstown Road near 264 express way was amazing food was great fresh great amazing customer service not to say all el nopales doesn’t have great customer service this el nopal was on point around 1:24 to 1:30ish I want to thank the manger in alllll the employees at EL NOPAL 🌮🌮🥙🥙🍤🍤🍲🌯🥗 keep up the great work sincerely the happiest man ever me Da’Mian
😍taste food with friendly staff …
Great service with excellent enormous portions. I have never been disappointed. Lots of TVs with sports of all sorts. Plenty of parking and the facility was very clean. Can't wait to return!
Our server Abraham was awesome. Food and margarita's were delicious!
It was nice. The food was tasty as so were the margaritas. It was a very enjoyable experience.
Clean restaurant good food good service praise the Lord thank you Christ Jesus for El Nopal Mexican Cuisine...🙂
Always good food and consistent fast service..one guy had four plates on his arm to bring out to customers. Dinner and a show!
Always good food and a good price. The staff is always friendly. Service was very fast.
only ate there twice and each time I felt rushed uncomfortable and like im being watched. the first time I was waiting on a friend and I sat there ordered a beverage and 30 min passed by my friend lived far and I was already on my way, waiting wasn't a problem in that 30 min I got asked 5 or more times to order when I repeated each time I was waiting on a friend. While being watched by waitresses and workers in the restaurant my particular waitress talked about how long I was there in Spanish in a joking matter with other staff when my friend arrived I explained to her my horrible experience and we took our food to go. the second time I ate by myself on a lunch break and I experienced being rushed to eat order and leave again i felt uncomfortable and being watched while I waited after I had finished eating I talked on my phone for 10min or so . I wont go there again that particular waitress was rude and nasty when I was nice and respectful even when upset I wont go again
There food is very good, I was carrying out which is a long wait. This is the second time I've carried out from there the first time I called my order in and still waited 20 minutes after I got there. This time I thought I would see if ordering there would be quicker, they weren't busy but my go order took 30minutes after ordering.
Friendly, warm, inviting staff. They are always happy to see us and make my daughter feel very special.
Each meal is consistent, every single time.
My favorite dish is a modified Monica's platter. A bed of lettuce instead of rice and topped with Pico de Gallo. I know, when I ask for it, it will delivered exactly as it was the first time I asked for it.
i come here when i am on the edge. i get sat down. they bring me my frozen margarita. they bring me my combo fajita. i live another day.
Love Claudia here. She always takes such great care of us when we visit. We actually switched from the Mall to this location when we found out she was here. I had to give a 4 star, because I am so burned out on Mexican food. It is good here, but it seems as if Mexican is the only place anyone wants to go anymore, and I'm done with it and pizza. Claudia got the 4 for El Nopal. I really enjoy the fish here.
My favorite El Nopal in Louisivlle.
Two bartenders, Jose and Claudia are as good as they get. Always friendly and on top of their jobs.
Food is normally very good. Love going during lunch hour as the prices can be as low as $6, depending on what you buy.
Very decent prices for 32 oz beers.
Service was great. Margaritas are the best. Food was hot & fast.
They have (in my opinion) the best mole sauce I've had in quite a few years. The service was good, the portions are plentiful and the prices are very fair.
Food is awesome! Service is fabulous! Love this place! Come 2 to 3 times a week!!
Covid conciencious .Temperature was taken at the door.Socially distant seating.Our service was good.We had a hard time scanning QR code so we were given a disposable paper menu.My taco salad was wonderful.
We love this chain for Mexican cuisine. We usually go to the location on Outer Loop, but this one is just as good. Excellent food, good prices, no one ever frowning.
Always good food and good service at a great price. You will always leave full and happy!!! This location is quite spacious too.
Great food, and lots of it! Stopped for lunch. Service was slow though.. It was mid-afternoon and they kept forgetting about us..
Great food. Excellent service! Weekly lunch special was $5.99. Plenty for me. Love the chips and Salsa.
This is my get away place to eat. Love the food and quick service.
Good chips and salsa. I had the lunch portion of enchilada rice and beans.
I would request sour cream because otherwise it was a bit dry.
This place is the best! The Manager (Ceasar) continues to hire the best staff!....Have you ever been to a Chick-fil-a.....The staff is great right?.....That is the kind of service you get here!!! Only the Mexican way!.....This place is absolutely awesome! .. I highly recommend this place to anyone ÷!! $
The staff is the best ever! They treat me like family & the food is amazing. If you haven't visited yet you are missing out!
We love this place. .. the food is always yummy and the service is great! !!!
Friendly attentive staff and international sports on the televisions. Mexican-themed decor. Food is standard Mexican-American fare. Okay, but unremarkable.
Always delicious and fresh! Tasty and the staff is the best! I buy 2 pints of salsa every time!
Always friendly staff, clean place, food is fairly expensive depending on what you order, although that's usual with any Mexican/Chinese food. Staff is always polite. Usually pretty busy Friday/Saturday evenings. Plays games on TV and does has a bar.
Good. Clean. Large menu. Always enjoy. Great drink specials.
Pretty standard for a small chain restaurant of this type. Typical menu with numbered combos. Great location, good atmosphere downtown.
My friends and I go every Monday. The staff remember our orders and are super friendly. The food is delicious and cheap.
The staff was so friendly and I had my Bible and I was doing a very abbreviated study and they were extremely accommodating and they made me feel like all lives matter.
Great food at a great price served spicy or not so spicy (for those like me with a bland tongue) the waiters are excellent here I extremely recommend this place for courtesy and for great food at a reasonable price unlike some other big-name places.
Great service and food they even gave my 2 children balloons to leave with and they are handling social distancing perfectly
Food & service was wonderful
Outside dining was nice. Food was good.
Food is ALWAYS good and hot, never a long wait, the service is always nice too. We always Get in and get out within 30 mins for our take out.
I like Mexican food but this El Nopal is the most uncomfortable restaurant I have ever been to
The waiters check on you so many times
Like during the 30 min that we were there, they just came up at least 7 times
Also I personally didnt understand their accent
I dont tip because I dont eat anything but if i did eat, i wouldn't tip tbh
I had the Enchiladas #13 from the combination dinners. It was superb. Great service and friendly service.
Food tasted good but the last 2 times I have went there have gotten sick too stomach. Could be due to keto diet
Food is good. Prices are good. A good place if you want grab a bite of authentic Mexican food without breaking the bank.
Good atmosphere and good food, but not great. Same flavors and options as any other Mexican restaurant.
Good food, good service, very clean, no complaints.
Food tasted good, they even offer some specials, but the service is definitely not one of the best
Another of my favorites, always good food and service, this night it was the tortilla soup and carnitas dinner and we were not disappointed
Classic Mexican food served well. Menu prices are as you'd expect and the quality of the food is dependibly good.
Very good food, especially for a chain restaurant. Guacamole was particularly tasty.
Good food (most authentic in town) and very nice staff. Even the owner came around WITH A SMILE!

Ask for Yessi as your waitress. Food is great, service is awesome. Definitely worth a stop.
Just picked up food for grandkids. But a very clean place. Bathroom included. We love El Napol!
It's you basic Americanized Mexican food. The portions are large and the price are in the $-$$ price point. The staff are friendly and the facilities are clean.
