Nopal Mexican Restaurant

This is NOT a family restaurant. This is a local watering-hole (bar). Service was less than ideal. My wife wasn't comfortable there and asked to leave. Another patron came in, sat down and promptly left. Not a comfortable environment for family members. Work is ongoing on the opposite end. Didn't eat. Paid for drinks and left.

Welcome to the worst food in Whatcom County. Zero authenticity, extremely bland flavor, and it's a terrible disappointment given there are so many great food trucks who do this sooo much better. The staff is fantastic however, so if you're not going there to eat, you'll have a fine time. Ive given this place several chances over time, and it just never achieves any level of basic, tasty, delicious Mexican style food. Too bad.

The cooks used to know what they were doing at this establishment when it comes to Prawns. Place is not the same since ownership changed hands. Haven't been in several months due to change in atmosphere. Sad as I always enjoyed going there weekly. 01/23/18: Returned this past weekend and atmosphere was much more pleasant. May try food this weekend. 3/10/18: Have returned for dinner three occasions and the food is back to its previous delicious flavorful status. Wait staff is friendly and more relaxed again. 6/27/18: After the Karaoke host was fired during his shift I/we no longer support this establishment. They could have given it more time to catch on and advertised properly (add to lighter sign in the corner of property) or waited until AFTER his shift to tell him they were letting him go due to lack of interest. I'd say 8 people singing Karaoke is pretty good interest for it being every other Friday. To top that off our meals sucked! The worst Pollo A La Crema I have ever had there! ETA: Back to our usual goodfood finally! Love our neighborhood bar again

Service wasn't that great. The single bartender/waitress was working her but off trying to serve about 25 guests by herself. It was so loud in the main dining area that we moved outside where we sat with more loud drunk people on our right and people smoking cigarettes on our left but at least we didn't have to yell to hear eachother anymore. I ordered a Carne Esada Quesadilla with rice and beans and my date ordered a Chicken Burrito plate. I received a large plate of dry, stale rice and refried beans that were equally awful. How was my quesadilla you ask? Well I didn't get one ... I got a taco plate that I didn't order but the tacos were actually pretty decent (kinda salty but not horrible) so that's why I'm giving 2 stars not 1 star. She said her food was "okay" which we all know is a woman's way of saying it sucked. Our bill was $60 for just our 3 beers, her Chicken Burrito plate, my Rice and beans and my three small tacos. Will I ever come here again? Definitely not, I'm extremely disappointed
