Nopalito is one of our favorite lunch spots in the city. We tend to order the same thing every time we go, but sometimes we’ll try a new item. We always order the Torta de Chorizo Verde, no matter what. The sandwich comes on the most perfect, fresh baked bun with green chorizo, crema, cabbage, onions, queso fresco and guacamole with a few homemade potato chips on the side. When the citrus is fresh, the Naranjas y Cebollas con Chile, Limon y Queso is killer. Blood oranges, grapefruit, oranges, queso fresco, pickled onions and cilantro all on one plate! The gordita is a nice starter although a pain in the ass to share. My date also loves the Carnitas but I’m always for the Chorizo.
The staff is always attentive and wearing different shades of green. They have a nice variety of non-alcoholic drinks, like their iced tea and simple syrup or their meyer lemonade. There are a few wine options, but I’ve always stuck with cervesa here. One of the biggest perks, our pups are allowed inside the patio! Nopalito has great vibes and great food. GO.
