Reviews & Tips

  I am not to go out to Mexican restaurants, but I really enjoy this place. I always order the Chicken Taco Salad and it never ceases to amaze me the amount of food I get for less than $7. This is probably the best place to dine at in Calhoun if you are looking for Mexican food. I have eaten here at different times during the day and it never seemed crowded. Even during the lunch hour crowd. Don't take that as in their slow, they are busy, the building is just big enough to accommodate everyone. There is plenty of staff members and the service is very speedy.

  Margarita & pollo loco was great. Waitress was clueless about the menu. I think she was new.

  After moving to San Francisco and being spoiled with authentic Mexican food I am always amazed when I go home and eat out Mexican.  El Nopal is such a refreshing twist on American Mexican food!  Everything is so cheesy, and who doesn't love some cheese?  Last time I went in, they did not serve Cerveza, which would have been so perfect to offset the spicy of their delicious pickled jalapeños!  Oh well, I am sure they will hop on the booze bandwagon soon enough... otherwise a great place to go!!!

  Even though I live in Calhoun, I've always gone to the El Nopal in Adairsville.  My favorite dish is the quesadilla rellena.  I NEVER deviate from this entree, which can be stuffed with either beef or chicken.  I get the chicken, which is shredded and tender.  Refried beans, cheese, and a few scattered peppers are also in the quesadilla.  Lettuce, tomato, guacamole, and sour cream come on the side.  
  
  For some inexplicable reason, I still prefer the Adairsville location.  The most remarkable thing for me about the restaurant in Calhoun:  I was sitting there having lunch with my father when I heard someone on the TV announce that Michael Jackson was dead.

  I am so glad El Nopal opened a restaurant in Calhoun.  We used to frequent the one in Adairsville on Thursday nights for the Mariachi band.  Calhoun now has Mariachi night on Wednesdays.  The band members seem to vary from week to week but they are always ready to take requests.  (I request no more Rocky Top requests-- come on, people, be creative.)  
  
  The food is good, especially when you order it with the white melted cheese poured over the top.  My favorite is Chicken Quesadillas.  Of course the regular beef tacos out-do fast food ones anytime.  Just the chips & salsa with that white cheese dip can be a meal.
  
  The service is fast & friendly.  The atmosphere is casual & great for groups.
