This update is for those of you who may not be aware of some significant menu price increases here, which are not reflected or updated in the Yelp "Explore The Menu" options. Recently, I ordered for takeout a Carne Asada dish which was $6.00 more than expected upon pick up. Many menu items have gone up $3.00-6.00 with the exception of the tacos whose prices are $1.00 more than the old menu. The carne asada for $20.00 was not a decent portion, and while flavorful, disappointingly, came with no sides or rice. So it appears that only the tacos come with rice and beans. If you order a carne asada now, and want it with rice, it will be around $25.00. While the food is good, the value has diminished significantly, When I spend $20.00 for Mexican takeout, I expect to feel full. This was not the case with my recent purchase. I guess success has gone to their heads. There are so many options for Mexican here, and while Los Nopales is convenient for me, I think I'll be exploring the other options. Although it's not Mexican I would recommend taking your steak need to Las Tablas. Much better value. Time to slide this baby off of the "cheap eats" lists.
Review Source:YAY! I finally found my go-to Mexican restaurant after 4.5 years of living in Albany Park. I was really beginning to wonder how there could be so many Mexican restaurants in one area and none of them are very good. Los Nopales is quaint, good service, and GREAT food...and it's BYOB! :) I had the chicken enchiladas with mole sauce. - WOW. Really, really good mole. I can't wait to go back.
