Este se ha convertido en mi restaurante mexicano favorito en Granada, porque es Mexicano, no un restaurante tex-mex que se hace pasar por mexicano. Nosotros estuvimos un día viernes, afortunadamente reservamos porque estaba completo, y como no! Al entrar los olores tan sabrosos te apapachan, y hacen recordar como cuándo llegabas de la escuela y al entrar a casa podías oler la comida que tu madre estaba preparando. Los camareros fueron muy amables, y si les preguntas sobre la preparación de los platillos te lo responden sin problema. Una vez te toman las bebidas, ponen en tu mesa un aperitivo, totopos caseros y tres salsas, una que no pica, otra que pica un poco, y la última que sí pica y es tatemada. Para iniciar la noche pedimos unos nachos Río Bravo, venían con tinga de pollo contundente, guacamole, frijolitos fritos, crema, pico de gallo, jalapeños y los totopos son caseros. De bebida pedimos cervezas preparadas, Mortal (cerveza, sal y limón), Inmortal (cerveza, salsas, clamato, sal y limón)y la Ultratumba (cerveza, salsas, clamato, sal, limón y picante 🌶️). Mientras veíamos el menú, vi que había enchiladas de mole y pollo con mole, muy pocos restaurantes añaden el mole en su carta, así que para la próximalo probaré. Como plato principal mi pareja y yo pedimos para compartir unas enchiladas de birria, que estaban riquísimas, el sabor de la carne, la combinación de especies que se podía probar en el caldito, tenían buen cantidad de carne y queso, la presentación era con lechuga, cebolla morada curtida y crema ácida. También pedimos unos taquitos de tinga de pollo, al principio no estaba muy convencida de pedirlos porque en otros lugares la tinga o está seca, sin sabor o es más cebolla que pollo, pero en El Nopal nada de eso, la tinga estaba jugocita, de muy buen sabor y además, estaba bien de pollo, los cuatro taquitos eran con tortilla de maíz, y traían salsa de guacamole y crema ácida 😋. Mis amigos pidieron también las enchiladas de birria, unos taquitos la pastor que también tenían muy buena pinta, y una quesadilla bechamel. Terminamos super llenos, pero se pidieron un pastel de tres leches, que me dicen también estaba muy rico. También el dueño o encargado se acercó muy amable para saber si estábamos bien o necesitábamos algo más, ese para mí fue un buen gesto. Y para finalizar nos obsequiaron unos chupitos. El total de la cuenta fueron 101€ y por persona nos gastamos como 21€ aproximadamente, para mí la cena y la experiencia valió cada céntimo.

Sin duda este restaurante tiene la esencia real mexicana y cumplió con todas mis expectativas!! Muy rico, el pastel azteca fue increíble, y el personal ni se diga, el chico y el hombre de rojo muy majos, me ha encantado, un sitio para repetir mil veces!!

Personal muy amable. La carta es auténtica mexicana, con el punto perfecto en aliños y sabores. Recomendable al 100%. Ambientación elegante y moderna

Está todo riquísimo!! Sin duda uno de los mexicanos que más nos gusta en Granada, los platos son bastante generosos, para dos personas recomiendo 2 platos, nuestro plato TOP son los nachos Río Bravo y la enfrijolada también es una delicia, el personal son super amables y te saben aconsejar bien los platos! Siempre es un placer repetir.

Fuimos a comer hoy a medio día y nos encantó. La decoración del local es muy bonita, el servicio excelente y la presentación de los platos igual. Nos quedamos con ganas de probar muchas cosas por lo que repetiremos sin duda. Pedimos los nachos con pollo, tacos birria y una tarta de lima, y todo estaba exquisito. Una experiencia muy recomendable.

Food is totally amazing! I was amazed by the mole! Tacos, huaraches and drinks. Very authentic Mexican flavors. So far one of the best Mexican places out of Mexico.

When going to a Mexican restaurant I always ask between a traditional dish and an Americanized one to see which they recommend. This restaurant prizes the traditional. The mole enchiladas were delicious, the tacos Al pastor simply disappeared, and the extra hot salsas they keep behind the counter were not only spicy but also tasty. If I lived in Granada it would be one of my regular restaurants. Highly recommend

Absolutely fantastic!! Our server, Adrian, was so friendly (even with a language barrier)...he gave us time to review the menu and offered recommendations! Most importantly he did not make us feel like an unwelcomed tourist....GRACIAS! Now for the food...impeccable, filling and beautifully presented. Loved everything about our experience today! I hope we have time to fit another meal in before we leave!

Clémence Yvoz

Best place!! We’ve been twice in a row! The food is great! Highly recommended!

One of the absolute best Mexican food experiences I’ve had in Spain. They even had free chips and salsa which is unheard of. And it was three different salsas. We had two different types of steak tacos and they were amazing. The margaritas were fairly priced and legit. Good flavor. All around great place. If I lived in Granada I’d be here all the time. The staff is super chill and they’re crazy fast. If you’re in Granada I highly recommend!!!

Fantastic Mexican food! I’ve been to this restaurant on two separate occasions now and it never fails to impress. The staff are very friendly and make the whole experience super relaxed. Food is fantastic and portion sizes are very generous across the board – we had fajitas and a burrito, both of which were delicious and I would certainly recommend. If I find myself back in Granada then I will be sure to stop here for a bite to eat and I’d recommend you should too!

Great food, huge portions and the quality of sauces and different vegetables is impressive. Really friendly service also. Special mention to Kevin behind the bar, very friendly and efficient service

jade Schlegel

Good food! The staff was friendly, the service was quick and the prices were fair. Their tacos were great as well! While it's not the typical Mexican food Americans are used to it is still pretty good!

Can’t beat it! Delicious Mexican food and even better service. The tapas are excellent but definitely order off the menu too. The restaurant complies with all Covid measures (distance, masks etc). A must visit when in the city 👌🏻

Nabil Marquez

We only went there for a quick drink, and we found an amazing experience. The decoration and overall ambience was on point, the margaritas were tasty (I didn't had any, but my group loved them) and the only tapa we only had a chance to try, quesadillas, had a great melty cheese with an amazing flavor. Be warned, the red hot sauce that screams 'hot' is truly HOT. I learnt it the hard way.

Fantastic dinner! I was impressed by how authentic the food was, and how they excel in comparison to your average American "Mexican" restaurant. Wish I could pack this place up and take it with me! If you are ever visiting Granada, add this place to your list.

Probably the best Mexican dish I have ever had. I cannot remember it name but it is on the 'specials', chicken and onions in a taco with this amazing mole poblano and cream. Great friendly service…

Descubrí este sitio de casualidad y fui con mi chico a probarlo. Comida muy rica. Pedimos unos nachos con queso y jalapeños, unos tacos y unas quesadillas. Todo muy rico. Un sitio con mucho encanto

Servicio muy rápido y comida rica. Grandes cantidades por eso, se recomienda compartir si se piden entrantes. Quesadillas muy buenas y nachos también!!!

Buen sitio para comer, con algunos platos mejor que otros. Por ejemplo los tamales cochinita no nos gustaron. Los nachos y la chimichanga de cabra y mango estaban buenos. Y los postres si nos gustaron bastante.

El muchacho que nos atendió hizo lo que pudo. Estaba prácticamente solo para todo el Restaurante. Nos recomendó bien. La comida correcta. Sin más. Los dueños deberían de cuidar a los empleados.

Con los totopos/nachos cenas bien, pero para mi gusto solo le han puesto condimentos por encima y llega a la mitad. El aguacate para mi gusto no estaba tan bien. Trato increíble e instalaciones preciosas.

I visited this restaurant in August 2023. At the time, I chose not to leave a negative review, but after the long-term impact on my health, I feel it's important to share my experience for the sake of others. I ordered chicken tacos, which tasted slightly off, though the flavor was masked by the other ingredients. Within 30 minutes of returning home, I became violently ill with severe nausea, vomiting, and dehydration. Thankfully, I had travel supplements with me that helped stabilize my condition. The aftermath included weeks of recovery, medical tests, and a month-long treatment to restore my gut health. Since then, I’ve completely avoided chicken and Mexican restaurants. I hope this review encourages the restaurant to take extra care with food handling, especially in high temperatures, and to ensure strict quality control.
