Taquería El Nopal

One of my favorite places to get authentic tacos! They are small and packed with flavor. The meats are always so juicy and tender. I love the lengua, campechano, suedero, and cabeza! The tortillas are superb, as well.

My entire family and I have been customers here for over seven years, and the quality only continues to improve. I’ve tried tacos from everywhere, and absolutely nothing compares to El Nopal. I even went to Mexico about a year ago and had authentic tacos—yet they still didn’t compare to El Nopal. The best taco place in Tampa, hands down.

Top 3 of my fav taco places to go to in Tampa Bay. Period. I always have the steak tacos. They are cooked to perfection. Flavorful. As well as the tortillas. Perfect amount of oil. Perfectly yellow and not toasted. I order extras like lettuce, tomato and avocados in addition to the basic taco. Cause it’s what I love. However. Without all that. Still fire. Wait time is more than adequate even when busy. Friendly staff. And quick service. If you live tacos. This is it. I hardly give a place 5 stars 🌟. But it’s well deserved. Their red sauce is hot without being obnoxious. However the more you add the hotter it gets. The green sauce is perfect. Not runny. Just the right consistency. Perfect.

Had al pastor, was great. Wife had steak tacos, she enjoyed. 8 yr old daughter had chicken tacos and she ate all of it. Said it was the best tacos ever. Enjoy!

Smile more! Size of food can be little big since Mexican usually is more than a double. Also I completely believe they will be very good choice in the area
