"Ceviche at Nopalito is hands down one of my favorite dishes in SF. Even better when it's on a warm day. Try it with one of their micheladas!"

"Sick days can't be sick days. And that's why they invented pozole."

"Their homemade chips manage to stay very crispy even after being tossed in árbol chili sauce, onions, cilantro and cotija cheese—and then served with crema. I want these right now! And don't forget the margarita."

"It's crispy, yummy pork and the marinated cabbage that comes with it is delicious."

"I don't think I've ever eaten at Nopalito where I didn't order at least one of these. It's especially great for lunch if you're a bit hungover."

"They make their own thick and crunchy corn tortilla chips then drench them in a spicy salsa de arbol. They put cotija cheese on top with crema and lime. This is my favorite snack food, period."
