Yum! Happy to move something from the "want to try" column to a report. Definitely recommended!
Right off the 5 at Santa Fe. We were the only non-Mexicans when we arrived and I was the only woman - lots of men happily eating their yummy food and watching soccer on TV. Delicious salsa bar (roasted salsa, chipotle, avocado, fresh tomato, tomatillo, etc.). Boy got a quesadilla (he said it was too spicy, but I think he just wasn't hungry). The Dad got a chicken taco, which he said was "fine." Both of them happily munched on their chips. I got a veggie burrito which was super yummy and flavorful, esp. when I mixed and matched the salsas on top. The tortilla it was wrapped in was delicious and perfectly grilled. We also got a plate of guac and chips. The guac was yummy (though yelpers report that it is "cut with sour cream").
The decor is simple but nice. There are pretty murals on the wall which kept Boy enterained ("whose house is that? whose car is that?" "what's on top of the hills?").
They are also known for lots of specialty foods that I wouldn't eat (menudo, pozole, goat stew) but you, dear readers, might enjoy.
El Nopalito is also a tortilla factory and they sell their famous salsas in their grocery store and elsewhere. I definitely want to go back!

Gotta try this one! The salsa for sale sounds like a hit. The beat we've found in our area is the stuff at Trader Joe's. Great stuff, but kind of sad to be buying salsa from a German outfit given our proximity to Mexico. Will definitely try this place just as an escape from gringolandia, and will let you know what I think. -- Dr. T
