Nopalito

"Here is a full-dress stacked enchilada, topped with both red and green chile and a fried egg."

"Chiles rellenos -- long Jim chiles stuffed with cheese, battered and crisp-fried -- is a mild-seasoned dish topped with only a little New Mexican chile. Applying the salsas provided ratchets up the heat."

"Listed as "avocado salad" on the menu, this appetizer is a simple and excellent guacamole."
Michael Stern



"Meals at Nopalito begin with green and red salsas and a basket of good tortilla chips."
