My parents and I stopped here for lunch after Mom had a second hair cut within a two week period. Luckily, she loved this haircut! Nopalitos has been a staple of good, tasty Mexican food in Anahuac, Texas for years! I've always enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and the personal service.

A restaurant in anahuac TX that serves pretty good Mexican food. Service is great and has a local, layed back atmosphere to just relax. Prices are about the same as you would find at other Mexican restaurants. Stop by when you're in the area.

Excellent service! That's the best thing of all that one could possibly ask for as a paying customer. But they're friendly attitude and helpful spirit goes above and beyond good service. Oh and by the way the food's darn good too. And I even had enough for leftovers. And don't forget order a margarita!

Beef fajitas are amazing! Very good chips and salsa. Truly a hidden treasure for Mexican food!
