La Nopalera Mexican Restaurant Philips Highway Menu

If you're craving bold, authentic Mexican flavors, La Nopalera on Philips Highway serves up a menu that feels like a passport to Mexico. From the very first bite, this place impresses.

Kick things off with their Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers or go all in on the Table Side Guacamole — creamy, zesty, and made fresh right at your table. I loved dipping into their Queso con Chorizo, which delivers a perfect spicy kick.

For lighter fare, the Chicken Tortilla Soup is a warm, comforting classic, while the Fajita Taco Salad adds that sizzling twist with grilled veggies and meat. Speaking of sizzle, their Fajitas Oaxaca are a showstopper — a smoky, grilled mix of shrimp, steak, and chicken that's rich and deeply satisfying.

Don't skip the Quesadilla Supreme or the indulgent Shrimp Fajita Quesadilla — melty cheese meets tender meats in every bite. If enchiladas are your thing, the Enchiladas Parmesanas are a cheesy, saucy dream.

Taco lovers, rejoice. From classic Asada Tacos to flavor-packed Birria Tacos and even creative options like the Chorizo-Papa Taco or Surf and Turf Taco, there’s something for every craving. Burrito fans can dive into the massive California Burrito or the seafood-packed Burritos Del Mar.

Their Bistec Ranchero and Pollo Tampiqueño are hearty, well-seasoned mains, and seafood lovers will enjoy the Filete Veracruz or crispy Mojarra Frita. Even vegetarians have standout choices like the Spinach Quesadilla or Vegetarian Fajitas.

Wrap it all up with a Churro or some Fried Ice Cream, and you’ve got a meal worth repeating.

La Nopalera’s menu is more than just food — it’s an experience bursting with tradition, flavor, and flair.
