LA NOPALERA MEXICAN RESTAURANT – Restaurant

Few Jacksonville names turn up on more street corners than La Nopalera, and the reason is consistency: a broad Mexican grill menu, portions that defeat most people, and guacamole mashed at your table with tomato, onion, cilantro and jalapeño. Beyond the fajitas and enchiladas sit the house showpieces — a molcajete of steak, chicken and shrimp in hot volcanic stone, and the parrillada, a grilled pile of steak, chicken, chorizo, carnitas and shrimp meant for sharing. Margaritas, families, noise. It does exactly what it says it will.
