Real family Mexican cooking with fresh ingredients and reasonable prices

by bheansidhe at Citysearch

A friend who lives in the area brought us to El Nopal on Cobb Parkway, and we're so glad she did. It's housed in an older building decorated with the standard bright paint, pinatas, and Mexican tchochkes. It doesn't look like anything special, but don't worry: all the care and attention goes to the food, just as it should. Nothing tastes canned or jarred, not even the table salsa.

Our favorites are the Chile Colorado, a generous portion of steak in a dark, rich, thick red chile sauce; the shrimp cocktail, which is also very generous; and the chicken enchiladas.

• Pros: Large portions of tasty homestyle Mexican cooking, friendly service.
• Cons: Not fancy, and a bit of a drive from midtown Atlanta.
