Eugene’s El Nopalito brings real Mexico City flavor

El Nopalito’s new spot on Willamette Street is shaking up Eugene’s food scene with true Mexico City street food—no burritos or side rice and beans here. The Ariano family, known for their food truck, now welcomes everyone to their brick-and-mortar, serving up dishes with Oaxacan cheese and even chapulines (spiced grasshoppers). Their drinks menu is all about Mexican spirits and fresh-squeezed juices. Regulars are treated like family, and the vibe is all about authenticity and community. Who’s tried the Bombazo torta or those famous margaritas? Let’s talk about what makes a restaurant truly “authentic” to you! #Food #EugeneEats #AuthenticMexican
