Nopalito, San Francisco/ Robyn Wolfe, Marketing

Nopalito (noh-pah-lee-toe) noun:

1. a slice of nopal (cactus leaf), used in Mexican cooking

2. a San Francisco restaurant serving traditional Mexican cuisine

Lunch at Nopalito is a dream come true for anyone who loves great Mexican food!  I’m embarrassed to go through the list of what 2 girlfriends and I ordered, but we just couldn’t stop ourselves!!

Totopos con Chile- a healthy serving of warm and salty chips, salsa de arbol, cotija cheese, crema, and lime

Tamal de Puerco con Pipian Rojo- housemade masa, stewed pork, chile ancho, chile pasilla, roasted tomatoes, sesame, pumpkin seeds, and cojita cheese

Ensalada de Pepinos con Chile y Limon- a refreshing and surprisingly simple salad of cucumbers, pickled red onions, cilantro, chile de arbol, chile guajillo and lime

Carnitas- long braised pork, orange, bay leaf, cinnamon, and beer, served with a cabbage and pickled jalapeno salad

Quesadilla Roja con Chicarron- chile ancho corn tortilla, crispy pork belly, salsa guajillo, jack cheese, onions and cilantro

And we topped it all off with a freshly frozen chocolate and cinnamon popsicle!! Yum! Oink!
