Family El Nopalito
El Nopalito Tortilla factory Market & Restaurant has been in Encinitas for over 37 years! It is a family run business serving fresh Mexican food and fresh salsas daily. We have fresh corn tortillas made daily at our Market each morning (if your lucky and come early, you can get them served fresh and hot in the bag!).

Our fresh salsas are in the refrigerator as well as other refreshments, Mexican cheeses, fresh cut nopalitos and ready made sopes! We have a variety of spices on our spice wall and corn husks ready for tamales.
The Market provides a variety of Mexican and Latin American products from cuitlacoche to yuca flour and pan dulce delivered daily for your cafecito. In the carniceria you can buy chicharrones and carnitas by the lb, along with queso fresco and membrillo.
Currently at the El Nopalito Restaurant we have a variety of traditional Mexican dishes and daily specials such as “pollo en mole”, “costillas de puerco en salsa verde con nopales”, “barbacoa”, “chicharrones” and the specials are all served with beans and rice plus 3 hot corn tortillas.
