About the menu

Nopales Mexican, located in Newport, NSW, offers an authentic taste of Mexico with a contemporary twist. The menu is a vibrant blend of fresh, bold flavors and traditional techniques. Start with the Molcajete Guacamole, a crunchy, seed-topped delight bursting with Morita chili oil and Pico de Gallo. Seafood lovers will appreciate the delicate Hiramasa Kingfish Tiradito, perfectly balanced with mango emulsified leche de tigre and creamy avocado. For mains, the charcoal-grilled Rib Eye MBS 3+ stands out, enriched with achiote lime butter and served alongside tangy Kohlrabi escabeche and fresh tortillas. The slow-cooked Beef Short Ribs glazed with agave tamarind is a melt-in-the-mouth experience. Finish strong with traditional desserts like churros paired with vanilla coconut gelato or the indulgent Pan De Elote with salted caramel gelato. With attentive service and a lively atmosphere, Nopales Mexican perfectly captures the essence of Mexican cuisine in Australia, making every meal memorable.

from a recent review —
The food is amazing! I highly recommend the sweet corn ribs as an entree. It’s delicious and quite unique to this restaurant. All the dishes including the tacos were great. The food comes out quite quickly and the service is good. The cocktails are well priced and yummy. The restaurant has a fun easy going atmosphere and a small or large group would enjoy this venue. I have eaten here twice now and will be back.
