Diners can begin with an appetizer called nopalitos—a cactus salad tossed with homemade pico de gallo and queso fresco ($4.49)—before diving into entrees such as the taco oaxaca with black beans, avocado, and chorizo wrapped in a handmade corn tortilla ($8.49). The menu also includes enchiladas de mole negro packed with chicken ($8.95), and a cheese chili relleno smothered in a spicy sauce ($9.49).

El Nopal

The menu at El Nopal reads like an encyclopedia of oaxacan food. A colorful, high-resolution picture of fresh guacamole and homemade tortilla chips graces the first page alongside a list of other appetizers. Some are familiar, such as quesadillas and taquitos, while others embrace unconventionality, such as nopalitos—a cactus salad tossed with fresh pico de gallo. A flip of the page reveals enticing pictures of enfrijoladas, or folded corn tortillas smothered in cheese and black-bean sauce, homemade banana-leaf-wrapped tamales packed with shredded chicken, and chicken mole negro, rich with oaxacan chocolate. Bilingual servers deliver artesian beers and wine to tables while English and Spanish pop songs play in the background. For dessert, patrons can dig into tamal de dulce, handmade from sweetened corn dough, pineapple, and cinnamon, or guzzle five kinds of oaxacan hot chocolate to prevent snowmen from growing in their stomachs.

The Groupon Guide to: Posting on Craigslist

Craigslist is an online message board where people can interact with their community without ever leaving the safety and smell bubble of their own home. Here are some tips for navigating through Craig's universe:

  • Sell your apartment by describing it as "cozy," "luxurious," and "absolutely not a devil box just full of devils."

  • Get the attention of a "missed connection" you saw on the bus by mentioning a book they were reading and then the more challenging book you were reading.

  • If you're looking for a new couch, start by skimming the section for "furniture" and end by skimming the section for "cooperative families who will let you sit on their backs couch-style."

  • If you're looking for a job, check out the "TV/film/video" category first. That's where Hollywood goes to find all of their new movie stars.

I see you like to read. Would you like me to suggest some thought-provoking tomes?

  • I highly suggest the shrimp tacos, but then again everything i've had there has been good

  • The food was excellent. Hubby LOVED his Mole Negro and I thought my Jr. Pregnant Burrito was one of the best I've ever had.
