The Templo Bautista Becomes The New Nopalito Restaurant
– 1968 –


Nopalitos Restaurant 1

The New Building

Located right around the corner from their first restaurant was the Templo Bautista church where Mr. and Mrs. Gallegos first met. When the church decided to move they knew it was just the right place to expand.
