El Nopal

Nopal is a cactus found in Mexico that resembles a ping-pong bat in shape. El Nopal is a cozy little restaurant situated up in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, a hop and a skip from the Canal Saint-Martin, where a limited menu of cuisine from the cactus's hometown is offered. Gorditas (cornflour doughnuts) for €3.50, tortillas packed with said cacti for €7.50, or – at the higher end of the pricing scale – flatbreads topped with meat and veg for €8.90. It's light, satisfying, and bursting with flavor, and it'll only add to Paris's obsession with gourmet fast food. There is also Mexican beer available.

Unless the shop's one and only chair are free, you'll be taken away, though the nearby Square Eugène Varlin makes for a picturesque spot for a munch and a sunbathe. The guys there are welcoming and pretty efficient. The restaurant has good service but does not take credit cards so far.
