I have tried many Mexican restaurants all around NWA and this is definitely my favorite! I love the birria burrito— it’s a huge burrito and is packed with so much flavor. If you are a fan of birria tacos, I would definitely recommend getting the burrito version. Their chips are fresh and hot too! Their portion sizes are huge and they have the best desserts. Service here is great as well. I have been consistently coming here for about a year now and noticed that their service has gotten even better. I took my sister here for her birthday (this is also her favorite restaurant) and I asked if they had any birthday specials. The female waitress we had said they don’t but gave us a free dessert! I don’t remember her name (I believe it is Maria) but she was a phenomenal server! She was very att

Stop in after a Jr High football game. We were quickly seated. We ordered our food and it came quickly. Food was really really good. Our waiter noticed us watching a NFL game on our phone and change the TV on the wall to that game without saying anything. That was awesome. The quality of food and the price was very reasonable, actually lower than you would expect. I believe our waiter name was Luis. Top notch.

Was overcharged for a small cheese dip. Receipt said 7.49. I asked the waiter to make sure that was correct and he said yes. Didn’t seem right, also didn’t think to check the menu on my phone before we left, but when I did, small cheese dip is less than $5. Also, 4.99 for a domestic bottle beer is pricey. Frequent that place with my son as a treat, but am rethinking my options.

When I Order they didn’t know what kind of protein they had. The tacos are not as good as I thought really .Four dollars for one taco and this is what I got. I order more than one, but this is how they look for four dollars. I don’t think it’s worth it.

★★★★★ 5.0 Lonnie Sanders · Apr 2025

We took advantage of the nice weather and rode up for a couple drinks and appetizers , we had Top Shelf Margaritas and Strawberry Daiquiris and Mexican Street Corn Dip. I'm sorry I didn't catch waiter's name but he was very attentive but not pushy , it was a great afternoon on the patio with plenty of TV's for game days
