★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Ashley James · Feb 2026

If you're looking for an underwhelming Mexican experience, this is the place for you. The food was cooked fine and looked good, but lacked flavor. Angela, our server, did amazing and accommodated our needs; she was also very responsive. 🇲🇽🌮 #food #experience #server

Awesome experience of real maxican food. Excellent ambience and service by an ever smiling and courteous staff. Thank you so much for the great experience!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jason and Jaime Mitchell · Mar 2026

Food and drinks are great! We sat in a booth in the bar and Miranda was our server/bartender. She was great!! She remembered us from weeks ago and even what drinks we had. It was slow when we arrived but very busy by the time we left and the quality of service never changed.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Kisha F · Aug 2025

Since I was dining on my own I sat at the bar. The bartender was very friendly. She was quick on the drink and my dinner came out pretty quickly as well. Another guy set a seat and a half away from me and the three of us had a good time joking around. Kristen was great! I'm a wimp so the salsa was a little too hot for me. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with rice and beans. It was good but nothing over the top special. For me it was a great atmosphere. There were times of a little waiting but not too bad. Look forward to going back the next time I'm in Hot Springs.

The food and service were really good. Our server was Ashley, and she was super sweet and took great care of us. The queso dip was super delicious, and I would highly recommend it. They also have great salsa and tortilla chips. If you have a chance, get the OMG cookie dessert who doesn't love deep-fried Oreo cookies. (Included a pic of them). The restaurant was a little older but clean, and the restrooms were clean. The staff were super nice. I would go back to this restaurant again. They have a nice little fireplace area, and you can see them warming up tortillas on the grill. They also have outside dining for when the weather is nice.
