Great experience here in January 2026… the food, service and environment was great. I was visiting from out of town and will certainly visit again when I'm back in Little Rock.

The food was wonderful. Our server was great until it came to time to pay. Our bill was $49.74, my husband paid with a $100. When she brought our change, she laid down $50. My mother once said, they are stealing your money, even if it is .26¢ . So we left her a note on the receipt.

I had the Southwest Chicken Tacos for lunch. They were alright. The chicken tasted like store bought chicken from Sam's. But the sauce and fried onions made the taco stand out.
On a previous visit I had tried the Birria Tacos and those are not for me. They're not rich and heavy. They need something to cut the fat and richness of that juice.
The sides, Mexican rice and refried beans were standard but really good.
The service was good, we didn't have to wait for drinks or anything.
