What a sweet little mom and pop "hole in the wall" place just east of Broken Bow on Highway 70!…read moreThere are only five booths inside and a picnic table outside so seating is limited but they seem to do a lot of business through their pick up window so I think a lot of their customers take their food to go. This is a very authentic Mexican restaurant. They do not make their own tortilla chips, however, which is just as well because normally I overeat those and have no room for my entree! My husband and I both ordered the beef burrito and I was pleased with the freshness of the burrito ingredients and noted that it was not loaded with a bunch of shredded cheese. We ordered ice tea and it was fresh brewed and refreshing. Our waitress was very sweet and helpful. We would definitely return and try some more of their menu offerings. I was pleased to see on their menu too, that they served menudo on Saturdays as well as tamales. I would definitely return for that and give it a try.

Such a welcoming and friendly proprietor!!…read more Both her smile and service are 5-star++. She explained some specials while serving up some icy-cold homemade strawberry limeade that was delish on this warm sunny day. We chose the pork tacos with homemade tortillas/sopas, rice and beans w/ Cilantro, lime wedges, and choice of mild or hot sauce. All homemade, all incredibly delicious! There are a few picnic tables with umbrellas if you need shade. A 10-star experience!

I had the Carne Tampico, (Flat steak covered in Monterey Jack with squash, zucchini, onions) and 2 cheese enchiladas. It was so very good. The steak wasn't the most tender ever but it had a good flavor. The sauces on the 2 enchiladas were very good--not sure if I could pick a favorite. The chips were thin and crispy but the salsa was generic and too 'ketchup-y'.

It started to pour down rain 5 minutes into my meal, the staff let my pup and I eat at a quiet table in the back of the restaurant. I was so thankful to be able to have a good meal and not have to keep my pup in the car. The food was yummy. I ordered the steak and shrimp with horchata. I also had the brownie for dessert. It was good but a bit sugary. The steak and horchata were perfect though! Just what I needed after a long day on the road.

My husband says the best ability is availability and that holds true with this place. He also says…read moreI am a Mexican food snob as I grew up in San Diego and it's a whole burrito culture. If you know you know. This place is okay. Good rice. Right around Albuquerque, New Mexico you hit the Tex-Mex wall and people start doing weird stuff with white cheeses. The queso modified cheese food product flows freely. Disappointed that the veggies in my veggie burrito were frozen from a bag and the beans had that Smokey meat taste which is also a Tex-Mex wonder. Ugh, ya'll eat bbq too much. So, it is my fault that I ordered a random thing in a rural part of Arkansas. But honestly, where is the salsa at? Maybe it's time to keep your cheese drizzle and try a little fresh salsa drizzle. You might like it. Luckily we travel with salsa on us. Cause we're flippin weirdos okay, and again, it's burrito culture. The other thing I will say, is maybe there was some kind of plumbing issue but the whole restaurant smelled like urine. Like a dirty bathroom floor. And I know that's not how tex mex cheese is supposed to smell... so.. do with that what you will.

Maybe I'm just a Chicago-burbs girl expecting the worst, but I was shocked at how satisfying Papa's…read morewas! I'd never been, even having visited Mena for years and years. This will absolutely be on my routine-o-restaurants in the future. I visited with three other adults and three kids. We had two servers that checked in often and even if something was forgotten, they happily would return with whatever we needed. They were patient with our loud table and the service was fast. I couldn't even understand the prices. It was something like $1.50 for a side of guacamole...say what?! It was a small side but in Chicago I'd pay $4 for it. I ordered the chimichangas, which included TWO chimichangas, and a plate overflowing with beans & rice. I loved that the chimi's were mini, instead of one huge one. Much easier for bringing home (which one of us did). Other orders included chicken enchiladas, quesadillas and steak fajitas. Everything received good reviews on the food quality. When I return to Mena, I'll absolutely be visiting Papa's again!

A colleague and I were passing through and both really really loving Mexican cuisine decided on…read morePapa's. SHOULD HAVE WENT TO TACO BELL!!!!! The salsa was delivered in the tiniest condiments containers- ok, strange but ok. Chips were not stale- so ok. The salsa was red- thats as far as I go with calling this salsa. A can of Rotel would have been way better. Young kids would have liked this, I guess, very insipid. We each ordered Fajita Chicken Chimichangas, rice and beans came on the platter as well. The chicken had zero seasoning- couldn't see or taste any salt, pepper, or any seasoning mix at all, it was just boiled chicken. It even had the just boiled chicken taste- IYKYK. The chimichangas were not fried in the least- they were just rolled up tortillas, boiled chicken with no seasoning mix, no onions, no peppers, no flavor. We ordered queso on too not red sauce- thank goodness- it was the only flavor for the entire meal. The beans could have been great had they been maybe black beans- La Costena brand is a thousand times better than the bland plain canned refried beans we received. The rice was the same. We looked for corn, red seasoning flakes- none! We both said immediately- THERE ARE NO MEXICANS IN THIS KITCHEN! Wow! Can not believe this place is in business. But given the small area, lack of dining- ok. The exterior and interior were nice. The , also insipid, waitresses were sweeping, folding napkins and waitress duties. Our waitress was Virginia, friendliest one we encountered. She brought me 1 drink, wish I had known to conserve it because she never offered us more. The other wait staff looked as we smiled, but non smiled or spoke back to either of us. The young man taking our $25 was very indifferent as well. All in all- we left the restaurant and area very shocked. Most Mexican restaurants in Arkansas being sisters to Texas- are very good. We honestly have never in our lives had such poor Mexican food.
