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.

Great service, food, and clean. If you are looking for authentic mexican food and not tex mex this…read moreis your spot!

We were greeted and seated immediately the place is bigger than I thought...they were busy given it was Father's Day. The menu is large but we ordered and literally everything we got from the salsa to our entrees were ON POINT! Everything was so flavorful and cooked to perfection! I feel like I would make the drive to mena just for this! If you're ever in the area give this place 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'.

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.

The staff was great at Telinga's. Top notch service!…read more They are pet friendly. Being used to many place having to eat on the patio, I started out on theirs. 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.

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.

If I could give ZERO stars I would. Absolutely awful experience. Took nearly 30 minutes for us to…read moreget our drink order. 1/2 of the order was a frozen margarita and it was mostly melted by the time I got it. This was after the fact that the person I was dining with had to walk up to the bar to ask for an update on our drinks and caught the person on their phone and our drinks already made... next came the fact that our food order got messed up. Took over 45 minutes between the time we sat down to receiving the food to get something in front of us. Part of the food was cold and the sour cream with the fajitas tasted like it was spoiled. That was honestly our final straw. I could hardly finish my drink, and with the food being AWFUL, we asked for the check. We walked up to the front trying to speak to the manager, mainly because the price of the food on our ticket was $5 more than what their menu showed. The manager aka the person who made our drinks in such a timely manner... said she would give us a discount. Due to the food quality. Which was a nice gesture. EXECPT FOR THE FACT THAT SHE DISCOUNTED THE UP CHARGED FOOD AND NOT THE PRICE THE MENU SHOWED. So either way we still over paid for an absolutely terrible experience. DO NOT RECOMMEND EATING HERE!!! Side note: white queso = hot milk. Had hardly and flavor and probably hardly any cheese. The salsa also tasted like store bought picante sauce.
