    Hungry?!  Look no further!
    James T.

    Tried the 7 lb Burrito....it was fantastic! Only could eat half, but not because it wasn't tasty! Everyone in our party loved the street tacos and the giant bowls of cheese dip! But the real highlight of this place was the Ice cream. Especially the Ala mode funnel cakes! Wouldnt hesitate to stop here again. The staff was super friendly. The restaurant was clean and colorful, and everyone's food came out hot and savory!

    The good? The burritos are massive and have great flavor. The French fries were fresh and hot and crispy. The bad? The service. We had to get our own refills, and if we needed anything (like silverware!) we had to ask multiple times. The prices are steep, and even though service was HORRIBLE they required that we give a minimum of a 22% tip. The register wouldn't let us check out with any other option for a tip, and it was figured into our check. We only had 3 people in our party. The lamb in the gyro was tough and overcooked. The meh: They have an overwhelming selection of great looking handmade ice creams but the prices are crazy. The oreo ice cream is good but the strawberry cheesecake had a lot of ice crystals in it. Overall? There are better options out there.

    OMG this place. So so so good. We moved to AR from Los Angeles and have had plenty of churros, but these were amazing. I got churros and ice cream and it was one of the best desserts I've ever had. They make all of their ice cream (not 2 or 3 flavors, there's like 20) and the flavors are really different and fun. They have your standard chocolate and vanilla, but then they also have flavors like queso (tasted kind of like cheesecake to us) and cajeta (caramel made with goats milk). I would say this place is a hidden gem, but it's painted bright green, so not so hidden . Go eat here now!!

    Tacos are good and so is the ice cream! We usually get the emergency tacos and we've tried their chicken wings too- we will def be back!

    I traveled from Houston, Texas in search of the perfect Mangoniadas and this is the winner

    Pleasantly surprised! Stopped in after hiking @ Magazine Mtn and didn't know what to expect. Great street tacos and excellent ice cream.

The soft corn are some of the best we've ever had. The chipotle sauce was like a bbq sauce...very tasty. Carnitas had good flavor but could use a sauce, which they have options. The fried chicken tender on the southern taco lacked flavor. If you're a fan of fish tacos from Rubio's in California, these are meat identical flavor. The red snapper was fresh and flaky. And there's many more taco options. We had a training server but he was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu and options. And then there's the margaritas. Had the hibiscus 'rita. Priced very well and better than other restaurants in the area. We will definitely be back.

We got there at 5 and we basically the only table (4 people) in the main area. Ordered margaritas and guacamole, chips and salsa. None of those items arrived until 5:30. Ordered tacos and additional drinks which didn't arrive until after 6pm. When the food came it was incorrect and missing tacos for two of our guests around 6:45. When the bill came at 7 it was wrong in all kinds of ways. It took our waiter a very long time to correct and it was still wrong. At that point we decided to cut our losses and just pay it and depart. Something has changed. The food that came out was good. But the service and organization was the worst we've seen. Also. In visiting the restroom it appeared it hadn't been cleaned in months and months. The mold build up on the grout was terrible. (Photo included) I'm so hopeful things will change back and service, cleanliness and staffing will improve because this has always been my favorite place.

The Carne Asada was good but the steak was grainy and a bit overdone (what is with the ton of onions all over everything) but the plate was good overall! Mezcal was awesome as well. We come yearly to Hot Springs and this is our first stop for dinner each time. Very much worthwhile!

It's not puréed to oblivion, but is full of chunks of avocado. The food always comes out hot and in a pleasing display. We are impressed with the variety of taco offerings, but have also ordered sandwiches, nachos, chimichangas, and burritos. The portions are always large and we always take home leftovers. Lots of people don't like that they charge for chips and sals, but their location makes it tempting to grab a drink and free apps and then eat dinner somewhere else. They have to pay staff and cover food costs too. My recommendation is the margarita flight-tropical, peach, jalapeño, and watermelon. I'm also a huge fan of the Quesabirrias, but the beef barbacoa and Al pastor street tacos are also great. The Diablos Nachos will make a meal for two. It pleases ages 10-50 every time!
