Street Tacos
Benjamin C.

Cafe Kahlo Came on a busy Saturday and was seated quickly with friendly, attentive service. Started with a bloody mary (Tito's vodka with spicy mix) and a tequila sunrise. Both drinks were balanced and refreshing. Got the asada burrito (10) with carne asada, black beans, rice, cheese, onion, tomatoes, and peppers. Burrito was decent but had a bit too much rice for me. The tacos: two carne asada, one al pastor, were the highlight. Simple, flavorful, like good street tacos should be. Loved the Frida Kahlo-inspired interior, bright and colorful with a personal touch from the family's CDMX roots!

Tinga Nachos

Service is excellent. The food is amazing. It tastes so fresh. I have had breakfast and dinner here. They offer lattes and special coffees. The omelette was absolutely delicious. The Tinga nachos were the best nachos I've ever had.

The atmosphere was relaxed and casual. This is a family owned business and all the employees were super friendly. We got here right at 8 AM on a Sunday when they open. It got busy pretty quick. I recommend getting here early. I got avocado toast, which is a thick toast with cheese on it plus avocado, cilantro, tomatoes, onions, and it's delicious. My hubby got the meat and cheese omelette with sausage and some potatoes and toast on the side. It was his birthday so they gave us a free slice of homemade cheesecake to go. The coffee is strong and good and the service is great. We highly recommend.

I got the chorizo burrito and coffee & it definitely hit the spot!! It's a relaxing chill vibe & the staff was amazing!! The older gentleman rocks as a waiter. He is very informative & also made sure our drinks were filled. This place was so good we went back for a second time.

This place is such a vibe. Beautiful inside and out. I didn't get pictures of food but the food was delicious. I got the carne asada omelette and would 100% recommend. The Jamaica with Fresa agua fresca was amazingly delicious. They have a good selection of kids food. The service was great. They have 1 family bathroom with changing table for baby. They don't have their own parking space but there's street parking all around the area.

Breakfast Croissant

Amazing food and service. Got sat immediately and everything came out piping hot. The potatoes were a little salty for me but my husband loved them. 10/10 will be going back.

Chilaquiles verde
Sammi M.

Glad we found Cafe Kahlo at the beginning of our trip. Cafe Kahlo is truly authentic food you'd find in Mexico City. Their offerings include items not specifically found in most Mexican restaurants. We ordered: - CHILAQUILES: Not your typical chilaquiles found in Mexican restaurants in American cities. Their combination/layers of tortilla, salsa, and queso fresco is perfectly balance. The side cecina (think carne asada) was very flavorful! - NOPAL HUARACHE: So light, but filling. A cooked palm of cactus topped with a combination of carne asada, black beans. We went back an hour later to order two more for dinner. (They close at 3pm when we visited.) - NOPAL & EGG SCRAMBLE: Nothing fancy. Pretty straight forward. But what got me excited was how delicious their potatoes were! And I'm not even a potato fan. The chef's husband Nector was helping as front of the house and waiter. Very personable and checked in on us several times. The atmosphere is very boho Mexican with loungey music playing in the background. We will come back here a couple of times before we return home.

Egg and nopales scramble with a side of chorizo, and chilaquiles. So delicious!
AJ Z.

So glad we popped in for a late breakfast. The chilaquiles were the highlight of our meal and I was so excited to see nopales on the menu. Would definitely recommend if you're craving authentic Mexican food.

The space is wonderfully decorated with quirky Kahlo-inspired paintings. The service was fast & friendly even during a potentially busy holiday. My partner enjoyed pancakes and I the chorizo Benny. I'd get the pancakes again in a heartbeat but the Benny had too many sauces that it became a soggy/mushy texture nightmare. Their drink menu was extensive and I could've stayed all day trying something new.

Chilaqules

We came here on a Sunday at 11:45 and it was open seating and no wait. We went to the patio since we had our dog. Our server was so kind and gave us recommendations on the menu. We got the champagne carafe (mimosas by the glass were only $3 fyi). I got the chilaquiles and it was phenomenal. Honestly a lot of food and could possibly be shared.

This is a great question place for breakfast with cool vibes. Our waitress was great- super friendly and has some great suggestions. We go the chilaquiles, al pastor tacos and huevos rancheros. The chilaquiles were amazing. The Al pastor tacos were decent. The star for sure was the huevos rancheros! The portions were large and perfect for sharing. This is a must for breakfast when in hot springs

Wife and I went here for Taco Tuesday at the recommendation of several friends. I'm glad we did…read more Nice, roomy place, full bar available, plenty of seating too. They brought the obligatory chips and salsa to start . The salsa was good! The chips? Not so much. Wife ordered shrimp tacos (with rice and refried beans). I ordered ground beef tacos (with rice and refried rice beans. Wife really liked her tacos. Two huge tacos stuffed and good sized shrimp tails on them. She said she'd order them again. I was "so-so" on my beef tacos. They were huge but there was something about them that has me debating if I would order them again. I might go with the chimichanga next time. To be honest, I'm a Texan and it's been a chore finding anything to compare with Tex-Mex . This has been one of two that might come close. So I'd encourage anyone to try this place. I will stress CAUTION though. 1) If you use the side entrance from the parking lot. Be VERY CAREFUL!! There a 2 step downs at the door to enter the place. If it's sunny outside, you will have to adjust your vision quickly to the darker inside and trip over can easily happen. 2) the restrooms are in B a very narrow hallway and the doors are heavy and spring loaded. If you are like me, with a disability, it may be a challenge navigating all that so be prepared. Having someone assist you might be a good call. Have a great day!!!

Taco Mama - The Tamale Tip That Paid Off…read more We were midway through an early dinner at Cafe 1217 when a local picking up takeout struck up a conversation and started passionately recommending Taco Mama next door. Specifically, the tamales. You could tell this wasn't casual advice, this was a mission. So, naturally, we listened. On our way out of town toward Texas, we grabbed half a dozen to-go, planning to turn them into a road trip breakfast with friends. Risky? Maybe. Worth it? Absolutely. Big hit. The masa was just right, great texture, good flavor, holding everything together without stealing the show. The sauces were outstanding, especially the red one, which brought a solid kick without overwhelming things. By the next morning, we looked like heroes. If you're in Hot Springs and craving Mexican food, this is your stop. Friendly service, a colorful, lively setting, and a patio if you want a little fresh air with your meal. And if a local tells you what to order... trust them.

Finally!!! My husband and I moved from Texas to Arkansas about a year ago. We have been searching…read morefor a little taste of Tex-Mex since we moved. Tex-Mex adjacent would do. We found Colorado Grill and feel like we are in heaven. I had the lunch combo with soup and fajita taco. I had the Aztec soup which takes chicken soup to a whole other level. The chicken was cooked perfectly, still tender, grilled, combined with slightly crispy perfect fajita veggies - sweet peppers,onions, zucchini! My hubby had the lunch combo with a taco, cheese & onion enchilada, and tamale. He wasn't thrilled with the tamale, but the ground beef in the taco was seasoned just right, and the cheese and onion enchilada was wonderful. Oh, and the salsa? A red chunky salsa with a slow-hitting heat at just the perfect level (about medium). Our server was Zelta, and she was delightful. The atmosphere mimics the name - Colorado Grill, and the food definitely Tex-Mex style. We will definitely be back!!

We enjoyed the Parmesan Salad with grilled shrimp as well as steak fajitas and an enchilada. All portions were very generous and food was tasty. Salsa and chips pre-meal was also very welcome.

Best tacos! They had a jalapeño popper taco this month and it might be the best taco I've ever had!…read moreGreat drinks and great food. Staff was great as well!

This saddens me. I…read moreLOVE Capos. It is my go-to place for a la cart tacos and house margaritas. I've been there dozens and dozens of times. Tonight was different and something has changed. 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.

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!
