We went here after a visit to the crystal mine. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was really good. Hope Arkansas does not have a lot of dining options. Would definitely go back again! Plus they have vegetarian beans and do not use lard! read more

Awesome!! Fajitas were great!! Fajitas for two would feed four. Guacamole was awesome so was the tortilla soup.

Great food, fresh steaks, but the best new thing? You can, with a membership, buy adult beverages. And let me tell you, they crash make the BEST Margarita you've Ever tasted! read more

Food is pretty much pre cooked and tasteless, the rice is dry, beans were bland and placed on top of everything. The mix drinks were definitely not worth $7 as it was all flat ginger ale and very little Jameson. It appears the owner works there, looking miserable and bossing the waiters and waitresses around. I've been here twice, and never again. read more

Passing through on the interstate, my father and I decided to try this restaurant based upon Yelp reviews. I should have been suspicious, as most of the positive reviews applaud alcohol sales, and do not mention the food. I should have been suspicious again when I walked in and noticed that not a single employee, at a Tex-Mex restaurant, was Hispanic. Ah, the name is Dos Loco Gringos, so there is no false advertising at least. But we decided to try it anyway. Big mistake. The food was about what you would expect from a couple of gringos trying to cook Mexican food without much love. Under-seasoned crap from a can, heated in a microwave. We both had a mixed enchilada plate. It didn't taste good, but we were hungry, so we ate it anyway. Bigger mistake. If I had written a review that evening, I would have given the place two stars. Bad food, but close to the highway and friendly staff. But the next day my father and I both came down with a bad case of salmonella food poisoning. Dos Loco Gringos was the ONLY place where we dined together, so the source is undeniable. Need I say more? You couldn't drag me back into that place, alive at least. read more

My go to place when I am in Hope , I come to the area for business.. Consistently good food and service

This place is open on Sunday, don't even bother driving into Hope. Everything there is closed and this place is the best! Went on Mother's Day as we were traveling back to Texas. Looked crowded but the inside is large and we were seated immediately. Staff was friendly and very attentive. Excellent chips and salsa. I had the baked potato stuffed with fajitas meat, grilled onions/peppers and smothered in queso. This is some if the best fajitas meat I have ever had. Moist, tender and it almost melted in your mouth. My boyfriend had the Sante Fe. He said is was very good. Comparable to Tex-Mex we can get back home. The sour cream sauce was also very good. (He is a chef, so that's a pretty big compliment.) My daughter had the smothered burrito. She said the seasoning on the meat was good. She also liked the white queso. So glad everything else was closed and we got to "discover" this place. read more

Not from around here but I was surprised it's good, the frozen marg is very tart not great but coronarita is better, helps the sweetness. I'd come back :) read more

They didn't serve guacamole with my fajita nachos. The waiter was slow. And there's absolutely no personality in that restaurant at all. Felt like a walk in to a funeral home. Not my idea of a Mexican restaurant that supposed to be all about a fiesta. Somebody needs to tell them they're in the hospitality business and greet people with a smile and a fun energetic attitude. There was none of that except when I asked for my check and I was about to pay the bill. read more

Had a great lunch here with my daughter. Hot chips and guacamole to start the meal, a little salsa and some quesadillas. Very nice lunch, just wished I could have ordered a margarita, but Hope is a no drinking in public town. Not legal to sell here. read more

We've just recently moved to Hope and have eaten here a few times. We ordered today, 3/15/15, and I am wondering if it is under new management. It's always been fairly good, but everything was twice as nice this time. It may just be new employees, but everything was done so nicely. Thank you for great service! read more

Very attentive service and fast! Food was good but it is hard to screw up Tex Mex. Prices are very reasonable and the only downside is that it gets very loud in the restaurant and it is hard to carry a conversation. read more

Okay, I use Yelp a lot, but have never written a review until now. I, too, am from Central Texas and put too much weight on that person's review. The one star I give this place is for the server - maybe they should let her do the cooking! The food tasted like it came out of cans from the nearby WalMart. Nothing we ordered was freshly prepared, not even the salsa. Access to the restaurant was a little confusing - if you turn at the Walmart, you can't get to the restaurant parking lot. Seriously, Taco Bell would have been a better choice. To the person from Central Texas, we must not be eating at the same Mexican restaurants in Central Texas. This place wouldn't stand a chance at home. read more

The food was good and fresh but the house Margaritas were gross. My husband got a frozen and even returned it for a on the rocks and it still was jinkey . Not sure why.. maybe the mixer they use. Also they don't have real butter, only 'spread' and the honey that came with it for my sopapilla was yucky. Food was good though and quick service. read more

This is first time try this place and order the fajitas and got full of potatoes there is no vegetables and when we ask for more veggies and have to pay extra for. We paid the price of chicken fajita for little vegetables fajita without any meat. Very bad experience. read more

Food was very Meh. Stopped in on our way back to TX. Service was ok. Most likely wouldn't stop in again.

Oasis in a dry county!! Reading previous reviews, we headed over to Dos Locos apprehensive that we were in a dry county. However, we were greeted by the vivacious Secorie who assured us this was not the case. We enjoyed cold beers along with a tasty salad and a good Mucho Grande Burrito. Fast and friendly service! A good choice close to area hotels. read more

The food was good. Everyone in my group ordered something different and we all enjoyed our meals. The prices were high for a small town with several Mexican restaurants. Not sure why there would be an up-charge for grilled peppers and onions when I ordered a meal with the word "fajita" in it. Our server was kind and attentive. The food took a while to come out, but I would recommend this place. Great location right off the interstate and they serve alcohol. read more

Definitely more gringo than authentic Mexican. Chicken fajita was okay but beef too chewy to eat.

Wonderful service and food! First time ever leaving a restaurant review in my life, this place deserves it.

Great place for Mexican food. The service was fast and friendly, the food was excellent, and the prices were reasonable. The tamales were some of the best I've had -- filled with huge chunks of tender pulled pork. read more

Took 25 minutes for someone to take our order. I counted 7 employees, including the manager, who noted we'd not been helped, but it was still another ten minutes before or waitress showed up to the table. Food took another 30 minutes to show up, and the place wasn't busy. Just painfully slow and not even an apology. Bad. read more

My mother, sister and I ate here on November 16th. The food was satisfactory for being microwaved food. The service was nice and the staff friendly. We would probably eat here again. read more

I've ate a lot of chicken fajitas in my life and I believe this is the best I've ever tasted. A must-stop when traveling through Hope, Arkansas. read more

Stopped here for the night and wanted something that would deliver. This was next door to the holiday inn. They were so nice on the phone, food was at my door in 15 mins. Again, very nice and this food was really good. I would definitely get their food again going thru Arkansas. read more

Very good food and service is excellent! The sour cream chicken enchiladas were very good !! read more

My family stopped in Hope on the last leg of a multiweek vacation. Dos Loco Gringos looked like a likely place, though based on the reviews we didn't expect much. We were very pleasantly surprised. Yes, it's not over done kitzch, just an authentic family restaurant that happens to serve Mexican food. The staff was attentive and helpful. My wife and I shared the fajitas for 2, and they brought an extra plate for my (picky eater) youngest to share as well, no charge. The fajita sides were tasty - the guacamole was fresh, and the pico seemed fresh cut as well. Serving size was generous: we even had leftovers for the next days lunch. My older son had the taco plate, and described them as "om nom" which is his way of saying excellent. According to him the Spanish grammar on the menu was deplorable, but what can you expect for Two Crazy White Guys? read more

You know...I really wonder about the average American. Are people so stupid that they think a place called, "Dos Locos Gringos", which translates to "Two Crazy White Boys" would have authentic Mexican food?!? No where on the sign, menu, bath room wall, etc., does the place claim to have authentic Mexican food!! There is however, a large Hispanic population in the city of Hope, AR., and therefore, MANY places to get real, authentic, Mexican food...if that is what you are looking for. BUT, if you are looking for VERY GOOD Tex/Mex food, a great atmosphere, friendly service and much food for your dollar...This is the place!! read more

We are from the Batesville, AR area and chose this restaurant to meet family from Texas at a halfway point, which happened to be Hope, AR. I'm usually leery of eating at new restaurants so I checked out the reviews before going and I wasn't disappointed. It was noisy as someone else pointed out, but the service was outstanding and the food from the lunch menu was delicious. I would definitely go back if I was passing through the area again. read more

Next to holiday inn express. Good food, great staff, great salsa. Reasonable prices.

DO NOT GO HERE. We were passing through town and in the mood for some Mexican food. This is THE stereotypical Mexican restaurant where people leave with food poisoning. We left flushed and sweating and had food poisoning within an hour. Our poor waitress was fantastic and she waited all the tables as other staff sat around. read more

If you are looking for authentic Mexican, steer clear of here. This is the definition of American Mexican food. I gave them 3 stars because the service was really good and the food wasn't awful...but it definitely wasn't as good as I was expecting (after reading the reviews). It is clean and the people are really nice, but this is definitely not authentic Mexican. read more

My husband and I thought the food was great, we actually were greeted and the service was good, we did however did not appreciate the waitress calling us sweetheart and baby. They should be trained alittle more professionally read more

This place was great. The service was amazing. April really took care of us. The food came out hot and fresh with good flavor. The restaurant is clean and has a good vibe. I would definitely come back. read more

Food was good but not as much flavor as Tex Mex around Houston. Good margarita. Good service.

I went to this restaurant because it is a dry county and I wanted a beer. I figured the food couldn't be that bad. I was wrong. Without a doubt the worst Mexican food that I have ever paid for. If you are looking for a cold beer in a dry county, then come here for a drink. Just don't eat or you will regret it - unbelievably awful food that doesn't resemble anything ever cooked in Mexico. read more

i stopped here on my way out of town so i stopped and got chicken nachos i literally only got four WTF! i don't recommend this place

This is the absolute worst place I have ever eaten I ordered a medium rare t-bone and it was all fat pretty much on top of that our waiter was the rudest waiter I've ever had it doesn't matter if a customer comes in an hour before you close or 10 minutes before you close you are supposed to treat them with the same smile and respect you do for all customers throughout the day I have worked in the food industry and honestly this place doesn't even deserve a single star, the sweet tea wasn't sweet and the salsa was terrible. Worst restaurant I've ever been to period read more

Ok so I'm from Texas so I already think Arkansas is weird, but this place is alright. Different but in a try something new good way different. I would eat here again if I lived in the area. Salsa is in house fresh so it really good. read more

Stopped for lunch, turned into dinner! Food was delicious and very filling! Service was awesome! Would definitely eat here again!
