What a shame between the pictures and what people said I was looking forward to sitting and enjoying a meal. Worried that we only saw one car in front and semi's in the back. We parked our rv in the semi's parking area and walked to the restaurant. The one car that was there was gone and another car pulled up. On the front door was a sign "to go only". We thought that was the door for to go orders. Unfortunately that is the door to the restaurant and the restaurant IS "TO GO ONLY". We grabbed menus and ordered. The place is busy. And as the pictures show it's a cute restaurant. Loved the chairs, wanted to take them home. Now the food Quesadilla with onion Quesadilla with steak Kids chicken fingers with fries Street tacos -chicken GREAT! All of the food was delicious!! Again it's sad that the restaurant is not accessible. read more

Just stop reading and go to this place. Some of the best Mexican we have had off the side of I-40 maybe ever. Flavorful & huge portions. We ordered off the lunch menu and it was like a dinner since plate. My husband had chicken fajitas and I had the nachos supreme, both excellent. The chips and salsa were great and to top it off the place was super clean, from the bathrooms to the dining room. All the staff friendly and attentive. The prices were great. We were driving a uhual with a car hauler and we had plenty of room to park as well. We would definitely go back read more

My family loves this place and we eat here about once a week. We tried other Mexican restaurants in the area and this one is the best! Everything I've tried has been really good. I like the chicken fajitas and the chimichanga. They are the best I have had in a long time! read more

Food is fantastic, service fast and friendly. So far I've had the enchilada plate, Taco salad, and crispy tacos. Everything was great. Not bland and not too spicy. Gringo perfect. Wash it down with a Mexican Coke and you'll be good. read more

El Amigo Feliz - Taco salad for lunch! $6.99 - Mexican Near Me - Hazen, Arkansas

Tamales were decent and the drinks were alright hard to mess up a margarita and beer but the rest of the food was horrible. For a Mexican place there was no flavor to the food. The queso with ground beef tastes like cat food. The "salsa" tasted like tomato sauce. Fresh jalapeños tasted like bell peppers. Service was good and prices were decent. Definitely not the best Mexican place I have e ever been to. I was excited but was disappointed. read more

Service wasn't as we expected. Did not feel a warm welcome,not 1 smile from staff. Waited too long for bill,then another long wait to pay as no one was at register. Food was bland,little to no flavor. I ordered a mexican dish only to receive tacos with ground beef,mozzarella cheese and lettuce. I told the staff,his answer was "they are american tacos". That is not what i ordered. He silently walked away. Not recommended. Asked for a to go bag,didn't get one. Had to carry out a foam plate. read more

The service was wonderful! The food was hot and delicious! I had Polo Loco and it was fresh and hot (spicy too)! The restaurant was authentic and had some wear and tear but very clean. The restaurant also goes by another name "Restaurante Mexicano" when you look it up on the web. read more

Very good, very fast. Low price and friendly staff. They have nice vegetarian options as well.

My tacos were cold. No flavor either. Wasn't 100% thrilled with my experience. Surprised cause they were very busy.

We weren't sure if we wanted to get off the highway to eat lunch. Glad we took the chance. This is authentic and delicious Mexican food. Really nice restaurant inside. We bought a torta, a burrito and a tamal. They could use more meat inside but what was inside was great. The chips were warm too. Great salsa and great horchata too. We would definitely come back here. Great service too. read more

We looked across the vast lot at Love's Truckstop and spotted a restaurant. Not familiar with Arkansas, I wondered on the food compared to southwestern establishments. Upon entering, seat yourself, your immediately recognized and served homemade chips and homemade salsa dip. Very mild but delicious greeting to a friendly placed. The place was engrossed in talking and festive music. The atmosphere set the tone of the entire place and anticipation of the food. Server was quickly to our table. If you're wondering, our server spoke perfect English. I'm mentioning this because some places we've experienced, had to literally point at pictures because of a language barrier. I ordered Pollo Loco which is rare to find on any menu. I'm sitting waiting my dish. Sipping unsweetened iced tea and nibbling my chips and sauce. Very relaxing and I must amuse myself by people watching. Be back soon. The dish has arrived and upon sampling, it was delicious. The food was as fresh as the Spring rain. Not everything was homemade but the stuff that wasn't had been skillfully infused into the dish. It is authentic but only desired would be more heat, as in spice. I could have requested if they had something hotter but I'm a happy customer. Overall, a wonderful experience and very friendly server whom I haven't been able to ask her name. But, I will. My server is Maria! read more

The food is delicious and the service is great. One of the best places for Mexican food that I've found.

You know it about to be some good Mexican food when there's a bunch of Mexicans dining here. This is just a random hole in the wall restaurant off I-40 in the middle of nowhere Arkansas. But MAN this was some good food. Lots of flavor in the chicken. Service was awesome. Waiter came back to check on me even after I got my check to see if I wanted some more sweet tea. The sweet tea is some GOOD southern sweet tea. read more

Looks sketch but I was actually impressed. The reason I'm giving them a 4 was because they they will put cheese & cheese sauce on the plates and wait them under the heat lamps until they are all ready to go out. We ordered the taco salad which was really good! Burrito supreme! Chimichanga (which was soggy because of the cheese on top to long). Ground beef is wonderful! The cheese nachos were just a cold mess. We just asked to have it taken off the check since we weren't eating it. Overall for the prices, and decent location right off I-40 it definitely a good lunch/dinner. Side note: Don't go to a Mexican food restaurant, order a burger, then leave a 2 star or below review because it's wasn't good. It's just common sense. read more

I never was one to trust restaurants near hotels. But I'm super glad I popped in here to eat with my bf. Super yummy food and big portions for the price ! The employees were super nice and fast. And the decorations are bright and colorful overall an awesome and good tasting place to go to! read more

El Amigo Feliz - They don't skimp on the avocado! - Mexican Near Me - Hazen, Arkansas

During leg 2 of a 2-day road trip from Rochester, NY to Austin, TX, my friend and I were looking for a Mexican place for lunch about an hour before reaching the Little Rock, AR area. We were driving a large Penske moving truck, and towing a trailer with a car, so didn't want to venture too far off the highway. I did a (foolish?) search for 'Moe's' and 'Chipotle' in the Waze app, but there was nothing within 100 miles of us. So when we saw a roadside billboard for a diner, we figured it might be our best bet and we got off the expressway and pulled in. Part of the building was boarded up, there were only semi trucks in the parking lot, no foot traffic in and out, and one lonely neon 'open' sign hanging next to a beat-up door. I immediately got a vibe that this was the kind of place out of one of those horror flicks where unsuspecting and road-weary travelers get kidnapped and put into someone's basement dungeon while loved ones back home are blackmailed for their release, so we did a U-turn and got back on the road. After driving maybe 10 more minutes, we saw another billboard sign for 'El Amigo' and decided we would try it even though it was 16 or 17 exits away. When we got to the exit and saw the place we did not have very high hopes. However, it was next to a hotel, had a full parking lot of cars and trucks, and the bright colors on the sign and building made it look a bit more cheery. We went in and were pleasantly surprised to see most of the dining room filled with diners like us, with nice looking plates of tacos and rice and beans on their tables. Yay! We were immediately attended to by a very pleasant waitress who brought us a coke and an unsweet tea, plus a basket of fresh-made chips and salsa, with the salsa in a cruet so you could have as much as you wanted, and individual bowls for us each to have our own salsa so we could double-dip to our hearts content. Double Yay! We each ordered their street tacos which are around $2 each, I got one chicken, one beef and one pork carnitas, and ordered avocado on each for $.99 extra for the order (not per taco). My friend got one beef and two chorizo, plus a side of rice and beans ($3 extra). The meat was seasoned perfectly, and the tacos were on grilled corn tortillas (which stood up well to the fillings of meat, chopped white onions and fresh cilantro) and were really, really good. We were super happy, totally sated, and left thinking this place was a total gem. Total bill for two, with tax and tip (2 drinks, 6 tacos, extra avo and side of rice and beans) was around $25. If you are in the area, I think it was exit 193 or 197 off Hwy 40 heading west to Little Rock - definitely hold out til you get here - it's worth it! And there's a hotel next door and gas station across the street too, so one stop for everything if you need it! read more

This place was a perfect stop off I40. We stopped in around 2:30 to grab some lunch and glad we did. We stopped based on other reviews and have no complaints. The service was so friendly and quick. For a random monday middle of the day afternoon, they had quite a few tables filled up. Always a good sign. Salsa tasted fresh and had good flavor. Both our meals were great portions and tasted great! We will definitely be returning if we are ever on I40 in that direction. The inside and restrooms were very clean! read more
