It occupies a space that's been inhabited by a Cajun restaurant and then a wing place. When you walk it, it's not much to speak of. The huge wall mural from the Cajun restaurant is still on the wall. There's seating for about 20 or so people. So if you're looking for a restaurant with character, this is it :) The salsa verde phenomenal, tacos dorados fantastic, the chicken quesadillas yummy. Basically, I haven't had anything there I wouldn't order over and over again! The chicken in the quesadillas was so tasty, and had a little kick. The steak in the tacos dorados tender and flavorful.

After about 5 minutes I placed our orders. I had a simple bean tostada. I ordered a lunch special for my husband: I asked for the lunch special with the chile relleno, chicken taco, beans, and guacamole salad. The waiter asked, "do you want rice?" I said, "do you get rice with that lunch special? He replied, "no." I said, "then, no, just what comes with the special." My dish was perfect. However, my husband received a plate with the relleno, BEEF taco, rice, and beans---no guacamole salad. I asked if rice was supposed to come with the order. The waiter replied, "yes." My husband mentioned that he ordered a chicken taco, but it didn't seem to register on the waiter. When the bill arrived my husbands plate was 11.00, instead of the lunch special---6.50. I pointed out to the waiter that I ordered the lunch special. He took it over to another worker who mulled it over go a bit, then came to the table, gave me the same bill and said next time order by number. Ok, I'm not gonna make a scene, BUT, THE ERROR WAS NOT MINE. If employees cannot understand English, ok, but let me know. I will order by number, and use my limited Spanish. I paid for the waiters mistake, and I don't like it. Won't be back for awhile.

Parking was easy and while the restaurant was busy I was seated immediately. Chips and salsa came almost as quickly. My sweet tea was very tasty and the chips were fresh. The salsa was more my taste of without a kick to it. There were bottles of hot sauce on the table if needed. I didn't needed. I ordered the taco salad. A rather pedestrian item, but I wasn't hungry, per se. The shell was crisp and freshly cooked. The chicken was plentiful and the other parts of the salad were fresh and delicious. I will return when I'm back in town or maybe one more time this week. A gem of a place.

We enjoyed several beers and a few margaritas, both frozen and on the rocks. My frozen margaritas were perfectly blended and tasted so fresh. The chips and salsa were a definite favorite. The chips were light, crispy, and served hot, while the salsa had that delicious, authentic Mexican restaurant flavor. We ordered two California burritos, taquitos, a kids' burrito, and the chicken fajita lunch special. Everything was fresh and delicious, and the service was friendly and professional. We're saving this spot as one of our new favorites for our next visit. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food in Heber Springs, this restaurant is a must-try!

I really enjoyed the pico de gallo and appreciated being ask the level of spice. Spivey is spicy. Street tacos were pretty good, Spanish rise was great. Chorizo on melted cheese skillet (fundido) was fantastic. All 5 of us really enjoyed the dinners. Finish of the dinner with a real Mexican treat, frozen fruit bar. This is a kind of place I think everyone should try and enjoy but some people wouldn't go back to because it is a bit run down and unfortunately has a few pesky flies. Regardless, the food s great and I will be back.
