Food and service are top shelf. We shared a sampler with "mini" quesadillas and chimichangas. Plenty of food. Everything was delicious but I found my new favorite place for. chimichangas. Outstanding! Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely not real Mexican food. Horrible, can't believe people like this place. Obviously never had teal Mexican food. Would not give my dog this stuff. Wasted $60, couldn't even eat what ever they served us. read more

Quality food, generous portions, looks attractive on the plate. Superb friendly service. But it is Arkansas style, very mildly seasoned Mexican food. If jalapenos and chili powder aggravate your digestive process, El Trios is for you. For me a big beef filled relleno with queso, an equally loaded beef taco, and a side of good refried beans. Check the picture. It looks good, doesn't it? My wife had the taco salad. The salsas are mild, even the salsa picante. Not much help if you are looking for heat. Reemphasizing, the service is fantastic! read more

Muy muy excelente. I've been to Mexican restaurants all over the country and this one was hands down the best. I haven't had beans this good since my mom used to make them in my youth. (I dare to say these were better) Hand made flour AND corn tortillas. The green salsa flavor is top tear. I ordered the molcajete, and was EXTREMELY satisfied. From NWA. Will be coming down here just to eat in the not so distant future. The staff was SUPER attentive. Good sports on tv too. read more

El Trio - California Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Alma, Arkansas

We were in town for a comic con and heard great things about El Trio & it was even more exciting!! The food was delicious, staff very friendly and attentive plus the mariachi band was amazing!!! Definitely go it's soooooo fun!!! read more

Waiter was fabulous and the food was excellent. Well seasoned and brought to the table hot.

My cousins raved about this place and soon I was also a regular. I don't know how they could make you feel any more welcome; talk about service with a smile! The menu is large, with lots of variety, and I have yet to find anything that did not taste good. The wait staff usually gets the order right the first time, but if not, they'll be by to fix it very soon and make sure everything is to your liking. The interior is colorful and attractive, with several televisions to view with various sporting events featured. If you don't feel like going inside, they offer curbside pickup as well, which is great when you're under the weather or in a hurry. This is just a fantastic place to eat and a well-run business! read more

Great atmosphere largely due to the outstanding staff. The food is good. The price is fair. We go there pretty regularly.

Lunch at El Trio today. Did not disappoint. Food excellent as usual. Friendly helpful staff. Newly painted outside adds to festival feel of place. Highly recommend. Worth driving out of my city to get there. read more

El tro is honestly the best Mexican restaurant I've been to.The service is very good.the servers are really nice.food is amazing

WOW, traveling through found this little Mexican joint. Again wow. Everything is home-made, using fresh ingredients, even the myriad of sauces/salsas! The enchiladas were awesome, their camarones (shrimp) fresh and large and perfectly cooked! The Diablo sauce a little sweet for my taste but the heat, yeah buddy! I've travelled to rural central Mexico several times (decades ago) and these folks cook great authentic Mexican fare. read more

Food is amazing, if you like avocados try avocado taco. Best service around! Always busy and the atmosphere is great!

Very clean and well lit Mexican restaurant. Biggest and best burrito I have ever eaten. Chips and salsa were delicious and service was amazing. My daughter loved the environment and the food. read more

Really good food fresh and the business is a good community neighbor. Everyone is very friendly and helpful there read more

Stopped and ate here on my way home from my half marathon in Fayetteville. One word describes this little place. PHENOMENAL. I will just say that this is probably the BEST Mexican food I've ever had in my entire life. And, that's a lofty claim because I don't take my Mexican food lightly. But, you can hold me to my word because this place is chart-topping! Above friendly staff, exciting atmosphere, and AMAZING food. Thank you, El Trio, for fueling my journey. I will most DEFINITELY be returning in the near future (Apologies because I was too invested in the yummy food to remember to take a picture of it. But, just trust my judgement and visit this little gem.) read more

El Trio - Mexican Near Me - Alma, Arkansas

The best tamale my husband ever had. I got street tacos and they were delicious. We will definitely go back.

Definetly the best restaurant in Alma. Excellent, consistent customer service and the food's pretty good too. My favorite is the molcajete. It has alllll the meats. Chicken, asada, carnitas, chorizo, and shrimp along with fajita veggies and comes with flour tortillas. It's giant too! My husband and I get it to share (we are not tiny eaters either) and there's usually leftovers. Seriously good. read more

Great food, Awesome environment. Waiters are cheerful and easy to understand. They teach the kids some Spanish words while taking your order. Food is out super fast. Wonderful family sit down restaurant and has multiple TVs for sport fans. If you've never been there, get the Beef Enchiladas. read more

Very rare five stars from me. Very clean and updated inside. Our waiter was awesome! Encouraged the kids to speak Spanish... Very fun! I had the right chimichanga and it was delicious read more

Some of the best Mexican food I have ever had!!! The Chicken Chimichangas were heavenly!! I definitely recommend!!!

We stopped here on our way to go camping, and were not disappointed! The waiter was really nice, and very attentive to us. The food was great, my boyfriend and I both got a burrito, his was steak, mine was chicken, they were probably as big as our heads! I would highly recommend them to anyone. They also had some vegetarian options and worked pretty well with me on modifying my meal since I don't eat beef (mine was supposed to have it). I will also say that getting to it is a little weird. You have to into the Atwoods parking lot to get to the resturant, Google didn't quite get that, but that's Google's fault. All in all, a very good little Mexican place! read more

We stumbled on this place while on vacation last week. (based on Yelp reviews BTW) The atmosphere was great, the people and service were great and the food was beyond great. Sampler appetizer, huge burrito, seafood fajitas....all perfectly done. And the chips and salsa were good, which is my litmus test for a good TexMex joint. :-) Wish we had one near home! read more

This place has pretty good food that gas a real authentic taste. I am from Los Angeles, CA and there is a pretty high standard to meet when it comes to authentic Mexican food, but these guys did really well. I had the carnitas, my daughter had a quesadilla with beans and there were three other meals, and everyone truly enjoyed the food. The chips and salsa were bottomless, and tasty. Enjoy read more

The best Mexican place in Alma, AR! Always good, consistent service. Delicious food.

The food was okay here.. We ordered the dinner combinations & surprisingly, the portions were small. By default, they gave us ground beef for our meat. It was good but I just felt like I was eating taco bell on a plate. (I have high expectations with mexican food since I'm from California.) Service was great, the staff are friendly. The restaurant is clean and has interesting decor. read more

Since I am from Texas I don't generally partake of Mexican food in most states. This place has good food. It is inexpensive and the service could not be better. read more

As soon as we arrived we were warmly greeted by the staff and they quickly took our to go order. The restrooms were very clean and so was the table we were temporarily seated at. The food took about 15-20 minutes to get to our table, but it was well worth the wait. The staff was very kind and helpful, everything tasted delicious, and the portions were more than enough for my family and I. We will definitely make sure to stop by if we are in the area again. Will be recommending this place to many friends. read more
