    "Charro Beans" was actually a bowl of fat. There were literally maybe 6 beans in the entire bowl, and the rest was just chunks of fat.

    This was not a good experience. Ordered from them due to their high Yelp rating, but I received Mole sauce that tasted like BBQ sauce, dry bits of chicken in the enchiladas, and a literal bowl of fat, instead of a bowl of Charro style beans. Honest to God there were maybe 10 beans in the entire bowl, and the rest just thick chunks of fat. See photo (if you dare). Would not recommend.

    I've been to a LOT of Mexican restaurants and all of them have been pretty Americanized, but not this one. Truly the first time I've been able to have AUTHENTIC Mexican food. Service was great, ambience really screamed MEXICAN. I will definitely go here again when I'm in hot springs. It's literally a Mexican shop with a restaurant in the back.

    WOW, do NOT be discouraged about the location, appearance or that it's not directly on the strip on Hot Springs (Bathhouse Row). This is the most authentic, delicious Mexican food I've had, definitely one of my top favorite places I've eaten. Our waitress was new but she did a great job! First off let me tell you, their salsa is HANDS DOWN the best salsa I've ever had. It was a thicker tomato sauce texture with tomatoes and onions, a bit spicy but delicious. I got a whole tub to go. They also have a red and green salsa they bring in big bottles you can use on your food, the red one was a sweet spicy sauce and the green was avocado based. For dinner I had the Enchiladas with red sauce, the sauce was super sweet and delicious, my husband used the excess on his meal and he said it was the best enchilada sauce he'd ever had. It came with a little rice, I wish there was more because it was so good and some lettuce with some slices of avocado. My husband had the Tlayuda which is basically a crunchier type tortilla with carne asada and chorizo and cheesy. It was to die for good. It had a side of some veggies and it was so authentic. The kitchen is right there and you can see the two people who hand make your meal. There's a cute shop on the other side of the restaurant. Overall one of the best Mexican Food places I've ever been to and you should try if you're in the area!!

    The food was chef's kiss! With such an authentic Hispanic glow! I accidentally inhaled the first one... oops!

    We found this place as we were searching for Mexican restaurants on Yelp and we are so glad we did. The food was delicious, homemade tortillas and very generous guacamole serving. We went with fajitas and asked for mix, expecting the usual beef and chicken. We were pleasantly surprised when it came out to see some shrimp too! The only downside is be prepared for super spicy salsa. Great taste but SPICY

    Cafe 1217 - A Fresh Break from the Road Trip Diet…read more What a relief to stumble into Cafe 1217 after days of heading southwest on a steady rotation of BBQ, grits, and beans. Delicious, yes... but the body eventually starts asking for a vegetable and a reset. The space itself matches that feeling. Simply decorated, with bright murals, clean lines, and a cheerful, easygoing vibe that feels light the moment you walk in. My husband gave me full ordering authority, which is always a bold move. I went straight into tapas mode because everything on the menu looked too good to choose just one. We ended up with a spread: chicken pot pie (which quickly abandoned any "small plate" intentions), field greens and baby spinach, a shrimp and crawfish cake, and one of each of Rosy's authentic hand-rolled tamales. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without that heavy, road-trip food fatigue. The mint lemonade was refreshing and delicious, a little on the sweet side, but it worked. Service, while perfectly fine, could benefit from a warmer welcome and a bit more guidance, especially for first-timers trying to navigate such an inviting menu. A little extra friendliness up front would go a long way here. Our only real regret? Not saving room for dessert. They looked very tempting, and we'll be thinking about that missed opportunity. If you're on the road and craving something lighter without sacrificing flavor, this spot is a welcome pause.

Food was decent, delicious fries and the elote nuggets were to die for. The bacon on my BLT had a nice peppered flavor. We finished off the afternoon with a root beer float which was lovely!

The downsides: no bar to sit at; you're either at a table or outside in the (very nice) Biergarten area. Most significantly detrimental, though, is the young staff. Without a manager in sight, they just unenthusiastically wander around, are disinterested, look at their phones, and reluctantly help the patrons (after having to be asked).

It was lively on a Monday evening because a work event was being hosted. I ordered a Caesar salad and the chicken entree, which took a bit of time to come out due to the large group. This was fine with me. Once the food was ready, the salad and entree were brought out together. I would have preferred the salad first with the entree held in the back, but I was hungry so I didn't say anything and enjoyed the salad right away. The Caesar salad was simple and the Southern Chicken really hit the spot. It was comfort food at its finest and I found myself wishing I had a bit more. I highly recommend this entree.
