I'm so glad I stopped in for dinner! The restaurant is very laid back and relaxing and the Customers are not rushed through the meal. The salsa and chips are tasty and the guacamole is some of the best I have had. I had the #10 chicken enchiladas and beef taco with a side of guacamole. The enchiladas were great but I couldn't finish it all since it was alot of food. This was a great choice!! read more

Food was really good but, unfortunately, the service was not. We went on a Friday and they were severely understaffed. We waited over ten minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. We watched two table get up and leave because of this. My rating would have been higher if service was better because the food was solid. read more

We didn't have food, only the complimentary chips and salsa. Our drinks, frozen and on the rocks margaritas were really great. The person sitting next to us at the bar had a pretty delicious looking dish. I would've liked to have eaten there, since it seems to be one of the few Tex-Mex restaurants in that area. I am not fond of "authentic" Mexican food. read more

This is really decent TexMex in Arkansas! Not too over the top spicey. Really reasonable price, Friendly and helpful service. The kind of service that makes you feel appreciated and they WANT you to come back! We had a large party and they were pleased to make all kinds of changes. My taco salad was one of the best I've had in a LONG time! The parking lot fits a lot of all sizes of vehicles. It is easy to find as you come to it. The decor is very welcoming! read more

Late lunch with the fam Easter weekend. It wasn't busy at all since it was late so can't really say what typical lunch time service looks like. There is plenty of parking to support a larger crowd. We did receive good service and fresh, hot food. The shrimp fajitas were good but not great; they do give a good number of shrimp (8) but they're pretty small and tail on. The salsa was mild, which is what I prefer and the chips were thin but not very flavorful. Overall a decent meal but I've definitely had better. read more

The food was what you'd expect from a standard Tex-Mex spot--good, but nothing mind-blowing. The real reason to come here? The staff. Kayleigh absolutely stole the show. She was warm, fun, and made the whole experience memorable. Kayleigh = the rockstar of La Familia. read more

La Familia Tex-Mex - Bar area - Tex-Mex Near Me - Eureka Springs, Arkansas

After hiking around Eureka Springs most of the day, my wife decided a mid-afternoon nap was in order; I decided it was time for a beverage and snack. La Familia was the closest Mexican restaurant to the motel, and margarita's with chips and sauce are always the perfect answer for an afternoon treat. My $6 12oz. Watermelon Margarita was delicious and the complimentary chips were above average and the salsa was excellent with flavor and density. I added a large cup of queso and upgraded with added ground beef. Overall - a perfect little feast! My only complaint was being the only customer in the bar at 3:30pm and being completely ignored my the bartender. She was efficient but not in the least bit friendly, and us tourists love to talk to the locals. With a bit of small talk and attention that 15% tip would have easily been doubled, and 4 stars could have been a 5 star afternoon. . Just sayin! read more

We had the fajitas, and the deluxe cheese dip. I had a large lime frozen margarita. We thought the food, service and the margaritas all were good. I will eat here again when we come back to Eureka springs. They also had free parking. read more

We were a bit reluctant to try this restaurant based on past reviews, one of which compared the food taste to "death." Our experience could not have been more different. Granted we were there in a weekday for a late lunch but the food and service were excellent particularly at a time when the restaurant industry is struggling to find workers due to covid. I had the shrimp chimichanga. It was stuffed with cheese and large shrimp. If you ever had ChiChis shrimp chimichanga, this one is close if not better. From the queso sauce to the rice side, every bite was great. I opted to substitute pico for beans. While a bit spicy, the pico was flavorful. My husband had the beef taco salad. It was larger than the average taco salad and filled with lettuce, tomato, and ample ground beef. Guacamole and sour cream were on the side. Our service was friendly and efficient. Chips and savory salsa arrived quickly which is a must for a good Mexican restaurant. Add cold beer and flavorful house margarita , it made for a great lunch experience. read more

La Familia Tex-Mex - Interior of shrimp chimichanga. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Eureka Springs, Arkansas

Good things: Chips and salsa, food taste. Bad things: Wrong order--ordered one taco no onions and one chile relleno but brought a taco with onions and green peppers and the chile relleno meal (double the price). Half drank a glass a water that had dirty hard cheese stuck to the inside of the glass. Service was bad--had to request check from another waitress as ours did a Facebook Live post outside. Other waitresses appeared to be disputing who got to work outside. Improper money handling--should have given dollars and cents back but said she didn't have the cents so she shorted the money back when she could have opened the register for change. read more

So finding a dinner spot for our group of 14 during COVID on Labor Day weekend was a challenge to say the least. WE fortunately lucked into this spot. They were busy, but very quickly got us seated and orders taken. The chips were fresh and crisp and their salsas very flavorful. They had a very full menu providing all sorts of Mexican and Tex-Mex favorites. I had a shrimp chimichanga. the shrimp were larger than expected and plentiful. This is a common issue when I order seafood in most Mexican places, but they provided plenty. I was truly surprised that all of our kids loved it too. The staff was friendly and very accommodating and made this a very pleasant meal for us. I would highly recommend them. read more

Very fresh and delish! We had street tacos and taco salad. The guacamole and salsa were wonderful and we also enjoyed queso. This is our 3rd time at LaFamilia and every time it has been so good! Highly recommend!!!! read more

This looked like a fun place to eat as the patio was good & inside looked like a good Mexican restaurant. Bad decision to eat there! We should've gone to Amigo's downtown. Had a Chile Relleno that was inedible because it wasn't deseeded or devained. Took 1 bite & couldn't eat it as it set my mouth on fire. I tore it apart & picked out a ton of seeds & showed the waitress, Kayleigh. She argued with me that it was just the way it is cooked & too bad if it's too hot. I asked her to remove the relleno from my check. She called over a Hispanic male to join her in arguing with me & embarrass me in front of the small crowd in the restaurant. He was even more insulting than her! These were some very rude wait staff & for that reason I would not recommend eating there. The food is quite substandard as well. The only reason for 2 stars is for the decent chips & salsa...lol. read more

If you are looking for some good Mexican food with good service go to Amigos in downtown Eureka Springs. This place has sub par food and the place could use a deep clean. read more

Good TexMex. Cheese enchiladas were very good with chili gravy. Queso was nice as well. Service was fairly good got our order which had some special requests with little kiddos. Decorated in the usual Mexican tradition. Good location away from downtown. Plenty of parking. read more

Terrible customer service, if you are Caucasian stay away, these were the rudest people, and their food was terrible! I can't believe this place gets good reviews. That was the worst experience I've ever had. Travelers beware. read more

La Familia wasn't bad, but for a tourist area, it was nothing to write home about. Fairly typical tex-mex, with the exception of the shrimp fajitas - they were the star of the show. The chicken was a bit over cooked. The guacamole was bland - in fact, it was the lack of spice that took it down a star. The salsa was above average, but the beef in the nachos had no flavor. Overall, we enjoyed the experience but it would have been better if the waitstaff were more attentive, or had at least offered us a pepper or two. read more

Food Poisoning! The absolute worst! Do Not Eat Here! I cannot say that enough. I not only had to ask the waitress 3 times to bring us our drinks (sprite and water) our mojito had moldy leaves in it. And I got food poisoning from the street tacos. This place needs to be shut down! Absolutely horrific experience. read more

Delicious, friendly and efficient. I was absolutely satisfied. Highly recommended. And easy parking a plus!

The chips and salsa were really good. The fajitas were ok. Our server tabbed us out before we were ready. We wanted more drinks and dessert but she didn't ask! The fried ice cream was amazing. read more

Very courteous and attentive staff, and the food came out hot and quick. The chips and salsa are good, and the chicken in my flautas was moist. Lacking a bit in spice, but the salsa and hot sauce served my purposes. Maybe ask for extra spicy if you like more flavor (I even put hot sauce on my beans and rice)! Very very casual, family friendly atmosphere. read more

La Familia Tex-Mex - Great start - Tex-Mex Near Me - Eureka Springs, Arkansas

We were excited to have Mexican food, and decided to order to go 30 minutes prior to close. The lady at the cash register seemed annoyed we were ordering. We felt like less of a nuisance when others entered to dine in, but still didn't feel particularly welcome. As a result, we opted to wait for our order on the patio with a drink. Our food was so bland. I ordered cheese enchiladas w/rice and beans. My SO ordered a burrito, but thinks maybe his order was messed up. It wasn't really a burrito and there were 2 instead of one. Either way, both were bland. The canned retired beans from the grocery store have more flavor than what's served here. I didn't eat the rice and neither of us bothered with the tacos that came with our meal. There wasn't anything really Tex or Mex about this food....maybe because we're Texans. Two stars for the patio and the salsa. The salsa is actually good. Id recommend this place for chips, salsa and drinks on the patio. read more

Service was excellent. Place is very clean. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food and it was reasonably priced. Only wish the tamales were bigger, but they were good! read more

This friendly Mexican restaurant welcomes everyone. The decor is that Mexican hat and corona beer ad type, but you'll be served quickly. Seating is available outdoors and indoors. The personal touch appears in a statue of a kneeling woman, hundreds of lunchboxes featuring kids tv shows and characters from way back, and several gum ball type vending machines by the door, which are increasingly rare. The menu is very full, and the cooks know their business, you will be satisfied. read more

We decided to give this place a try again. It had been years since we last went there. Our last experience was ok, it's just our regular go to place for Mexican, but this place has the best margaritas! We ordered the shrimp chimichangas for our meal. The food was excellent. Shrimp was perfectly cooked and had a great flavor. Also, had the nacho supremes and cheese sauce for appetizers. Nachos were awesome! I had the Shrimp Acapulco, which was really good. My only complaint is, it didn't have a good portion of beans and rice. Which is a rarity for a Mexican restaurant. Overall the food, drinks and atmosphere was a 4/5. read more

I almost didn't go eat for lunch - I was pleasantly surprised. I sat outside Saturday of Memorial weekend and was quickly waited on. I ordered chicken fajitas (that's I was craving) the order came out sizzling. This was one of the best fajitas I have ever had. The chicken was cooked to perfection along with the flavor. I am so glad I tried La Famillia. Just goes to show you one woman's floor is another woman's ceiling. Will go back! read more

Decent Tex Mex and good people. I ate here while in the area. The weather was dismally hot outside, but they kept it nice and cool inside and the beer was ice cold. Food was tex-mex, as advertised, and met my expectations. However, I'm a huge salsa fan - and the salsa could use some work. Service was better than average, and the establishment was nice and clean. read more

La Familia Tex-Mex - Chicken chili relleno and cheese enchilada - Tex-Mex Near Me - Eureka Springs, Arkansas

Let me start by saying that I absolutely hate giving anything less than a 3 star during a pandemic but I just cannot bring myself to go beyond that and still be honest in my review. There were so many issues with this dining experience. We waited 45 minutes for our food and did not have anyone come to assure us or anything. We got one....yes one refill the entire time were there and we had to find someone to ask. They only offer chips and salsa as a starter so we ordered queso and never received it. I had to ask the waiter to just take it off the ticket. We had a gentlemen waiting on us most of that time. He had our table and two others. There was another girl who had a couple more tables. I'm not sure how everyone else's service was but I saw her walk back and forth by our table ok facetime at least two times. Another time she walked by and was eating while walking. I also saw a little girl come out of a back closet.....I'm thinking this was a workers daughter and they didn't have a sitter?! The food finally came out and the portion sizes were small and the food was ok. I heard a customer ask if the tamales were homemade and they were told no. This would explain the very bland and cheap taste of the food. The only thing I can say good about this place is the alcoholic beverages were big and looked delicious. Our family will not return. read more

First time eating here, and I feel like we have been missing out! There are other tex-mex restaurants in town that are really great as well, but this place is much easier to get to if you are in a car, they have a free parking lot with plenty of space. Dining room and bar area is clean and humble. Service is very fast and friendly, I had a frozen margarita to start the meal (26 oz) and it lasted until the end of the meal and it was very good. Food is great, good salsa, good chips. read more
