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.

This place is a hidden gem! The birria tacos were packed with flavor, and the horchata was perfectly sweet and refreshing. Service was spot on and fast, friendly, and attentive. Easily one of the best Mexican spots in the area. Highly recommend! read more

Instead of chips and salsa I was served pillowy fried chip wheels and a glass jar of sliced jalapeños, onions, and carrots. They were fantastic together. I was blown away when my tacos arrived. Served with a grilled jalapeño, cucumbers, radishes, lime and a heaping helping of cilantro and grilled onions. Every bite of these tacos was nothing less than a flavor explosion. Moist, hot chorizo and carne asada, served on homemade, lightly fried tortillas, with perfectly seasoned vegetables. Usually tacos of this kind have meat, cilantro, and chopped onion but these were next level. I also saw giant glasses of cold beer and margaritas walk by to other tables. Needless to say this place is worth the trek to find. I will indeed be bringing friends out to try more items, although it will be tough to not order the tacos. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food in Arkansas, your journey is over. El Palenque is still fantastic but they are taking cooking to the next level at Eliella.

I came for the gorditas but we sampled the empanada and tamales too. Portions are large and we both liked the green and red salsas. Most of the food was under seasoned. The standouts were the steak and poblano gordita and the pollo verde tamale. They don't serve chips and salsa but when the food arrived we could see why. The gorditas have a lot of masa and the filling was on the smaller side. The pastry on the empanada was very good but again, a lot of pastry and smaller filling. It was very starchy so I really didn't miss the chips. I might try this spot again if I'm in the neighborhood.

The real winning point for me though is that it and chips are complimentary, but also the really winning kicker for me is that it comes out steaming hot. Hot salsa! Good start! I got a chicken burrito, and it also came out piping-hot. The cheese was perfectly melted, the chicken was hot, juicy, and tender and the burrito had been grilled for an ever-so-slight crisp (yum!) but came on a plate sliced in half (hmm...) with some shredded lettuce, atypically flavorful refried beans, and rice. Their special that day was an enormous plate of rice tacos, that I didn't try, but I got a close look at, and they looked (and smelled) really good. It's also super basic/rustic, and I caught a the latter half of a pretty great European League game between Napoli and Madrid. Granted, it was in Spanish with Spanish subtitles, but a game is a game :) On the downsides, it's in a rougher part of town, and it's in an ooooold strip mall. The parking lot works just fine, but the place itself isn't a hole-in-the-wall as much as it's a hole-in-the-*mall!* Yeah, I said it - and I'm not taking it back! Anyway, point being it's scary looking from the outside, with ten-foot talk steel bars on covered windows, but it's plenty comfortable inside. And the service is very prompt and really good, so that went a long way in making it a great experience!
