Love the food but the service is the absolute worst. The employees....every single one I've dealt with that was a manager... have zero customer service skills. The food is NOT cheap for drive thru Mexican food. At least you could provide good service. read more

Absolutely the most disgusting Mexican food I've ever purchased. Drove from Memphis to see what was supposed to be where the original cheese dip was invented. My sister and I purchased $60 worth of food just to try a bunch of stuff. We pulled up to a dumpster on the lot and threw all of it away. It was BAD!! read more

Came here just for the nostalgia, I used to eat here a lot in college. Definitely not the same! The food wasn't hot, the tacos were bland, honestly taco bell tacos probably have more flavor but the cheese dip (was lukewarm) and the fruit punch were really good! The outside could use a bit of work, the service was ok. read more

Terrible Service, Long Drive Thru Lines, Employees Don't answer the drive thru call box in a timely manner. Waited over 40 minutes for food from a drive thru! Never again! read more

They have sold the same food since the 1930's. I love it. I only wish they were open 24/7 with instant delivery the people saying bad food or crap probably work for taco bell LOL read more

I don't care who don't like this place or complains about it . I LOVE it . I haven't had anything except cheese dip, chips and punch from this location but it's the only one left and I will continue to drive from Jacksonville area to this place for my childhood memories . My grandma used to take me to the one on Prothro Junction in the 60's , 70's snd ,80's . As a you g adult I also visited the one on Camp Robinson . Through the years I have tried to make this dip using 20 different recipes and none of them come close to actually coming here to pick it up . This was the first thing on my mind when moving back here recently. And bet I got dip and punch every time I came to Arkansas. read more

Mexico Chiquito - Childhood comfort food . Delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

Drive thru, bitchy overworked employees and a lazy white boy (me)... that makes for a bad togo order, unless time to think it through is given. The food was way overpriced. Small portion of the sopapillas for way to much money. read more

Thank you Mexico Chiquito for bottling your punch. That stuff is nectar of the Gods! We visited our hometown recently and were able to bring back several large cheese dips and fruit punch to introduce to the family. What a precious taste of home! The world's first cheese dip and amazing Mexican punch! read more

A nostalgic favorite this place serves Tex Mex old style . Brown sauce chili and delicious ground beef tacos that can be bought by the 6 pack . Steak chimichanga is good . The cheese dip is the star yellow ,cumin and garlic infused with a seasoning that can't be copied . The stuff is addictive it is the original cheese dip of the cheese dip capital of the world( North little Rock) . The chips are house made and thin and compliment the dip so nicely . Prepare to wait in line at the drive through order window . The combi #3 is my fav 2 tacos, a cheese dip and drink .upgrade to the stand out fruit punch with pineapple and and fruity deliciousness for another 1.00 total cost around$17 . If you are traveling this is a must destination experience . If you are local don't forget you can by larger amounts for parties etc , Little Rock location is only one open now drive through only . Picnic tables outside $- read more

Order meals and 2 large punches with no ice. Gave them with ice (took them back during COVID-19 epidemic) then gave me 2 with no ice but not filled ... a 1/4 empty when addressed the matter, they say that they don't fill the cups if given without ice.. really??? this is truly horrible service. I've never had an establishment do something like this degrading I won't be coming back read more

Mexico Chiquito - Half filled drink if asked with no ice... pathetic - Mexican Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

I've gotten severe food poisoning from this location twice now. There won't be a third time.

You need to hire people who can hear and understand what it means when someone orders a meat only taco. Due to the fact that this place 1 hour round trip, I will never b disappointed by this place again and will never see the disappointed on my child's face again because this place hires people that don't want to be there. I could see it in their faces. 2/9/22 pm read more

Best cheese dip and salsa in town! Wished we could still walk into one and sit down instead of a drive through.

This used to be the go to place for Mexican in Little Rock back in the day. Now it's just a drive-through. I went the other night thinking it would taste like it did when they had restaurants. What a disappointment. Got a six pack of crispy tacos which was Soso. Their salsa it's not the same as it used to be. And their original cheese dip which used to be my favorite Just didn't taste the same read more

Love this place!!! The beef burrito has amazing flavor, the chicken burrito as well!! The tacos are great too!!! I got the chili cheese nachos, they didn't seem big enough, and the chips were a bit soggy from being smothered, but the taste was excellent!!!! Having tried all four of those items as a first timer to this business, I can't give it anything less than 5 stars!!! The drive through might take a while, but give them a break, good food takes a little extra time!!! read more

This place has fantastic food!! If a 5 minute interaction with staff completely ruins your experience than maybe you got more problems in your life than just that. The staff isn't super enthusiastic but my food is always correct and good. The chicken flautas are the best I've had in the country so far, I can't get enough. The cheese dip that comes with them is absolutely killer. Great guac and chips. Enchiladas weren't too bad either. Rice and beans good. And the chicken quesadilla was good too. Definitely worth a try read more

Yummy veggie tacos!!! Also their cheese dip is always delicious! Great option for a vegetarian read more

Very disappointed in the changes that have been made to the salsa, chips and cheese dip. We have been loyal customers since the 90's but this is not good anymore read more

I don't know how to "star" this. We were sitting at the window picking up our order and the two front girls had long hair in micro braids loose bouncing in and out of a Togo plate that was still being prepared. It would happen as the girls were busy doing their jobs... it wasn't intentional but still who wants hair in their food or their hair in food.... it's a no win either way.... the hair should be at least tied up in a loose scrunchie in the back to prevent this... I'm gonna vote no hair in food ... no hair in food read more

Horrible staff! I went through the drive through and the woman got my order wrong. Not by much, just not what I ordered. I corrected it at the window when I noticed and she started screaming to her boss that "she knew what I heard, he's a liar!" I said I didn't even care about paying for a $1.50 flauta they accidentally charged me for. No big deal, nothing to get upset about. She closed the window and started yelling to her boss about what a dumb white a**hole I was. I said "you know I can hear you through the window, right?" And she laughed at me and said "yeah I know." Management, you have a REAL issue with employees. I didn't even eat my food because I honestly can't trust that something wasn't done to it. read more

A mediocre Little Rock institution that has been around as long as I have -- for almost 50-years. But, cheap tacos make it the closest thing to a Tex-Mex (not Mexican) food truck without wheels. If you want Mexican, the taqueria truck in Colonial Wine and Spirit's parking lot is far superior. But, if you want cheap taco's and other quick gut bombs, here ya go. read more

This was the second time I've done the walk up window. A guy said you can do walk up, just not right now. The drive through never has more than one lane open and service is extremely slow. Once you get in line, you're stuck. Not sure why I keep trying this place. read more

Good food. Horrible employees. They mumble and have an attitude when you can't hear them. Y'all need some happier workers. People that are happy to have a job. Just my opinion read more

Don't listen to all these whiny reviews. Mexico Chiquito is a Little Rock classic! The cheese dip is probably the best in Arkansas. The fruit punch is amazing and I don't even drink fruit punch. The tacos are classic Tex Mex. I suggest getting a chicken chimichanga and dipping the whole thing in a large cheese dip for each bite :) read more

See all

I'd put ZERO stars if it allowed. My husband come home without any of his food he ordered so I called to ask if they could hold so he could come back and get it. The lady that answered the phone proceeded to hang up on me after I explained what happened. Called back and spoke to the manager who claimed no one hung up and I called the wrong number. Walked up to the window for my refund and even after showing my call log the manager continued to say i was mistaken. Anyways, save your money and go to a better restaurant with good customer service. Highly recommend El Palenque as they are fast and great customer service! read more

I love their food. Employees can be mouthy but as long as I get what I bought it is just okay. As far as employees go you get what you pay for. read more

Horrible Staff! refused to serve me because I pulled up to order (after 10 minute wait) too late because they "closed at 8:45: website says they close at 10! Guess manager decided she had enuff for the evening and I went home hungry. read more

The cheese dip is awsome has a bit of a chili base but not it's not hot. At lunch time you can get a great deal. I strongly urge you to try their punch which is pineapple based with other fruit juices. You get chips and salsa with every order. Trust me try this Tex-Mex... Seriously. read more

Absolute best cheese dip in the world!!! And the chicken fajitas are the best in town!! Their salsa and punch are top notch as well! Put 'em all together and you better bring a wheel barrow to roll out to the car!! Five stars just aren't enough!!! read more

This will probably be the last time I'm sure Mexico. Chiquita will be open when I visit little Rock again. OK every thing about this restaurant is going to hell. This use to be one of the most important spots of most of the trips for all of us. Use to be. The girl at the register with the mustache that was neatly shaped got angry because we ordered a drink. Several times we said hello and she could not stop scratching her head under the hoodie to take the order. Order then she tells us to drive to front. After 20 minutes the person the slow mentally acting lady brings out the food and its short. She said it was then she tried to convince me to take a drink and I already paid for one. It's time because NONE of them want to work ANYMORE. I sadly say CLOSE IT BECAUSE NO ONE THERE WANTS IT TO BE OPEN. read more

I wanted to try this restaurant to see how good the food is... The food is OK but the people that work here are extremely rude... The only thing they said after receiving the food was Yep... No smile, no hello how are you, no nothing... So this is my first and last time coming here... read more

They forgot my salad on a to go order... Got back to hotel and they won't answer the phone to let them know.. drive thru worker was also quick with me and rushed the order read more

The cheese dip at Mexico Chiquito is my favorite. Unfortunately the drive-through line is VERY long.

Sadly I have to agree with most of the recent reviews. I love this place but the service has gone to hell. The staff is rude when you place your order and they ignore you when you're at the service window. The food I've received lately has been as good as in the past but it's hard for me to justify spending my money here when I can go down the road to Tacos for Life or Taco Bueno which also have drive thrus. read more

This place is the bomb. Love the chicken fajita wrap with a fruit punch. I stop here on my way to the gym. All these haters doesn't keep the line from dying down. Still not as long as chick-fil-a and so much better =p read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. They are extremely unprofessional. They don't answer the phone when you call, they won't come to the window when they're STARING AT YOU FROM THE INSIDE because they are extremely lazy workers and don't want to do their jobs. It is ridiculous. They all need to be fired. read more

The staff are horrible and check your order in the drive thru. This being said know it for what it is, huge portions and cheap food. Great cheese dip and fresh chips w the best punch to drink. It's a gut bomb and when I'm in the mood for fast food a favorite. read more

I literally HATE this place. If there tacos weren't so damn good...thank God I can just go to the one on highway 10

The staff is rude, the salsa is bland tomato sauce, food was not good and the order had missing items. The cheese dip was the only thing worth eating. read more

Used to be that Mexico Chiquito was the place to eat in the late 70s and early 80s (out in Prothro Junction and in Jacksonville). Great chimis and the cheese dip and salsa were great. Anymore it is just ok. If you want mexican, there are much better choices. read more
