    Street Tacos
    David T.

    Today is National Taco Day!!! Being from raising a family in El Paso I know REAL MEXICAN FOOD!!! No TexMex for me! Here in NW Arkansas I am Blessed with a Hispanic Community that is not only Awesome but has some Incredible Mexican Restaurants in my area! The Go to place for me is always a local "Taqueria" and there are many! One of my favorite is "Taqueria Real Jacona"! Two locations, 28th Street in Bentonville and 8th Street in Rogers! OMG amazing!!! Street Tacos

    We had the Chivo con Consumé. It was good. Everything was served warm and the service was terrific.

    Still loving this place. Nice people, solid food. Popped in recently and they were handing restrictions well. Need to come back to try Birria de chivo that they have added to the menu. Can't wait.

    Another taqueria for the books! Taqueria Real Jacona is located in Rogers- it seems like they have another location in Bentonville as well. We came in for lunch and the place was empty. We were greeted and given chips and salsa. I thought the salsa looked a little too runny, but it was tasty and had a nice kick to it. I tried the al pastor and carnitas tacos ($1.75 each). These were probably the cheapest tacos I've had in the area. The meat was not impressive. I thought it was dry and maybe a little burnt. I liked that they came with caramelized onions, radishes and a jalapeño, which I thought was pretty unique to most of the taquerias in the area. They had a red and a green hot sauce. The red one looked super spicy- I didn't try it but the green had a nice kick and was tasty. They also had a variety of packaged hot sauce. I loved all the options! My friends got quesadillas, burritos, and gorditas. Everyone seemed really happy with their choices. The gorditas were massive- you might only need 1 for lunch and they're CHEAP- they could use a little more meat though. Service was a little slow. I really wanted to give this place 4 stars, but the meat just didn't do it for me. Maybe it was an off day- I would have to give it another shot!

    Staff is friendly and welcoming. Interestingly, they were…read moreplaying Cuban jazz and salsa--pleasant, but I found myself wishing for something like Selena y Los Dinos or Emmanuel Cortes to better match the vibe. The agave spirits selection is underwhelming, though that may be influenced by visiting the day after "Gringo de Mayo." The chips are comparable to standard "restaurant-style" options you'd find at a grocery store. The quesadilla is a bit unusual--there's no integrated mix of cheese and protein. Instead, the components are kept separate, which explains why the menu describes it as "baked." I initially thought that was odd, but it makes more sense now. The ranchero beans are overly salted, with little depth beyond that. While there appear to be other seasonings, they don't come through. The rice is plain and unremarkable.

    We were in town for a meeting at the largest employer in NW Arkansas, I'm sure you can guess who…read morethat is. When we arrived at the hotel late, we wanted to grab a quick dinner and I had eaten at an Abuelo's in Orlando many times. Felt like that was a solid choice for us since we knew it was not a gamble. Rick was our server and he was helpful and friendly. He brought out their trio of salsas with hot tortilla chips that felt like they were made minutes before. Not sure if they are, but they did taste fantastic! I love their queso here, and they had a Diablo one that I hadn't had before but we decided to get the dip trio- queso, Diablo queso, and guacamole. What an epic decision! They came with more tortilla chips but also chicharrones which was sturdier and could hold up to the thicker Diablo queso and guacamole. I couldn't stop eating the salsa and dips. I chose to get a combination plate, with an enchilada, taco, and tamale. Rick mentioned they had a mashed potato side that was tasty- not expected for a Mexican restaurant but I decided to take the recommendation. Rick came through, honestly I could've eaten just the dips and potatoes and had been super happy about it. I overate, which was a problem but in a good way because I fell asleep immediately after we got back to the hotel. We were doing a crazy travel week where we were in 5 states, two countries for meetings, so not a lot of rest. It's part of a chain but this one was clean, friendly, with great execution on the food. Rick was clutch with more salsa and chips which in the end was my undoing but I didn't care. Visit here and make sure you try their dips, and the mashed potato side which may have been one of the best things I had all week. Dead serious! The next time I go I'm going to ask for no rice and beans and just get these crazy mashed potatoes. Thank you Rick and Abuelo's for reminding me that every now and then, going to eat at a chain spot is still a good thing.

The high ceilings and plenty of light along with comfortable seating helped create a welcoming atmosphere. Our waiter was attentive and personable. As for the food: we tried a carne asada burrito, avocado tacos, and al cilantro enchiladas which included freshly made rice and refried black beans and a fresh salad. Everything was delicious. All of the ingredients were fresh. The food was well seasoned and beautifully presented on the plate. We greatly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend this restaurant.

    TLDR - don't go!…read more First sign this wasn't going to be a great restaurant... how many words do I need to look up to read the menu? One is too many and I'd say more like 5 here! Random words with no explanation- one word I never found a translation for. Here are examples you might want to look them up in advance LOL: Palatero: Cochinita Pibil: Campestre; Esquites Maybe you know these words. I did not. Maybe I could have asked but we were already being given attitude. The waitress started acting like we were a burden from the first interaction- a request for water with no ice (they bring ice water to the table on the first trip - I'm not sure how it's MY fault that I don't like ice - but the huff and rolled eyes were my clue to her annoyance). Confusion at ordering - one of my companions wanting clarification- even pointing to what they wanted and asking questions. The waitress was obviously already frustrated and instead of explaining and making sure everything was clear just walked away. Items came but didn't match what was ordered and the pushback included a huffy manager. Finally got what was ordered but.... Now to the food- cheese dip was ok but certainly not worthy of the price. Rice and beans were fine. But the Bland guacamole was an insult to the avocado. The chips are hard and too thick. Perhaps stale too? They do a dip sampler - emphasis on sampler as there might be 2 Tablespoons of each dip! The worst dish was the tortilla soup. Pros - lots of chicken. Cons - very bland! A little too much heat but no flavor, no seasoning. Most tortilla soups have some freshness - cilantro, maybe some pico de gallo or at least some diced tomato. Nope, chicken, cheese, chips and some crema drizzled over the top. Soooooo - staff that acted like they were doing us a favor. Food that was just better than edible, The highlight? The decor is nice. Ok - NW Arkansas does not have a lot of great Mexican places. Or Tex Mex. But this place is permanently off my list! Too pricey, bad food and rude staff!
