"Mom and pop" version of Taco Bell or Taco Bueno. Great food and friendly service. My favorite is the hard-shell tacos. The Chiquita Chilada is also very good. They also serve several platters for those with a bigger appetite. Fast Plenty of seating Child chairs available Clean restrooms Drive-thru window Closed on Sundays read more

See all

Chiquita's - Mexican Near Me - Mena, Arkansas

Nostalgic, old-school Tex-Mex. Friendly service. The best tacos. Excellent nachos and burritos. Very clean. Great place to eat or drive through. Oh, and their refried beans are the absolute best ever! read more

Chiquita's has the best fiesta salad! We love the family atmosphere and the great service.

Chiquita's reminds me of some of my favorite fast food Mexican restaurants, especially Taco Bueno. I don't think they are trying to be authentic to real Mexican cuisine. Rather, they are doing a great job of preparing good quality Quick Service Tex-Mex /Cal-Mex food like T-co B-ell used to serve decades ago, when all the food was prepared from scratch on-site. I grew up in Dallas--Fort Worth and ate food like this by the sackful with friends. I love having Chiquitas in town when I visit my place nearby, and end up making excuses to drive into town so I can pick up more of their great food. read more

Would not recommend the nachos. ordered nachos with meat and upon arriving home opened the box to a disappointing amount of cheese on them and had to add more cheese to even in joy the meal. More cheese or lower the price read more

Not real authentic Mexican Food! Food tasted alright only had ground beef and chicken, no other meats! ONLY SOFT AND CRUNCHY TACOS! No quesadillas, no rice, and barely any options for kids except nachos (ordered with NO JALAPEÑOS and was given them with jalapeños when was told 2-3 times) and fries. If i could change it to 0 stars I would!! read more

Chiquita's restaurant serves good, fresh food with good service. It is owned and operated by a local family owner. We've eaten here for years with no negatives. read more

The food was not authentic and the waitress did not bring our whole order out all at once while serving others before us and when we asked she gave an attitude. The best thing out of this whole restaurant was the fruit punch. read more

This place has been around since I was a teenager and the quality, taste, service and atmosphere has not changed much at all... and that's a good thing! They're not reinventing the wheel here but what they offer is perfect. The business model is perfect. Simple commercial style Mexican food that tastes great, with a pleasant experience, clean tables and courteous staff. It's consistently the only place I always eat at when I visit town. The owners are extremely nice people and that shows in the staff they choose to hire. A+ read more

Taco platter go crazy,love their salsa,fast and friendly service,feels like a home town taco place if you haven't lived in Mena for a while

If I could select zero stars I would. This place is awful, do not waste your time coming. The cashier that takes your order has a very poor attitude. The food is a joke!!! We will not be coming back to this place! read more

Chiquita's - Steak nachos - Mexican Near Me - Mena, Arkansas

This place is incredible! Tucked away in the corner of a large parking lot in a small town in Mena, AK, this place has incredible food at awesome prices. Cleanliness: Restaurant was clean and tidy. Cost: They could easily charge more for this food and still get the business! Their costs are more than appropriate for the amount of and quality of flavor of food. Taste: I don't usually like the retried beans when I go Mexican for dinner because it usually tastes like canned beans. These beans tasted Smokey and flavorful. I ate all my beans. Their tacos tasted awesome, their salsa in a dispenser was very smart so those of us who live to douse our food with good salsa/sauce AND reduce their overall waste of salsa if someone doesn't eat it all or eats just a little. If you are traveling through Mena Arkansas, my advice is to eat your lunch here or dinner and you won't be disappointed!!!! Super excited that I am visiting for a couple days. I cannot wait to go back and order the tacos again! read more

Manager/owner was rude to a new male employee and called him out for not charging me for a side of chicken and commented that "this wasn't Olive Garden-YOU CHARGE FOR A SIDE OF CHICKEN." He then showed the fellow the obscurely labeled button to push, never looking up to see that I was still standing there. A good manager uses situations such as this to teach an employee how to work the register, not humiliate him, but surely NOT IN FRONT OF THE CUSTOMER. Mr Owner, I told the young man I was paying for the chicken after you lambasted him for failing to charge me! read more

I would not call this authentic Mexican food. The most authentic part was the roach on the wall. No one even spoke Spanish there.

This is a walk up counter for ordering. The food is very basic combinations of taco related products. Lots of cheese on everything. No too authentic, just a standard taco. read more

I got deluxe nachos from drive through today and the worker Noah was extremely friendly. I was impressed with the customer service. Enough that I was willing to overlook the stale chips. Way to go Noah!! read more

My family has been coming here for years they have the best fast food burritos you will ever have !!!!

If you want fast food mexican; this is the place to visit. Much better then Taco Bell which takes way to long to get your food. Food is pretty fresh. I have always gone to Chiquita's instead of Taco Bell. Made the mistake of going to Taco Bell last night, ask me to pull forward behind the other 2 cars that had pulled a head. Only ordered to bean burritos. Stay with Chiquitas!! Food is really good and fast. read more

Next favorite after "Papa's". Someone else wrote "Mom and pop version of Taco Bell" and they're right- except you don't get the "Taco Bell Bathroom quality time". Foods great, the prices are reasonable- highly recommend them read more

I absolutely love their crunchy tacos with sour cream. They are so addicting. I have sampled all the food here, and it's great and my order is always correct and service is always friendly. read more

This is my favorite lunch/dinner place. I can't get enough of Chiquitas. The fiesta salad is a favorite. Chilada rocks. And the combination burritos have fed my family many a night. Plus, the family that owns Chiquitas is pretty cool. read more

I LoVe Chiquitas. Since we have moved away, it's always our 'go-to' when we are in town. Many trips back while I was pregnant for a Chiquita Platter. Best guacamole dip and the beans are fantastic. I wish I could re-create the chili sauce! read more

Taco Tuesday is my favorite day of the week. The tacos are great. I'm not a fan of salsa but the stuff they serve is addictive. They also have a fiesta salad that melts in your mouth. read more

Went there at 2PM on a Sunday, did not see any signs about operating hours. Walked in to a dark restaurant with nobody in sight.

Can't really find anything to complain about. They aren't fancy, atmosphere-wise, but the food is just good and tasty, and very CONSISTENT, unlike some others. The staff is nice and friendly. They seem to concentrate on having very tasty and somewhat limited menu. But the stuff I've tried has just been consistently really good. Really low prices, so don't expect huge portions. It's just that kind of a place. Kind of like a fast food type of menu but the food is WAY better than you expect. A five pack of tacos is like 6 bucks. And they are really good too, from the meat to the shell to the cheese. You can tell it's just authentic. Their salsa is fantastic. I recommend tacos, crispy or hard. They are both great. The chili cheese nachos are just really good. REALLY small, but what do you expect for three bucks? Like I said, their formula seems to be simple but authentic and fast. I think it works. Just don't expect that your five dollar plate of food is going to be huge. Order two things and pig out. read more
