You would think by my last three posts I've only been eating at Mexican food restaurants…read more Well, that's not the case. It's just I happen to run into three really amazing diamonds in the rough lately! El Perrion is no exception. If you're in Melbourne Arkansas for some God knows what reason please stop in. Again, as traditional, great Mexican they walked over immediately with complementary chips and salsa that were clearly homemade. The chips were still warm and the salsa was fresh, slightly spicy, and a delicate texture. I really liked this salsa. I asked for something spicier and they brought me their house salsa, which was fire! All I had was two tacos and an iced tea and it was eight dollars! This place was packed on a Saturday at 12:30... Guess what? They don't even serve Cerveza or tequila. It's a no alcohol establishment. Do you realize how good a Mexican restaurant has to be that doesn't serve beer or have a bar? That means it's all about the food and people were lined up! I might have to drive back here just for the taco of it! Really good friendly staff great music, perfectly timed in the background. Solid pic no question!

Holy Schneikies!!!! They were not pulling my leg in the previous reviews!…read more I don't know what the heck is wrong with me, but I've lived in the area for about a year and a half and thankfully checked Yelp today, Easter Sunday, to see what casual restaurants were open. This looked interesting, and I followed the reviews over the bridge to the road much less traveled. It is literally a little food trailer with an adjacent building and an awning with outdoor seating just sitting on the side of the road, pumping out excellent food and service. There was a decent little line when I arrived, but the staff is very friendly and apologized for a couple of items being completely blown out. That's what I get for showing up for lunch at 1 o'clock. I ordered the lingua burrito minus beans but add a little cheese and took the mild hot sauce on the side since I'm an old white lady and can't handle the super spicy stuff now. About 10 minutes later, they called my number and I sat down to open a to go box that contained a beautifully toasted burrito about the size of my head. The first bite knocked my socks off! And that's saying quite a bit because the first bite usually has nothing but tortilla and tomatoes and rice in it. From top to bottom this thing was jampacked with delicious tender lingua, but it was the fresh greens, delicious Mexican rice, the super yummy salsa and grilled onions plus whatever else they've blessed me with. Let's just put it this way: It was SO good, I left a $10 tip. The only cons I could find were a lack of napkins set out for self service or in my bag, and some ice for the sodas would be nice, but I don't even care. I moved here from California and have had a real hard time finding authentic Mexican cuisine. The only way you could make Valdiva Brothers any better as if they also did El Pastor and added the ice and napkins. It'll be on regular rotation now, I almost ate the whole thing. It was so delicious.

I use to eat at this place about 4 years ago but I stopped going because I placed an order and…read morewatched the man grab the meat from a cooler with his bear hands and throw it on the grill needless to say I was disappointed and disgusted, but a friend of mine said that he had got a new cook and she was really good so I decided to give it another shot. I pulled up and went to order and I was greeted by a lady with red hair and covered in tattoos she smiled at me and asked me how I was and If I would like to place and order. I told her it had been a while since I had been there and asked her what she recommended and she promptly said ohhh definitely a chicken and steak quesadilla or some birria nachos. I said oh I didn't seen the birria nachos on the menu so it must be new so I told her I'll take one of each. She said it would be about 15 mins and I was welcome to have a seat and wait I made sure to see if she was going to put gloves on and yes!! She did. About 5 mins later some guy came in yelling at her that she needed to hurry and make 2 orders he had just got she told him she was working on my order she would get to it as soon as she was done he looked at me and said (what did you get man) and I had grabbed a soda from the cooler and he said you already pay for your order man if not I need you to pay now and for you drink. She said yes he had already paid for everything already she finished my order and gave me an extra salsa I tipped her 5 dollars before I left and he stuck it in his pocket I said oh that was a tip for the cook and he said yeah ok ty have a good day. The food was impeccable I dont know what she does to it but I was so full I couldn't eat another bite I will definitely go back if she is cooking but he needs to learn manners

Maybe the food was not good due to time of day? We were there for a very late lunch around 3 pm on a Thursday. Two of our group ordered taco salads. The hamburger meat was not seasoned at all. It was literally just ground hamburger that didn't even have salt to season it. How hard is it to put some taco seasoning on ground hamburger? When the waitress brought it to the table she told us they were out of sour cream. Someone should have run over to Brookshire's grocery and got some. That grocery store is less than a mile down the road. The taco salads were returned and not charged. The Chicken Pomodoro tasted funny. It seemed like the chicken was old or something. The eggplant Cremora's Alfredo sauce didn't have much flavor but it was edible. Luckily no one got sick.
