The food is acceptable, but the woman who runs the place, one of the owners, has the worst tableside manner of anyone I have ever experienced in a restaurant. Often borders on rude. read more

We just ate there and I got a great for me meal with chicken, broccoli, califlower and wonderful non sweet tea. I had previously asked if they have cabrito but the waitress did not know what I was talking about this time. I used to eat fabulous cabrito down on the river walk in San Antonio and sure wish I could get it again. At least this time they didn't put lima beans in their Spanish rice like the rest of the Mexican restaurants do in Harrison, AR. I loathe lima beans and have never had them in Mexican food previously. read more

Rude service,they do not serve stuff that is very clearly on their menu and you have to ask to get a menu a fast food place would be better than this food take for ever 5 people in the restaurant and it takes over 40 minutes and it still isn't here read more

The first warning sign was no one was there at 12:00 during the week. By far, the dirtiest Mexican place I have ever eaten. The carpet needed replaced 10 years ago. Bathroom was disgusting and flooring was coming up. How do you screw up salsa?? If you like ketchup/tomato sauce with chips, then you will love this. Service was the only good thing but do not waste your money! read more

Good thick salsa with fresh hot chips. Salsa had great flavor. On Mondays they have a $1 enchilada special. Beef or chicken enchiladas for a dollar each. I ordered enchiladas and was impressed with how quick they came out - less than 5 minutes. They came with a little cheese and a lot of enchiladas sauce. Very good. read more

I really enjoyed my mean. Food was fast, hot and tasty. Not overpriced. The decor is so fun , bright and vibrant. I would go back again. they have lunch specials. I didn't care for the salsa, but the pico degallo and guacomola on food was great. read more

Disgusting place, dust everywhere as if no one dusts the restaurant mold on the bathrooms and toilet was not clean, food was really salty and didn't taste right. I do mot recommend this place to anyone I recommend this place be closed down until they can clean it properly read more

The salsa tastes like ketchup. I guess they add a bunch of sugar to the batch I'm not sure. Plus they have no alternative salsa read more

La Granja Mexican Restaurant - "Ketchup" salsa - Mexican Near Me - Harrison, Arkansas

Stopped in for a quick lunch when passing through and that's exactly what we got. The food was very plain looking, but was surprisingly packed with flavor (It looked home made but tasted fancy : ). Service was quiet and unfussy, and we had a inexpensive lunch that we very much enjoyed. I'd stop here again before spending the same amount or more on a ho-hum McBurger, for sure. This place is a value; the food is tasty and wholesome and made from fresh ingredients (like the fresh spinach in my enchilada). Excellent chips too: warm, light and crisp. I agree w/ the another reviewer that the salsa was not to my taste, but it is actually traditional Mexican. Most Americans, including myself, prefer a robust chunky, oniony, cilantro-flecked blend, instead of tomato sauce w/ just garlic and mild chilis pureed into it. Ask for some hot salsa then blend them together; that perked it up considerably, and was quite good. Be warned that while eating here, you will experience enchiladas with no cheese, and other recipes that are traditionally Mexican and haven't been adapted by Americans into something that is no longer authentic. So if you don't like traditional Mexican (which is rather plain fare) or trying something different, just pass it by. I've eaten different styles of Mexican in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Mexico itself, and there are a lot of different styles of Mexican cooking. This is good home cooking and just plain good food. read more

one of the WORST restaurants I have ever been to. the workers acted upset that I was even coming in to dine. I have never experienced service this humiliating. Pretty sure they were talking about me in the back in Spanish. The food came out looking like it started in a block of ice and was left out in the sun to melt and get soggy all day before being served on a hot plate. No seasoning on any of it. The meat looked like a grey matter that was about to get up and walk out on its own. Don't come here unless you want instant food poisoning. This is a warning from a authentic Mexican food connoisseur. read more

I was always under the impression that Mexican food was Mexican food. Some of it being a little better and others just a little worse but this place set a new standard on awful. Who serves room temp salsa with no cilantro? I figured maybe this was a mistake so I asked and they brought me a new one with a bottle of it to pour more and the entire bottle was warm, this ruined the chips and sales experience which lets face it, this is half of the reason why we even go out to eat Mexican food anyway. The rule of thumb that I have always went by is that if the salsa is bad the food will not be so great either but the food was terrible, it tasted old like tree bark and just a big plate of slop. Please don't waste your money. There is a reason why when you go in there is no one else there. It is not because it's slow, it's because everyone is at Nops or Salsa, preferably Nops. read more

Just ate here and was very pleasantly surprised. The food is the best I have ever eaten at a Mexican restaurant. Perfectly seasoned. White cheese sauce was to die for. Highly recommend it. read more

Great Service! I came here to visit from California. Not too many good Mexican restaurants here. This is a very good delicious place to eat. I ordered the fajitas Haiwainas very good!! read more

Most Mexican restaurants are permutations of the same basic template. La Granja has managed to overcome the stereotypical mediocre goodness of your average mid-south Mexican restaurant by lowering standards and generally being a disappointment. Our first impression was poor as the salsa tasted like a can of tomato sauce mixed with a packet of Itailan-ish spices (flavors of garlic and oregano? primarily). Our entrees, the nachos fajitas and tacos de carne asada were fine but the steak had copious gristle leading to multiple subtle deposits of chewed foulness into a private napkin. Service was fine but our waitress was robotic like she's never seen a rainbow or loved another human. The only thing redeeming about our experience was that the tomatillo sauce for the carne asada was very spicy unlike the typical blandness that characterizes most Americanized Mexican cuisine. Will not be returning to The Granja. read more

This place is horrible. We had lunch and the tamale tasted like it was from a can. The salsa tasted like pure tomato sauce with some spices. Not authentic Mexican food like the sign states. Will never come back. read more
