    Found this bakery/ tortilla making shop driving around Rogers. Clean and well lit the pride of ownership is obvious. The bread was tasty and filling. I bought some 'cookies' and pan de huevo too. The corn tortillas and menudo were pretty good. Now the menudo was spicy hot. That was unexpected for sure. Well I didn't anticipate that at all. I was going to enjoy some white menudo with added condiments to my taste. So be aware that the dark red menudo is Spicy. Oh also I guess I forgot to ask if their to go containers included both nestamal and stomach. Only having meat and some onions and chiles were not what I had anticipated.

    The Carne Asada burrito was amazing! The horchata was the best I've ever had! We will definitely be back when we are in the area.

    Great tortillas, rice, and beans! Pan dulce was good too. Will go back every time we go to NWA.

    Bueno, Bonito y Barato. I just paid $3.83 for 2 tamales, chips salsa and 1 churro. Clean, fresh, yummy, authentic Mexican food. My husband and I go at least once a week for their menudo, tamales, carnitas, oh and the churros are just perfection. If you have not tried it, I don't know what you are waiting for.

    Cakes, sweet breads and pastries

    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.
