    Chicken ranchera
    Zain K.

    So I've been in Bentonville for a couple of months, living out of a hotel (i.e., eating out all the time), and I will hands down say this one of my top three restaurants in town. It's not fancy by any stretch, and yes - service can be very slow (not sure what that's all about...), but the food is outstanding, and there many excellent options to choose from. My favorite item is the shrimp pupusa - a couple of these would make a filling meal for $4 (!), with plenty of shrimp. It's incredibly savory, and unlike the other pupuserias around town, the one served here isn't greasy at all. Other great items are the shrimp a la diabla, chicken ranchera, carne de rez, and all of the fried snapper plates. Thick, Salvadorean-style handmade tortillas come with most meals, and it's hard not to leave here stuffed. Reading the other reviews, it's apparent this would have a 5* overall rating if they could sort out their service issues (for what it's worth, I've , at least found them to be quite friendly), so here's hoping they're able to do that...

    Pupusas are delicious, we tried 4 different types. Fresh water "maracuya flavor" was good, first time trying Marañon fresh water-it was okay. I recommend this place.

    Shrimp In Garlic Sauce

    My Second Time Coming Here Today, Its Convenient Since It's Close To Work, There Food Is Really Good! The First Time I Came I Ordered Two Chicken Tacos To Go, The Tacos Were Great Came With All The Fixings Very Fresh And Filling, Today I Ordered The Shrimp In Garlic Sauce, Had Peppers And Onions And Came With Rice And Beans, They Were Very Generous With Their Portion Of Shrimp, The Young Girls That Work There Are Very Nice, Love This Place Awesome Food And Service!

    Food is tasty if you can wait for it. They take forever even when you call it in. Also, they don't have a toilet seat in the women's restrooms, I've tried this place twice in the last month and still no toilet seat C'MON!

    Las pupusas parecían hechas un día antes y muy gruesas de orilla. Terminé de comer y la mesera nunca llegó con mi bebida.

    I got there at one on a Wednesday and waited an hour for my food. I watched other people get their food. I never received mine.

She was nice, sweet, polite, she helped answer questions about the menu. She even asked us how we liked it, and our experience. And how she asked was like.. she really genuinely wanted to personally know how we enjoyed our experience. She likes her job and it shows. We received our pre-appetizer, appetizer lol. It's their (Salvadoran) version of a Tex-Mex chips and salsa. It was these little rectangle, fried pita chips, almost, and a small bowl of bean dip. It was good! I would have ate anything in front of me. For our appetizer, we ordered the chicken tamale. I've never had a Salvadoran tamale before and Omg! I LOVED IT!!! Oh my word! We ordered two, when we really could have just ordered one. They are huge. I have photos of everything we ordered and ate. It's still made with masa, but instead of thick and some what stiff, like a Mexican tamale, it's almost like the mass is soaked in something. And it's fluffy and basically falls apart when you open it up. And it's not held together with corn husks, they use banana leaves instead. OMG!!!! It took a min to get used to. The ONLY thing that I think they could improve on this, is cut the piece of chicken up so it's more distributed more through out. It was one piece of chicken, and on one side, so I ate 3/4 of it forgetting it even had chicken till I found the giant piece at the end. Other than that. OMG it was so good!!! And that's just the appetizer. Oh. And the chicken, when I did get to it... WELL WORTH THE WAIT... it was SO tender and juicy, I forgot I had already ate almost all of it before getting to it. Lol. I ordered 3 of the pupusas. MY FAV! I've had several of them all over town, so I already had my standards high. So I wanted to test theirs out and leave a review on them. And I was quite impressed. It was up there with my fav place in Rogers. So that made me happy. I ordered 1 each of the: Loroco y queso, Ayote y queso, and Pescado. I think Pescado was my fav, the other two, I really couldn't tell them apart. But they were big and good!!! And I have to say, the curtido wasn't super spicy like a lot of places. So this typical white girl could still handle it. It had a kick, but it wasn't so spicy I couldn't feel my face. My friend ordered the Churrasco Tipico, cooked medium rare. The flavor was great. But maybe it's just me and my lack of knowledge on curtain types of steak. But it was tender yet chewy. Lol. I know that doesn't make sense. But he said it was awesome. So maybe it's just that kind of cut. ‍It was still good. It just took me a minute to chew it. Bathrooms were clean, floors and tables were clean. It was just a perfect experience I have to say. So... over all... AMAZING!!! Loved it!! I WILL be back!

    This is a wonderful tasty spot that sort of gives me a mixture of casual dining and bodega vibes…read more The staff is extremely friendly and took the time to explain the menu to me on my first experience. I went with the recommended sandwich (unfortunately don't remember the name but it was chicken based with fresh veggies) and some pupusas. The sandwich was pretty good overall. I thought the chicken could have been cooked a little better but I enjoyed the ingredients and the veggies were very fresh. The pupusas however were DELICIOUS. Metaphorically speaking, fall-off-the-bone good. I highly recommend the mixed option that is a mixture of beans, pork, and cheese (if my memory serves correctly) and I have since tried the jalapeño and cheese options and enjoyed them as well. I dance with these pupusas in my dreams and it's difficult for me to not get them every day. Everyone is friendly here and the food was prepared pretty quickly! Este restaurante es muy bueno! Recommiendo las papusas porque estan DELICIOSOS. No creo que otros son mas mejores. Este lugar es muy comodo y las personas son muy simpaticas. Estoy emocionado para regresar!
