They have since restructured their menu, and they offer a vegan menu, with the ability to add on turkey if you choose. Their tamale's are amazing! They make their own queso and that is spot on.

I'm a huge fan of the business, and there has always been good food, and good vibes from them!!! We drive from far away to get dinner from there every so often. Hoping you'll do the same!!!

While service isn't Fast Food speed, there is a reason, Items are made fresh. My Wife placed our order, we ran next door to Kroger to get drinks and our order was ready by the time we got back. Our order was correct. The Tacos were stuffed with Meat and the Burrito was bigger than a Chipotle one and tasted a hundred times better. It has quickly become one, of our two, go to Tex-Mex Places in Conway, (Tio's is our other). The covered Seating Area is clean and very inviting.

There was one customer ahead of me. I was told about 10 minutes. About 12 minutes later, they handed a bag to the guy in front of me. A couple of minutes later, they handed me a bag. Walking to my car, I thought it felt a bit light because I had ordered a steak burrito and two steak tacos. Opening the bag, I see 3 tacos. I returned to the food truck and told them it wasn't my order. They had given mine to the other guy who had already left. He wasn't coming back because he had gotten twice the food he'd paid for. So I told them to make my burrito and I'd keep the 3 tacos for my inconvenience. The street tacos ($2) were okay. It's hard to mess up a taco. The burrito ($8) was very greasy on the outside and dry on the inside with little flavor. I couldn't finish it. They also cut it in half, which I hate. The salsa is chili based instead of tomato based and wasn't that great either. Bottom line: if you just want some street tacos, you're pretty safe. Otherwise, I'd avoid this place.

Get the thin and crispy fries!!! They're worth the wait. My first time here I ordered one of their loaded fry entrees and it was okay, but when I returned for a second shot I had a spicy grilled chicken sandwich that was very good and generously portioned. The drink menu looks promising, unfortunately I haven't made it to this restaurant without kids yet so I haven't tried anything from the bar.

The Bourbon Blitz Smashburger at Twisted Spud (Batesville)…read more Some burgers try to impress you. This one hits you square in the chest and then politely asks if you'd like fries with that. Twisted Spud's Bourbon Blitz Smashburger is what happens when a kitchen understands restraint and swagger at the same time. Let's start with the build. The double smash patties are pressed thin enough to get those deep, lacy, beef-forward edges--the kind that crackle when you bite in. That's not accidental. That's someone back there paying attention. The beef flavor leads, not the toppings, which is the first sign you're dealing with a serious burger. Then comes the pepper jack, melted just enough to coat the meat without hijacking it. You get heat, but it's controlled--no gimmicks, no cheap spice tricks. The bourbon glaze is where things turn special. Sweet, smoky, and just sticky enough to linger without drowning the bite. It's not dessert-sweet; it's confidence-sweet. The kind that knows exactly when to stop talking. Chipotle mayo adds a quiet, creamy warmth underneath everything--less "hey look at me" and more "you'd miss me if I weren't here." And those hand-breaded onion tanglers? Absolute chaos in the best way. Crunchy, savory, slightly wild--textural contrast that keeps every bite interesting all the way through. All of it comes together on a soft potato bun that actually understands its role: hold, support, and get out of the way. Paired with fries, this plate doesn't feel like bar food--it feels intentional. Thought through. Respected. Now let's talk about the vibe. The staff at Twisted Spud are exactly what you want in a place serving food like this: friendly without hovering, proud without being pushy, and clearly happy you're there. Service is quick, warm, and genuinely welcoming--the kind that makes you want to come back even before the check hits the table. Add to that multiple screens to watch some sports and have a drink with friends Bottom line: This isn't a "pretty good for a small town" burger. This is a flat-out good burger, period. If you're in Batesville and you skip Twisted Spud, that's on you. If you order the Bourbon Blitz and don't close your eyes on the first bite--check your pulse.

I came to the taco truck on Rodney Parham Road for a lunch date…read more I spent $35 on 6 tacos and 2 sides of elote. I would say the value was fair if not good. The food was good, I have had better before, but I regularly try new Mexican restaurants and trucks. The Birria tacos were pretty good, not great. The meat was average, the cheese was melted nicely, sauce was also good. The elote was okay. I think it needed more cheese. I wasn't blown away, but I was far from disappointed. Meal was a solid 7.5/10 I'd like to try the other tacos if I come back. The $2.50/piece tacos could make it a prime lunch spot if they're also good. If you're looking for a good taco spot I'd give it a try! If you're really a taco snob, you'll probably think they're a decent option. I would eat there again!

Hence, it was time to try what is to me the newest Mexican spot in town. It's a relatively small space, but what it lacks in volume it more than makes up for in quality and flavor. I ordered the Dos Amigos burritos plate: one steak and one chicken. Both were good, but the steak exists on a higher plane. A few other places use low quality beef for their steak, but Nopal was using good, flavorful beef. The verde sauce on top was delicious and mixed well with the cheese dip. The rice and beans were OK, but they weren't the stars of the show. Service was attentive and prompt. The pair who were working were exceedingly friendly. Great spot for Ark-Mex!
