I am so happy that the new owners are serving food that is just as good as the original owners. New name - LaCatrina. If you like authentic Mexican food, try it.

Some guys were smoking so that wasn't an option. The lady at the window told me they had regular tacos for $2.50 and mini street tacos for $1.25. I chose mini tacos 2 of each. Carnitas, barbacoa, ground beef, & chicken. From the. Reviews I thought I couldn't go wrong. But that wasn't the case. Or maybe I'm just to Texan to think OK knows how Mexican food should taste. But one thing is for sure. If Seasoning is off then it doesn't matter what you make. And today the carnitas and ground beef had way to much salt. I had to throw away. The chicken was dry. The barbacoa tasted like regular shredded Carne, not the fatty delicious of cheek and tongue. 3 stars for the service and the salsa.. salsa had flavor but not spicy..

They brought the obligatory chips and salsa to start . The salsa was good! The chips? Not so much. Wife ordered shrimp tacos (with rice and refried beans). I ordered ground beef tacos (with rice and refried rice beans. Wife really liked her tacos. Two huge tacos stuffed and good sized shrimp tails on them. She said she'd order them again. I was "so-so" on my beef tacos. They were huge but there was something about them that has me debating if I would order them again. I might go with the chimichanga next time. To be honest, I'm a Texan and it's been a chore finding anything to compare with Tex-Mex . This has been one of two that might come close. So I'd encourage anyone to try this place. I will stress CAUTION though. 1) If you use the side entrance from the parking lot. Be VERY CAREFUL!! There a 2 step downs at the door to enter the place. If it's sunny outside, you will have to adjust your vision quickly to the darker inside and trip over can easily happen. 2) the restrooms are in B a very narrow hallway and the doors are heavy and spring loaded. If you are like me, with a disability, it may be a challenge navigating all that so be prepared. Having someone assist you might be a good call. Have a great day!!!

Taco Mama - The Tamale Tip That Paid Off…read more We were midway through an early dinner at Cafe 1217 when a local picking up takeout struck up a conversation and started passionately recommending Taco Mama next door. Specifically, the tamales. You could tell this wasn't casual advice, this was a mission. So, naturally, we listened. On our way out of town toward Texas, we grabbed half a dozen to-go, planning to turn them into a road trip breakfast with friends. Risky? Maybe. Worth it? Absolutely. Big hit. The masa was just right, great texture, good flavor, holding everything together without stealing the show. The sauces were outstanding, especially the red one, which brought a solid kick without overwhelming things. By the next morning, we looked like heroes. If you're in Hot Springs and craving Mexican food, this is your stop. Friendly service, a colorful, lively setting, and a patio if you want a little fresh air with your meal. And if a local tells you what to order... trust them.

The chipotle sauce was like a bbq sauce...very tasty. Carnitas had good flavor but could use a sauce, which they have options. The fried chicken tender on the southern taco lacked flavor. If you're a fan of fish tacos from Rubio's in California, these are meat identical flavor. The red snapper was fresh and flaky. And there's many more taco options. We had a training server but he was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu and options. And then there's the margaritas. Had the hibiscus 'rita. Priced very well and better than other restaurants in the area. We will definitely be back.

I really try not to leave negative reviews, but considering this place has pretty good reviews, and…read moreproudly displays many "best tacos" awards, our experience was very disappointing. Everything started out ok - our waitress was sweet and attentive when we first sat down. However, once we ordered, we waited and waited for the food. After 45 minutes, we explained that we either needed our food or we'd like the bill for our chips so we could go to another place to eat. After that, the food appeared pretty quickly. Unfortunately, the food was truly bad - no salt, and very, very bland. I especially have to mention the beef...we ordered a carne asada taco and a fajita taco (the fajita taco description mentioned having "ribeye") and the meat in both was awful. It could be squeezed into mush between my fingers. Again, the staff was friendly enough, and I think they tried their best to make up for the long wait, which we appreciate, but to wait that long and the food be SO subpar just really made for a bad meal. I would try and find another place to eat when you visit Hot Springs.

The restaurant itself is what I would consider "Hole-in-the-wall," consisting of four small tables and a few outside patio tables. While the restaurant itself isn't the best, the food is seriously addicting!!! I've tried most everything on the menu. My favorites are the tamales, nachos and cheese with beans, and the baby burrito (which is only slightly smaller than what a person would consider a regular size burrito. Their regular sized burrito is closer to the size of Chipotle's.) Their food is not healthy by any stretch of the imagination. Lots and lots and lots of cheese (perhaps part of the reason I love it so much, being a Midwestern girl that loves her cheese!) This is almost always my diet "cheat day" place of choice when I'm in Arkansas. Their home made salsa is honestly the best I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and buy a bottle to take home with you! You will not regret it!

This is flavor town yall. Dishes even come with a chile brine to dip in. The meat is supple, flavorful and deeeeelicious. They soak the shells in the brine before putting them on the griddle so they have a saturated color and flavor that I am all about. Guac is fresh and super solid. White queso is redonk with house made chips and schmered on everything. My buddy is a taco truck enthusiast who basically thinks he struck gold by finding this place, visiting it every week since he found it. I'll probs get three meals out of this and it is VERY reasonably priced! Incredible. Gracias!! SUPPORT LOCAL FOOD
