Thank you for the vegetarian menu!!!…read more This location is away from the main attraction of the strip, so it was a few minutes drive. This city is small so, not a lot of people were there. We were seated and served immediately. I ordered a drink but tasted like cough medicine so I asked for oj and mixed it in, which made it significantly better. I ordered from the vegetarian menu- spinach enchiladas without cheese. They were perfection! Love love love! It came with beans and rice. The chips and salsa was free. The weather was perfect we sat outside and our server was attentive. We loved this place and will come back if we ever come back to this town!

They had x3 different types of salsa at varying spice levels which were fun to try. The menu itself was plentiful, ranging from your standard tacos to fajitas, carne asada, seafood dishes, and more. The sizzling fajitas came out promptly and were delicious, complimented by rice beans, avocado, lettuce, and tortillas along with onions, green peppers, and tomatoes on the plate itself. For around $15, this place can't be beat. I also tried their horchata which was also tasty. Pro tip: cash is preferred at this venue, and there is a small Hispanic grocery store inside as well. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone in Hot Springs looking for a Mexican food fix!

Both drinks were balanced and refreshing. Got the asada burrito (10) with carne asada, black beans, rice, cheese, onion, tomatoes, and peppers. Burrito was decent but had a bit too much rice for me. The tacos: two carne asada, one al pastor, were the highlight. Simple, flavorful, like good street tacos should be. Loved the Frida Kahlo-inspired interior, bright and colorful with a personal touch from the family's CDMX roots!

Skip this restaurant…read more Tamales- 3 ordered- two cheese and one chicken. The flavor was good but I truly struggled with the texture. The corn masa matrix was extremely dry and crumbly like breadcrumbs but I envisioned it to be moist and hold together. Chicken barely there and dry. The cheese- um I expected a nice gooey melted cheese but I received a very dry piece of hard stick cheese in the middle. We didn't care for the bean/ corn salsa. Seems to need more seasoning. Service was friendly and attentive. Wont be back.

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 place is across the street from the horse racing tack and was surprisingly much larger than expected. The menu is huge and service was friendly and great. The prices were reasonable. Sorry. I wish I took a picture of the menu. Probably online somewhere. Parking lot is huge and we could only assume that the place is jumping during racing season. My wife chose 1 shrimp taco and another with steak. She really enjoyed them both. I had 2 southern tacos (fried chicken pieces). We both took the crispy shells too. I liked mine but I'm still not sure about the crispy shells taste.maybe they needed to change the deep frying grease? I'm not sure. I was happy to see 4 different choices of hot sauce to choose from ( 3 of the 4 are home made and good). The moral of the story is that we both agreed to come back some time and try other things on the menu. It's worth the stop if in the area. I'd be interested in your review.
