Taqueria El Cunado - Mexican Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

They start you with chips/duritos served with beans, salsita verde and roja. Finish it off with fruit with chamoy and tajin. This spot hits all the points. read more

Taqueria El Cunado - Torta de pollo - Mexican Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

service was horrible, lady ignored my mother and not only that, but then I find a chocolate wrapper from olive garden In my food. Highly don't recommend. read more

Taqueria El Cunado - Here is the olive garden chocolate wrapper, I unwrapped it to see what exactly it was. Such a dangerous hazard - Mexican Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

They do not serve menudo. I am mucho disappointed. I wish they would add this dish to compliment the pozole.

If your looking for a great Taqueria look no further this place is legit. They serve up some great street tacos that's for sure. The Carna Asada tacos are always great from here. I love the salsa that comes with it. I like the green it's got just enough kick to it. Great service and great food. Plus the fresh tortilla chips is always good n hot read more

Only late night dine-in spot worth driving to after 2am on a Friday night! I live for the wheel chips that you get in place of salsa and chips... and the tacos are what you would expect to come from abuela's kitchen!! Get the al pastor tacos if you want the best of the best. They aren't skimpy on the amount of meat you get and the prices are super affordable. Only downside is the place could be a bit cleaner... things get cramped and the bathrooms need a good power wash. read more

Our go to burrito place was closed the day after Thanksgiving so we gave El Cunado a shot. Super friendly staff took our to go order, provided us a treat (bananna's, yogurt and walnuts) while we waited. Our crew ordered breakfast burritos: bacon, eggs, potatoes, cheese and bean. They included grilled peppers and onions, radishes, cilantro and limes-all a bonus! The green salsa was spicy as was the red but both added great flavor and kick. The rest of the menu looks authentic. Stop by give them a try, I'm sure you'll be glad you did. read more

Best tacos and salsa ever. I came back to eat after living out of state for 10 + years and it's still the same great tasting food.

The go to for late night tacos in Springdale. The drink deals are amazing too. Excellent spot for delicious

The food was to dry and overcooked, my food way to dry they cooked it to long and didn't ask how I wanted it

It's sad. This place was once AWESOME. Cheap, delicious, and friendly. In the last year, something has changed... The Asada Burrito used to be $6.50 and was gigantic. It was filled with rice and refried beans with a little bit of steak. Pretty cheap to make, really. It has a mix of cilantro and onion in it. It was substantial and delicious. It is now a shadow of its former self. A tiny, loosely wrapped $9 sad, little burrito. Huge bummer. Half of the time they don't even include the green salsa. This never would have happened ~2-5 years ago, not to mention a decade ago. It's like watching a loved one change over time. It hurts. If you dine in, the experience is still good. Just don't trust them to make good to-go orders anymore. I've been going here for a decade. I'm hurt. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this Taqueria, this place is out of this world. If u haven't tried Cuñado, then u must. Got there pretty late, at around 11pm, were seated right away. To my surprise, we were given retried beans as well as salsa and chips complimentary. This is a first, the beans were delicious! The salsa was good as well, and the chips were crunchy and fresh. I order some tacos and they came in pretty fast. The tacos were good, the meat was fresh and well cook. Overall a great place to get some late night tacos or just come in and enjoy during the day. I believe they stay open till very late so that's a plus!! read more

We have order here (take out) on several occasions since Covid started. We keep coming back because it reminds us of home. My husband is from California and we lived in Arizona before relocating to NWA. Everything we've ordered tastes authentic and delicious. We will continue to patron this business! read more

I had the pleasure of eating here for the first time last night (Saturday) at 2 am. I was with some friends from the area that highly recommended it. What I saw was a bit SHOCKING having lived in Bentonville for a few years now where EVERYTHING is closed by 10 pm at the latest(food). There were old and young packed inside just enjoying their food and life. The waitress we had was very friendly, although another reviewer mentioned this was probably because we were men lol, our food came out clean, fast, hot, and friendly. They had, the book of eli, playing on their tv's, which was cool. My friends recommended the page that has the tacos/burritos on it. I ordered two tacos asadas that I will post a pic of. Very delicious, don't think I can eat taco bell again. My friends recommended king burrito in rogers if I want something similar but closer again. The portion of tacos I received was very big, and it also only cost me 3.75. I felt so ashamed that I tipped more then the cost of my meal lol. The chips and salsa that came out was good too. Don't know what type of hot puff of circle the chip was, but it was good. The red salsa was very spicy! Ohh FYI, the waitresses don't appear to speak any english, but the cashier did. They do accept credit cards. You pay at the door when you are finish. read more

Taqueria El Cunado - Tacos Asada. Very Good! This whole plate with chips and salsa cost me 3.70. Amazing - Mexican Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

Hidden Gem in Springdale! Food is delicious and cheap. I can not think of a better taqueria in the area! Everything I've ordered is delicious. Also free bean dip!?!? Come on! They don't skimp on the quantity too. When I'm in the area I always stop by. read more

Phenomenal. Very authentic food. I would definitely recommend agua de melon with your meal! Service is very friendly. I've been here dozens of times and I'm never disappointed. read more

Authentic Mexican food, drinks, desserts and atmosphere; including Mexican candy at the cash register which I remember seeing in Baja, Mexico, years ago. I ordered 3 tacos: El Pastor, Asada and Barbacoa - outstanding, really good! They serve 2 great salsas (verde & chipotle) when you first get seated, both are delicious, but pretty hot / spicy. #SpringdaleTacoTour read more

Went here over two years ago and LOVED this place for authentic Mexican fare. Top-of-the-line! Made a return trip to Arkansas last week and was not as impressed as the first time I was there. Carne Asada was overcooked and my son's chicken quesadilla was oozing grease. He even pulled out a two-inch chicken bone as he was attempting to eat this mess. Positive notes......chorizo tacos were amazing, salsas were top of the line. Also prices are very cheap!!! read more

if i could put no star i would this place was so nasty i bought 2 plates of green chilaquiles and they were so bad . the rice the beans were awful even asked with no eggs and they still served them on my chilaquiles . Even the apperance was bad , i literally took 1 bite and left . never ever coming back here again even if it was free. and to top if off it was $45 for just chilaquile plates and 2 smoothies . read more

Best taste for VALUE! I can essentially guarantee you're not going to find better, made from scratch Mexican cuisine for this price anywhere in the city. The one thing that others could consider a turn-off is the interior...I'm there to eat though, not admire the ambiance (which has its own charm). read more

Delicious! Fast service and a wide variety of food. I had the carnitas street tacos and I will definitely be coming back!

If I could give this review ZERO STARS I would. Where to start... We came across this place while visiting a family member. She suggested it, raving about how great the food was. So you know, why not? We came in with a party of four. We sat at a near by table which we didn't notice was dirty until we had already sat down and salsa and churritos had already been brought out. We cleaned it the best we could && we let our server know that the table was dirty, hoping she would wipe it down for us. She said someone would... But nobody ever did. The food was the nastiest thing I have ever tasted. I had a quesadilla with Asada. The meat was dry, oily, and bland. One of my family members ordered the chicken flautas, which were also dry && hard. Their beans don't look like beans at all. Their rice was dry and flavorless. Our "server" brought our food out && never came back. She didn't check on us, she didn't bring refills, NOTHING. I'm surprised this place is even in business or can even call themselves a restaurant. I truly believe the only reason they even have people is because of their authentic Mexican food. Which I will give them credit, is authentic. But BAD authentic food? What is the point? Do the people of Springdale NOT HAVE more options? I should guess not since this place is still going. Never wasting my money here again... Don't waste yours either. read more

The food is pretty good. The service is friendly. I had the shrimp cocktail and it was large. The carne asada tacos were okay. Overall good experience. read more

Delicious, authentic, fresh and hot, for a great price. The beef soup tasted homemade, like Someone spent hours in the kitchen. read more

Taqueria El Cunado - Beef Soup and chicken quesadillas, delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

If you want authentic Mexican food then eat here. This place took me back to my days living in Chicago and traveling to the taqueria on Chicago Ave. getting an assortment of tacos to munch on. Ahhh! The good old days!! The atmosphere here was fun and funky with Mexican pop music blaring from some weird but cool video montage playing on the televisions. The waitress was kind and helpful offering her service if we needed help in understanding anything because the menu is completely in spanish. This ain't TexMex baby and I love it! Order everything and then order it again. It's just that good. read more

Taqueria El Cunado - Mexican Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

Hungry? You can make a stop here and kill that hunger all the beg selections of Mexican food that they offer. You will not be disappointed. I am a very picky person when it comes to Mexican food, I am Mexican and I know what is like to have real Mexican food. Their drinks are excellent as well. Good and fast service. I came here with 3 other friends and we ordered so much food and we paid close to not even $40. read more

Taqueria El Cunado - Asada Sope and cow tongue taco. With horchata water. Yummmm!!! - Mexican Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

Just moved in from LA a couple of weeks ago and I miss those good tacos and burritos!!! If I can give it 0 stars I would. Tried it 2 times I thought my first expierence was bad luck but it was worse the second time. This place and taqueria Guanajuato are the only ones open late at night after the clubs and bars close so I would much rather drive a little further for taqueria Guanajuato. The food here is just horrible the meats are not good. The meat is burned and has no taste the chicken nachos were nasty worst nachos I have ever had. My friend got a quesadilla de asada and it seemed like they put all the oil they can find in her quesadilla. Worst place to eat I would never come back here again read more

The best Mexican restaurant in NWA. Very authentic, down to the goofy soap operas and game shows playing on the televisions. One of the few places in the area that has flor de calabaza (squash blossom). Would go more often if Taqueria Vega wasn't so convenient (and nearly as delicious). (review based on ~5 visits) Price Per Person: - Under $10 Recommended Dishes: - Flor de Calabaza (Squash Blossom) Quesadilla; Tacos al Pastor Best for: - Lunch or Take Out read more

We are from California visiting family in Van Buren, we went back twice to eat there! Awesome Mexican food and Service! Thank you!

The best Agua fresca, horchata, pozolé and Alambré around! Might be a slight language barrier for americans, but it's worth it. read more

Taqueria El Cunado - Mexican Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

SO. GOOD. I am from San Antonio and grew up eating authentic Mexican food. This is the best Mexican restaurant I have been to in Arkansas. It is delicious!! It is obvious the chef takes great pride in their work because so much care was put into our meals. I enjoyed the Barbacoa tacos - fantastic!!! Also - the restaurant was clean and the service was friendly read more

We had just gotten back from a 24 hour drive and decided to order some food to-go and my food was ready really quick! I've been eating here for a long time and they haven't disappointed me. I recommend it read more

Had high hopes when we came in. But Both chicken and Asada tacos looked really good but fell short. All the right ingredients but Meat managed to be overcooked, greasy, dry and un-flavorful all at once. Refried beans were completely and utterly puréed beyond recognition. Rice was standard. Corn Tortillas were decent. Service was curt but effective. Univision playing the game. Good drinks selection licuados, juice, sodas, read more

The food here is sooo good. Their burritos are delicious and their beverages are so fresh. Since I've moved I still miss their food. I liked coming here after a night of dancing and drinks to unwind and get the food to soak the alcohol up lol definitely must try. read more

Food is some of the best in the area but falls short in service. I took some friends to this place and talked it up to be the best place in Springdale... They agreed the food was great although they couldn't help but notice the bug spray in a cart next to us. read more

Visiting from the city of Mexican Food (Los Angeles) it's not practical to compare NWA Mexican Food and Boyle Heights (West of East L. A.). But if I had a choice of the closest to the taste and aura I'll pick El Cuñado. The food is excellent with hand made tortillas (if the old lady is in the kitchen). From Sopes to Fajitas the menu is closely compared to some of the best Mexican eateries of Los Angeles. If you're looking for a hole in the wall, the Best Mexican Food and a chance to speak a little bit of Spanish then this is the place in all of Northwest Arkansas. read more

Small and clean. Authentic and fast. Good times. Try a sample of tacos. The ceviche tostado was surprisingly fresh and sweet. Recommended.

I love this Taqueria takes me back to the flavor of real food also stays open late for whenever you get out of your job at night and you're hungry or you get out the club that night and you're hungry either way TC stays open late sometimes stays open all night. Awesome food awesome service. read more

food is so dry, Tacos are not good, the meat is old on the tacos like if i was siting the the grill for hours. everything i tried here is not good at all. The waitresses are horrible. Never friendly! read more
