The food was great! It came out fast. The people were nice! Would go back again
Excellent Tex/mex style offerings. Drive through has 10 choices, but you can check their full menu online and order by phone. Just call ahead and drive thru to pick up.
I had my doubts about this place. I have heard mixed reviews, we haven't liked a whole lot of Mexican restaurants in Arkansas, and we were really craving sushi...we just weren't willing to wait that long for food.
The thing that stuck out the most was the service. Our server was very attentive, took our order well, and was on top of drink refills. The food was delicious! I got the chicken fajitas and my husband got a burrito and 3 soft tacos. The fajitas were perfectly...read full review

El Padrino JP | Mexican offers excellent Mexican food in a pleasant environment. The food is described as authentic mexicano food, with everything seriously impressive. Specific meals mentioned include the Special Dinner, which comes as two huge platters of food, and the Molcajete, which was incredible with meat that melts in the mouth. The shrimp, steak, and chicken are cooked perfectly and seasoned well with tons of flavor, and the enchiladas and chalupas are amazing. The horchata is sweetened just right, and the chips and salsa have a soft crisp. Food comes out fast, fresh, and hot. Service receives mixed reviews, with some experiences noting a very friendly and efficient waitress, while others mention service was kind of lacking with slow seating and check delivery. However, many reviewers highlight friendly and welcoming staff who are attentive, and one reviewer notes that service, drinks, and food have greatly improved. The draft beer is always ice cold. The restaurant is also friendly to dogs and gives them treats. Overall, it is a 10/10 experience highly recommended.
