50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Little Rock

“Amazing food and great service!“

“This is probably the best Mexican restaurant in town I really enjoyed my meal I had a Taco salad and Campechano tacos and my missus had the Enchilada plate. The homemade restaurant style salsa was great as well as the cheese dip was tasty but was a bit on the watery side for my taste. So If you're looking for great Mexican food I highly recommend this restaurant for your entire family.

The only issue I had during my entire visit was my taco salad bowl was slightly overcooked which is clearly visible in my images but it still had a great taste. My server offered to have the dish remade but it still tasted fine to me even though the shell was clearly overcooked.“

“Very comfortable.. Family atmosphere... Smiles !!! Cant ask for more... o yea. GREAT FOOD“

“Incredible Catering for Our Daughter’s Graduation Party! 🎓🌮🇲🇽 We recently hired this amazing team to cater our daughter’s graduation party, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the moment the food arrived, it was clear we made the right choice. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely packed with authentic Mexican flavor. Will absolutely use them again. 💙💙“

“My daughter chose Local Lime for her special 16th birthday party and wanted to invite 25 of her friends. I was so worried about having that many teens show up without a guaranteed room, but everything about our experience was flawless. Our tables/area for 27 was ready exactly on time, our server (Justin B) did absolutely amazing, the food was hot and everything was correct. We were blown away by how perfect the entire large party went. Thank you for helping us celebrate our baby girl’s milestone!“

“This place is amazing! 10/10 I got tacos and queso and they were both amazing! The salsa is good and fresh! I would recommend to anyone!“

“Very fast. Wonderful food. If you order a large cheesedip to go they give you two drinking cups full of both cheesedip and salsa and an entire sack full of chips. Delicious! Friendly! Great service.“

“Great authentic 🇲🇽 food. Fast, friendly service. I will be back soon.“

“The food and service were fantastic! Everything was fresh and served quickly. The only issue we had was the wrong food was served to my granddaughter, but they rectified that quickly and provided her a fresh plate. The manager came out and apologized and gave us coupons for free queso on our next visit. Sometimes mistakes happen, and that's okay. What's important is how the mistake is handled and I think they did an excellent job!“

“Hidden Gem with Amazing Mexican Food

We stumbled upon this little hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant and were pleasantly surprised! The food was fantastic—authentic, flavorful, and well-prepared. We had the steak fajitas and a chimichanga, and both were cooked perfectly. The fajitas were sizzling hot with tender, well-seasoned steak, and the chimichanga was crispy on the outside and packed with delicious fillings.

Despite it being a Friday night, it wasn’t overly busy, which made for a nice, relaxed dining experience. It’s one of the only places in the area with sit-down seating, so it’s a great option if you’re looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a meal. Service was friendly and efficient, and the prices were reasonable for the quality of food. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area!“

“After moving out of Little Rock years ago, we had a chance to come to LR so a stop at Palenque was a MUST. The chilaquiles Verdes Con Pollo are a family tradition for us and we did not disappoint. Remains the BEST all-round Mexican North of the border!“
