“I had the best beef barria tacos I’ve ever had at this restaurant. Their salsa and chips are great and they have an habanero hot sauce that is among the hottest I’ve had. It’s fantastic. They have hard liquor too. Tuesday taco nights are a must have.”

“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!”

“Best darn burritos I’ve ever eaten in all my years. And I grew up eating authentic homemade Mexican food. I usually get the beef, but today I had the carnitas and it was simply amazing! The meat was cooked to perfection. Hands down, this is the best burritos ever! Every burrito comes with a grilled jalapeño and a bag of chips (random flavor) which is a nice addition. You really need to try this place if you’re looking for authentic home-cooked food. Ps: I can’t comment on their other food because I haven’t tried any of it yet.”

“This is my recommendation for ANYONE coming to Little Rock for authentic Mexican. Lots of good Tex-Mex in town, but I see more Hispanic dinners here than anyplace else in the city. Everything I have here I've enjoyed. I've been eating here for years, and anytime I'm in SWLR, I try to find a reason to be there at meal time. A++”

“The owner's hospitality was the best part of this experience. They were so kind and attentive. The food was extremely flavorful. The pastor & asada tacos were so yummy & juicy. The steak quesadilla was top tier because she used Mexican Oaxaca Cheese, truly the best. The green & red salsas were the cherry on top. Spicy but not too spicy & full of flavor. Also, the pricing was very decent for the portions we got. I 100% recommend this place to everyone in Little Rock located close to the UAMS hospital on W 7th Street. 👍🏽”

“The food was really good! Best barbacoa tacos we've had in a long time. The pastor could have used more marinade. We really enjoyed the homemade tortillas - they keep the taco fresh and doesn't fall apart like commercial tortillas. Wish the location was a little easier to get in and out of. Also - they don't accept card payments, just cash.”

“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!”
