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!“

“I've enjoyed Baja Grill for a couple of years. I'm not a vegan but I love their mushroom & goat cheese bowl. This time I tried their Bulgogi tacos and had to make a review! I hope it frequents the menu, it is sooo good and juicy! To the left in the pic is a Cuban Bowl which is always an excellent flavorful choice! Also the Pomegranate Sour in pic is quite refreshing 😋

Trivia night was fun too! I hope there's many more to come!“

“Outdoor patio and Bloody Marys“

“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. 👍🏽“

“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.“

“Excellent authentic Mexican food at a good price! Great customer service as well! Highly recommend!“

“great food, friendly service“

“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!“

“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++“

“Always delicious!! Great service.“

“my mom ordered some chicken tacos along with some cheese dip for me today this was my very first time trying food from here from the Bryant location I absolutely loved it! if I could I would give this place 200 stars 🌟“

“One of our absolute favorite local spots!! Delish cocktails, creative seasonal faves, super friendly staff, and unique taco options. LOVE the taco salad and tamales!! 🥰“

“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!“

“for me it was just right. freshly cooked perfectly to the "T" the host explained everything ie: charges for to go container and so on. I'm not sure I understand it correctly but I can always confirm when I order. I had the chicken fajita chimichanga. Friendly.“

“This food is delicious! And great customer service!“

“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.“

“I ordered my steak carbon & small cheese dip. it arrived in until 10 minutes. it was hot & delicious. I couldn't finish the plate“

“Everything, especially sopes de chicharron en salsa roja. Also ask for the off menu home cooking plate of the day! Always a treat.“

“The Asada Nachos add Cilantro and onion were so fire. The asada tacos and alambre were so good the kids quesadilla looked like a taco but it was great. . The portion was fine to me because the taste can’t be beat. Flavor like you at the house.“

“Its not the place I would go get dinner, but if you want something really tasty for lunch or something to hold you over til dinner. They have everything you could possibly want and more. The nachos FANTASTIC, the Philly cheese steak OFF THE CHAIN, the street corn is a MUST as a side for any order ?“
