If you’ve ever been to Mexico, you probably recognize the difference between Westernized Mexican food and real south-of-the-border style Mexican food. There is nothing like a jam-packed bean burrito or a fish taco with salsa verde to make you feel like you’re dining on a sandy beach somewhere in Puerto Vallarta. We at Rath Auto Resources NWA enjoy great Mexican food as much as anyone. This is where to eat the best Mexican Food in Springdale.

Charlie’s Taqueria

If you’re looking for tasty authentic Mexican food served by a friendly and gracious staff,  go to Charlie’s Taqueria. It’s a regular stop for many locals on their lunch hour and, after just one visit, you’ll know why. Try the delicious beef tacos with chopped onion, guacamole, and fresh cilantro, or try the whole fish which is fresh and perfectly prepared.

Mariscos Playa Azul

The Food at Mariscos Playa Azul is simply amazing. This restaurant is best known for its decadent seafood dishes, which are mouthwateringly good and still affordable. Try the shrimp enchiladas, and take in in the vibrant, colorful ambiance. Chat with the happy and cheerful staff. Before long, you’ll never want to leave.

Los Bobos Taqueria

We know that Los Bobos is technically in Fayetteville, but once you eat there you’ll know why we had to put it on this list. Try a torta, which is basically a Mexican style sandwich, or try the scrumptious fish tacos. People travel from near and far for a taste of old Mexico at Los Bobos Taqueria. Note that they only take cash, so plan accordingly.

Don Pedros

If you’re a taco fan — and let’s face, who isn’t? — Don Pedros is the place for you. Try the polo or carnitas tacos. They’re all good, but those are the very best. Close your eyes, and you’ll think you’re at a genuine Mexican cabana. If you’re on a budget, go to Don Pedros on Taco Tuesday when all tacos are only $1. The food is always fresh, and the staff is always attentive. What more could you want, aside from a margarita on the rocks?

Taqueria Juanajuato

Taqueria Juanajuato is always packed and rightfully so. It serves authentic Mexican cuisine at its best. The quesadillas are super cheesy. The portions are generous and always delicious. This eatery uses only fresh, local ingredients; take one bite, and it’s obvious. Taqueria Juanajuato is one of the best Mexican food restaurants in the area.

There is something about Mexican food that is downright addicting, but it’s in a good way. You can gorge on chips and salsa, and wash it down with a cool strawberry margarita. Order fajitas or enchiladas, and then finish it off with some homemade flan to make your taste buds dance. So grab your family or a few friends, and head out for a fiesta of your own. Celebrate something fun or nothing at all. Regardless of the occasion or your company, you’ll enjoy these five Mexican food establishments in Springdale.
