Craving Mexican Food? 3 Best Mexican Restaurants Near Springdale, AR

1. Tacos 4 Life

Tacos 4 Life donates a meal made from scratch to a hungry child with each meal purchased so you can enjoy good food that helps a great cause. Try the Chicken Tortilla Soup seasoned with cilantro and garlic as an individual appetizer, or grab an order of the Ultimate Nachos smothered in pico de gallo and house-made queso to share with the table. Add on crispy fried eggplant, chorizo sausage, seared tofu, or hand-carved steak to elevate your nachos.

We like to mix and match our favorite tacos such as the Hawaiian Shrimp with pineapple and toasted coconut, the Carnitas with slow-roasted pork and cumin, and the Mango Habanero filled with grilled chicken and cotija cheese to create a top-tier meal. If tacos aren’t your thing, go for one of the bowls such as the Korean BBQ Rice Bowl with yum-yum sauce or the Tropical Rice Bowl with pumpkin seeds. Treat yourself to a gooey homemade cookie for dessert!


2. El Cunado

El Cunado is a family-owned restaurant run by a husband and wife who specialize in both Tex-Mex and traditional Mexican cuisine. Start your meal off with a refreshing glass of one of the natural juice drinks like the Tropical with orange, papaya, and pineapple or the Multi C with guava, strawberry, and lime. Fajita fans are sure to enjoy the Fajitas Nortenas with beef, chicken, jalapeno, onion, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, and poblano peppers served steaming.

Tacos, burritos, tortas, sopres, and quesadillas come with either asada (grilled beef), cabeza (cheek meat), lengua (tongue meat), chorizo (Mexican sausage), alambre (grilled steak and vegetables), pollo (chicken), or carnitas (braised pork) stuffed inside and smothered in cheese. Additional specialty meals include the Chimichanga made from a filled deep-fried flour tortilla, the Pollo Loco served over beans and rice, and the Fajitas Mr. Pepe with shrimp and cactus.


3. Taqueria Guanajuato

Taqueria Guanajuato is another authentically delicious eatery run by a local family who serves dishes focused around local produce and freshly made tortillas. Quesadillas come with rice, beans, and salad, and we particularly enjoy the Alambre Quesadilla with bell peppers and pineapple, the Chicharron Quesadilla with pork link and green sauce, and the Nopales Quesadilla filled with cactus. Add on a Jamaica Hibiscus Flower or Nuez Walnut beverage to wash it down.

Seafood lovers should try the Caldo de Camaron soup with shrimp and carrots, the Cocktel de Camaron y Pulpo with octopus and avocado, or the Camaron A la Diabla with a spicy kick. Customers with a taste for tortas will appreciate the Combinada with pork leg and breaded beef or the Pambazo with chorizo and lettuce, while fans of gorditas need to look no further than the Asada Gordita with dark chocolate, caramel, espresso dipped ladyfingers, and whipped cream.

From savory soups to sweet desserts, there’s something for every diner at one of these Mexican places, and we’re sure that you’ll love every bite of whichever meal you choose. After you’ve emptied your plate, head over to Rath Mitsubishi of Springdale to shop vehicles, parts, services, and more!
