Delicious Vegan Options

I loved their vegan tamales and the cheese sauce is more like a mouthwatering soup, highly recommend!!!

Check the food you receive, because they won't

I was several forkfulls into my $18 mixed veggie fajitas with no sour cream or cheese before I noticed they had put cheese on it anyway. Yuck!

Frankly the options here are not very good, and I'm surprised this place is even listed. I could only find one entree on the menu that is vegan without modification, and that's the sweet potato tamale. Not really for me, but I'm glad it's there (and is labeled).

The fact that they have guacamole and vegan cheese dip (cool) doesn't make up for the lack of options here. It's probably okay if you're stuck with a picky group, but examine the food you get carefully. The flavor was okay but nothing to write home about, especially not for the price.

I am giving this place 2/5 instead of 1/5 only because I have no way to say if this is a recurring problem with this restaurant. It is nice that they label vegetarian and vegan menu items, but they desperately need more of them.

Pros: Vegan cheese dip

Cons: Lack of caution when preparing vegan food

I ordered the vegan tamales and once served they did not match the description on the menu… I double checked w/ the waitress and she said it was the correct. I bit into it to find pieces of pork and when I told her she apologized and said she should’ve listened to me the first 2 times I had asked. Ridiculous!!!!!

Tasty tamales

Unfortunately vegan cheese dip wasn’t available when we first went, so we ordered 3 different vegan salas with warm chips. Chips were soooo good.
Ordered vegan tamales which had sweet potatoes, beans and corn. Verrry tasty. We were happy about them. Love that they have vegan options clearly marked. Our server said they can modify salads too even though non of their salads are vegan.

Forgot to take pictures but vegan fajita was tasty. Comes without sourcream and cheese etc, but still good.

Vegan cheese dip you say?!?

I’ve never seen vegan queso on a menu at a Tex-Mex place before, so of course I had to try it! The MIL was making dinner, so we just stopped in for a snack and a drink. We got the cheese dip & a small guacamole to munch on, I tried the gunpowder proof frozen cocktail and my guy got the Henry’s whiskey fix.
The guac was really good, and chips were definitely made in house. To be honest, the cheese dip was only mediocre. It was runny and needed a lot more nutritional yeast imho. My cocktail was really good, and my honey thought his was pretty good too, although he admitted mine was better. We were only visiting for a short time, but if I ever go back to Bentonville I would love to try some of the other dishes.

Yummy Tex Mex

Options are clearly labeled, and delicious. The sweet potato tamales are so good with the vegan queso on top! Would be nice to have a vegan chorizo/tofu option.

Great food and decor

We have become fans of this spot right off the downtown square. The vegan options are labeled and the server can assist you with further options if you ask. We ordered vegan tamales, housemade chips with 3 salsas, fajitas, and tacos for the table. They were out of the vegan queso, it goes fast! Have not tried the dessert menu yet. Highly recommend!

Pros: Lively atmosphere , vegan options on the menu, more options if you ask

Surprisingly awesome

I didn’t expect much in a small town in Arkansas, but this was legit! Their vegan options were few, but good enough I’d go back for them. Sweet potato tamales, salsas, and vegan queso were great. Clearly labeled on the menu, and solid vegan gluten free options. Would have loved a vegan taco option, though.

Good food, just not much of it

The food was very good, we had the vegan tamales and the veggie enchiladas. The flavors were great, but just not that much food.

Delicious Tex Mex

Great location in downtown Bentonville with awesome atmosphere and lots of seating. Nice spot for lunch or dinner. They have limited vegan options but everything is clearly labeled and there are enough options for a full meal (appetizer, main & dessert). Great service and very accommodating when ordering. Tamales are a little small so I recommend getting the order of 6!

Pros: Vegan options listed on menu, Atmosphere , Great flavor

Cons: Limited options for mains and sides , Slower service during peak times , Hard to find parking
