La Bodeguita - Mexican restaurant in Hot Springs National Park - 1313 Central Ave, USA

The food was better than average. The mole had a different, but very good flavor, however it was a bit runny. My wife had the tamales (I had her leftovers the next day). She really enjoyed them...so did I. The flan was nothing to write home about. If it hadn't been inside a grocery store the atmosphere would have been nicer. I would go back.

I ordered 2 carne asadas, chicken nuggets kids meal, a horchata and a water bottle and was charged $50. Food was not that good and not that tasteful. Pictures online of the menu had different prices. When we went to ask why were we charges so much if the menu online showed different prices. Waitress and owner had an attitude saying that they changed the prices months ago. Owner said why am I making a big deal about it. Of course im going to ask why such a difference in the prices! I dont want to get overcharged for food that wasnt even that great. Not worth the high prices that they are charging.

Delicious mexican food, fast friendly service. It is in the back of a small market. The street tacos and nachos were amazing. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food in the hot springs area. It was a great find on our vacation to historic hot springs arkansas. Best authentic mexican we have had in the midwest. The steak flavor was delicious. We might be back for more before our vacation is over.

Carne Asada or “grilled beef” for $14.99! You get two slabs of steak, grilled cactus, home cooked pot of beans, avocado salad, and rice with tortillas on the side! What a deal! Amazing flavor and best way to have steak tacos is to DIY!! Note, they only serve beer but they can make a michelada. The mixed meat street tacos they sell on Saturdays is worth getting too. They have a small but very wide selection store that has mostly grocery items. This is where I get my big, grilled bag of 12” CORN tortillas to make tlayludas at home. The prices are decent but I’ve noticed cheaper grocery prices at other authentic Hispanic shops in town. This place does offer the best tasting Asada deal in town though for sure. I recommend it over the Cecina since they had the same texture and fixings, just the Cecina didn’t have that bold flavor like the Asada.

This is still one of my favorite places to eat in Hot Springs. I've been eating here now for about three years. The food has changed once and I was surprised. It was good before and it's good now. The owner came over to our table and said he likes to always keep improving to food. The food arrives fast! There's a grocery store there too that you can shop while waiting or watch TV. I really enjoyed all of my experiences here. I will recommend the donuts too- these are traditional Mexican pastries. Good price and delicious.

A+++++ Best Chicken Nachos EVER! When you can see the chips that is Super Loaded With Everything! I recommend this place to Everyone

Where do I begin. Okay, wow!! This is a hidden gem 💎 for sure!! The whole tilapia was excellent. My wife ordered the caldo de camaron soup that has carrots, potatoes, large shrimp, squid, mussels, and a whole crab. The food was excellent. The restaurant even has a grocery store attached and they had Peruvian Inca Kola which was a treat for us since we've been to Peru. I will be back for sure to try more off the menu.

Terrible service. The 2 servers just sat on their phone. Chicken street tacos, too dry. I DO NOT RECOMMEND and my wife and I won’t be coming back.
