From New Orleans to Arkansas: Mexico Chiquito

This week we traveled to one of Arkansas’s oldest and favorite Mexican restaurants:  Mexico Chiquito!  Mexico Chiquito has been serving central Arkansas since 1935 with delicious Arkansas favorites like their tasty cheese dip and refreshing punch.   It’s no surprise this restaurant has such a longstanding Arkansas history!  Lots of history and delicious food-making in its original location. 

Mexico Chiquito now has five locations:   two in Little Rock… Cantrell Road and a Mex-to-Go location on Markham.  They are also located in North Little Rock, Jacksonville, and Conway.  We visited the Cantrell Road location and enjoyed delicious Mexican food and margaritas…Frozen and On The Rocks!

We started off with two Punch-a-ritas.  Mexico Chiquito has found something special with this delicious margarita.  It combines Mexico Chiquito’s classic margarita with their world famous punch!!  Available frozen and on the rocks.  What could be better than two of the world’s most perfect beverages combined???  

We paired our Punch-A-Rita’s with Mexico Chiquito’s fresh salsa and classic cheese dip…an Arkansas favorite!

Next up, it was time to try Mexico Chiquito’s classic Margarita, their special mix of sweet and sour, tequila, and Gran Gala…frozen and on the rocks!  Both were light, sweet, and refreshing, but really no match for the very special Punch-a-Rita. 

We paired our classic Margaritas with Mexico Chiquito’s tasty, crunchy tacos.  In our opinion, Mexico Chiquito has one of Arkansas’s best tacos around. 

 Their cheese dip taco is a must try!!

No meal at Mexico Chiquito is complete unless you finish it with their amazing fried ice cream!

Mexico Chiquito has five locations in Conway, Jacksonville, Little Rock, & North Little Rock.  Each location is open daily.  They are on Facebook and Twitter and often run promotions and coupons on their page, so following is very beneficial to your wallet and taste buds.  They are also on the web at http://www.mexicochiquito.net/index.shtml.

We are going back to New Orleans next week so stay tuned!  Happy sipping!

Salud!
