Leal's Mexican Restaurant

I've been in town for a few days fishing the local trout river and I decided to give this place a shot since it was right near my hotel. I tried another Mexican type place in town and was very disappointed as you can see in my other reviews. This place was a treat.

Now I'm from Texas so my Tex Mex / Mexican standards are pretty high. Upon entering I noticed they were not very busy for dinner. I wish I caught the waitresses name because she was very friendly and we talked a bit and she made me feel right at home. The service was top notch.

The chips tasted like they were made in house and were fresh. The salsa was pretty decent as well. I had the Leal's Fajitas I believe it was called with chicken, beef, shrimp, and Mexican sausage with vegetables. I would have liked a little bit more seasoning but it was pretty good. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and everything else was as well. Tortillas were store bought but they were good. I think homemade tortillas must be a Texas thing because everywhere I've eaten here in Arkansas seems to use store bought ones. The rice and beans were pretty good as well and I enjoyed the guacamole that came with it. The portion was very large and the price was on par with other Mexican places I've eaten at.

Overall I was impressed being as it is Mexican food in Arkansas and compared to the other place in town I went it was night and day better. If I'm ever back in town I will eat here for sure.
