I wandered in here looking for a quick bite someplace close by. The man who greeted me was very welcoming and saw me to a table. Instead of chips and salsa I was served pillowy fried chip wheels and a glass jar of sliced jalapeños, onions, and carrots. They were fantastic together. I was blown away when my tacos arrived. Served with a grilled jalapeño, cucumbers, radishes, lime and a heaping helping of cilantro and grilled onions. Every bite of these tacos was nothing less than a flavor explosion. Moist, hot chorizo and carne asada, served on homemade, lightly fried tortillas, with perfectly seasoned vegetables. Usually tacos of this kind have meat, cilantro, and chopped onion but these were next level. I also saw giant glasses of cold beer and margaritas walk by to other tables. Needless to say this place is worth the trek to find. I will indeed be bringing friends out to try more items, although it will be tough to not order the tacos. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food in Arkansas, your journey is over. El Palenque is still fantastic but they are taking cooking to the next level at Eliella.

The food at this place is WONDERFUL! I felt like I was earing food cooked by my friends' parents in Colorado again. The carne asada was cooked with just the right amount of char on the edges to give it that fresh of the grill flavor without being chewy. The cactus on the side was cleaned and grilled to perfection, and the rice was fluffy and flavorful. The refried beans were the best I've ever had at a restaurant. And the pupusas were nearly an inch thick and in addition to being hot and fresh, they were obviously made by skillful hands, not out of a bag from a factory. The corn tortillas also took me back down memory lane because they were obviously handmade and not those dry, flimsy tortillas I'm used to getting in an American restaurant. The downside to this place is you may have trouble with the menu if you don't speak Spanish, and the interior definitely needs a paint job. However, if you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this is the place! The plus side, too, is they're not busy on weekends, so go on in and get your grub on!Kid-friendliness: There were 3 families there, and the kids were enjoying the food.Wheelchair accessibility: The tables were spaced out enough to accommodate wheelchairs easily.

If you are heavyset, like me, you will be laughed at and made to feel uncomfortable by the servers. The service was terrible. The food was even worse. No spice whatsoever, no flavor. Papusa was overly greasy. I asked for 2 plates so my friend and I could share the nachos, the server assumed because I’m a fatty that I would eat the whole plate of nachos by myself then order a main course…. No thank you! Which the nachos were bland af, like taco bell literally tastes better and it’s not even real Mexican food. We will not be back. Was not worth the $20. Zero stars if I could.

$12.28 for two non-alcoholic drinks (horchata)? How much did the drink cost ? I couldn’t find it on their online menu. 4% charge for using a card and 15% tip that I didn’t even know about. Service is terrible. I would not recommend and will never go back. I wish I could give no stars.

The food was not good at all, the price is outrageous for the quality of the food, the service was poor and they automatically charge you a 15% tipAbsolute worst dining experience ever, will not be going back

The more they have, the more they want. I remember going here in the past and receiving good food and great service at a fair price. The owners have turned into thieves. They don't use paper menus anymore. I'm sure this is so that they don't have to post the prices of all food and beverages offered. Oh but the tip! Horrible service and given by the owner. If you don't want to pay a waitress then up your service. Your tip that is taken without an option to give was definitely not earned. Stolen tips, prices not listed, and no free refills ?I will never return!!!!
