    Carving Mexican food while in Fort Smith, Arkansas... We were looking for, what I have come to know as Southern American ~ Mexican food. It's a mixture of middle and northern Mexican style cooking with some Southern American influence. It's most certainly not Tex-Mex, nor is it Ecuadorian, not Oaxacan, not Southern Mexico, not Ecuadorian nor Columbian. Southern American Mexican food is know for their Blanco Queso, Blended Salsa's, Chili Relleno's, Yummy Steak Fajitas and their ala-taco-bell-esk beef and mushy brown beans cooked with loads of fat. This particular La Huerta Mexican Restaurant is a very nice restaurant, fairly new and very clean. You can tell it has been other restaurants prior but they have done a nice job with some new paint and decor to make it La Huerta's! There are other La Huerta Restaurants in the Fort Smith area, but this is their newest location. I believe they are all owned by the same family. They offer a huge menu of the traditional Southern American ~ Mexican dishes with a few unique options at very reasonable prices. Ok ~ it's tasty food really cheap! We started off with a huge bowl of their tasty Queso Blanco cheese dip. Mixture of monterey jack cheese, cream, and green chilies. This is the tastiest cheese dip and you can only find it in Mexican restaurants throughout the South... We also had some very tasty Chips and Guacamole. We ordered their "Special Dinner" ~ chalupa, taco, chile relleno, tamale, enchilada, sides of sour cream, salsa, jalapenos, rice and beans. They had to bring it out on two plates all for $8.99! Sure it's cheap but it was tasty too! The chili relleno is the star of this dish. It had a light breading, plenty of cheesy goodness inside with a very good sauce on top. The tamale was the only disappointment here, but then again I've never had good tamales at any Mexican restaurant in the South. Tamale's are much better in the Mid-West and West coast. The taco salad is good with your choices of protein, chicken, steak or taco-bell-type of beef added to the salad. The Steak, Chicken and Shrimp Fajita's were outstanding ~ flavorful and huge in portions. If you're in Fort Smith and looking for some really tasty Southern Mexican food, give La Huerta Mexican Restaurant a try. You won't be disappointed!

    Okay...not sterling, but not awful either. Staff is nice, food was decent and beer was semi-cold. I seated myself at the bar (since I was flying solo). Bar tender is nice, but other staff members continue to slam menus on the bar to my left. Are they pissed at me? Well, all except for the cute hostess who is fanning me while adding inserts to the menus - aaaaaah!!! Chips and salsa are okay - again, nothing out of the ordinary. I am noticing the cilantro in the salsa, which is nice. My main course was the Guadalajara, a combination of a chicken burrito and a chicken enchilada covered in a red sauce, sour cream, guacamole and pico del gallo. It was a generous portion and the food was quite tasty! I was tossing this back with a Corona Familiar. Again, my beer was good; but, it is a large, bottled beer, so it could and should have been colder. Bottom line, worth the visit. But, I think this restaurant has much potential to be more specialty and less "chain" in it's mentality...if it dares to try to step it up.

    Completely forgettable. I was in Fort Smith on Cinco de Mayo and looking for a good Mexican Restaurant. Read the reviews for La Huerta and was hopeful. Once again, Arkansas fails to deliver good food. I ordered the Enchiladas de Mexicana. It came with one beef, one chicken, and one cheese enchilada with sides of rice and refried beans. The word bland is way too kind to describe the food here. In fact, I've had much better Mexican food from a taco truck in California. I'm not in California but rather Arkansas so maybe this is what is considered good Mexican food. If I'm very back in Fort Smith and want Mexican food, I will not come here. Avoid this place at all costs. The only difference between La Huerta and Taco Bell is someone takes your order. The only reason La Huerta did not get a single star was for the price. Dinner and a glass of wine was $12.

    This place isnt too shabby. Their food is tasty and is served in a timely manner. The facility is clean and the decor is cool, especially at the bar. Large screen TV is behind bar as well. The one time I saw it soccer was on *shocker* lol Ill be back. I suggest getting their cheese dip. Really adds to any meal. Has its very own pizzaz :D

    La Huerta is a pretty great place for sit down American Mexican food if you're tired of Taco Bell. My favorite place to sit is at the bar; Cartoon Network, and Booze. I've tried their Sophia Special, which comes with 2 quesadillas filled with spinach and cheese, and a side of rice. It was just probably that night, but I didn't think it was as great as their La Huerta Burrito from a prior visit. Their Margaritas are excellent. Just the right amount of kick and tanginess. Their deserts are a must try. The sopapillas with ice cream is oh dam, amazing: Melted butter, honey, ice cream, and whipped cream. Fried ice cream is amazing too: Deep fried tortilla, under a ball of ice cream rolled in crushed cinnamon toast crunch, topped with whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate. Nom nom nom. My meals + desert + margarita is often under $15

    Hot ass plate with melted cheese and beans. Your vanilla tex-mex chain restaurant with nothing exceptional. Good patio and music but if youre looking for authentic mexican or creative cooking this isnt your place. Good margaritas beer and greasy food is has in abundance.

    I'm really impressed with this place. I came in with a group of 25 people. We called ahead but it was relatively last minute. They took our drink orders as we walked in the door, brought out chips and salsa with record timing, got all our food orders correct. I'm just really impressed with their ability to handle such a large group so well on short notice. Several places can't even do that even when they are given more of a heads up. The cheese dip is also deeelicious and a little more unique than what I've experienced at other Mexican restaurants. All that being said, I ordered the fajita burrito, which I wouldn't recommend. Well it was good, but it wasn't what I expected. I pretty much expected fajita contents in a burrito.. and it wasn't that. It was pretty much a chicken burrito. Oh well.

    News flash - Mexican restaurant in small town Arkansas serves bland versions of mexican dishes!! Alert!! Well, duh..I have come across this phenomenon at the mexi places here in Florida as well. The restaurant really has no choice in this matter, since the bulk of the customers demand bland. However, the key to upgrading is in your hand. Most places, La Huerta included, keep a special batch of "extra hot" salsa in the back, normally only available on request. La Huerta's secret stash is killer! I blended it with some of the house salsa and created a custom seasoning which can then be applied liberally to the food. Result: Kickass. The chips come to your table hot and fresh, always a plus. The chimichanga I had contained perfectly cooked chicken. The rice and beans were passable, but everything was made amazing when the custom salsa blend was added. Service was friendly and fast...I am a fan!

    My first impression of any Mexican food restaurant is always based on the chips and salsa. Their salsa was fantabulous. The chips were warm and thin crisp. I personally don't like the really thick chips. So thank you La Huerta. Our waiter was quick and efficient. He ensured all drinks were full (a must for the hubby) and restocked chips & salsa as needed (a must for me). I ordered a cheese enchilada with rice and beans (my usually at most Mexican Restaurants). The enchilada was average but the rice was excellent. I'm big on rice, so this made the trip worth. Best of all the prices were very cheap. Of course, that's speaking in the context of someone from California that's use to paying more. Excellent choice for the night.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
