Amazing Chimichanga! I got a shredded chicken one, it was steamy, crunchy, and drenched in cheese. I also LOVE their fried ice-cream! Try it !!😃

The service is great, they are all polite, quick, and don't bother you while you're trying to chill! They come by when your drink needs topped off, you're out of chips, or if they notice you looking at them when they go to and fro. Or if you haven't ordered yet, obv 🙂

Atmosphere is typically chill, dinner-time and event-adjacent days have slightly more chatty customers in 3-6 ppl groups.
Relatively casual, no one would blink twice at camo, but the same for date-esque clothes.
I've eaten there both on dates and with friends (dressed differently for each) and was treated the exact same, including by other customers (politely minding their own business).

Update: Recently visited the new location across the street. It's really nice. I tried a couple of different things. I can't remember the name of the one dish that came out on a sizzling fajita skillet and has all of the fixings on the side, including tortillas. My mom has the fajita chicken salad. She liked the flavor, but it was so juicy that her taco shell started to fall apart. For drinks, you can't go wrong with their sweet tea and lemonade mix!

The loaded baked potato was awesome! It was my first time having it, and I'll definitely order it again. My friend ordered the King Burrito. Everything was tasty. They do serve margaritas here, but unfortunately, they are not flavored margaritas like strawberry or peach.

Love ElPuentes, Ranchero. I get it with steak and chicken mix with extra cheese and it is soooooo good. The amount i get is enough for 2 meals. I eat half and take the other half home for supper. Best mexican restaurant in northeast arkansas by far

We arrived at a busy time but our food came out quickly. Service was great and food was delicious. We shared fajitas for one and had more than enough.

This is a restaurant I have eat at quite often until recently anyway. The food here is really good but ther service sux! When you first get there service is good but once you receive your food, service is horrible and servers don't speak or understand English very well at all which makes ordering and asking for something very difficult.
They also just recently raised all their prices and i think they are almost doubled.
Bottom line is the food is really Good but, make sure you have deep pockets because you will pay a pretty penny for it.

My husband and I showed up to El Puente tonight right before 8 o’clock. We walked in and the guy at the counter said they were closed. We did check the time online before heading there for dinner and it said 9. I politely showed him that google said 9. He said some not so kind words and told us to get out.

We will not be going back to El Puente. My husband and I decided to go to Mi Pueblito instead. It was WAY better than El Puente and much cheaper. I highly recommend you avoid El Puente at all costs and bring your business to the much deserved Mi Pueblito instead!

Every time I'm in town, this is my go-to place. Always great food, fair price and excellent service.
