We were here late one night after visiting someone in the hospital. The food was good, especially the posole. Unfortunately, I had a very unsavory experience with the management (or owner). On my way back across the restaurant from the ladies room you have to navigate a narrow walkway in the front of the restaurant. A tall and very large man (caucasion, balding) was headed in the opposite direction, taking up the entire corridor and swinging his arms out wide as he walked. I had to stop in my tracks and move completely over to the side to get out of his way. He looked right at me, so I know he saw me. After I got back to my table I watched him in the center of the resturant as he opened a bank bag and talked with several of the waiters & waitresses. I hope he was a just a manager and not the owner because he was very rude.

A friend who lives in Fayetteville suggested we have lunch at La Media Luna, and it was a great recommendation! We both had a pretty standard fare: chicken chimichangas with beans and rice, but he also raved about the sauces the restaurant offers with other entrees. The salsa and chips are excellent. The prices are very reasonable. This was a great discovery!

I eat at Mexican restaurants a lot and this one stands out as one of the best . Great salsa , friendly quick service, great decor and most of all delicious . If this restaurant was in Kansas City ... would be my go to Mexican restaurant . I had chicken chimichanga but pretty sure every dish would be delicious .

Reserved table for ten people. Was given table for six. Waited thirty minutes for drink orders to be taken. Wait staff was rude, just looked and said "well?" as we ordered drinks. Finally able to order food at the 45 minute mark. Almost exactly one hour and forty five minutes later food arrived. Several of the dishes were room temperature or cold to the touch. Two people returned their food and declined any further attempt it was so poor. This was for a birthday party for a close friend. Any attempt at a good time was overshadowed by the horrible service, rude wait staff and poor quality. To be fair, the one meal that was hot, (carnitas) tasted very good. Six of us split it up and attempted to enjoy it.

15 met here to have lunch Saturday and they seated us quickly. Their menu was vast and varied and many options were chosen. Taco salad was good, fajitas were good, chimichanga was average. My quesadilla was not good. Cheese dip and salsa was good. $$$

Finally got to try this place. It's in an old IHOP location, and good riddance to IHOP. The burrito is gi-normous, you won't feel hungry for the rest of the day. There's a "Mother of All Burritos" on the menu... maybe if I haven't eaten for a week or so I'll try that one. I had the carnitas burrito, which was very good. Kinda surprised not to see barbacoa also on the menu -- down in border states, whenever you see carnitas offered, barbacoa's usually an option, as well. But, anyway... a good fresh burrito, and the tacos are wonderful, as well. The queso... frankly, it was too thin for my taste. If you try it, be prepared to clean your shirt afterward, as it's hard to keep on the chips. Staff was very friendly. They serve local beer, as well.

Really good, authentic Mexican food! Iâve eaten at a lot of Mexican places throughout NWA, this one is by far on the top of the list. If I lived any closer, I would frequently visit.
