Rolando's

Some friends of ours raved about this place so we thought we'd give it a try.

We were seated quickly and chips & salsa were brought right out. The salsa is a corn & black bean salsa that's very mild. The chips were of a medium thickness yellow corn. My wife wasn't a fan. I thought it was ok but the salsa wasn't something that would make me want to come back.

The kids ordered enchiladas and quesadillas, my wife tamales, and I ordered Nana's Enchiladas which were chicken sour cream enchiladas. Everyone loved the rice. My wife really enjoyed her food and was wishing we had found this place on our last visit. I thought the food was good but there wasn't anything that would make me crave it.

Service was a little slow. Many at our table were choking food down without anything to drink. We finally had to flag someone down to get a refill.

Overall we enjoyed our meal and I would go back to try other menu items.

Interesting Latin restaurant in Hot Springs on Bathhouse Row. I was sat immediately and brought chips and some delightful, addictive kind of salsa. I should have ordered a drink but opted for water instead. Next time! I ordered these lime shrimp that I forgot the name of but they were really tasty! I do wish the shrimp would have been a little more cooked. Good service and within walking distance to my hotel. Would definitely come back!

This place here! Omg it was so good. The corn and black bean salsa was delicious. I got the Cuban which was so good and mom got the enchiladas recommended by our nice waitress. Finished off with the tres leches (my fav cake ever!) I think it could have been a bit more leche and I wish it came with strawberries, but it was still good.

If the weather permits, do yourself a favor and sit outside in the back. The scenery and feeling of being up in the mountains is the best part about this place. The food is fine, although you should know going in that it won’t be the standard Tex Mex you might expect. The flavors are more tropical than spicy. The plating is lovely - as you can see from the pictures.

One star deduction for two reasons: we didn’t love the margaritas (they seemed like a generic mix, and pretty watered down), and while the plating LOOKS pretty, I believe the flavor of the dishes would have been improved had they added the sauces to the food itself rather than artfully swirled on the very edge of the plate.

10/10 first place we ate in Arkansas, we were recommended by some locals working in the Downtown Hot Springs area and they said go to Rolando’s and make sure to eat outside on the patio! We totally agree! Had an amazing experience. Argentinian food was delicious! Ambience, service, and food were all divine. Go there on your next visit! We will surely be coming back :)
