Had the portobello empanada
It was delicious... Great service & jennifer the lady that takes your order & money is wonderful

Hands-down the best lunch I have ever had in Hot Springs. Everything was fresh and the service was exceptional. The pecan slaw was really impressive. Don't sleep on the cheesecake, either.

This now my “go to” for cooking utensils and supplies, baking utensils and supplies; and specialty hostess gifts. I always time my visit to eat at their Taco Mamas inside the store. The food is much better than their restaurant on Malvern. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly on both kitchenware and authentic Mexican food.

We have been trying to get in to see this place for over a year. Finally, today we remembered to get in there. First, it's a rather big place. It is jammed full of culinary goodness. I could find the really unique items here that make cooking faster, easier, more efficient. Second, the prices were excellent. The sales staff won't breathe down your neck and yet they're immediately available to answer any questions. The two there today were very nice and we felt comfortable around them. The store is clean, quaint, and clever. There's a lot here to see but I've taken more than a few photos and some videos to share. UPDATE: I went in on Thursday when I'm normally at work. This time the place was packed! Also, Taco Mamas has a satellite diner in here! You could spend an entire afternoon in here. We bought more bowls and some of their delicious bread from the store- we did not yet eat at Taco Mamas but we plan to when we have more time. Additionally, this place has a beautiful courtyard in the back where events are held. You could have a wedding reception there, I believe. It has well established white Jasmine vines as well as some yellow Jessamine vines. It is gorgeous. This place is seriously a Hot Springs gem. I don't believe they have evening hours so you must arrive during the day but make sure you visit!
