La Pasadita

So I’ve been searching for the most authentic Mexican place in Little Rock and although I haven’t concluded my search this place does make the top 10

I order their Carne asada a la Diabla , pupusas and their Hawaiian torta, a small cheese dip and a small guacamole and 2 Aguas frescas tamarindo and horchata.

So let’s start with the chips…
Taste store bought and thin like most other places. They also break to easily when scooping up the dips. (To each their own)

The red salsa tastes like it’s made from Chile de árbol which is authentic of course but a bit spicy and has a strong smoky taste to it. (Not for everyone)
Their green salsa is made from tomatillo & jalapeños and maybe some avocado based on the creaminess my favorite was the green

The Aguas frescas are homemade and delicious that’s a plus for me.

The torta was alright my wife said their ham tastes like spam and the pineapple is definitely from a can.

The carne asada a la diabla was good I like the smoked chipotle flavor.
A bit greasy but that’s understandable with the chorizo and grilled onions.

Another plus for me are the homemade corn tortillas. Very delicious.

The beans and rice are just alright I’ve had better, more authentic tasting from other places. (Check out Casa Mañana for the rice and beans. Best I’ve had to this day.)

Their guacamole is fresh another plus

All else aside I want to give My best compliments to the cooks and all the staff at La pasadita. This is a family owned restaurant by good people just trying to make a living.

I stopped by here and tried their asada nachos. They were just ok. They had meat, beans, guac, qeuso and mozzarella but the mozz wasn't melted all the way. Idk, I'll just say I've had better nachos from many other places. The service was pretty good but I'll just post this place on the "meh" list.

Very fresh and fairly priced. The Barbacoa was amazing. The tacos were soooo good!! I tried the chorizo, chicken, and pork tacos and can’t wait to try them all!

I’d been by this place before but it looks so unassuming I’d driven right past it numerous times, but I’m so glad I gave it a try.

My only knock is the service was just ok. But I think it’s because of course of staff shortage, and I will certainly go back again.

I've never been disappointed in 5 years from their spot on cantrell to the food truck to the new location on Rodney Parham. Great food at great prices with a great staff.

I WOULD outright say they're the best tacos in town, but I stopped going to other places once I found them. No need to take a chance on anybody else when Pasadita nails it every time. Just go here and have the sure thing. 👍
