TaMolly's of Jonesboro — Restaurant in Jonesboro

TL;DR: It's a simpler mexican cuisine that lacks a lot of the heat and spice of others.

We stopped in for lunch and regretted it. The food is not "bad" but compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area. The salsa is very simple (served with thick chips), and the food targets a simpler palette.

I had the Enchilada Dinner with chicken/queso and rice instead of beans. It comes with pickled jalapeños. While bland overall it reminded me a lot of taquitos.

My wife had the Chicken Quesadilla. She didn't care for it. It reminded us a lot of BBQ chicken. My only explanation for this is that some of the milder spices used in Mexican cuisine might taste like this if you remove the peppers that add heat.

You get the idea.

But the circumstance is that my youngest is a celiac and this may be the most gluten friendly place in Jonesboro. The staff is superb and their attention to detail and knowledge of the do's and don'ts is second to none. So, food: 3.5, Service: 5, Gluten Conscious:...

Decided to visit this establishment after reading several reviews in a FB group. We went during lunch and it was not even at 30% capacity. Our waiter was not attentive at all and rushed the entire process. We did not get refills. We were not “checked on” unless we waved him down to inquire about something regarding the food. The “ground beef” was sweet 🤮. The fajita meat was dried out. Refried beans with cheddar cheese was different and not desirable. We ordered queso that never came, even after a reminder. The 3 stars are for the margaritas. I...
