El Alamo Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Little Rock

I had dinner here recently and it was ok but needs some tweaking. I ordered this dish (forgot the name) that's basically grilled steak strips with veggies over rice and drizzled with queso. A similar dish to what I've tried at many other Mexican places. It had a good flavor but the problem was the thickness of the queso. Other restaurants use a very thin queso for this dish so you taste it but don't really see it. This place is the opposite. It was queso overkill and when I say good flavor I mean the parts not drenched in queso. They should thin that down or use less. I also got 2 asada tacos which were very good. They had plenty of meat but were a bit pricey at 3 bucks a pop. The service was ok but could've been better.

This was my first time ever eating here and we went on a whim. I cannot understate how disappointed I was that this place has been right here and I haven't been!

They really have great products and KNOW how to cook...

El Alamo Mexican Grill is one of my favorite local spots—their street tacos are seriously some of the best around.

I love that they offer 10% off fries on Fridays and 10% off tacos on Taco Tuesday—it’s a nice little bonus on top of already great food. I always look forward to going here whenever I can. The only downside is they don’t stay open later, which makes me a little sad since I work nights and often miss out. Still, it’s worth making the time to stop by. Highly recommend if you’re looking for quality, affordable Mexican food with...
