Bentonville Taco & Tamale

4.5. It's a 5 if I want to lick the plate ;). This was quite tasty. I LOVED the dip sampler - house salsa, tomato marmalade and hatch Chile. Great combo! Tamales were quite tasty as well. I liked that the filling and masa were balanced and the masa was both tender and seasoned. The pulled pork nachos were crispy and plenty for two. The toppings were okay, but the salsa from the dip sampler really made them good. Yummy frozen Hurricane was on special (in lieu of the usual piña colada) for Mardi Gras. We would come here again. E intends to order his Christmas tamales here! Check it out!

We ended up at Bentonville Taco & Tamale on a whim tonight. The place was buzzing for a Sunday evening with linty if groups in the dining room but we were seated right away. The dining room is always so inviting and tonight was no different. Our server was with us pretty quickly. He was very knowledgeable and helpful with questions. Of course we started with an order of queso and added a trio of salsas. These hit perfectly and just set the tone for the night. We ordered our entries which came out warm and perfectly prepared. I got the chicken & poblano enchilada with the pinto beans and tomat & cucumber salad as sides. The enchilada was ridiculously good! It may be the best thing I've ordered here. The sides complemented the enchiladas and chips well.My daughter got the beef Ark-Mex enchilada with the red chili sauce. She says it was "pretty good" which is high praise from a teen ;)

When I eat tacos I do prefer traditional tacos. This was very much NOT that. The tacos that we had were good, but not what I was expecting from a place with "Taco & Tamale" in its name.The vibes of this place were a little confusing to me - to me it felt like a lot of different people were putting together their own version of a pinterest tex-mex-taqueria and bar.The service was excellent - incredibly friendly, very attentive, and quick to make sure we had everything we needed. The food and drinks were good, but not memorable. I don't feel like I ever have to come back here.

Service was great! The dips were all very good according to GF. I don't eat salsa. The nachos were tasty. Nachos were enough for two. The tamales were very good. I think I'll order some when Christmas comes around. Would definitely come back. It's a very nice place to hang with friends.

Still 12/10. Always an amazing experience here. Food and drinks are both delicious. Bartender Ashley makes a great spicy margarita.

Amazing frozen cocktails and cheese dip. We didn't love the salsa or the tacos, but that's mainly because we don't enjoy Tex Mex as much as traditional Mexican food. It just didn't have enough flavor or spice. Service was amazing, and we loved the environment and ambience. We will definitely return for drinks and apps, and maybe try a different entree next time.

I will continue to hype this restaurant. This is our favorite stop in bentonville. And this time I will add a photo.

In town visiting and after doing a lap around the square, we decided on Bentonville Taco & Tamale for dinner. It did not disappoint! Loved the vibe of the restaurant. The servers and hostesses had smiles on their faces. We were seated quickly on a Friday evening at 5. We ordered the 3 salsa app and got the house red, green chili, and the jalapeño onion. All were delicious! I ordered the fish fry tacos and the best part was the sweetness of the green tomatoes offsetting the flavors of the fried catfish and sauce. I would definitely order this again. My friend got the verde enchiladas. She gave them a 4/5. Delicious but the topping was a creamy white cheese vs. expecting a green verde sauce mix. The menu isn't wrong when it lists the sauce. Just cheesier than expected. Overall, definitely worth checking out whether your local or visiting.

We checked out Bentonville Taco & Tamale while visiting friends that moved to the area. We had a fantastic dining experience! The restaurant is clean, vibrant, and modern with friendly, energetic staff. We started with the salsa trio served with house chips (your choice of salsa from the variety available). We tried both of the house tamales: pork & beef tamales with a red chili broth and the sweet potato tamales with a tomatillo-like broth. The rice and pinto beans tasted perfect with the tamales! If you are visiting Bentonville, make sure to check out this restaurant and let me know what you think!

Modern upscale vibe to a taco joint. Great beer selection and the pickled chicken tacos are a must. Food was delish. Server was awesome and the vibe is fresh and bright. Everything that came to the table looked amazing. Highly recommend this place.
