Nestled in Van Buren, La Huerta at 1923 Main St offers a vibrant menu that brings authentic Mexican flavors to the table. From sizzling fajitas to cheesy enchiladas, each dish delivers a punch of bold seasoning and fresh ingredients.
One of the highlights is the Fajitas Texanas, a sizzling platter of grilled steak, chicken, and shrimp served with sautéed bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes. The meat is perfectly seared, and the aroma alone is enough to make any mouth water. Another must-try is the Chimichanga, a deep-fried flour tortilla stuffed with shredded beef or chicken, then smothered in queso sauce. The crispiness of the tortilla pairs beautifully with the creamy cheese, making every bite indulgent.
For those who prefer classic Mexican comfort food, the Enchiladas Verdes are a standout. These soft corn tortillas are filled with shredded chicken and topped with tangy green sauce and melted cheese, offering a balanced mix of zest and savoriness. The Chile Relleno, a battered and fried poblano pepper stuffed with cheese, is another favorite—its smoky heat complemented by a rich tomato sauce.
Seafood lovers will appreciate the Camarones a la Diabla, a fiery dish of shrimp cooked in a spicy red sauce, delivering a slow-building heat that lingers pleasantly. Meanwhile, the Mojarra Frita, a whole deep-fried tilapia, is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and served with rice, beans, and fresh avocado slices.
No visit is complete without trying the Carne Asada, a perfectly grilled steak served with rice, beans, guacamole, and warm tortillas. The meat is juicy and flavorful, enhanced by a squeeze of lime and a side of pico de gallo. The Tacos al Pastor, made with marinated pork, pineapple, onions, and cilantro, offer a perfect blend of sweetness and spice, making them a crowd favorite.
To round out the meal, the Flan provides a creamy, caramel-infused finish that melts in the mouth, while the Sopapillas, drizzled with honey and cinnamon sugar, add a sweet, crispy touch. Each dish at La Huerta is crafted with care, bringing the vibrant essence of Mexican cuisine to Arkansas.
