Aquarius Taqueria

Got the chips and salsa app. The chips taste burnt. Might need to change out the oil.

Some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had — including the plantains which are a must have.
Some of the friendliest people I’ve ever met — probably just a small town Arkansas thing.
One of the coolest patios I’ve ever had a meal at — they have a running spring!

Absolutely DELICIOUS! I mean, WOW! Who would have thought that Eureka Springs would host the BEST TACO SPOT I’ve enjoyed in years.
(seriously. It’s been more than one long and arduous YEAR since I’ve had a really really kickin’ taco like my southwestern hometown. SIGH. Salivating now …)
So, yeah. The tacos are DAMN GOOD. We ordered the asada, the carnitas and the pollo adobo. GET THE POLLO ADOBO. I wish I had ordered 19 284 tacos of the pollo because it was so good! Very flavorful and I love the creamy AVOCADO. Mr. Wonderful really liked the CARNITAS, but it was my least favorite. It tasted JUICY and was GREAT actually but just paled compared to King Adobo. We both really liked the ASADA which is the EPITOME of a street taco. Go for the BLUE CORN tortillas and sing any Pocahontas song you want. It’s that GOOD.
We ordered the aquarius PLATTER so we could share a taste of… well. just about everything. The SALAD was FRESH and acidic and TERRIFIC on it’s own. I could enjoy this on a crisp sunny day. The beans were awesome, too. Why are BEANS so unappreciated these days? Unless your standards hold you to refried beans from a can, you’ll walk away appreciating the salty, tender texture of a SEASONED beans. The rice is perfect. Not overpowering.
The CHIPS were fantastic. and you can tell they really do MAKE THEIR TORTILLAS in house. The guacamole was SO FRESH and the salsa was great. I typically like a chunky salsa rather than a liquidy drip. But wow! The salsa had some TERRIFIC ZIP.
But you know what STOLE THE SHOW on the platter? Truth be told, it was the order of veggies. COWABUNGA! The VEGGIES on special that day were sweet potatoes, black beans and caramelized onions. Stop squirming at the idea. It TASTES AMAZING. Delicious!
Not Tex-​Mex and not Taco Bell, or so they say. Hahaha. I think it’s so interesting they have to explain their street tacos to customers. Which ever way you wish to describe it. It’s GOOD!
Totally worthy of this long review. Aquarius wins the award in my book.

Very fresh and wonderful seasonings. Try the super combo appetizer to taste all 5 salsas, escabeche, and guacamole. Tacos very tasty.

Husband and I stopped in for a late lunch and sat out on the patio next to the waterfall. The outdoor scenery is awesome and great for people watching the passersby on the sidewalk and across the street at the Cathouse Lounge. I would give it 4 stars for their outdoor seating.
We ordered the salsa and guacamole combo as an appetizer. The guacamole needed a little salt and the salsa was very spicy. The chips were very heavy and tasted a bit burnt.
We ordered the fish, steak and chicken tacos. The steak was probably our favorite but we found all three to be too dry. The tacos are only $ 3.50 per taco so it’s cheap but it needs to be more flavorful and less dry.

Very good food, high quality, and original! This is a very good meal. Staff was friendly and its in a great location

We really enjoyed the homemade chips and guacamole here. They serve a corn with mayo and spices that was so good! Had I known the corn was so good I would have just made a meal out of the corn. Our entrees themselves weren’t outstanding, but the appetizers were good. The tortillas were homemade and really added to the dish.

Very fun and delicious place. The kids loved it because of sidewalk chalk out front, crayons at the table etc. The service was great and food was delish and seemed to be the very locally sourced, made from scratch kind of fare that I love. I had one carnita taco and one vegetarian (vegetable offering of the day) taco– so good! My strawberry/​blackberry water was yummy… a little pricey for not including a complimentary refill though. Chips and salsa were very good and homemade. Kids chicken, bean and rice plate was a very good portion and tasty… not dumbed down kid’s food which is a big pet peeve of mine. Wish I would’ve had room for some flan or sweet plantains but we were too full!

So, if there’s a new Mexican restaurant, I have to try it. This one is absolutely wonderful, with the acceptation of their home-​made chips, which, despite good intentions, just don’t make the grade. For that, they fall one short of 5 stars, as everything else there is excellent. Our favorite treat there was the roasted corn, with mayo. and chili powder. Don’t scoff till you’ve tried it; it is a flavor party! Then there are the tacos, on handmade corn tortillas, smothered in meat, avocados, veggies and drizzled with just enough sauce. If you haven’t been here, you need to put it on your «must try» list.

We had been driving all day to get to Eureka Springs for Kansas City and had not stopped to eat lunch. Once we dropped everything off at our cottage we headed to Aquarius. We were so hungry and the food sounded so good that it was hard not to order one of everything. We finally settled on chips and salsa, veggie taco, shrimp taco, elote and a salad. Everything was so good, fresh and light. I also had the frozen house margarita and my daughter had the horchata. Both amazing, homemade and not too sweet.
This place is owned by the same people that own Local Flavor and you can tell by the high quality and freshness of the ingredients.
Bonus that this place is adorable with a cute patio and waterfall. Very sweet.

So we came to this place and we r very disappointed. We seat there for a long time and no one wil come over at list to offer water. So the service sucks really bad. If they can’t handle the clientele hire more people or do something about it.

Really wanted to love it… all gluten free restaurants are hard to find! And the food WAS very good! But…
Mexican restaurant with no Corona?
Service was indifferent and slow.
Portions were pretty small.
Chips and salsa weren’t complimentary — if they’re not free they’d better be amazing… and they were just ok.
My favorite was the carnitas taco. Delicious!
The food would have been at least 4 stars but everything else knocked it back a star.

Maybe the best tacos I’ve ever had in my life! Service and patio were excellent as well. I did have to knock off one star due to the fact that the beer wasn’t cold at all. Server said we weren’t the first to notice, and that the staff alerted management to this, so hopefully they’ll remedy it! I’m wishing I had another carnitas taco as I write this. SO good!

Loved it. Creative and delicious mex. Not loaded with cheese. Best Mexican in eureka.

Great tacos. We had camarones, carnitas and pescado — all great. Chips were a bit overcooked, but okay.

Great location and décor ! Fresh local ingredients in straight forward and tasty fare

Fish taco’s and margaritas were just right. We had great good a great time. Different salsa’s and guacamole. Yummy and fresh. Family of 4 sat on the patio and it was perfect. Adorable décor with stained glass windows in the ladies restroom. Great wait staff. I look forward to our next trip back from Oklahoma.

Friendly staff. Very good service. Terrific in fact.
Beautiful patio and outdoor seating. It is worth coming for that.
Very solid house margaritas. Tasty and fresh.
We were told all is handmade and gluten free.
We started with chips and salsa and guacamole. The chips were thick and seemed a bit on the overcooked side to me. They also needed salt. My girlfriend thought they were great. The guacamole was solid but nothing exceptional. Obviously fresh. The salsa used dried chilis in the salsa. Kinda like the guacamole for me. It was ok. Nothing special. If it was free like lots of Mexican restaurants then no big deal but when paying I want something special.
My girlfriend got the plantain and vegetarian taco. She said the plantain was incredible and one of the best tacos she has had. Loved the tortillas. Said the vegetable was boring and had too much celery.
I got the asada and carnitas. Both of the meats were perfectly cooked. Well done on that front. The asada had a flavor I didn’t particularly care for but not bad. The carnitas were terrific though. I really enjoyed them.
I would definitely come back. The negatives are really nitpicking because I love good Mexican and love Local Flavor.

Cute place. Several interesting taco options, including two vegetarian tacos. Aquarius also offers salads and entrees besides tacos (though, the food is all very similar). I tried the veggie taco and the plantain taco. The veggie was my favorite of the two. The plantain needed something to tone it down a bit– or another flavor to add some competition. I love that they offer roasted jalepenos and pickled red onions as sides. The patio looks nice and has it’s own spring– looks like it will be a wonderful place to spend time during warm weather. I loved all the stained glass inside and the music was awesome!

Fabulous!
Owned by the same people who brought you Local Flavor Restaurant. This quaint little place is a 10 on ambiance and a 9.5 on food!
Service was outstanding and the owner’s husband Britt dropped by to say hello and tell us the story.
Tacos were a 9.5 out of 10 but only because I thought they could use less cumin.
Margaritas were awesome!
