We live in another state and aren't in the area often but when we are we go out of our way to go eat here. Amazing food and wonderful staff. A wonderful dining experience every time.

Just got into For Smith around 9. Needed something to eat for the night. Checked into my hotel, then went straight to them. It was empty and they were in the process of cleaning and getting ready to call it a night. However, they made it seem like it was good. Their service was great. No attitude for coming in close to closing time. I had the Poblano Chicken, and it was great. Chicken wasn't dry. Was full of flavor. The onions were fried to a nice crunch and the peppers were great. The Modelo with the mineral water hit the spot. Highly recommend.

What a gem! Four of us stopped by El Celaya for dinner last week and couldn't have been more pleased. I must recommend the homemade guacamole -- outstanding -- and Jose's Special. Service was friendly and helpful.

Very delicious!!!! I had the Lunch #5, 2 chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce and rice and beans. It's a very easy and basic dish that determines whether or not I will return. Well, I will be returning to try the rest of the menu! Everything was very flavorful. The star of the show, though, was absolutely the salsa!!!! The salsa had a very welcoming smokey Chipotle flavor as well and had the right amount of spice that makes you crave more. And then minimal amount of cilantro was perfect!!!!! See you all again soon!!!

Food is flavorful and delicious!! We had the cheese dip and salsa - tons of flavor!! Ordered their milanesa - it honestly was the best we have had. We love to eat here when we are in Roland. The horchata is perfect!!

The first water we had was a little aggressive BUT the other servers were kind and attentive. The food was SO good I couldn't stop eating the chips and salsa. The food came out super quick too.
