Known for generous portions and reasonable prices, Taco Villa has been delighting locals and visitors for over five decades, creating a loyal following who swear by its mouthwatering offerings.

The menu reads like a love letter to classic Mexican cuisine, with standout dishes such as hearty Meat & Cheese Enchiladas, a Burrito Supreme that brims with savory goodness, and the unforgettable Chips and Dip featuring their famous, creamy Cheese Dip.

    Most people that have lived in Russellville for very long and eat Mexican food out love Taco Villa. Reasonably priced, lots of food for the price. ONE BIG NOTE: They do NOT take debit cards. Make sure you have cash or check before you go. It's worth the stop at the bank for cash though.

    This place is a one of a kind Ark-Mex family owned and friendly place. I've been eating here since I was real young living in Russellville, Arkansas. I've moved away but always make sure to go and eat there delicious food. It's so addicting. The homemade hot sauce, I always buy a bottle to take back home to Texas.

    This place has been there at least 50 years, and it's a big middle finger to corporate fast food. They don't take credit cards. The owners are in charge of their place, not the banks. That must feel good to be in charge of your own destiny like that. It's good to see places like this thriving. Everything is bigger and better than Taco He||, and where can you find frito chili pie anymore? This isn't Texmex. This is Arkmex at its finest. Support small business.

    I love Taco Villa the food is always good and the people are generally friendly. The only complaint for me is they don't take cards and I hardly carry cash if they took cards I would definitely go more often.

    I was skeptical when we arrived. We ordered a Toco plate, and the wife had 3 tacos. My tacos were great little heavy on the lettuce, but equal meat and cheese. The refried beans were the best I ever had. Not soupy, just right. The salad was ok and was a nice addition to the meal. I used the provided salsa left on the table it had the right amount of heat to it. The best part was the price was very fair, and the whole meal was like under $14, and I had leftovers LOL
