Chepe's Mexican Grill - Benton

The restaurant is very clean, the service was excellent, and the food was well-seasoned. However, the steak fajita meat was a bit dry, likely because it had been reheated. Additionally, the fries on the kids' menu could have been cooked a bit longer.

**Vegetarian options:** They have a vegetarian fajita option that is absolutely delicious!

I debated writing this review because I love the food and never got experience like today but some of it didn't sit right with me. We sat at our table for around 30 minutes and instead of getting our drinks or any appetizer for a family of 4 the waiters and waitresses just walked by and looked at us like a museum exhibit without informing anyone. On top of that we were sat in the section where the ac didn't seem to work so it was getting hot and we didn't have any water. I admit it was a busy day but we watched the restaurant almost clear out and still no one came. It seemed like another table in our section was also getting the same treatment but they at least had water and eventually food came. The final thing is that two separate parties with white customers were attended right away and got drinks and appetizers in just minutes. I won't say it was racism, but as someone who doesn't notice things like that, it was very noticeable today. The only reason I'm fully going down to 1 star is because a waitress (Abigail) stepped up and attended us and I'm certain we were not even close to her section. Also the food was still good and came out fast thanks to Abigail. Thanks to Abigail!

The Mexican food was typical and nothing special. However, our server was fantastic, even though the restaurant was understaffed. There was also a live performance that was very loud.

Food was really good. The Ranchero chuaua was really good. They have good service but when we first showed up we waited 20 mins before drink order after that they where fast.
