My husband and I visited Rolado's for lunch while on a recent trip to Hot Springs, AR. As I looked through the menu, I became a little nervous. I am not really one who likes spicy food, but the waitress worked with me to find something that I could handle. She explained to me that the cooks were really great... more

Stopped in for lunch because it was the first restaurant we passed that said 'Patio Open'. The patio was a beautiful deck set into the woods, so you were back from the street and could barely hear the sounds from the road. It felt like a little oasis. The service was solid and friendly, though a bit slow as the... more

Although a little pricey, Rolando's provides a very nice change from the standard Mexican fare. Although the menu appears to be the typical Quesadillas, Burritos and Enchiladas, the flavor that you encounter are quite unexpected! The presentation was great but what blew us away was the spice and zest of the food! I recommend the Tamales as they were by... more

Have been to this restaurant and the one in Fort Smith many times and always have a great experience. The food is fabulous. Try the Cuban Pork Plate and the guac. Both are wonderful. Wish he would add a restaurant in Little Rock. more

My family and I ate here on a Friday evening. The food is great, slightly different than your normal Mexican or Tex Mex, but we loved it! Also the Margarita's are quite tasty!! We had a group of 8 and had made reservations, arrived on time for them but still had a slight wait for a table. Overall the experience... more

My fiancé and I wen to Rolando's to have dinner tonight and it was to say the least horrible! We ordered queso that came out flaming, which was kind of cool at first and then we tried it. It was like a big glob of cheese that wasn't even fully melted and it had a sour taste to it. The... more

Fantastic food and a fun festive atmosphere: Rolando's is an experience like none other in Hot Springs. The decor is so cheerful - so colorful and exotic and different, just like the menu. A frozen top shelf margarita tastes great while you much on chips and a wonderful black bean and corn salsa. I will note that the food here... more

Amid all the mediocre to outright awful eateries in Hot Springs, Rolando's definitely stands out. The appropriate decor of this Ecuadorian restaurant a couple of blocks up from Bathhouse Row and the service are delightful. My extremely tasteful lunch of roast pork, black beans, rice, cucumbers, bell peppers, red onions, and scallions was, by far, the best meal I had... more

We had read so much about this restaurant that we just had to try it. We hardly got seated in our chairs and our jackets off when the waitress asked what we wanted to drink. Just water for now, let us look at the menu. Within seconds of that, she came back and asked if we were ready to order.... more
