Stopped by on a road trip and was pleasantly surprised. They have a huge selection of food not just Mexican cuisine, including pizza and burgers. I had a hamburger and it was better than most burger shops I've been to lately. Spouse had street tacos and said they were the best they had ever had. Definitely give them a try!

The Crazy Donkey is a crazy-good restaurant! Conveniently located in Palestine, Arkansas...it's just off the beaten path between Memphis and Little Rock Its location lends itself to late lunches and a crazy experience. This place is a Mexican-American-Italian fusion of cuisines! Excellent service. Endless chips and salsa. Competent staff to serve the table for two or the party of 20, with grace and poise. They got the special orders right where the beans and rice could not touch one another. Frequent guest of the Crazy Donkey and a forever-fan!!

Great little place, not far off the interstate. Service was excellent, food was delicious, prices very reasonable. Street tacos - 2 al pastor and 2 pollo. Veggie fajitas - grilled veggies were flavorful and came to the table sizzling. Would definitely venture off the highway again for another meal.

On Friday December 5th, I called and informed the staff of our arrival with a party of 25 in 10 minutes. The staff made it happen! We had a section waiting for us at arrival with silverware and menus on the table. We ordered everything from steaks to burgers and tacos. All of the food was hot, delicious, served quickly and with a smile. We felt so welcomed. To the staff... Thank you all for helping make our day a little better after laying our matriarch to rest after 101 years. We appreciated the fast service, the attentiveness, and other staff rushing in to help get our food out quickly. Thank you for the limes. They went well with our cold Modelo's. You all are AMAZING!!!
