Social Profile:

There is always a story behind every good taco. The story behind ours goes back to 2010 in Austin, Texas where the mobile food truck scene was alive and thriving. That experience inspired us to bring our inspirations back with us to The Rock. In 2012 we purchased what used to be a filling station, built in 1960, in the heart of Little Rock. The mission was to take that experience and mold it with inspiration from cantinas in Mexico. The designs were carefully selected to bring guests We revamped the entire space and when you enter The Fold you are met with bright colors, vivacious dishes and a staff excited to make your family and friends our family and friends.

Bright & trendy taqueria in a converted gas station, with cocktails & modern takes on Mexican fare.

This place is so fun and retro, has a great vibe and an amazing playlist to relax to and enjoy your food, which is outstanding, I got 3 of their tacos and each one had a one of a kind kick to taste, also the drinks were well mixed and the ratio on point! 10 out of 10 would recommend !

We’ve had up and down experiences with the Fold, and they haven’t had to do with the food, which is generally good. They have more to do with the demeanor of some of the greeting staff and wait staff, which can be less than welcoming.

The whole place has a cool, young, with-it vibe, a kind of I’m so cool that I can’t be bothered with pretending to be friendly and polite vibe. Maybe as an older person, I expect a sort of non-brusque, authentic and human, approach from people with whom I interact in a public setting. And maybe increasingly younger folks are not socialized to see things this way.

What’s good about the Fold, the sometimes iffy reception and lack of politess in employees set to the side, is the food. The salsa roja is top-notch, loaded with cilantro and blessedly free of the sweeteners with which some Tex-Mex places not far from the Fold love to load their salsa.

We had brunch today, and I found my plate of chilaquiles not bad but also not great. There are better chilaquiles to be found locally than these, which are on the dry side. The huevos rancheros my spouse enjoyed were, however, first-rate. We both thought so.

It was a warmish but not hot April day, a breezy one, and sitting outside on the patio was very pleasant. This is another plus of the Fold, the ample outdoor seating at tables not crammed too close together.

FANTASTIC…Overly critical of food places and this one blew me away. Loved every aspect. Josh was legit and so chill. The vibe here was very laid back and fun. The food and drinks were exceptional. The spiced apple margarita and chorizo taco were legit some of the best I have ever had. Go here please. You won’t regret it.

Brad, our waiter, was phenomenal! I have a nut allergy and a mocktail had a nut on it (not in it). He immediately took it back to be remade. Our drinks never reached empty and he was super friendly and helpful. The epitome of great service!

Our recent dinner at The Fold left us thoroughly impressed. The restaurant’s inviting atmosphere struck a balance between trendy and cozy, creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. While the menu leans towards the pricey side, the exceptional quality of the dishes justifies the expense.

The service was impeccable – friendly, attentive staff added to the overall positive experience. The drinks were a highlight, with a diverse selection that complemented the flavors of the dishes. My wife raved about the beef tamales, and my shrimp, catfish, and peach pastor tacos were a delightful fusion of flavors.

The street corn botanas were a standout – a must-try for their unique and delicious blend of tastes. The Fold is not just a culinary gem but also kid-friendly, offering a dedicated menu for the little ones.

The Fold in Little Rock provides a memorable dining experience with its great atmosphere, delicious food, attentive service, and fantastic drinks. Despite the slightly higher prices, the overall quality makes it a worthwhile indulgence. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a satisfying culinary adventure in Little Rock.

I was excited to try this place with all the good reviews but was sorely disappointed. I had the cheese and jalapeño tamales with cilantro rice and black beans, chips and guacamole, and lemonade.
The lemonade was delicious but that was where the flavor stopped.
The guacamole was bland and almost flavorless.
The tamales were very spicy but also without flavor. The rice and black beans were the worst and were absolutely disgusting and tasted like no salt beans straight from the can.
Beautiful restaurant and presentation but they need a new chef

Phenomenal food and service – came for the happy hour and got the chicken nachos and a couple of well crafted margaritas. Followed up with a bison burrito which was probably the best burrito I have had.
Service was attentive without being overbearing
Great spot and wishes we’d come sooner !

We will be back! I normally hate green tomatillo-based salsa, but I think it might have even been better than the red salsa!

Staff were relaxed, helpful, and fast. We had several people help us instead just a single waiter, and that kept our water glasses full and our chips topped off.

We had nothing that wasn’t fantastic. My steak burrito was as good as the staff promised it would be. My wife’s beef tenderloin tamales were just as good. One kiddo tried bison for the first time and really liked its spiciness. My youngest ordered the chicken quesadilla, and it’s smoked chicken made that the best quesadilla I’ve probably ever tasted.

Prices are pretty high. A glass of In-House lemonade is $5. With chips and queso as an appetizer, our four meals, and a shared order of churros, the four of us paid about $110, including me much-deserved 20% tip.

I dont know what I expected regarding the food, but I expected a little more. I know people really like this place but it’s really just ok. The service is outstanding. I can’t debate that at all. But the food was merely ok. Well this is for me anyway. We had roja and Verde salsa, and white queso. My wife loved her queso, but the salsas were not great I’ve had better. The roja salsa was decent with a very slight kick. The Verde had an odd taste to me that I couldn’t take. It seemed to be to much lime or cilantro in it. We did have entrees. I had the 3 fajita steak tacos with a side of rice. The tacos were really good. They seasoned everything in those tacos. The rice was heavy on the lime and cilantro as well. I had to add hot sauce to eat it. My wife really liked her taco salad. The ingredients were fresh and the lime vinegarette was good as well. The only issue was the shell that held the salad was very greasy as if they didn’t let it drain enough. The service was great. Like I always so check it out and let me know what you think.
