Juanita's Cafe and Bar, Little Rock

The menu at Juanita's says the place is known for its fajitas, hot flour tortillas that are served with sizzling piles of shrimp, mushrooms, marinated chicken, or Angus skirt steak. But one look around the place tells visitors that Juanita's is clearly famous for more than that: they have an onsite music venue equipped with professional sound and lights, which hosts an eclectic lineup of artists.

Before shows, guests can settle in early to practice their cheers of "Encore!" and enjoy a meal from Juanita's Mexican-inspired menu. Starters include deep-fried mini burritos and nachos piled with jalapeños, black beans, and the aforementioned fajita meats. Entrees include seven enchilada plates and Juanita's chile relleno, a poblano pepper filled with chicken and cinnamon that's deep-fried with an egg-white coating.
