Yeyo's El Alma de Mexico, Bentonville, Arkansas
View Original Description
This flagship restaurant of a family business began when Hector Rios, known as Yeyo, turned a plot of land in northwest Arkansas into a small farm. The farm supplies the food truck that his son Rafael started in 2012, just as it does this restaurant, which opened in 2017 and focuses on the cooking of the Rios family’s native Michoacán. It has evolved to include cuisine from across Mexico, and the restaurant’s food is as good as its back story: mole-draped chicken enmoladas, crisp-edged memelas topped with queso and nopales, housemade tortilla tacos filled with aromatic cochinita pibil, juicy barbacoa and spicy lengua. There’s a burgeoning restaurant scene in this city, best known as the headquarters of Walmart. The Rios family is one reason.
