" I took my family here for a Saturday lunch, and we all left feeling incredibly content! The tamales were savory and nicely portioned; everyone enjoyed their meals. I really appreciated Nelly's personal touch; she came out to chat with us, which enriched the experience. If you appreciate authentic Salvadoran food, I urge you to visit. It's a small hidden gem that truly deserves recognition. The authentic vibe makes you feel like family. " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered Nelly's recently, and I can't rave enough about her food! The pupusas are simply fantastic, filled with flavor and cooked to perfection. Each bite takes you straight to El Salvador. Nelly herself is a delight, making the experience even more enjoyable. This has quickly become one of my must-visit places on weekends. Be prepared to indulge in some of the best homemade tamales you've ever tasted! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nelly’s food is more than just a meal; it feels like a cultural experience! I dropped by for a quick lunch and ordered some tamales and a couple of pupusas. The flavors were incredibly rich and authentic. I particularly enjoyed the spicy sauce paired with the tamales—pure perfection! The atmosphere is relaxed but welcoming. I spoke with Nelly briefly, and her joy for cooking clearly shines through. Very affordable for what you get. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting Nelly's at least once! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have visited multiple times and each experience has been just as delightful as the last. The tamales bring back memories of my abuela's cooking. Nelly has a special way of making each dish filled with love. Her kind demeanor transforms any mundane lunch into something special. I often order the cheese and jalapeño tamales alongside the pupusas, and each time they do not disappoint. You won't find better tamales in the region; the authenticity really stands out. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for authentic and delicious Salvadoran cuisine in NWA, look no further than Nelly’s! The tamales are incredibly moist and flavorful, unlike any I've had elsewhere. I also had a ceviche, which was refreshing and fresh. The only downside is that they only take cash, so be prepared. However, this little gem is definitely worth the trip every time! " (*Curated Review*)

The service was also impeccable; Nelly truly makes you feel like part of her family as she greets every customer with warmth. It's a small cozy setup, and the food is worth every penny. Don't miss out on her homemade sauces—they're the perfect addition to her delicious dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wandered into Nelly's on a whim and was completely amazed at the flavors! The pupusas were filled with fresh ingredients and were so delicious. Nelly greeted us with a big smile and made sure we were happy with our meal. I highly recommend the jalapeño cheese tamales; they were simply the best! I’ll definitely be coming back for more!
