Casa Mariachi has opened in West Little Rock’s Westchase Plaza, bringing breakfast, lunch and dinner service to the former Slim Chickens location. The restaurant opened Monday, according to The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
The restaurant is at Suite 1A, 301 N. Shackleford Road, just north of West Markham Street. Tamalcali is across a driveway in the same shopping center, according to The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
Casa Mariachi is open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Its menu covers breakfast and brunch as well as soups, entrees and seafood, according to the newspaper’s report.
Still Getting Set Up Online
For now, Casa Mariachi is keeping a low digital profile. The restaurant does not yet have a website and is not giving out a phone number, though it does maintain a Facebook page, the report states. That leaves walk-ins and the restaurant's social presence as the main ways curious diners can check in before visiting.
Local land-use and food-safety records
The City of Little Rock’s land-use plan identifies a commercial area along Markham Street west of Shackleford Road, extending along Huron Lane. That plan-level description provides broader neighborhood context; it does not establish the zoning or parcel-use designation for Westchase Plaza at 301 N. Shackleford Road. The City of Little Rock is the source for the plan. The Arkansas Department of Health provides a Food Protection Inspection Portal with inspection reports and an establishment feedback form. The portal is a place to check for food-establishment information, but the materials cited here do not confirm a Casa Mariachi-specific inspection record.
The opening gives West Little Rock diners another dining option in a plaza that is also home to Tamalcali.
