Today we visited Table Mesa Bistro in Bentonville, AR.
TM is a multi-cultural bistro with a Latin feel.
The menu offers a wide variety of food and drinks that will please even the pickiest of eaters.

Choosing the perfect entree was a hard decision with so many great options available. - But we were definitely up for the challenge.
The Boca Chicken Sandwich sounded delightful. Juicy roasted chicken with bacon on brioche with garlic and herb cheese, agave, mustard sauce and organic greens.
Several salad option were available on the menu including the Mediterranean Salad which was full of fresh greens, artichokes, avacado, grapes, cucumber, feta, kalamata olives. A nice champagne vinaigrette dressing accompanied.
A large "Earth and Ocean" section of the menu held great options including, Salmon, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Chicken and Beef.

Our MENU:

Renae - "ChimiVanga"
A large crispy flour tortilla loaded with chicken ranchero, mixed cheeses and topped with pico de gallo, fresh guacamole and a drizzle of crema. Served with black bean and rice.
I was most pleased with my menu choice.
The ChimVanga was packed with cheesy flavor and the guacamole topping really added an amazing addition. I have always been a fan of the "traditional Mexican Chimichanga" but this loaded tortilla beat them all.
This fully packed chimi had the perfect blend of cheese and chicken - every bite was full of perfect flavor. The black beans and rice that accompanied were a perfect "sidekick" to this entree, each had amazing Latin flavor.


Whitney - Mahi Mahi Fish Taco's
Two corn tortillas filled with grilled Mahi Mahi, dusted with house spices, chipolte mayo, fresh avocado slices, sauteed onions, peppers and pico de gallo. Served with black beans and rice.
These fabulous fish tacos were far from your "Long John Silver" fish taco's.
Each bite was filled with incredible flavorful Mahi Mahi and fresh sliced avocado, the combination of the two flavors was amazing.
The black beans and rice were again the perfect "sidekick" to these perfect taco's.

We give Table Mesa Bistro a THUMB' UP on taste, uniqueness, atmosphere and options available.
However, we give Table Mesa Bistro a THUMB'S DOWN on drinks and overall price.
All carbonated beverages (Coke, Dr. Pepper, ect ) are bottled and there are no free refills. One 16.5oz Dr. Pepper was $2.50.
My visit to TMB which included ( ONE adult entree, 1 soda, 2 kids meals with drinks equaled $32.00, no tip included) Whitney's visit equaled $13.00 which included Fish Taco's and water to drink.
So if budget is your game...start putting a little extra away for this little bistro.

So..will we go back? Yes. The price is steep, but the unique flavor of this bistro seals the deal. Our taste buds will crave this again, and we will listen.
