Tacos 4 Life Now Open in Conway
One taco at at time, Tacos 4 Life in Conway is working to end childhood hunger. The Tex-Mex restaurant is the newest concept from Austin and Ashton Samuelson, owners of Pitza 42 in Conway, and follows the same basic principle: for every meal sold, a meal is donated to a hungry child.
In fact, for their second restaurant, they've upped the ante and promise that for every taco sold, a meal will be donated. This means that, depending on your menu choice, you can possibly feed three meals to a child in need with just one purchase. After opening day on June 9, the restaurant reported a meal count of 1,101 meals donated.
Families won't be disappointed by the reasonably-priced menu, either. A large meal of three tacos and two sides will set you back $8-$13. Choose between 17 taco variations, from classics like carnitas and fish tacos to adventurous flavor combinations like shrimp and pineapple (Ono Shrimp) and steak with Korean barbeque and house-made "yum-yum" sauce (The Counselor).
Other menu items include rice bowls, quesadillas, burritos and nachos. Kid's meals -- beef tacos, cheese quesadillas, bean and cheese burritos -- come with chips, queso and a drink and average $5. Last but definitely not least, save room for dessert: Mom's Chocolate Chip Cake, sopapillas and churros.
Tacos 4 Life is located at 716 Oak St. in Conway. For more info, visit the Facebook page here. Little Rock Family visited for the restaurant's soft opening last week. Here's a peek into the fun space!
