Cooking with Happy: Not Your Average Joe's | Restaurants

Rick Card owner of Joe’s Grill and Cantina in Ft. Smith, Arkansas is an ace at cooking up the best Tex-Mex in the River Valley. You may be new to the Joe’s name but chances are you’ve savored the flavor of his cooking before.  Joe’s Grill, formerly named Cuco’s and located in the old Phoenix Village Mall has been refining Tex-Mex cuisine since 1986.  Since Card’s restaurant debut in the 80’s with the Cuco’s franchise, he has relocated, dropped the Cuco’s name and now just calls the place Joe’s Grill and Cantina.

The restaurant’s convenient location across from Harp’s on 74th Street, between Phoenix and Rogers is easy to get in and out of if you are visiting someone at Mercy, shopping at Sam’s Club or Lowe’s.  Joe’s is perfect for a midday lunch or afternoon dinner if your back to school shopping and have the whole brood with you.

Joe’s friendly atmosphere is no doubt an extension of Card’s congenial and laid back personality. He relays that amiable generosity with specials like 'Taco Tuesday’, which features $1.00 Tacos, and every Monday he pick’s a winner from the business card bowl, for a free lunch.
