Smokin' Fajitas
2026
Casa Brava, Paragould, Arkansas
Casa Brava on West Kings Highway in Paragould, up in the northeast corner of Arkansas. The fajitas here come out on a skillet buried under jalapenos, and when that hits the table the peppers throw off enough capsaicin smoke to fog the room. Video of one table taking the full cloud went around in July 2026, with a family coughing and laughing through air you cannot see across and the other diners turning around to look while the food keeps sizzling underneath. Anyone who has stood too close to a hot pan of chillies knows exactly what that air feels like.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
