What you will see
Mena is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 13:54:03 local time, the Moon hides 61.6% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 12:33:33 and ends at 15:06:30, 2 h 33 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 66° above the horizon, towards the north-west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Mena.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 1,046 km north-east of Mena.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Mukayrās, about 1,052 km north-east, where totality lasts 1 m 09 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
