This truly is a nice spot for some good Mexican food. You won’t go wrong coming here. The atmosphere is welcoming and towards the inside of the restaurant, there are windows overlooking the city. We came here for lunch and the lunch specials were fairly priced and very good portions. That was one of the main reasons of coming here as I just needed something quick, not expensive, and enough to fill me up. The food itself tasted amazing and full of flavor. We ordered the Lunch Special number 2 which was a beef filled burrito with rice and beans and the lunch steak fajitas. I can’t speak for their dinner time but lunch was exactly what I needed.

The entire staff is wonderful and so friendly!! The margaritas are super awesome! Had to visit the restaurant at least two times on vacation cause they were just so good! Thank you for a great experience!! Hope to see you again in future! 🙂

What a great find in downtown Asheville! Servers were extremely accommodating and attentive. The food was outstanding! Ordered the chimichanga with beans and rice. The beans were presented in a small fried tortilla shell which was unique in itself! Dinner was started off with chips and salsa, and the salsa was very finely processed and super good! Restaurant has a very nice atmosphere that serves authentic Mexican food. You won't be disappointed!

I didn’t know this restaurant was open!, i was waiting for my things in the store beside and noticed so decided to pass by. The fish tacos are amazing tbh the best fish tacos in town! But the cantarito was the best thing🤤. I will definitely be back on every chance i get, definitely my favorite place here in downtown.

We for drinks with friends and got the queso dip, we asked to add jalapeños, which turned out great! Chips and salsa were both good and the margaritas were popping! We got the margarita flight and one regular margarita! The margarita flight sizes were very generous and the variety of flavors were great! The drinks were strong and the flight was great for sharing for the size! Service was good and it was a nice atmosphere!
