Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Three stars are "A-OK" according to yelp, and that is what this place rates. There are times I'm looking for cheap fast Mexican...ok maybe some cheap beer too. This place works. Not to mention with world cup around the corner, it could be a great spot to watch soccer errr football, uh futbol, I don't know, but I know they have a good sports bar area in back with $2 dos equis. So, yeah, A-OK for a cheap lunch with co-workers or a fun/different atmosphere for some sports viewing. Just don't expect anyone to bring a date here.

God I hate doing this...but this place was not at all good. The location tucked away off of Merrimon in N. Asheville was appealing. And we finally tried it. It is a really really old Mexican restaurant. The menu is appealing but the food is just not. The service was seriously slow...gringo style margaritas that were like cool aid....I tried a flank steak dish and the cut of meat was simply not that...it was grisly...and frankly hard to eat. They attracted me with a description that included goat cheese...none of that on it. And nopalitos...and salsa...all of it was canned that I could have also dumped on a plate and not wanted to eat. Seriously Asheville has some really boring terrible Mexican sit down joints...but INCREDIBLE real authentic taquerias sprouting up...with home cooked REAL mex food. Please drive by this place and try the cheaper...and really authentic Taqueria Fast up on Weaverville Highway. Its real...its not fancy...but its light years better. Also try Taqueria Gonzales on Haywood in the heart of West Asheville. Come on folks...we really really really really wanted to like you...but not.

I felt this was your average little Tex-Mex kind of place. It has a great location but a horribly boring menu. I don't know if it was the time of day that affected my visit or what, but my server took my order with what I thought was almost a hint of disgust, disdain, or just plain boredom. Although the food was quite prompt, fresh, and delightful, I didn't manage to see my server again until she appeared out of thin air with the check... well after I was done. I can't complain about the food but the atmosphere was just boring.

Food is average, but everything is cheap! $1 draft beers! However it's tricky see tips for ordering instructions. The service is usually, but not always, below par. the servers are prompt, but seem like they really don't want to be there. I think this comes from the manager. He has such a bad attitude and smokes right next to the patio while yelling at people over the phone, seriously this happens allot. Also, the kitchen staff loudly complains about the customers in Spanish. Yo intiendo. Most of us took Spanish in high school. All things considered if you need a cheap place to eat and have a beer this is your place, but it could be so much better. The location is great, tucked away and intimate. The price is right, just needs a gut check from whom ever owns this place (hope it's not the mngr in question).

This place was real popular at one time. I don't know how. It's always been average Mexican and the servers are all business, which some people like, but I'm looking for friendly service too. They certainly don't do anything to make you want to come back. The food is typical Mexican food, nothing you order is going to be great.
