What is this color?  It doesn't even taste like a Margarita.
Dennis E.

I am blown away that the lobby to this place was full and willing to wait 30 minutes for terrible food and drinks. This place was horrible from the second we walked in. Chips were stale and salsa was basically Mexican catsup. We were later informed of the "salsa bar" and it wasn't very clean so we skipped it. A Margarita can make or break a restaurant. This "margarita" broke it. As a former bartender I am saddened that I was unable to identify the ingredients in this concoction. It was neon green for starters and tasted like crystal light. Then came the food. I'm pretty sure it was reheated from a previous day. Dry! 100% will never step foot in this place again. There must be something in the water in this town that kills tastes buds. Because I can't believe anyone would voluntarily come here more than once.

My second time coming to this restaurant. Beside going to El Michoacán on the other side of town. We've had excellent service both times. Beverages and food came in a timely manner, about 10 minutes. Refilled chips and drinks when needed. Friendly staff, a lady from the staff came to another table and shut down a fight that was about to happen in a professional matter. Our server was a Filipino man and he was the just the greatest. Husband and daughter enjoyed his company.

Great staff. Great food. Great environment. Only downside is weekends are super busy so call-ins and even dining in gets delayed.

Arrive hungry. My family and I have come from greater…read moreCharlotte area, the coast of SC, and western NC have gathered at Ole's tables a few times over the years, and I am glad I can share my opinion. There are many lovely options in the Black Mountain area for good meals. The comfort of tasty Latin American food draws us back! The food is so good, and the staff have always been quick to serve and relaxed/friendly. But my favorite experience is to sit outside at a table by the creek, sharing spicy food, a cold beer, and loving conversation with the natural water feature. Olé!!

This town and the adjoining town of Swannanoa was hit terribly by the hurricane in Sept 2024. They are really trying to get some tourist to come back . They need it. When you get off the exit go left and check out the adorable little town. Lots of boutiques and from what I can tell. This town has lots of little art stores and shops and really nice people. Come dinner time, we found this place. The menu was large and the staff very accommodating. The food was delicious. My husband and I have zero complaints about our food or experience. This was the first place I've ever been that served warm bean dip with your chips. It was delicious. I can't wait to go back. Go visit Black Mountain and show support by shopping and eating there. Take a drive up the mountain too. I'm already planning big to go back !

Great Road Trip Stop on the Way Back to Charlotte…read more After an epic day exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains, I found myself rolling through Shelby on the scenic route back to Charlotte. Traffic through town was moving slower than expected thanks to the endless stoplights, but in this case, it worked out in my favor because Papa's & Beer appeared on my right just as my stomach started demanding attention. The restaurant itself is bright, colorful, and festive. The dining room is filled with vibrant Mexican décor, colorful tile accents, booths and tables, and plenty of personality. They had a FIFA soccer match on the TVs, which was fun to watch while I ate. The volume was low, captions were on, and it added energy to the room without becoming distracting. One thing worth mentioning: it was pretty warm inside during my visit. There were fans running throughout the restaurant, but the air conditioning seemed to be struggling. It wasn't unbearable, but on a hot North Carolina afternoon, a cooler dining room would have made the experience more comfortable. The menu is huge. Tacos, quesadillas, seafood, combination plates, house specialties--you could visit several times and still have plenty left to try. I settled on the Carne Asada Combination, which came with grilled steak, Mexican rice, refried beans, salad, and a cheese enchilada. Before my meal arrived, my server brought complimentary chips and a warm bean dip that was downright addictive. One of the highlights was discovering their salsa bar. Nobody mentioned it to me, but curiosity paid off when I saw other guests gathered around it. The selection was excellent, with everything from tomatillo salsa and creamy sauces to chile de árbol varieties that brought some serious heat. As someone who loves spicy food, I was in heaven. My only criticism was that the salsa bar temperature seemed off. One container had a large chunk of ice floating in it, and a few of the salsas were colder than they should have been, which diluted the flavor a bit. The entrée arrived quickly. Portions were generous, and there was no way I was finishing it all after attacking the chips, bean dip, and salsa bar. The standout was the cheese enchilada. Loaded with melted cheese and packed with flavor, it was easily my favorite part of the plate. The carne asada was also generously portioned and cooked well. The rice was the weakest link for me. It needed seasoning and lacked the rich tomato flavor I expect from Mexican rice. The salad was also overdressed, although mixing some of it with the rice actually improved both. One small annoyance: I requested a side of white onions and later discovered there was a $1.50 charge. Not the end of the world, but I would have appreciated a heads-up before it was added to the bill. Service was friendly and efficient throughout, and when I left with a very full takeout box, the cashier happily provided a bag for the road. If you're passing through Shelby, stuck in traffic, or heading back from the mountains, this is a solid place to pull over, grab a cold beer, enjoy some chips and salsa, and recharge before the drive home. Life is too short to eat mediocre food. Keep exploring and find the places that surprise you.

Absolutely wonderful food , margaritas were perfect, service was outstanding! Give them a try !read more
