A great Mexican meal I had two chicken enchiladas. The corn tortillas were nice and thick they seemed homemade. I recommend getting their hot sauce. We sat outside in a glorious NC evening. The service was excellent. read more

Service was great and friendly! Margaritas amazing! Plenty of specials to make you smile. Playlist is fire!

Fantastic food. Amazing service...Thanks Mannie. Street tacos are delicious. The blood-orange special margarita was refreshing.

The food was really good but we came there last night and that was probably the worst service I've had in a really long time he had the driest humor. Every time we'd say one word he just walked away before we could finish his hair was covering his face the whole time and he didn't seem to remember things we said he tried to keep my friends cents from the cash and when she asked for it he seemed upset worst service I've ever had here! read more

Amazing Experience! I had one of the best Mexican meals I've had in a long time! The food was fresh, full of flavor, and came out quickly. Everything from the salsa to the main dish tasted authentic and homemade. Our server, Adam, was awesome ,super friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations. He checked on us often without being pushy and made sure everything was perfect. You can tell he really cares about the guests having a great time. Definitely coming back soon highly recommend this spot if you're craving real Mexican food and great service! read more

The awards on the wall at the entrance are well deserved. Love the food, atmosphere, and the service has always been great. Food comes out hot and perfect.

Ordered via UberEats, and we now have an additional favorite restaurant (one of 3). Absolutely beyond delicious!!

Loved it here! Great decor and ambiance. Chips and salsa are delicious and we got a double Hacienda margarita which is made with blood orange--so good and not too sweet!! The chimi chimi shrimp bowl is dynamite!! I highly recommend!! And service was perfect, even while short handed on a Saturday evening. read more

My husband and I enjoyed dinner here today. I ordered the carne asada that was really delicious. Our server Manuel was very helpful and checked on us regularly. Thank you so much for your help! read more

Cantina Louie - La Parrilla - Mexican Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Wow! We went for restaurant week and were amazed! From the shrimp ceviche appetizer to the carnitas fajitas to the incredible filled churros- what an incredible meal! And the spicy watermelon margarita was very tasty! Large dining room with colorful decor and the best servers! My husband had the taquitos - these were fresh and unlike anything we'd ever had! He had the La Pallio platter - oh my that was great - the Mexican street corn was the BEST we've had. Overall a fantastic meal! We will be back! read more

wonderful experience 10/10. Our waitresses was very patient an helpfu. He make every time of it an experience.

Just very mediocre. I was drawn in by bright colors but when you sit down you realize the murals are kind of done mediocrely. The food was the same, no real exciting flavor or seasoning, wasn't very hot coming out. Service was also mediocre. Drinks were strong ish. read more

Excellent food. Fresh ingredients and served hot! Adam was an outstanding waiter. Margaritas were the bomb!

Manny was an excellent bartender, very helpful and the drinks were tasty. Ambiance at cantina Louie is always fantastic.

Really enjoyed the inside of this place! The murals are insane! Our waiter got our order messed up, but handled it with grace. I feel like the portion sizes were great and the pricing was even better, not too outrageous, the only thing that was lacking was the flavor. I got the fajitas and it just felt like even that wasn't as tasteful. Very Americanized Mexican cuisine. The flight of margaritas were amazing and a great price, just not super strong! read more

Food is amazing! My waiter, Adam, was awesome! Made sure we had everything we needed. Drinks were fire as well. 10 out of 10 highly recommend. read more

I've been in the hunt for some solid Mexican food so I thought I'd check out this spot. When you walk in the place is sooo cute. Great lighting fixtures and colorful art. There was music but it wasn't too loud and it was busy but I still got the best service. I was excited to see the large selection of tacos and fresh margaritas. I'm a gal that likes options Parking was easy and the dessert was really my favorite part churros!!! read more

Manny was great, very attentive. They have outdoor seating and there is a covered section. The vibes are immaculate. The place is so colorful and vibrant! The food was also amazing we got the Surf and turf tacos and the Americana tacos and both were amazing. read more

Amazing server Adam! Great food and great time! Big portions, good margz! Spicy watermelon marg yes

We went today and there was no wait, hardly anyone in there. We waited for 20 minutes and no one even came to the table. There was only one other table with people sitting at it in the section we were in and no one came to check on them either. We left and told them on the way out that no one ever came to the table, they seemed shocked but the cleaning lady pointed out twice to the servers that we were there, however they all said they didnt have our table . read more

Cantina Louie - Free queso! - Mexican Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

My wife and I just ate here and were really impressed! First, the food: we had chicken taquitos and beef nachos to start, both of which were excellent. Next were the tacos. We tried several, our favorites of which were the Chimi Chimi Bang Bang and the Hot Surfer Chick, though the Pineapple Al Pastor was also very good. I think these tacos were really the highlight of the menu and they were incredibly flavorful and generously portioned. Finally, we tried the sopapillas and churros for dessert. Of the two, the churros were my favorite, but I'm not sure if I would need to have them every time. Next, drinks: I had the jalapeño margarita which I loved! A little spice, but mostly just a very fresh flavor of lime and jalapeño. Definitely a repeater. My wife got the Hacienda margarita, which was good but didn't stand out quite as much. And their drink menu has several others on it that we're looking forward to trying. Beyond that, the service was fantastic, the prices were very reasonable, and the decor was a lot of fun (seriously, the murals on the walls were really cool)! Looking forward to going again! read more

This place is amazing!! The food is absolutely delicious and gorgeous!! My boyfriend and I get fajitas for 2 at mexican restaurants all over the states and these are probably the best we've had. Chips and salsa were delicious and the presentation of everything was beautiful. Our server, Trevor gave us the best experience possible and recommended my new favorite cocktail, the run run rudolf. It was a rummy horchata with a whole churro in it!! The restaurant itself is so cozy and we really enjoyed gazing at the vibrant murals while being tucked away in our booth. please. Please. Come visit and ask for Trevor. read more
