Started off with some chicken flautas which were good and I was happy they used shredded chicken. We both got a specialty margarita as well - 1 pineapple cucumber which had chunks of real pineapple and one gummy bear which was more of a novelty but still had good taste. For mains I got the carne asada, which I regretted as the meat was more like roast beef slices than what I'm used to. The bf loved his dish though and our server was nice and attentive so all-in-all that out weighed my dislike for my meat.

The chips and salsa are fresh and addictive, and the quality carries all the way through the meal.

On top of that, the portion was huge, so you definitely get your money's worth. The atmosphere stood out too. The decor has a really polished, comfortable feel--not over the top, just done right.

The restaurant features booth, table, and bar seating. We opted for the bar, which has 6-8 seats (I think some are added as needed). My go to drink is their house sangria. Delicious, fruity, and made to order! The margaritas are incredibly popular and have heard rave reviews from some trusted margaritas aficionados. The thing you must try. And when I tell you must try, please factor in I have thought about this everyday since our last visit 4 months ago. (Not local to NC). TORTILLA SOUP. It is perfection. Simple. The broth is warm and spicy, but not hot spicy. The tortillas are fresh and crispy. How are they crispy in a soup?! Not sure but it's amazing. And topped with some fresh avocado. A nice creamy addition. While I have had (and love) the tamales. Our go to is the carne asada tacos. We like the Mexican style, just tortillas with the meat of your choice topped with onions and cilantro. They are served with a hot sauce and salsa verde. Hit with a fresh squeeze of lime, they're perfect! All in all, a wonderful authentic Mexican restaurant nestled in the mountains. Would definitely add to your list to try!
