This place is excellent--and not just from a local perspective! We are from Houston, TX and this gives our favorites a run for its money. Staff is super friendly and the food is amazing

Pollo Loco comes with a guacamole salad, rice, beans, chicken and your tortillas of choice.

As someone who grew up here and also spent a considerable amount of time living in metropolitan areas like Washington, DC. This Mexican spot is a must-visit. The food is fresh, delicious, and so affordable. They have a salsa bar for you to try different types of salsas. The service is friendly, quick, casual, and easy. The decor is simple and unassuming. They focus on the food and that's what's most important. There are lots of great options to pick from but you can't go wrong with what you pick. My group each got their own unique plate to try and we all enjoyed it. I'll definitely come back again! Be sure to check out the sports bar area on the other side of the restaurant for some entertainment too.

Mar y tierra

Delicious Mexican food. Arrived at a busy time on Sunday lunch hour, not too long of a wait. Had chicken with chorizo and cheese. My hubby got mar y Tierra and loved it. My food was delicious. Salsa and chips were generic Mexican restaurant style. Prices were very reasonable. Service was good considering how busy they were. Everyone at our table enjoyed their food choice. Highly recommend.

Amazing tacos! Cabeza, Tripe and Al Pastor....

Amazing place! Everyone was so friendly throughout my dinner. Nice place too... beautiful wood tables with awesome pics in them. The Diablo Burrito was good, but the taco's were outstanding!!! Yes, I had both the burrito and the taco. . Wish I was a competitive eater (think Joel Hansen!) though so I could try all the remaining tacos! Wow, soooo good! I had the Al pastor, the cabeza and tripe. Amazing. And I asked if they had a really hot sauce. He said they have a salsa bar and the salsa they bring with the tacos is very good (it was, just not up to my spice level), so he said they have a spicy one in the back and he brought me a big cup. Honestly it wasn't that spicy but it was so tasty! I think this will be a must visit every time I come to Morganton. Don't even get me started on the draft beers.... He asked small or large so of course I said adult size....yes, it was surely adult size! Awesome!

Excellent. I recommend the pork belly tacos (holy moley, the pickled watermelon rind), the lamb…read moregyro, and the mole roasted duck. The Chicken Tikka Masala taco is pretty nice, too. The deep fried chickpeas was something I never knew I needed. Nice location, good atmosphere, colorful chalkboard menu outdoor eating, nice staff. Beer, chips are good, queso dip, what more can you ask for? I think even an elaborate salsa bar would be gilding the lily, it's just that good.

What a cute little hole in the wall for tacos in Hendersonville. It's pretty close to downtown, so…read morewe decided to check this place out. We came right as they were closing. They have picnic tables and seating outdoors which was nice, though might suggest bug spray because the mosquitos were loving my blood. They also had some indoor seating, but cooler summer night, we had to sit outdoors. The tacos were soooo good. My favorite was the pork belly that went surprisingly well with the watermelon rind relish. The shrimp taco was classically deliciously and the lamb gyro was also very tasty. It was so hard to choose which tacos to order because there seemed like so many good flavors and different combinations. I actually wanted to try them all but my stomach couldn't handle it. My friend also ordered the cheerwine slushee and another order the margarita slushee which were good.
