I do not recommend This place. Tried it 3 times. Salsa bar is usually nearly empty and a huge mess with salsa slopped all Over and dried so I know it had been like that for a while and no one even does a wipe down. Restroom dirty. Originally seated at a very dirty table. Asked to be seated at a clean table and we were moved to another dirty table that hadn't been wiped down from Previous customer. Terrible waitress. Told the cashier, as we paid, that our waitress needed to go back to dish washing. Her reply was, "we know". I won't be back. read more

We went in on Friday, November 29, 2024, and my husband and I were not disappointed at all. The service was great, and the food was some of the best Mexican cuisine we have ever had. Sadly, it is over an hour and a half drive if we want to return. Alberto, the owner, was very welcoming, along with his servers and bartender. That day, they had a Mariachi band, which was really cool, and the music was great for the ambiance of the place. Alberto told us about his other restaurant, and I would love to go check it out one day as well. We observed him closely as he was speaking to all the patrons like family and was very good at answering any questions. There's a salsa bar that is included in case anyone wants to try their house-made salsas. They start you off with fresh chips and the dip they have. It is honestly the best we have had so far, and my husband loves Mexican cuisine a lot. It's a mix of refried beans with cheese sauce and red sauce. I ordered the Camarones Zarandeados-- Peel-and-eat shrimp, marinated in house seasoning, and garnished with fresh cilantro. Served with rice and corn. Along with a strawberry daiquiri. It was truly a dish I would want to return to eat. The seasoned shrimp were juicy, and I loved peeling them myself and getting messy with the juices. II usually dislike most rice made in restaurants, but this was definitely delicious, and I'd happily eat it again. My husband had a creamy burrito with steak , peppers onions , and olla beans topped with cheese sauce and served with rice , lettuce, and tomatoes on the side. His drink was a Corona margarita. It was a huge portion, and he was full after eating 3/4 of the burrito. It is interesting he said it was his favorite to date as well. We both tried the birria tacos , and OMG, they were so yummy!! The sauce made for them was perfect, and the meat was actually seasoned well. I've had other ones, and well, let's just say they weren't my favorite. We also tried the "paleta" shot. It tasted just like tamarind. That was definitthe order of ely great and refreshing even as a shot. We ended with the Sopapilla for dessert. It was truly a lovely evening with my husband after an almost 2-hour drive to Asheville, and I am eager to go back for the great food and ambiance. If you want great-quality food with a definitely great price tag, go visit La Cabana Mexican Grill. read more

Service folks were very kind and fast. Food was amazing, we got the fajita quesadilla and some nachos, large portions for an average price. Noted as the best rice we've ever eaten. This hit the spot! read more

Food and drinks delish. Very busy so waitstaff was running a bit behind. Ate near the bar area and glad to see there were no loud sports games on. The vibe was party-like. read more

Nice place, prompt and friendly service. Ample menu with lots to choose from and bug portions. My only criticism is that I wanted just chicken enchiladas with green sauce which are my favorite and I had to order them with red sauce. My son enjoyed everything he ordered. read more

The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly and attentive. Love the bean dip and chips served before the meal

This mexican was not my fav. Hubby got the sizzling enchiladas which was a special it was a fajitas skillet layered with rice and enchiladas. All you could taste and smell was burnt rice. I got fajita salad which had barely any lettuce over refried beans with fajita meat and vegetables. Not at all what I expected. The building is nice since its an old copper river restaurant. For the maybe 6 other tables that were in there I feel the service was really lacking. The warm chips and cheese dip were good. read more

I got the quesabarria and rice and both were excellent. The beef was really tender and the rice tasted like it had been cooked in some kind of broth. I thought the house margarita had too much sour mix and had to ask for napkins and water and fetched my own silverware but will return for the food! read more

This is a very good restaurant. The food is excellent quality and is prepared with care. The presentation was excellent as well. We had jalapeño margaritas and the same care in preparation was easy to see also. The restaurant ambiance is excellent. Our waiter was very good. We will definitely be back. Only 4 stars because I never give five stars but I considered going to five. read more

Gone here twice, and that's enough to say that this place is amazing. The food comes fast, the wait staff are nice, and the food is amazing! The setting is quite nice, especially since most of the seating is booths. My only complaint is the lack of WiFi, but just ask for the restaurants WiFi and you'll be fine (or maybe socialize with the people around you). If you are looking for a place with great quality and quantity, here's the place to go. read more

La Cabana Mexican Grill - Quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Absolutely delicious mexican. service food and price all 5* a little bit difficult because of traffic and construction but worth it!!!

I have lived in San Antonio for thirty-five years, so it was nice to find a great Mexican restaurant in Asheville. The menu is extensive - some would say, all over the map. But that's fine. The food and service are excellent. No, this isn't some downtown Asheville "fancy" place. It's housed in a previous steakhouse. The interior is welcoming. Ignore the ridiculous "picky" reviews. (Especially if the word "hubby" pops up.) Good food. Reasonable prices. read more

Good food. Good service. Atmosphere is nice too. Not busy later is afternoon. Salsa bar is tasty.

Restaurant interior was clean and had warm lighting on the medium-dim side which I love. I ordered the two chicken enchilada plate with rice and beans and it came with sour cream, shredded lettuce, and pico de gallo which were all perfectly ripe and fresh as could be! The food was pretty good to the point where I probably ate too much. The servers were chill too, 5 stars. My only complaint is the house margarita was way too sweet--if they sweetened it with stevia or just less sugar I may have actually wanted to order a dessert too, but I was all sugared out for sure. It had a good sour / lime flavor though and once the ice melted a bit more, it was easier to drink and not too bad. No cheap aftertaste or anything. (I didn't want to give the restaurant 4 stars just because the margarita was too sweet). Thank you La Cabana for a pleasant dining experience! read more

Love their chips and I'm particular.. good substantial to dip into their delicious bean dip! I got their cheese chili relleno ! Perfect! Lots of cheese inside and crusted outside with a delicious sauce! Thank you! read more

Yesterday we had the grilled chicken tacos they were great with fresh cilantro and flour tortillas not greasy or wet Jenny's service & helpfulness were a plus We will continue to have lunch here read more

First of all, our server Pablo was wonderful. don't miss the table side homemade guacamole! we loved everything about this place. The food was delicious and the Pink margaritas were fantastic. read more

I had hoped for a menu that would feature different authentic Mexican cuisine than what all the other Mex restaurants offer locally. But it's just like all the rest: an over abundance of rice and beans. The food is adequate, yet truly unremarkable. Their salsa bar is difficult to find- made me uncomfortable to go into what seems to be a Butler's Pantry to find their various salsa options. I wish the owners well. I also wish the owners would create a menu that's unique and different than the other 20 Mexican restaurants in South Asheville. read more

Service was good but cueso lacked consistency. Fajitas were ok but the frozen drinks had 0 taste. Overall it was ok read more

Great Mexican food well presented and nice atmosphere! Drinks were delicious! Service was good.

The food and service were fantastic! Very authentic Mexican food. Service was excellent!! Would highly recommend.

One of, if not the best, Mexican restaurants in the area. They took over the previous Copper River restaurant location, so the interior is very well done, pleasant seating and decor. We've eaten there 8 times so far and it has become a favorite. A very large menu, and everything has been excellent. I am particularly fond of the Burria Chan beef noodle soup, very rich broth with a large portion filled with tasty meat. Excellent ! read more

With La Cabana being relatively new we wanted to try it. First off, I noticed that the table we were seated at had not been wiped down. It looked clean but I could feel salt or something that was spilled on it. No biggie since I'm not a germaphobe by any stretch of the imagination. The service was pretty good but they could have been a little more prompt at times and also forgot to bring the dip with my quesabirria. Now that the negatives are out of the way I'll move to the brighter news. The chips they brought were warm and fresh and the bean dip was good. They have a very good salsa bar. The food was absolutely delicious! The staff was friendly and the restaurant is in the old copper river grill which is a lovely building. Overall, everything looked clean. Since they are new to the area I wanted to give a critical review with hopes the owners see it. The restaurant scene in this area is competitive and it's the little things that sometimes make all the difference. The food was so good that I want La Cabana to be a success for us to enjoy for years to come! read more

Must say. The food was absolutely bussin. The service was beyond lit. The chips and beans to start were gas. +1,000 aura to anyone who eats here. Loved it. Fr fr dope spot. read more

Some of the best Mexican food in our area, including high quality meat - which I appreciate as I am a bit particular about meats and often skip dishes I like in Mexican restaurants just because I'm worried they will be stringy, chewy or low quality read more

Fantastic food! Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. You can tell they use quality meats and ingredients. Wonderful service too.
