This was a really pleasant surprise. It doesn't look great from the outside, but the food totally made up for it. They have an awesome salsa bar and fantastic appetizers. The chorizo queso was amazing, but I wasn't a fan of the tequila queso since you could definitely taste the tequila. The fajitas were solid, the menu is massive, and the staff was super friendly. I would definitely come back. read more

Amazing food, exceeded all expectations, and I will definitely put this on my list of favorites when in the area again!

This is a great restaurant. Amazing service. Great food. 10/10 would recommend for someone looking for authentic food in the area!

Great food and great service. Our food came out fast and our waitress checked in on us often.

Authentic Mexican cuisine, so delicious! A complimentary basket of tortilla chips and salsa & queso dipping sauces was quickly brought to our table upon seating. Casual/comfortable dining area with ample seating. I ordered the Chicken filled Empanadas with a side salad. I received 4 large piping hot Empanadas which were outstanding. My date order the steak Fajitas with a side of rice and beans which very plentiful and delicious. Located on the main drag in picturesque Historic Downtown Lenoir. read more

Excellent! I can't wait to go back! This was my first time eating here. The food is fresh, wonderful ingredients.

Delicious place to eat. The service was great the best we've had in a long time. my whil family loved it.

They have moved to Morganton Blvd. Lenoir. They offer 2 Carne Asada dishes. Absolutely are must order! Table for 2? Order both and share!

The folks here and super nice. The food is great and comes out hot and fast. Just a great place to eat.

First and last visit there. Cheese Enchiladas, cold. The cheese wasn't even melted inside the tortillas. The sauce served over them? Cold. The rice served with it? Cold and over seasoned. My son went to the restaurant to order to go, so there was absolutely no excuse for this. Also, we live maybe 5 minutes away. Total waste of money. In the trash it went. Never again. read more

Their food was amazing!! Nice small family Mexican Restaurant. Their chips and salsa were on point. read more

Mi Molcajete - birria quesadillas - Mexican Near Me - Lenoir, North Carolina

This place has moved. The building owner has made it impossible for them to do business in downtown Lenoir just as they did for the previous two occupants. They have moved to Morganton BLVD close to McDonalds which is close to 321. The new building has great parking and a drive thru window. This is a family run restaurant that puts everything they have into the food and great service. I feel like the quality will remain the same. read more

Good food, smiley faces, generous quantities, good value. Nice experience while passing by the region.

Really glad we can here. We enjoyed the delicious authentic Mexican food. The menu offered many selections. The owner and co-chef came to the table and offered us recommendations. We tried his wife's home made tamales. They were delicious. We also had the delicious cheese enchiladas! Of course, we had to have their margaritas to top it all off. The ambiance could use a little work to make it perfect place to eat. Bottom line, this was a wonderful family owned authentic Mexican restaurant. We look forward to coming again! read more
