Great food and service! We ordered the queso, enjoyed the bean dip and chips and got the lunch fajitas with steak and shrimp. Everything was very good and we will definitely come back anytime we visit Asheville! read more

Came here for dinner after the hurricane and had a nice meal. They had bottled water and styrofoam containers. The inside is really cute like an old diner. Workers were really nice. Had complimentary chips and beans that were good. I was so full afterwards and had leftovers to bring home as well. I ordered the chicken fajitas for ~$13 which was a fair price. Glad this place is back open and running and happy to visit. read more

Nachos and Beer - Chicken Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Food is amazing. Ground beef was very tasty with spices. Nothing was bland. Cheese dip was great. Refried beans were phenomenal. Definitely would come back. read more

This is an unpretentious diner that serves good value California-style Mexican food. Free chips, refried beans, and a variety of salsa dips are provided. The food is tasty - nothing special, but also not bad at all. The quantity of food is respectable -- the fajitas come in large portions and I can usually get another full meal out of the leftovers. The horchata is great and comes with free refills. The service is fast and food doesn't take a long time either. Overall, this is a very solid place for a casual meal. read more

don't judge a book by its cover honestly with the restaurant's name and unassuming appearance (looks like a diner from the outside), I wasn't expecting much coming here. we actually stopped by because we were very hungry and this was closeby. but I was blown away. we were seated right away and service was ultrafast. chips + refried bean dip came out immediately. we went for the steak quesadilla and the supreme fajitas. came out quick and hot. the fajitas were indeed supreme - a literally giant steamy pile of steak chicken and jumbo shrimp. very tender and flavorful. came with a side of rice and beans. quesadilla was large and packed as well. prices were cheaper than chipotle in NYC. hit the spot read more

The food was terrible. The chips were unsalted and flavorless. The bean dip tasted like it had gone bad a few days ago. The salsas at their little salsa bar were all watered down and they all tasted the same despite claiming to be different kinds of salsas. I got a burrito combo and my husband got a torta. Both were completely flavorless. The outdoor area was spacious and nice- though we felt forgotten outside. The waitress, Iraes, took our order and never checked on us again. We were only able to ask for the check because a different couple came to sit down outside, and she came to get their order. I cannot in good faith recommend this establishment to anyone. read more

We came as a last minute birthday celebration. We didn't have reservations anywhere and since it was a Saturday night, most places had a long wait. This place was perfect as it was close to our rental. Service was impeccable! Food was good and plentiful and margaritas were icy and satisfying. read more

Giant taco salad and house margaritas were very delicioso. I sat at the bar and the service was quick & friendly. My 1st time there I sat at the old-fashioned milkshake bar area thinking it was the bar & I thought it was a little weird, until an employee told me the real bar was on the other side so I hope this helps at least 1 person avoid that, hahaha. My 2nd time there I got some chicken enchiladas & some drink special & those were very good, too. read more

Nachos and Beer - Biggest Taco Salad I've ever seen - Mexican Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Generous portions! Friendly service, and pretty quick! The inside is like an old fashioned diner car, and there are some large round tables for bigger groups. Our group ordered a variety of food from tacos to enchiladas burritos, and all the plates were emptied. Complimentary chips while you wait, and there is a free salsa bar. Buen provecho! read more

The food was outstanding, the portions were great and the prices were very reasonable. Looks like an old diner tastes like authentic Mexican. Definitely would recommend! Will definitely be back! read more

Consistently good food and service! Prices and portions are spot on Enjoyed the taco lingua and the supreme fajitas Delicious! Highly recommend read more

Solid Mexican food. I read there was a salsa bar and was geeked to try it, bit I didn't see it or ask about it so that's on me. I guess I was taken aback by the server and everyone being so vanilla. Not unhelpfull if you would ask, just doing the bare minimum My Diablo shrimp had zero diablo, cooked lovely, but it came with zucchini and onions and peppers??? None of which were mention on the menu. Just threw me off - not what I expected nor had at other places...I was looking for spicy shrimp no fuss no muss. Beans n Rice were awesome and my bf's cali burrito was way better than my dish (he let me finish half of his!!!)...which if I found the salsa bar, I would've been much happier putting jalapeno verde on my cali half! So if I was local, I would prob give another shot so I could find my fav dish why? Well, the price point was dynomite for sit down mex food!!!...but we are just visiting...so. it remains a meh. experience. read more

Nachos and Beer - Shrimp Diablo (no clue where the peppers, zucchini nor onions came from = 0 mentioned about any on the menu) - Mexican Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

I was so pleasantly surprised by Nachos and Beer- from the outside it is very unassuming (it looks almost like a trailer), but head inside and there is plenty of room and some great food! We were sat very quickly, and I saw them work to accommodate a party of 10 that came in right before us, too. They were busy on the Friday night, but the waiter said it's hit or miss with that. The menu is large and has all the staples, and is all very reasonably priced especially considering you get 2+ meals out of each! The food all came out very quickly (maybe 15 minutes, if that) and was delicious. I recommend adding the queso to your meal, and eat as much of their bean dip as you can! read more

What a nice hole in the wall place! I absolutely loved the food but the different types of salsas were amazing. I would definitely come back here time and time again! The service was amazing. We asked our waiter a few questions and he answered them all amazingly. What a great place! read more

I really really wanted to like this place. But the food was on the tasteless side. Much smaller portions than the other restaurants like papas and beer. The big difference between here and other local Mexican restaurants is the service. I may try again but this particular server gave us zero attention. I did notice others trying to get her attention also, I don't think she wanted to be their. Oh well I tried. read more

This family owned and run business is one of the best California Mexican restaurant you find. Set in an old silver diner it has outdoor seating in the good weather, and the old-fashioned diner booth inside The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is incredibly good. I've taken many of my visiting friends there who have said it is among the best that they have had for that cuisine, also, it's extremely affordable. read more

This is a neighborhood place for us and I'm so happy that it is! The food is always good. Service is always excellent. Margaritas are always huge. And it seems like they are open nearly all the time :) read more

My husband I dropped by for dinner on a whim and we were pleasantly surprised! We both got steak fajitas which were good overall. I'm gluten free and there were no choices to substitute flour tortillas and nothing was designated GF. I took a gamble and so far I'm not reacting to the fajitas. Will update if that changes! The drinks were surprisingly HUGE which we both really enjoyed we didn't look at the drink selections beforehand so it was a nice surprise. Overall the atmosphere is fun, the service was nice enough, and if we ever are in Asheville again and need a quick bite we'll definitely stop by again! read more

Came for family visit and was taken here due to my love for good Mexican food. Limited menu but still worth it! Friendliest staff and best 32oz mug f ice cold beer!!!! Definitely will be back, went 2 times in 2 days!! Highly recommend!!! read more

Clever name for a restaurant in a silver diner. We were quite surprised that there was such a small amount of nachos on the menu We are a picky group when it comes to Mexican food and this did not necessarily meet the bar. It appears that new wait staff is being trained so maybe my rating is not accurate. read more

I think the entire staff were robots. Ok, not how I wanted to start this out, but every person that I saw or interacted with was amotional...not good, not bad, just there. No one smiled, ever. Enough about robots and on to the food. The food was solid stuff that you can't go wrong with. I had the California Burrito which was tasty. The rice that came with it was solid, but no beans or pico on the plate, which should have come with it. Our robot, I mean waiter, asked if there was anything else, put the check down, and rolled away before I could form words. Apparently, no one gets a to-go option. Would I go back? Probably. I need to see if these were really robots, or just a one time experience. read more

Nachos and Beer - California Burrito with missing beans - Mexican Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Best Mexican in Asheville!! So worth the drive. I came across this place on the way to an appointment I was extremely early to so I popped in for lunch. Yay for me! It was so packed on a weekday at 1pm. I wasn't sure what to expect but was happily surprised by the simplest of items. I ate at the bar so I had the opportunity to speak to a couple of seasoned regulars who swear by this place. I brought my father here for fathers fay as Mexican is his favorite cuisine but it's so microwaved and blah in most places this restaurant is the exception everything we have had is good. Unique environment as it's in an out of business 50's diner but it just adds to the fun of this place. Such a good find in this area! read more

Love this place! Food is always great with large portions. Service can be iffy, but generally good. The ambiance can be loud, so look for a corner nook or outside if you don't like crowds. read more

Definitely a good place. I got a chicken dish that was good and the salsa bar and dip that comes free are both great.

Warm beer, cold dip and having my plate practically thrown at me. The female bartender kept saying how hard it was to be so busy. It wasn't even that busy and it was 8pm on a Tuesday. Our food rook forever and bartender practically threw my plate at me and didn't take a second to say, be careful the plate is really hot. We will not be coming back here yuck. read more

Sadly disappointing. Good chips that were complimentary, but were underwhelmed with the entree's. The beans and rice were flat and the avocado unripe. read more

Food was bland needed spices and flavor, so many better options in the area. Overall very basic

As far as Mexican joints go, this place is very good. Converted from a moved 50's style diner right off Charlotte Hwy, this restaurant is a little out of the way, tucked right under Reynolds Village. The 50's style diner kinda throws you off, but the booths are cozy and the staff is very friendly. They have a full bar and the margaritas are amazing. Prices are great, and the amount of food you get is worth the dime. Food quality is good compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area. (I usually order the Choripollo here). Food is always good here, always seems to come out quickly, and I have never had any issues with the service or the food. They have a nice big covered patio on the back side of the restaurant, so even if it rains, you are not gonna get wet. Inside, it is spacious, big booths and tables, long bar right inside the front door, an another along the back wall. Not a lot of complaints: I don't really like the salsa here, but the queso is great, so it compensates for the salsa. They do great with takeout, as I have had that a few times. Good food, good prices. I like it. read more

This looks like it used to be a Johnny Rockets, but if you can get past the very non-Mexican decor the service was fast and friendly and the food was tasty. I wasn't sure what to expect from Mexican food in the mountains of NC, but the quality and level of spiciness of the food was great. They started with free warm chips and hot bean dip. We had the steak tacos and the shrimp ala diabla which was nice and spicy. They had a large Mexican beer menu also. read more

So, they told me I would have difficulties finding a good Mexican restaurant in Asheville. They were right, it's been a challenge, but one that has been sucessively met! Before trying their specialties I wanted to see how they did on the basics. Between the two of us we sampled taquitos, cheese enchilladas and chili reyanos. All of them were excellent and worthy of reordering. The margarita was wonderful and service was friendly and quick (thanks Harrison). It's 30 minutes from home, but worth the drive. read more

50s style diner converted into a Mexican restaurant. Great selection of homemade salsas to try with your food. Very authentic and delicious dishes. We opted for the carnitas fajitas and it was enough for 3 meals! read more

Located along Fairview Road, close to the Reynolds Middle school. I pass by this restaurant to and from work and it always appear busy so I had to give it a try. First visit was with my cousin. I had their Beef Taco combo and was surprised that the beef was shredded instead of ground. Maybe I should've specified I wanted ground? Maybe I should've been asked? In any case it tasted uh... ok... rice and beans were good (but that's kinda hard to mess up, right). On the plus side my draft beer was nice and cold. My second visit was borne out of curiosity to affirm whether my first impressions were valid or not. I had another one of their combos, which I don't even remember what it was now and again it was just ok. So, next time I have a craving for Mexican I think I will be driving past this one. read more

Affectionately referred to "the Silver Bullet Diner" this has been our "go to" restaurant for years. Go at least once a month. Consistently good with great service. Great prices. They can get very busy. I suggest going when it is warm enough to sit on their patio. I'm partial to their Chimichangas and flautas but its all good. Go check 'em out! read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT food tastes good (most the time) but every time i go it's always messed up california burrito is what i get every time comes with steak chicken and shrimp half the time i don't get shrimp and 8/10 times it's missing either chicken or steak the people are always act confused when asked for the protein that i'm missing they question me when i ask for more chips when i order 3 things of queso for our family 1 bag isn't enough so i'll ask for 3 extra they always get confused and then charge me 3$ per bag of chips. read more

The food is okay but the service is mediocre at best. Our server today seemed to rewrite the menu as we went along. We encountered a few errors and when we asked her it was that they changed the menu, lol. We ordered food items that had accompaniments that we never received and when asked, they changed the menu. I ordered an app and part of my food was the wife's dinner, lol. The worst part is you have no idea how much the check is because there is nothing itemized. They run your cc and give you a bill. Yea, we're done here till some things change. read more

Good authentic Mexican food. Tamale is really good with just the right spice. Chips and bean dip is awesome. Their horchata is the best around... made from scratch in the kitchen. Service is a little slow but food is good. read more

Needed a bite to eat after driving to Asheville. We found this gem in a shopping center. Fun diner ambiance. Clean restaurant. Busy but seated right away with nachos and spicy bean dip. Beer specials daily from $1.99. We got our meal pretty quickly. My chicken bowl was awesome! Made 2 meals out of it. Chunks of grilled chicken, rice, fresh tomatoes and cilantro with whole beans. Fresh sliced avocados on top! Left out the onions. Yum! Not highly seasoned but tasted good. Could have been warmer. Mike's shredded steak burrito was large with lots of rice. Prices are good. Under $10 for good portions and good food. Server was friendly and attentive. Gave me more nachos to take home. read more

My husband and I really enjoyed our meal here! We both had Cadillac margaritas, which were really good. We were served tortilla chips with a bean dip, and then we picked a few salsas from the salsa bar, which was a fun surprise! I had a chicken quesadilla and my husband had chicken fajitas, which we probably could've shared and still had leftovers. Friendly service and good prices as well! Would definitely come back. read more
