While waiting between appointments, we used Yelp to find spot for a late lunch. With a rating of 4+…read morestars, we gave it a try. The restaurant is very close to the highway, just enough to park and leave. Building isn't the best looking, needs update and more curb appeal. We were seated immediately in the back half of the establishment. Interior is a Mexican theme if course. Music is playing, almost to loud for conversations. Music sounds like the speakers are very inexpensive. The windows were open for a nice breeze but the window screens are ripped, torn, not attached which allows nature to also enjoy the food. The young girl serving didn't speak English well, when asked a question, she had to get another lady to answer. She did check on us, just once during our meal but did refill our drinks and offered a takeout container. The food was good. We ordered the tortas milanese with chicken and ACP chicken. The sandwich was huge and the ACP was a big plate full. IF we order again, it will be takeout or delivery.

We enjoyed some beers and burritos…read more Our table ordered the Guacamole Mexicano dip, which had chopped avocado, tomato, onions, cilantro, jalapeño and lime. It was pretty good. The chips were warm, so it was very tasty. My friend ordered a build your own carnitas burrito with pineapple, rice and beans, and cilantro. She and her husband shared it, and said it was great. I ordered the 12" burrito Panfilo. It has sliced steak, refried beans and pico de gallo. It was decent and filling. I could only eat half of it. My husband ordered the fajitas Parillada. The meats included chicken, steak, shrimp, chorizo and zucchini. He said the flavor was nice, but the meats were very dry. The menu prices were as expected. The staff was friendly.

I ordered a burrito with shrimp, octopus, a whole poblano, avocado, shredded cheese all inside the burrito. I also asked for a lot of limes on the side. They came out after we took our order to go so he could check on it because he asked me numerous times about the cheese I wanted. I had said I do not want anything on top of my burrito and hate the liquid cheese. The person who made my burrito used the liquid cheese, similar to nacho cheese consistency on top. No shredded cheese inside. So they didn't give my bf his cheese sauce he paid for. My burrito was nasty. They didn't put a whole poblano, the first half of the burrito had a few small pieces of poblano, barely any octopus, no shredded cheese inside, they didn't give me any limes. I HATE this crap cheese sauce that "mexican" food places use in Tennessee. Legit Mexican food places don't use this fake liquid cheese. My bf said his nachos were good. Problem is.. I was on the toilet all night because of this cheese. I say this because it was the same cheese they put on his nachos and... he was sick to his stomach for the rest of the night and then he had his turn on the toilet.

This restaurant!…read more (The Hilton Garden Inn hits all the marks too, but as I have nothing to add I'm not updating that review.) My husband ordered five enchiladas each with a different stuffing. While delicious, unless you haven't eaten since last Thursday, who can consume so many enchiladas?! I shouldn't talk. The house special quesadilla -- always excellent -- is a lot of food. Ever resourceful, I took half back, put the chicken and peppers on a bagel and ate it for breakfast! (Note to self AND my husband: next time let's split one and maybe forego the steak and chicken. Chorizo and shrimp?!) Moving on, the salsa bar is great with smooth, chunky, mild and spicy salsas. That's not counting the warm bean spread brought to the table with their thin and crisp chips. Our margaritas -- $6 each -- are not only good but pretty, topped with berries and a flower. Here it is, Monday night -- not a typical going-out day of the week -- and the place is busy with locals. Pretty good testimony to what's become one of my favorite Mexican restaurants.

The young lady who sat us was very pleasant but when she brought chips she did not inform us that there was a salsa bar at the front so we were left wondering why there was no salsa. Our server was honestly quite rude and acted as if he did not want us to be there - even though the restaurant was empty. Every time we asked for a refill or any other request he would huff and puff which became quite comical. The food though was amazing! Chalupa, burrito, enchilada and chimichangas - everything came out hot and delicious. So maybe prepare yourself for bad service, but I would still highly recommend this place for the food alone!

The woman on the phone spoke broken English (which only makes sense considering the current state of our border to the south). I ordered the lunch fajitas. I was specific about beef, and I specifically said Carne Asada. After I picked up my order, I had a few phone calls come in, so I did not witness my food until about 45 minutes later. The only part of the order that they got right was my small side of guacamole. Other than that, they completely botched the order! WTF?!?Mind you by the way, when I entered the restaurant, it was completely dead, aka EMPTY. There was absolutely zero reason for the kitchen to "F" this up. The only reason I gave two stars is because the food looks OK. I have not even tasted it yet. Oh yeah, they forgot the rice too! Seriously?!?!? I doubt this will occur, but TO THE OWNERS... you guys should have kept the original restaurant you had before this. Foggy Rock it was called?? It was great! The appetizer trout tar tar, or whatever it's called was amazing! Sucks that's gone now. Boone/BR already has enough quality Hispanic restaurants. Cut your losses and let this one go.

We ordered a torta al pastor (extremely flavorful and massive size), sopa de pollo (rich and light), camarones al Diablo (perfect heat and flavor), and various tacos and a burrito de pollo. Whether you are looking for standard Mexican-American or real authentic Mexican cuisine, this is the place to go in the Boone/Blowing Rock area. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the ambience was fantastic! Give this place a try!

Honestly, not a big deal bc it was delicious haha; I especially loved the contrast of the pineapple and fatty pork (also comes with cilantro, onions & lime). If you get a full order (4 tacos), the waiter informed me that you can only get 2 different kinds (not specified on the menu). Also got an horchata, which was perfectly sweet, cinnamon-y, and refreshing. The ambiance is good with booth seating. Service was friendly, but wait time (both for getting seated/orders taken and receiving the food) and attention (getting utensils, water refilled) could be improved, but this could have been due to the lunch rush. Lots of parking in the adjacent lot. 8.5/10 would recommend!
