There is a restaurant I love back home in Florida that I've missed tons & thought I'd give this one a try and I was NOT disappointed!

It looks like they're doing a renovation as well. The service from our server was odd, however. It felt like he was trying to leave work so everything was in fast forward mode. As soon as he greeted us, he took our drink orders, which is customary, but he also wanted our food order. We'd never been there before so we needed some time. He left & then quickly returned to get our order again. My Mom is in her 70's & likes to take her time (within reason since we were famished). We just gave him our order without finishing looking at the menu. Whatever, we complied. The server never asked for our choice in protein for the lunch items we ordered. I guess he was just going to choose for us until I stopped him as he walked away & informed him of what we wanted. I'm a vegetarian due to medical reasons & it would have been nice to have my opinion about what I'm about to eat considered without my having to push this person to do their job. The food that came was far from expected in conjunction with the esthetic of the restaurant. It looked like a red mass on a plate. Everything was gooey, saucy & I couldn't tell what I was eating. Same for my mom. I had substituted rice for beans. That didn't happen. I couldn't tell which item on the plate was my poblano or my enchilada. Everything was flat & red, even the unwanted beans were covered in red sauce. I requested the rice I had ordered & it eventually came. Are peas & square carrots customary in Mexican rice? All in all, much like the food it was a blah experience. The food was basic & uneventful. Everything tasted the same. The service was also blah & uneventful. I hope the guy got to where he needed to be. We won't be there again.

El Mezcal Mexican occupies the corner of Hendersonville Marketplace along New Shackle Island Road,…read moreand is a solid spot for Mexican whether dining in or picking up. For those who are looking for Ricardo's...this is the place, but it underwent a rebrand and relocation in the past few years. The restaurant is not large, but being located on the corner of the plaza gives lots of natural light for the long dining room, plus a cool cutout space for the bright bar and there is even a small patio outside of the front door. The space does not give off your standard Mexican restaurant vibes in full, but the essence of it is there and that is good enough! I have dined in, but most of my visits are pickup from an online order. My go-to here is always the Arroz con Queso. Unlike other spots, this comes automatically with peppers and onions, but no tortillas. I 86 the peppers and live without the tortillas. It is a good amount of chicken, rice, onions and queso. Always hits the spot! Along with this, I usually get a bowl of queso, but recently decided to get an order of bean dip...and where has this been my whole life. I kind of knew what to expect, but the ratio of refried bean to queso was absolute perfection! Price point was standard and ran me around $23 for my entree and dip plus tip. Service is always welcoming and friendly, plus they are usually quick with preparation, so never long waits whether dine in or pick up. Overall, really happy to have found El Mezcal. A solid go-to when in Hendersonville!

I'm told what they do with shrimp is exceptional, but I don't eat it so can't really comment. Their chips are a little less great than I'd want, but their salsa is good. Edge of flavor that my kids don't scream "this has flavor daddy, ugh!" Vegetarian selection exists. Everything tastes ok but doesn't scream great. The place caters to the region, should be noted you're not going to get explosive spicy or some of the more "risky" flavors. I mean, it's Hendersonville and as much as I love you guys, if you were on Hot Ones I suspect Mayo would be about sauce #4. So yeah, come for the drinks, they're great. The food, it's good, works for the area, going to tick off anyone who lives in Texas. I've got my favorite Mexican joints 25 miles up the road but that's another city.

I swung by on an afternoon for lunch after doing some shopping nearby. The place was not too busy, so I was sat promptly and assisted shortly after. The space is welcoming, themed, bright, well kept and clean. As with any stop at a Mexican spot, queso is always a starter. Priced at $5, the queso was standard, but that does not equal bad. Exactly what I was after. For my meal, I went with the Pollo Mexicano, which is a slight twist on the Arroz con Pollo, as they add sauteed onions and jalapeno peppers. It came in around $15, which was decent given the portion and preparation. The food was nothing special, and could have used a bit more seasoning, but it was still a decent lunch for $20 plus tax and tip. Service was okay. My server popped outside for a good portion of my meal, so I did have to get up and go to the bar at one time for a refill. He apologized and we moved on, no big deal. Overall, solid 3.5 for me. Wouldn't hesitate to come back when in the area, but not going to go out of my way to swing by.

From queso to quesadillas, fish tacos to birria...Pueblo Viejo has all the classics combined with a few house specialties. I usually go with the classic arroz con pollo, but decided to switch it up and go with the Quesadilla El Rey, which featured grilled chicken, cheese, mushrooms and onions, sided with rice. The quesadilla was delicious, well cooked and packed with the goods! Of course before the main, I started with a small queso. The queso was bland and a bit thick for my liking. The complimentary salsa was also nothing special. They both got the job done, but were just okay. The space is small, one large dining room featuring a variety of table setups along with a small bar in the back corner. No frills space, which is duplicated in their food. Service was friendly and timely. Place was clean and well kept. Overall, Pueblo Viejo is a solid 3.5 for me. Happy to go back and enjoy a meal, but wouldn't go out of my way for it.
