    Strange to have two Mexican restaurants now in town. This one is by far the better. Food, service and prices are top notch.

    Great New Mexican restaurant. Fresh and affordable. Mars Hill is lucky to have this alternative.

    Staying at an AirB&B in Mars Hill and saw the Yelp reviews being high so we knew we had to try it.

There are many lovely options in the Black Mountain area for good meals. The comfort of tasty Latin American food draws us back! The food is so good, and the staff have always been quick to serve and relaxed/friendly. But my favorite experience is to sit outside at a table by the creek, sharing spicy food, a cold beer, and loving conversation with the natural water feature. Olé!!

This town and the adjoining town of Swannanoa was hit terribly by the hurricane in Sept 2024. They are really trying to get some tourist to come back . They need it. When you get off the exit go left and check out the adorable little town. Lots of boutiques and from what I can tell. This town has lots of little art stores and shops and really nice people. Come dinner time, we found this place. The menu was large and the staff very accommodating. The food was delicious. My husband and I have zero complaints about our food or experience. This was the first place I've ever been that served warm bean dip with your chips. It was delicious. I can't wait to go back. Go visit Black Mountain and show support by shopping and eating there. Take a drive up the mountain too. I'm already planning big to go back !

    Absolutely phenomenal. This was an outstanding experience. I stopped by for a relatively quick…read morelunch at the bar, and I was impressed by every aspect of the experience. The space is very nicely designed and laid out. Plenty of room in a cozy environment. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, on top of being very effective. I was extremely pleased to find that they even had a few different vegetarian proteins for their various dishes. In terms of the food, I went with a burrito bowl with vegan chorizo. The presentation was fantastic: my photo doesn't do it justice. It was also enormous. Much more food than I could finish, but also delicious. There were so many layers of flavors and textures that really came together in a cohesive dish. The best part is that they offer three different house made salsas, which really leveled up the dish and the experience. I would absolutely recommend checking this place out. The very hip, somewhat low key vibe was comfortable while also feeling high end well designed.

We both ordered the chicken Tinga tacos with rice and beans and I thought they were phenomenal, they weren't my husband's favorite, but I would definitely order again. The service was great and the ambience seems like it would be fun on a Friday or Saturday night.
