So happy we decided to come here! Was craving tacos which I rarely do and was looking at my options…read morewhile up in North Carolina. Don't let the gas station it's located in scare you because this is hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to. You order at their kiosk and can either get it to go or sit in their small dining area. The person who took our order was super friendly and more than willing to answer any questions we had. You can see directly into the kitchen and it is very well kept! Looks extremely clean and put together. Our food came out within 10 minutes and it was freshly prepared. The chips and guac were AMAZING!! There is no need to drive to a chipotle because this is 10 times better. I had the steak quesadilla and it was some of the most juiciest and tender meat. I don't even like frijoles and these were delicious. Everything was flavored perfectly. Absolutely will be returning here. Would love to try their version of birria. Can't wait to go back!!

First time eating here. After we were seated we had to wait…read morefor service. They weren't busy at all. I heard the table behind us say the same thing that they had been waiting I ordered a drink that came pretty quick but then sat again waiting to put our order in. I ordered a cheese enchilada and a chili relano. They were ok nothing special. They did have a salsa bar, it said they charge per cup if you take any. Usually a salsa bar is free. The drink was good could have used a bit more of alcohol it was pretty weak. Over all it wasn't our favorite place to eat. Not sure if we would go back. It was just ok.

After hitting the ball more times than I want to admit too at Apple Valley Golf Course we decided…read moreto drive down the mountain to Lake Lure to celebrate or for some to drown their sorrows and have a few cocktails and beers at El Lago. This is a spacious restaurant but unfortunately there were very few customers today so we were able to grab a seat at the small bar in the back of the restaurant straight away from the entrance they also have a large patio for outdoor seating. The staff here was very friendly and eager to grant our every wish, the draft beers are large and cold and lucky for me they serve Dos Equis Amber on draft which is one of my favorites to start before switching over to a top shelf Margarita (Don Julio) which are the same price as the house margaritas $16.50. The staff set us up with warm tortillas and salsa and introduced us to the "salsa bar" which had a number of different salsas and with different levels of heat so pick your poison and chase it with the drink of your choice. The restaurant appeared clean but although they weren't busy there were still bus bins filled with dirty dishes sitting around which I thought was odd. All in all we had a great experiences the pours were generous but it's not cheap. We decided not to eat here and our tap was still well over one hundred dollars without gratitude for the four of us - it's definitely a place I'd returned to for the margaritas...
