    Classic tex mex in the area. I got fajitas with corn tortillas and we also got the chicken soup. Everything was pretty good. Chips were on the darker side and were quite crunchy (some burnt) and the queso was lukewarm but I would come back! Loved the salsa bar

    I went here while on vacation away from my hometown of NJ and it was just ok. In NJ we have some pretty decent authentic Mexican places so my bar is set pretty high, so that may be why I'm so picky. Mexican food is my favorite food as well. I had the taco salad and it was alright, but lacked some flavor. It was very large in size though. The chips and dip was great and they had a salsa station to help yourself to different types of salsa. They served the complimentary chips with refried beans first which I loved. Service was good but nothing extraordinary. We did have to seek him out for the check. Overall I have not much to compare it with in NC but in NJ it wouldn't do as well.

    What a nice find. I cannot add to the many 5 star reviews. Other than to endorse them. Lived in Houston Texas 24 years. People complaining this isn't genuine Mexican or TexMex are silly. All Mexican restaurants aren't the same. All have the same cross section items on the menu. Like some, maybe not others. This place checks all the boxes for a wonderful dining experience. Large portions, well made, the most personable staff. The Salsa bar has delightful choices both without and with kick-your-behind capsaicin spiciness.

    Chips with beans as soon as we sat down and we ordered a side of the queso cheese.

    This was our first time eating here. We came for dinner around 6pm and they sat us immediately. The food was fresh and delicious. We ordered the queso appetizer with chips which or course we ate way to many. Our food was out so fast it was scary. I ordered the fajita burrito which was delicious. My sister ordered the el pastor tacos and she wasn't able to eat all 3 and she raved about how good they tasted. For a Saturday night it wasn't too loud or busy. Overall great place to eat. Food was fresh and delicious and service was exceptionally fast.

    This restaurant is connected to an older hotel, but no worries, they have excellent food. One of my favorite Mexican restaurants, the service is always fast and very friendly, the food is great with large portions, and the price is right. Really no reason not to try it out, this place is definitely one of my favorites.

    blue agave has the staff in the whole world. they always work together & make it obvious that it's a team! everyone always says hello & is super genuine; making sure we're never missing anything. when it's not super busy, everything gets to our table fairly quickly! Manuel is the best. super genuine & has nearly become a great friend. Super friendly & wants to genuinely get to know his customers, if they're open to it. it can sometimes be a little chilly in there but the food is always fresh & warm. the salsa bar is also a must have!! the green chunky looking one is my favorite to combine with the chips & bean dip! give this place a shot!

    Holy Moly! Lots of delicious food for two people

    Holy Moly..... Fajitas for two at this recommended Mexican restaurant in North Carolina. It's Yummo...and we were hungry Stopped in Fletcher for the night on our way to North Myrtle Beach from Kentucky! Excellent food and excellent staff! Thank you for an enjoyable dinner in NC. We will definitely come back the next time we're in the area!

    Lovely place. Very large. its a great place to take a large group. the service was friendly and quick. the sauce or topping bar was nice with the different flavors. It went from very mild to hotter than hot. the later was my favorite.The plate I tried was a combo platter with beef and cactus, and beans with rice.it was delicious. the group ordered a burrito, a chicken enchilada combo, and a pork plate. everything was good. they also brought out chips before the meal, they were hot, I love that. Besides everything being very tasty, when we asked for our bill another patron had paid it for us. that was so kind, I don't know who it was. just want to say a big thank you to her and her husband. that was so kind. I had great food , great service and a great experience

    To top off the hair in the food experience after 45 minutes of wait with the place 1/8 full.

    Waited 1 hour with a 1/3 full restaurant only to receive some of the most mediocre & cold slop you could barely call Mexican food. I wasn't aware it was possible to mess up a quesadilla where a hungry child wouldn't eat it but they raised the bar on that one. Food finally came out and my Chile relleno had a huge hair it. Sent back and paid the ridiculous bill and walked out of there and went right across the street to longhorns.

She is very rude and hateful when you tell her something is wrong. Today myself, my husband and son went for a late lunch. I ordered a shrimp chimichanga, husband ordered quesadilla rebozo, son had arroz con pollo. Cheese dip and 3 drinks they charged us more than the menu price amd when we brought it to her attention she basically told us it was her restaurant and she could charge whatever she wants!! I know $12/13 don't seem like much but this is not the first time this has happened. And then to be called a liar on top of it when your menu even says your wrong is ridiculous

    5 Stars! El Rebozo…read moreMexican Restaurant is the place to go! The menu is absolutely massive--it's like the Mexican food encyclopedia. They don't waste a second, either. You sit down, and boom! Chips and salsa right in front of you. And this salsa? Just the right kick, with chips so perfectly crispy they could start their own ASMR channel. I got the fajita-quesadilla, and let me tell you, it was a masterpiece. Huge, packed with flavor, and loaded with melty queso that could make anything taste amazing. My boyfriend went for the "Burrito El Rebozo," and he found it delicious! He joked that his portion looked like the size of a small child, by comparison to mine, but it was actually just right and hit the spot for him. And the prices? Insanely affordable. We left full and happy without doing any serious damage to our wallets. Bottom line: come hungry, bring your stretchy pants, and let El Rebozo work its magic.

At the recommendation of the waiter I tried the "Pollo with Tajadas"; fried chicken served with fried green plantain slices, cabbage, homemade sauce & dressing topped with pickled onions & shredded cheese. I also ordered a side order of yucca fries. Overall, the food was absolutely delicious. The fried chicken was some of the best that I've ever had, but I'm from up north, so what do I know. The yucca, the sauces, and the pickled vegetable were excellent. I didn't love the plantains as they seemed slightly rubbery or stale. Again, I'm no Honduran food expert. Maybe they are supposed to be that way. Anyways they didn't take too much away from the food. As I was eating I noticed that there were at least four other tables that had ordered the same dish, and like I said I was the only "gringo" there, so I feel like the waiter steered me right. The restaurant is relatively small, but bright and very clean. The service was excellent and fast. Th servings were ample and I found it to be very reasonably priced. This was a terrific find. I will definitely be back with the wife. I'm excited to try some other dishes.
