    Food was alright but the servers cut me off before I even asked for my check. Servers were inattentive.

    a glass of beer and a bowl of chips
    Rondel G.

    Walked in and was seated immediately. A lot of different options on this menu. Ordered and the food was delivered hot and steaming within 7 minutes. Amazing. Fajita's texacano on point. Great taste and so hot I had to let cool down before I could eat. Thanks for great service and great food.

    Molcajete and some shrimp Diablo

    Visiting in town from Florida. Ate at every single place down this way , southern pizza etc etc etc This place really far exceeded all expectations. Portions were big , the price felt like a 2010 fairness level , truly the best part . And the service was great. Got the largest stone bowl meat platter - some tacos - the salsa bar was awesome and they had pineapple salsa. The ice tea was really perfect too - 10/10 on everything

    Macho burrito and beef fajitas with all the fixin's.
    Lou L.

    We were seated immediately and had attentive service the whole time. We ordered the "Macho Burrito" and beef fajitas. Large portions arrived quickly, hot and well presented. The spice level was low, but everything tasted fresh.

    Salsa bar! Don't miss it!

    Sent my margarita back, it tasted like mix. Food was good, server was so-so. Wasn't the best experience by any means.

    Where do I start? The mother / daughter duo running this place are kind, and serve up a sweet dose…read moreof hospitality. Food is uh-ma-zing. So incredibly fresh, and the portions are huge! I love how they stuff their burritos with guacamole, grilled onions, and lots of other goodies. Today I also tried their flan. They have the traditional and a chocolate flavor. You obviously can't beat the traditional flan, BUT I loved the flavor of the chocolate flan plus it's topped with a layer of the traditional flan. Best of both worlds. :-) I meant to take pictures but I couldn't wait to dive in. (PS: thank you for the cilantro!)

    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!!

    I have been going to this restaurant for years on and off. In the past month I have been more often…read morein the area so I have stopped several times. I was quite disappointment the first time I went cause the service was mediocre at best, but u thought well, everyone had good and bad days. then I try it two more times cause I guess I was trying to convince myself it was ok and try to support a local business. every time the service was bad and the food was just ok. Today a friend, my kids and myself went there for what is going to be the last time. we waited a long time to get our drink orders, (the restauran was not even full) we order two waters, two Margarita, one pepsi and a sweet tea. after some time they bring two margaritas. several minutes passes and then bring one Peps, one sweet tea and one water, the waitress tells me, I will bring your water now. that didn't happened. she comes 10 minutes later to ask for the order, so I asked for more chips and stated "can I have my water?" she replie that it will be a while cause she was very busy in the other side and stated "yes you may have your water" I was not happy to say the least, I lost my appetite at that point. takes everyone's order and actually brings the chips in a timely manner. At th end of the meal I ask for two boxes and a to go cup. well.... 10 minutes later.... nothing! I get up and go get it myself. I also had to go and get my own check. it's not worth the hassle, bad service and treatment for an ok meal. almost across the street there is a Mexican restaurant that I did try once and I was extremely impressed! next week I might go to the new restaurant and try it once again. I hope I won't be disappointed and most definitely will write a review abut that as well. thanks and hope this helps.

    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...
