Piña Pineapple meal
Dave M.

Delicious food, good service, flavored margarita was so/so, overall a great meal. All of us left full, portion sizes were good. I recommend it.

This place is excellent--and not just from a local perspective! We are from Houston, TX and this gives our favorites a run for its money. Staff is super friendly and the food is amazing

Pollo Loco comes with a guacamole salad, rice, beans, chicken and your tortillas of choice.

As someone who grew up here and also spent a considerable amount of time living in metropolitan areas like Washington, DC. This Mexican spot is a must-visit. The food is fresh, delicious, and so affordable. They have a salsa bar for you to try different types of salsas. The service is friendly, quick, casual, and easy. The decor is simple and unassuming. They focus on the food and that's what's most important. There are lots of great options to pick from but you can't go wrong with what you pick. My group each got their own unique plate to try and we all enjoyed it. I'll definitely come back again! Be sure to check out the sports bar area on the other side of the restaurant for some entertainment too.

Mar y tierra
Cipriana A.

Delicious Mexican food. Arrived at a busy time on Sunday lunch hour, not too long of a wait. Had chicken with chorizo and cheese. My hubby got mar y Tierra and loved it. My food was delicious. Salsa and chips were generic Mexican restaurant style. Prices were very reasonable. Service was good considering how busy they were. Everyone at our table enjoyed their food choice. Highly recommend.

Amazing tacos! Cabeza, Tripe and Al Pastor....
Eugene W.

Amazing place! Everyone was so friendly throughout my dinner. Nice place too... beautiful wood tables with awesome pics in them. The Diablo Burrito was good, but the taco's were outstanding!!! Yes, I had both the burrito and the taco. . Wish I was a competitive eater (think Joel Hansen!) though so I could try all the remaining tacos! Wow, soooo good! I had the Al pastor, the cabeza and tripe. Amazing. And I asked if they had a really hot sauce. He said they have a salsa bar and the salsa they bring with the tacos is very good (it was, just not up to my spice level), so he said they have a spicy one in the back and he brought me a big cup. Honestly it wasn't that spicy but it was so tasty! I think this will be a must visit every time I come to Morganton. Don't even get me started on the draft beers.... He asked small or large so of course I said adult size....yes, it was surely adult size! Awesome!

See all
