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.

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...
