    I've given up on ever getting Horchata here. The food is real good for the price. You get a good amount as well.

    Really good, standard Mexican place. It does have more options than say, San Jose. Tasty.

    Excellent first trip to this place. I went to the bar, which had one chair left out of about ten…read moreor so. I shoehorned myself in there and asked the guys on either side of me what they thought. One was a regular, the other also a newbie like me. The newbie said his loaded nachos were very good, but too big. I didn't want a lot. The regular told me I couldn't go wrong with the street tacos. The bartender confirmed. She was awesome, but didn't catch her name. Very nice, knowledgeable and attentive. I was going to order two steak tacos, but the bartender thought I should try the carnitas for one of them. They were both good, but the carnitas was excellent. Should have done both as carnitas! They came with a nice serving of rice and beans that were actually good! It's a big place right on Merrimon and like many restaurants on that street, parking is at a premium. There are like five spots on the side street right next to the building, but if you don't get one of those, you be walking either on the side street behind the building or across Merrimon. I was on the side street about two blocks behind the building at about 5:45pm. It's free parking, but plan accordingly. You may be walking a bit.

We both ordered the chicken Tinga tacos with rice and beans and I thought they were phenomenal, they weren't my husband's favorite, but I would definitely order again. The service was great and the ambience seems like it would be fun on a Friday or Saturday night.

    On a recent trip to Smiley's flea market my friend and I found this gem. Unlike some of the other…read moretaco places at Smiley's, Taqueria Los Gallos doesn't have an exterior presence. It is located on the corner of the indoor market. The market's walkway literally transects the dining room. What Los Gallos lacks in ambiance it more than makes up for in authentic kick ass tacos and tamales. My friend and I visited Los Gallos after we succesfuly located a copy of the 2005 remake of War of the Worlds starring Tom Cruise. This was victory food. We ordered two al pastor tacos and a tamale. The tacos were on point, double wrapped corn tortillas, and a solid helping of delicious pork. No frills, just solidly well prepared pork, onions, and cilantro. The tortillas were warm and tender. The tacos were good, but the tamale was GREAT. We missed out on the verde chicken tamale, as they had sold out by noon. We were happy to settle for the pork rojo one, which was still available. Los Gallos' tamale was bigger than most, and it was moist and airy. Dense dry tamales can take a hike, this thing was a golden brick of maize. The pork within was nice chunks of slow cooked meat, not some sort of macerated filling... oh man, I can't get over how awesome this tamale was. The best part? Tamales are $1.50. I think everyone loves finding a new spot, a hidden gem that offers an out of this world food item, and Los Gallos is just that spot! Furthermore I have to mention their avocado salsa which is neon green, and the most delicious salsa I think I've ever had. I know I get excited about things regularly... but Los Gallos... Los Gallos is worth driving to Fletcher for. Word of caution, Los Gallos is only open on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 am til 3 pm. This gives you a very small window of time to check this land of wonder out.

This town and the adjoining town of Swannanoa was hit terribly by the hurricane in Sept 2024. They are really trying to get some tourist to come back . They need it. When you get off the exit go left and check out the adorable little town. Lots of boutiques and from what I can tell. This town has lots of little art stores and shops and really nice people. Come dinner time, we found this place. The menu was large and the staff very accommodating. The food was delicious. My husband and I have zero complaints about our food or experience. This was the first place I've ever been that served warm bean dip with your chips. It was delicious. I can't wait to go back. Go visit Black Mountain and show support by shopping and eating there. Take a drive up the mountain too. I'm already planning big to go back !

I had cheese enchilada and they were very good. I am a lover of sauce and do wish they had a bit more sauce. The chili relleno was very yummy . The food came out really fast.. And the service was great. Wish I would have gotten the young man's name who helped us. He was blonde with a nose ring and very sweet. Everything I had was so yummy I had to take a flan to go I snuck a little taste and it was yummy. A bit strong in flavor but I am looking forward to eating that as soon as I get back to my room. Margaritas are great as usual, Not sure I've ever really had a bad Margarita. As long as it has tequila, I'm a happy girl. All in all, this was a great stop and I would highly recommend.
