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.

I'm a big guy who likes a hearty breakfast and these filled me up. The service was excellent, though I did take-out. The restaurant seems very chill and relaxed. I would highly recommend for Gluten Free! They have both corn and plantain tortillas - both of which are gluten free! They're also willing to sub tortillas to make tacos gluten friendly! My favorite are the plantain. I will definitely be back!

I have been visiting Black Mountain for years but haven't tried this interesting restaurant yet…read more Today was the day for me/us and marked the day the train returned on its route through Black Mountain. We were impressed by the interest and fanfare this post-Helene event created for the locals. Parking on the street, across the street or a short way up the street is town free parking. Shannon and Rain were our friendly and helpful servers. There are many seating options. We chose the sun room which was comfortable. Others were seated outside on the side porch and several people were inside. We shared a bowl of the delicious French onion soup. Eat it while it's hot for the best experience. The buckwheat crepes were the perfect consistency to handle the savory entrees. My Market crepe was packed full of goodies including the sausage add-on. Each ingredient stood well on its own. The pesto was a standout. My partner got the mushroom crepe with chicken. She enjoyed immensely. Both entrees came with a fresh greens and balsamic dressing. The servings were generous enough to bring two halves home for dinner. Sharing soup and a savory crepe is a reasonable strategy if leaving leftovers in your vehicle during the summer heat is a concern. We joined the servers on the patio to watch the return of the train through a nicely recovering town.

The meats included chicken, steak, shrimp, chorizo and zucchini. He said the flavor was nice, but the meats were very dry. The menu prices were as expected. The staff was friendly.

My only negative was that it took too long to get my margarita from the bar! Had it come sooner, i would have gladly ordered another one. Interestingly enough - there is no complimentary chips and salsa - it's complimentary corn elotes. Different concept that I was not aware of going in. At first I was a little disappointed, but then I saw how much food I got for my meal, and I'm glad that I didn't get the chips and salsa b/c I wouldn't have been able to eat my meal! For entrees, I got the Grilled Garlic Steak Toastadas + grilled veggies + salad. My husband got the Puffy Wrap w/ Chicken + yuca + salad. It was so much food! Each of our dishes were delicious and we tried to eat as much as we could. Our server was very attentive and we appreciated it. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Second visit to the kitchen, and with food this good, there will definitely be more in the future!…read moreWe visited on a very cold morning, and orders are placed outside on the porch before entering. That's fine in normal cold weather, but at 22 degrees the overhead heaters just don't quite cut it. I think this part of the experience could use a little revision. My wife had pancakes with vanilla syrup and sausage. I ordered the classic breakfast with eggs, grits, sausage, and toast. Everything was very flavorful. My only complaint was that my food was lukewarm. It seemed like my food may have been finished and sat for a few minutes while my wife's pancakes were completed. On a cold morning, I would have preferred a hotter meal, the grits weren't warm enough to melt the butter, and the toast was cold, so I didn't even attempt to butter it. That said, even with the temperature issue, the food was still very tasty, and given how cold it was outside, I'm willing to let it slide. Everything arrived quickly, and the restaurant itself is very quaint, set in an old home that is very clean. On our first visit, they offered chocolate chip cookies to go, and they were excellent! They didn't have any this time, but we'll be back again to try our luck. To those about to nosh, I salute you!!
