    What a unique experience!!! Today was the opening of TENANGO'S Mexican Restaurant in Flat Rock (near Upward and I26). I've been waiting for the restaurant to open as they had something on their menu that I've rarely seen outside of San Antonio, TX--puffy tacos! The tacos (in the photo with the guacamole) were excellent--something to try if you've never had one. My husband had their Enchiladas Ranchero and a friend of ours had the Poblano Shrimp Tacos. The food was very good; the margaritas excellent (and priced well); the service quick; and the staff (including the manager and owner who each approached us to ask about our dinners) were friendly. Finally, and I'm sure they only had them for their grand opening, we were fortunate to be serenaded by an outstanding mariachi band. If you consider stopping here on your next excursion for Mexican food, you won't be disappointed . . .

    Tried this spot for opening weekend, and overall, it's a great addition to the area! The restaurant is bright, clean, and well-laid-out. It was packed with people for opening weekend, but didn't feel cramped. If you're sensitive to noise though or have children that are, the back room was pretty loud with multiple conversations and a TV at full volume. Onto the food! I had the puffy tacos, which were delicious. They were light, crispy shells filled with seasoned beef, lettuce, and diced tomatoes. The portion size is generous, and it comes with a hefty side of guacamole and rice. My only minor complaint is that the ground beef was a little saltier than I prefer, but it wasn't a dealbreaker. We also got the queso fundido with Mexican sausage, and it was fantastic. It was gooey, cheesy, and packed with savory flavor. The complimentary chips come with both salsa and bean dip. The salsa is super fresh, slightly spicy but more of a tongue-tingling heat rather than a deep burn, and I'm very sensitive to spice. Service was friendly, and despite the crowds, our food came out very quickly. Overall, I'd give it a solid 4/5 and will definitely be back!

    We were so happy to find this fantastic taqueria. This was the first place to eat in Hendersonville…read morethat we really loved. The place has a welcoming and very low-key atmosphere - but the food is top-notch! My companion had the #2 carne asada and I had the #7 chicken mole. Both dishes came with rice and beans and a basket of (4) delicious warm soft corn tortillas (wrapped in fresh towels) that looked and tasted like they were homemade and had been cooked to perfection - just the right proportion of crispy dark bits. At the counter there are add-ons - cilantro, limes, onions, red chilis and green and red salsa. The carne had a beautiful tang and depth of flavor - chunks of tender pork swimming in beautiful green sauce with green chilis and a heady heat that almost caused me to swoon - but there was no burn, just rapturous deliciousness. The mole was also lovely - the two pieces of chicken - breast and drumstick - cooked low and slow so the meat just tumbled off the bone. The mole itself had a beautiful velvety consistency and a craveable complexity of sweet, hot and savory. Wrapping these soulful stews in the accompanying tortillas with rice and beans and condiments made for a truly satisfying lunch after a day of hiking the beautiful trails of Western North Carolina. Thanks so much Taqueria Gonzalez!

Sundays special had a margarita cadillac for $9, which is a good deal, but I drink a little bit too much from wedding festivities earlier so passed on the drinks. After looking back on the menu, I now see they gave us the dinner menu when we were eating around 1PM because the item I ordered wasn't even on the lunch menu (the dinner menu has slightly higher prices assuming because they are usually larger portions). I ordered the Barbacoa burrito ($15.99), it was decent, a little bland though. I also wish there were more veggies incorporate. There was a small piece of lettuce covered in sour cream. My friend ordered the tacos al pastor ($15.99) which were nice and had a kick. They also did give chips and queso free of charge. I think it was queso at least, they just dropped it off and didn't tell us what it was but it was good. The servers were nice, but this area definitely has small town vibes because people kept accidentally mistaking me for someone who looks like me. It looked like this shop was pretty popular for the area. Seemed pretty crowded but not too crowded. The server said that the most popular item was the arroz con pollo, which is classic cheese chicken and rice (reminds me of my hometown Mexican spot go to since that's also the most popular item haha) They also have outdoor seating/ a nice separate patio area that gave me tiki bar vibes.

The server brought out chips and beans. Not chips and salsa which was something I'm not accustomed to. But it was bad. The place is fairly large and the day I was there it was pretty empty. For my entree I went with the California burrito. It comes with chicken, steak, and shrimp, it was no brainer for me to go with this option. When my food came out, the burrito was massive! It comes topped with a sauce and cheese. Just by the sheer amount I was already happy with my choice. The chicken, steak, and shrimp were cooked perfectly! The only thing I would say is the seasoning wasn't as flavorful. Regardless, I was very happy with my choice and would recommend it.

They also had some indoor seating, but cooler summer night, we had to sit outdoors. The tacos were soooo good. My favorite was the pork belly that went surprisingly well with the watermelon rind relish. The shrimp taco was classically deliciously and the lamb gyro was also very tasty. It was so hard to choose which tacos to order because there seemed like so many good flavors and different combinations. I actually wanted to try them all but my stomach couldn't handle it. My friend also ordered the cheerwine slushee and another order the margarita slushee which were good.

    This morning my family and I decided to get up early and grab a bite at Arabella's in downtown…read moreHendersonville. Usually we come around 10ish and there's a small wait or the place is just really packed (even outdoor seating). But today we stopped around 8:30 and there was only a couple of tables taken up. We were greeted with a smile right away and taken to a table. We were given 2 different menus. One containing the different breakfast and brunch options they offer and the second one with the coffees and alcoholic beverages. Once you look at the menu you see that there is a lot of the basic breakfast options you can find at other restaurants. But what also makes the menu different is that they offer latin breakfast and lunch items like huevos rancheros, huevos con chorizo, tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. Since it was so early I decided to go with the huevos rancheros since I've never had them here before. I also decided to go with the honey bear latte (iced) with oat milk as my drink for this morning. My latte was really good! It had hints of vanilla, cinnamon, and honey. The oat milk mixed in perfectly making the latte have a nice creamy taste. Once my dish came out I was happy at the presentation of the plate. I ordered my eggs overhard and they came topped with salsa roja, queso fresco, and cilantro. All of this was placed on top of a fried tortilla and given to me with a side of home fries. Over all I did like the dish. I will say the salsa roja threw me off because I expected it to be a little more spicy, however it had a more citrus/lime taste to it. The home fries however were a 10/10 for me, I liked how crispy they were and how I didn't need to add more salt and pepper to them. Overall I really did enjoy my time this morning at Arabella's. Our server was super nice and attentive with us. The atmosphere is calming. Also it's nice to see the people of Hendersonville coming in and supporting this local business. If you're from the area or a tourist definitely check this place out. You wont be dissapointed.
