I have seen this place but today i decided to try lunch. I figured this would be a good chance to experience the best of the business. The place was crowded and not a good place to go if you cant handle crowds. I was hoping for a good experience. - The one thing which affects my impression in a food establishment is the flavor, presentation and the variety. I chose the chimichangas with rice and refried beans. The chimichangas was supposed to deep friend per the menu. It was just a warm flour shell with beef in side covered in a cheese sauce. The rice was bland and the refried beans were as well. Overall i would not order that dish again. Overall the components were bland and devoid of the Hispanic flavors and seasonings I typically find in the dishes elsewhere.

Now called The Mango Peel, but with the same great food and drinks…read more We eat here several times a month. It's always great, there are plenty of options, and the food is fresh and authentic. My favorite is chimichangas, and I order them with black beans instead of meat. The fajita quesadillas are a favorite of my crew, along with the Barbacoa that they only offer on weekends. Ask for the extra red and green sauce if you want more heat! The traditional margaritas are my absolute favorite. Often there is a margarita special- just check the board when you come in. Yesterday a regular line margarita was $2.99. And yes, you CAN taste the alcohol. So good! The only reason I don't give 5 stars is the service and staff are hit or miss. Sometimes they rush you through and other times you wonder if they forgot about you. It's all worth it to us for such good made-to-order Mexican food and drinks.

Definitely a place i would recommend. There are some real hidden gems here as far as possibilities. I would certainly recommend giving this place a try. Now there are a number of Hispanic eateries in Elkin NC to compete and yet this places still has a good crowd. Likely because the food is really good.

I'm not often in the Dobson area, so I took his word for it and stopped in to get a gordita. I've had a handful of great gorditas in my life. What's not to love? The deliciously crispy outside? The flavorful inside? The sauce? It's a simple bite, but it can be stale, soggy, bland, etc. The chicken gorditas here are fantastic and fresh. Masa pocket of crispiness and warmth made right on the spot. It came with some radish and cucumber and a side of really nice green sauce. Mild, not tomatillo. So basically, I need to find more reasons to make the drive out here and try the tacos.

Surprised when walked in to find fuller than expected and to see the good amount of foot traffic. Think they do good take out also at least this Wednesday after 5pm. Lots of people (for the smaller size dinning room) having conversations and good laughter. I am liking the vibe at this time. Was expecting more rural , quieter feel. Menu has ample selections. My basic dish provided bountiful serving of refried beans so along with the taco and enchilada feel pleasantly satiated. Meat seasoning and texture were pleasant. Very impressed with the staff, hard working, efficient and wait staff pleasant and personalable. Toyed with giving this place 4 stars just based on the staff. I would come again if in the area and hungry. This place might have been a Dairy Queen or the like in a prior version. Has plenty of windows. So based on my 1 time experience I would recommend this place for down to earth times with down to earth people and environment. BTW the locals must think good of this place as observed and by the volumes of people served while I have been here for the last 45 minutes+.

This small spot was a bit of a surprise, though there were some pretty good reviews, mixed in with…read morethe not so good ones - in fact, 19 of the 25 reviews were 5 star! It is a small place, and frankly the inside is more than a little rough, and it is not the cleanest spot I've ever been to. It is located just off of S. State Street in the "downtown" area. But the food is generally decent and the service has been good as well. The salsa is very, very good, though I did get stale chips on one visit. I've been here several and have tried the California Burrito, the Pastor Torta, and the Carnitas. The burrito was well sized, I chose shredded chicken. The well filled flour tortilla was covered with a very tasty cheese sauce with a sprinkling of pico de gallo. The burrito did not contain French Fries as is the norm for this item! The Pastor Torta was also well filled with al pastor, onion, jalapeños and a Mayo spread on a sub like roll - this was a very nice sandwich. The Carnitas were nice done with some nice outside crust. The pork chunks were not plentiful, and there was a very small amount of guacamole salad and a few slices of jalapeño. Though it came with rice and beans, this was one of the smaller Carnita plates I have been served. I might drop in if in the area, but this is not a destination spot for me.
