Mazatlán is one of the places frequented by my group of co-workers for lunch. I have been going…read morewith them since Jul 2024. So far, I have tried three dishes from their menu: Arroz con Pollo (ACP), Dos Amigos and Arroz con Camaron (ACC). I had ACP on my first visit. It was good. After that, I alternated between dos amigos and ACC. I liked dos amigos the most, and ordered it at least twice. It's grilled tilapia fillet with buttery shrimp, garlic sauce, Spanish rice and beans. The last time I had it on was on Jan 27. I got sick from diarrhea the next day. It soured my opinion on that dish. The other frequent dish was ACC. I would have rated it highly had I not been to Toros Cantina on 1011-109 Lewis St. Their ACC is better, and I've ordered it many times. It included veggies, which helped to balance the taste of the melted cheese. At Mazatlán, veggies is an extra charge. Their ACC isn't as hearty being just shrimp and rice. On my last visit (with co-workers) on Dec 29, I had ACP with veggies. The chicken was a little tough. On the plus side, Mazatlán provides complimentary chips and sauce with no limit. When the basket is empty, it is promptly refilled. Same with the sauce. Service has been impeccable every time I was there. The manager periodically checks up on us to see how we are doing (if we need anything). Every time we were there, we never had to wait for a table. There's plenty of public parking too. Traffic is reasonably light during lunch time (though we are usually there by 11:30am).

My dearest friend and I were driving home from Asheville, and we wanted good Mexican food not far…read moreoff our route. As a child living in New Mexico, so many of the good Mexican restaurants were small "dives," much like the Henderson Mexican Restaurant, that I was instantly reminded of 65 years ago... Let me tell you, this little restaurant did not disappoint us! Both their green and red salsas was unbelievably delicious, with the perfect amount of heat and flavor. My (vegetarian) cheese enchiladas, with rice and beans were some of the best I've had in years! Ellen ordered the tacos and honestly, I don't think I can remember a meal where we both ate everything off our plates, it was that good. Added to the delicious fare, that the family was friendly and courteous, the service was faultless and the restaurant and bathroom were very clean, and well, what's not to love?!?! If you find yourself in Henderson, NC, and are in the mood for an authentic Mexican meal, off the beaten path, look no further than, this is the place to go! Great tasty food, wonderful people, clean and a fair price!

Overpriced, bland Mexican food…read more Was super excited to try this place as everyone seems to speak super highly of it, but we did not have a good experience. You have to pay for chips and salsa, which, I mean, what?! I've never been to a Mexican establishment and had to pay for chips and salsa. $20 for a burrito? That's bland? Just absolutely ridiculous and extremely disappointing. We will try a different restaurant in town next time!
