“ In town for the week from Tucson, Arizona. I'm very spoiled with Mexican food and didn't expect to find an authentic restaurant in Spruce Pine. All the food was excellent, and I especially loved the music and decor of the restaurant. Will definitely recommend and be back next trip! ”
“ Great Mexican and seafood! It's always served quickly by a friendly staff. The location is a former fast food restaurant so there's lots of light in the dining room giving an open feeling. ”
“ Service? They wrote the book. No one stands around. The manager, the servers, the bus people, they do it all! I've never seen anything like it in all my travels. The food is even better! Food in the mountains should not be this good outside of Mexico. They also have a salsa bar that has multiple salsa and they have the best white salsa I've ever had. Sorry west coast, the east coast in the mountains blow you away. ”
“ Clean atmosphere, friendly service & AMAZING AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD!! The Guacamole Maxicana = so good I could have had that as my meal!! Luckily I still ordered - their enchiladas were perfectly flavored and wonderful. Their bean dip and queso ... Ok I can't say enough good things - a GEM in the mountains, enjoy the view - it's worth the drive!! Oh! & a Salsa bar - pick your favorites!! ”
“ Great quality Mexican food, clean and attractive restaurant, great staff, uplifting authentic music, clean restrooms, nice outdoor patio, dog friendly. I can't say enough! And you won't get a Chile rellano that looks like a pile of hamburger with cheese melted on top. Generous portions. Mmm ”
“ Everything I've ever ordered here has been great. The staff have always been polite and friendly. Can be very busy during lunch or dinner. ”
“ Forget all the reviews you see on this Yelp. If you Google this place, the Google reviews are 4.5 stars! 1. Facility: clean, welcoming, kind staff and great service. Music is fun and makes you shoulder shake while you're at the table. (Ignore the wankers that say it's too loud) 2. Margaritas. Presentation is delightful. Next level for a Mexican joint. We had an ice ball that was the shape of a rose! And what other margarita at a Mexican place has berries in the glass. 3. Food: well wow. So fresh, the meats were elegant, and delivered on an 8 person table of hungry tummies. 4. Location: you're right at the Walmart shopping center. Great for before or after grocery pit stops. 5. There are NOT rocks in the bean dip My recommendation: don't walk, run!! This place is legit. Get the Cantina nachos, the Yolanda, the Mexican tacos, all of it! ”
