This is an excellent Mexican restaurant, authentic Mexican food, huge portions, nice salsa bar and fresh bean dip served with your chips. We had the mixed Fajitas steak, chicken and shrimp. The preparation and flavors are excellent. The service was great, very attentive, and always friendly. I highly recommend it..!!

It’s great place to get your taste buds fed. All is well accept the salsas. The Molcajate was amazing! The waiter told me that they just opened up. They were closed due to Helene. They are bouncing back pretty quickly.

I believe this is our go-to Mexican restaurant in Asheville.
The flavors are interesting and reliably good. They hand make their sauces. I’ve never eaten anything from here that could even be considered mediocre, whether in the store or by delivery.
We’ve now had Ay Caramba five times or so, and I think we’re sticking to it.

My wife and I stumbled upon Ay Caramba Mexican Bar & Grill during our road trip from Wisconsin to Florida in August, and what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be!
Located in a nondescript strip mall, Ay Caramba may not catch your eye from the outside, but don’t let that fool you. Once inside, the décor is created by decorations on the walls, like many strip mall restaurants the décor could be changed in 24 hours. Although the vibrant decorations do set the stage for a delightful dining experience.
We kicked off our evening with their 27oz House Margarita, and it did not disappoint. It was the perfect way to unwind after a long day of driving.
As for the main course, I opted for the Especial Ay Caramba—a Ribeye steak on a flavorful bed of onions, zucchini, and bell peppers. The dish was served with a generous portion of rice, refried beans covered in Mole sauce, and a full ear of corn on the cob. The Ribeye, cooked to a perfect medium rare, was succulent and mouthwatering. The combination of flavors from the vegetables and Mole sauce added a delightful complexity to the dish.
My wife chose the Cheese Enchiladas, and she was equally pleased with her choice. The enchiladas were generously filled, smothered in Mole sauce, and accompanied by sides of rice and refried beans. According to her, it was a delicious and satisfying meal.
The service throughout our visit was excellent—attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The staff seemed genuinely passionate about the food they served, and their recommendations were spot-on.
While the exterior might suggest just another strip mall joint, Ay Caramba stands out for its outstanding food and attentive service. We left with satisfied taste buds and the certainty that we’ll be making a return visit in the future. If you’re in Ashville and craving authentic Mexican cuisine, Ay Caramba is a hidden gem that’s well worth discovering.

Decided to come here because of the positive reviews, and they were definitely right! The restaurant is clean and staff is friendly. Food comes out very quickly and was just what we ordered. Pics are of the enchiladas supreme and taco salad fajitas. We also got cheese dip, but there’s a whole salsa bar to go with your chips! Makes this place stand out

This has been a go-to Mexican restaurant for a number of years.
But I finally tried the Enchiladas Rancheras and they are amazing. The carnitas on top of the cheese enchiladas were the tast, juicy, and the most flavorful I’ve ever had. I’ll be back just for those!

Great service. Friendly staff. Loved the salsa bar. They had a nice variety of salsa and all were delicious. I had the Speedy Gonzalez with beans and it exceeded expectations. My wife had a chili relleno and it was the best she’d ever eaten. The Ranchero sauce was homemade and incredible. Btw the beef content of the tacos was 3x what most restaurants are.

Spontaneously decided to get a veggie burrito to go from Ay Caramba in my new local neighborhood. When I got home and opened the bag, I was really surprised and impressed by how they made a simple burrito into a really special dish! The tofu is seasoned, and the plentiful veggies are nicely flavored. It’s topped with this yummy green savory sauce. It’s a real delight and easily two meals! I’ll definitely be back the next time I get a hankering for some comida Mexicana!
