Reviews
While the place was very nice in side. That is the only positive I can say about it.
First the salsa that comes complimentary with the chips was so spicy I could not eat it. They seriously should warn people.
Second I ordered the only thing I get at all Mexican restaurants. The taco salad fajita. While it looked very appealing. Looks are deceiving. First bite was good. Then I dug down inside looking for some juice. There wasn’t any. This fajita was way too dry. Absolutely no juices to be found. And there was refried beans all on the bottom. And I did not see that listed. I am not a fan and would have ask for them to be omitted from my order.
Lastly our server never came and ask us if everything was OK or did we need anything.
And even though we ate the food because it was too costly to just waste.
We will not ever go back.
And maybe it was just a bad time because it was so late. But definitely a no for me as a return costumer.
The restaurant is in a little shopping center right off the main highway that goes through Murphy North Carolina. A little misleading from the outside not a place I would normally go into so to speak in terms of the building, older style building, but not the restaurant. The restaurant was very colorful very clean and the people were very nice very cordial and very provided a great service.
The food was amazingly authentic. I ordered the Carnitas tacos. I did not realize they were going to be three giant tacos and two awesome sides The beans and rice were delicious normally they can be kind of bland but their had lots of great flavor.
The tacos themselves the meat was marinated perfectly the cilantro and the onions and the salsas were delicious. Very authentic just like I’ve had in Mexico.
I don’t know why some Mexican places do this, but this is taco sized. It’s way to small to be serving grown adults for a meal.
The rice, beans, and guac were OK but, those aren’t the main reason I ordered the plate.
I won’t be back. Hopefully I’ll have better luck at one of the other Mexican places in town.
