Food and service was perfect!
Food is fantastic - love the margarita flight!
This is the best Mexican restaurant that I have ever been to. This restaurant beats any other mexican restaurants. The burrito bowls, street tacos, and enchiladas were excellent. But, the best part were the churros. All the types of churros were excellent and the chocolate churros were out of this world. Eat it with the whipped cream and blackberries and it will feel like u are in heaven. Waitress Chrys was really awesome.
The queso, salsa, chips and margarita was delish. The steak tacos I got to go for my son…. Were not. He didn’t even eat them $13 waste.
Excellent service, a great patio, killer margarita and let us not forget the tasty street tacos & taco salad. Our favorite place for Mexican food in Asheville, NC!
I have been wanting to dine here for about a year. I’ve read so many great reviews and even heard good things from friends about this place. Unfortunately that was not my experience.My son and I went here for lunch on a Saturday. The restaurant was fairly empty, but the hostess wanted to sit us on top of one of the only other occupied tables. Thankfully she accommodated our request to move down a bit.We ordered chips with salsa, bean dip, and queso. For $10 we were served a small basket of chips and the 3 tiny dips. Turned out the chips were the highlight of the entire meal. Both the queso and bean dip were weirdly chunky. The salsa was decent, but had a sweet after taste that I found off putting.We ordered street tacos with steak as the protein, and the jalapeño manchego hush puppies. I have never eaten such bone dry food! It was so dry I had take sips of water to swallow it. Even with the bland creama it was dry. Not only was it dry but it was nearly flavorless. I could taste the red onion and cilantro but the the meat clearly wasn’t seasoned in any way. A pinch of salt would have done that taco a world of good.Perhaps we went on an off day. For $50 for some chips and 4 tiny tacos, and 3 hush puppies I am not sure I want to go back to find out.
10/10 recommend. We were looking for good local food while traveling and came across this place on a recommendation. Their drinks and food were absolutely delicious! We got the pick three salsa app and boy the fresh chips with the different salsa’s/dips were so good! The tacos and burrito bowl were just as good as the app was. Next time we are in the area, we definitely will stop again!
This review is only for drinks.We popped in after the HardLox festival down on Pack Square. It was a beautiful day and the wine bar next door wasn't open yet. Rather than call it a day we went into Mountain Madre, entering through the entrance to the LEFT of the front patio, and grabbed a table on the front patio. It's a PRIME people watching perch.If people watching isn't your thing OR you've brought a dog, they've got outdoor seating in the back, tooFrom our perch at the far right table, we got to help others make it inside the restaurant. There's a sign above that end table that causes a lot of confusion for where to enter.We ordered margaritas. Our waitress and the bartender checked in on us and were very sweet. My friend got the one with KALE like a weirdo but loved it. I got the Market Margarita. Both were delicious and well balanced.We ordered chips and salsa. Unless I'm mistaken the tortilla chips were freshly fried - and very tasty. Not many places I've visited in Asheville serve fresh chips.The waitress was super patient with us and let us hang out forever. Based on this experience I would totally go back to try the food.
I stopped here for lunch when visiting Asheville. I was nicely surprised. Food was really good and tasty. I had beer on tap and it was really good. Service was nice.
The family ate dinner here one evening. The weather was gorgeous so we got to eat outside on the back terrace and it was amazing. The service was very good. The menu was small for a Mexican restaurant but you get the sense this is so they can focus on making each dish shine. I had a chimichanga that was light and tangy and delicious, so different from the heavier, fried versions I've had elsewhere. Even the queso tasted like real cheese. A definite win.
