The food and service was excellent! We had the nachos and when they realized they forgot to leave off the jalapeños...they gave us extra without it. The kids had quesadillas and they were good too! The beans and rice was just amazing!

Service is horrible! A lot of cursing behind the counter making the food. The wait staff is rude and not helpful about the drinks or menu. The bartender didn’t know what Amaretto was. I called in a order to go one time and when I got home, the container was half full, there was basically only rice. I called and the girl said “please hold and slammed the phone down. I was literally on hold for 30 minutes and could hear everything going on in the restaurant. I hung up and called back only for no one to pick up. The food is great ,but if the service were better it would be an outstanding restaurant. Such a shame........,

Probably serves me right for eating at a place that is named after a wild beast that attacks the innocent. The meal was very much in line with the name. Tepid. Something that queso should never be. Especially when you ask THREE times, and finally ask them to put a thermometer in it. The last time it was edible. Chips were thick and hard, not thin and crunchy. The Steak Frites looked perfect. Fork in and COLD. COLD! Ceviche should never have a ton of vinegar in it. This did. The shrimp was mush, overcooked in the marinade, acidic, and inedible. My special, the pork tenderloin, I was so glad that I asked for the sauce on the side. The meat has a beautiful rub. The sauce was such overkill. This, at least was warm, not hot, but edible. Plating here was a hodgepodge mess. I don't need wet spinach mushing up fries on top of them. The cooked cherry tomatoes were a nice contrast, but score them so they don't explode hot juice at the guest. I'm not sure why the chef can't avail himself of a warmer for the completed dishes, but it would help. So would a thermapen. Worst meal of our trip, so far. Jose, the bartender/waiter was kind and excellent. Kitchen is not his fault. Place looks good. Parking is ample. Hot and competently made food would have made all of the difference.

I love the food in this place. I’m a native of Asheville, born and raised, who visits this restaurant when I can. The main negative for me is the cleanliness. The recent visit was a disappointment. I took my parents there for the first time to give this place a try. The floor was filthy. It was 4 of us and all of our shoes were literally sticking to the floor. The floor looked like it had not been swept in days. We visited a couple of hours after opening on a Friday evening. It was very empty so no excuse for not keeping the place clean. We ordered carry out but there is no way that I would have sat in and ate. Come on ladies & gentlemen keep the place clean especially with the presence of COVID-19! I’m not sure that I will return or recommend this place to others after this visit.

This place is amazing..the food is awesome. Get the Gampas and have your mind blown. The cocktails are out of this world as long as Jose is making them. He is awesome, he made an old fashion with Mezcal, yes Mezcal. For someone that drinks scotch and bourbon I was skeptical. Let's just say I ordered more than one, yes it was that good.

This is a hidden gem on the north side of Asheville. The food here is absolutely amazing and authentically fresh. Great for margaritas and the fusion Latin food is awesome.

Food was great, very fresh! I got the ahi tuna tacos. Delicious! Staff is very helpful and friendly. Great selection of drinks as well! Covid precautions in place!

This is fine food, not Tex-mex. Hand-made cocktails, not a slushy machine. And a host with the most.
