40 Best Mexican Restaurants near Weaverville

“One of the guys showing folk to their tables was very rude, yeah, you know who you are! Everyone else was great and food was good. If you show up before your party don't ask to get a table and for sure when the rude table guy says you have to wait don't ask him to explain. I've eaten there many times but I think I'll go somewhere else from now on. Maybe the guy just had a bad day, who knows. I know losing my limited business won't hurt them but I'd rather be somewhere appreciated.“

“Chapala Mexican Restaurant was a great find! The beef chimichangas were delicious with a generous portion. We were seated right away, and the food came out fast. The warm chips and tasty salsa were a perfect start. Great service, yummy food—I’ll definitely be back!“

“High tech ordering tablet but food was better than any others I've been to and located by Walmart needs better signs to show its out of the way spot it's where the steak and shake was!!!!

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes easy to get inside“

“Amazing food, amazing service. Will be sharing with our friends in Indianapolis when we get back home! A must when you visit Asheville.“

“This place is absolutely incredible! Everything is seasoned perfectly, your food comes out fast, your plate is loaded, and it's a good price especially considering some of the other places in asheville. This is genuinely the best mexican spot i've tried here. This place is next to another mexican joint, and across the street from a chipotle. Not even slightly comparable. If you try this place once I promise you you'll never eat at a chipotle again. The only issue with this place is that it's hidden away and there isn't a lot of advertisement. So tell your friends! They absolutely deserve the business. This place is a 10/10 I always leave full and happy. In addition, if u like hot sauce ask for one at the counter. Best hot sauce I have ever tried, I would buy it by the bottle if i could. Looking forward to being a regular customer here.“

“Great food with great service! I will be back ALOT!“

“Been dining with Terisa and her family since they opened. The quality of the food is always superb -- especially the many dish and dipping sauces. Service is always very friendly and attentive. Best House Margarita in town! Impressive sports bar. Even the chairs are works of art -- hand painted wood carvings and metal imprints of primitive scenes throughout. We've frequented all the local TexMex venues for 30 years. Orale's Bar & Grill is the stand-out best in Asheville.“

“The food and service were fantastic! However, the reason I will return every time I visit Asheville is not actually food related. The owners fed their employees and their families the entire time they were shut down for Covid. The owner’s husband is involved in many global humanitarian projects. While I was reading the Cantina’s historical wall display, the researcher responsible for the wall came and spent about 20 minutes chatting with me about the area’s history. I was moved by life work of the people associated with the restaurant and will return in support of goodness in the world.“

“An offshoot of Mamacita’s, Taco Temple retains the same focus on homemade Mexican eats. The offerings are a bit fancier than you might find at a typical taco joint but not to the point of pretentiousness (they also have breakfast tacos for those who are up early enough). While it occupies a smallish space, Taco Temple does offer a cool vibe, including a vintage Corona machine.

My wife and I opted for a trio of tacos plus guac to go. Our order was ready on-time, and one look at the homemade blue corn tortillas made us anxious to dig in. The tacos were generally tasty and delivered distinct flavors: the loreto (tangerine-pasilla shrimp) was spicy and tangy while the Santa Barbara (ancho-brown sugar rubbed steak) was smoky and slightly sweet. The panela (panela cheese, poblano, black bean, pickled onion) included too much pickled onion and too little cheese, however. The chips, guac, and tomatillo salsa were solid complements to the meal.

Taco Temple may or may not make you a convert, but it’s worth at least one pilgrimage.“

“Wow! Excellent little taco truck with something for everyone, that is... if you're looking for a delicious and authentic taco truck experience. Food was great. I tried several varieties of tacos - all spot on tasty. Extra sauce and jalapeño was great too. Prices are pretty reasonable these days, as the tacos were somewhat large. I've had tacos from taco trucks coast to coast, and these were honestly some of the best.“

“Am testifying of the miraculous work of a great traditional doctor called Dr MOMOH. I have been suffering from herpes since last 2 years with my wife but today I am happy that am cure from it with the herbal medicine made by Dr MOMOH the great healer, I was browsing the Internet searching for help when I came across a testimony shared by someone on how Dr MOMOH cure her from Herpes Disease. I quickly contacted him to get the cure and today I am now free from the Virus.“

“This is the most authentic Mexican restaurant that i’ve been to. If you’re the average American looking to get Mexican food with “chips and dip” prior to ordering, look elsewhere. No chips or salsa was provided. They do not have sweet tea, it is only bottled or can drinks. The tacos were good. The atmosphere was mediocre. I would consider this to be a manly place rather than a family restaurant. While I wasn’t displeased with the food, I most likely will not return, at least not with my family.

Parking: Very small parking lot that is hard to access during high volume traffic.“

“This place is always amazing! Fresh and hot food.“

“The house Avocado salad was AMAZING! This very satisfying dish contained a large amount of fresh salad greens, carrots, red onion slices, tomatoes, an entire sliced avocado, and croutons. I received 2 different types of dressing - both delicious, a large serving of tortilla chips and salsa. It was really enough food for two! Service was also wonderful, and while I chose to eat outside in the sunshine, the atmosphere inside was very festive! I will definitely return to try some other offerings. !Muchas gracias!“

“I am so happy I found this place. Absolute best burrito I have had in Asheville, or anywhere, really. So far I have tried the pastor and carnitas. My kids love the chicken. I can’t wait to try the tamales and every meat on the list. Their agua frescas are fantastic as well. So far I have only tried the most delicious horchata, I plan to try the whole list! Try this place out. Support local. Support burritos fantastico!!!“

“One of the few places left that uses quality meats and vegetables ! Also where you will leave with all your body parts and not feel like you've been robbed by their prices. Great family environment with excellent service. Where all us locals go....“

“Best burritos in town and cemitas“

“The best in Asheville . Fast Friendly service . Everything I have ordered has been spot on..“

“One of the better family-owned Mexican restaurants in the region.

My old joke that a good Mexican restaurant has a big TV and a soccer game running stands true here as well.

But what makes this place great is the food. It is more California Mex, which this former Californian misses.

Basic as it is, I almost always get the chicken burrito. Interesting blend of flavors, and just the right amount of sour cream to carry the entire meal.“

“Ahhhmazing food and service!! Best guac ever!!!“

“Just wow! Glad we found this place!“

“This is my second time ordering delivery from you via Door Dash and you guys are fantastic! Whatever you are doing, you do it right! I had my order at my door step in less than 20 mins this evening! Last week I had it in about the same time! Your food is incredible, prices are reasonable and everything is piping hot. Thank you so much!“

“Eta noche hemos comido en ese lugar, el sazon es muy bueno, la rapidez en el servicio me sorprendio ya que eramos 16 personas y el personal muy amable. Felicitaciones a este restaurante mexicano, ademas las raciones son generosas.“

“WOW! Very good food and service. We will be back to try other dishes from their menu.“

“First time eating here - had the Fish Tacos. They were fantastic!!! Loaded. Lots of flavors. They were honestly Much better than I was anticipating they'd be. I will say that they weren't Filled w/ fish - I'm a simple one and like lots of fish w/ just the right amount of complimentary flavor- but they Did have enough fish that you could taste it all together and they were just right for what they were. I assume they rest of their food is prepared w/ the same care and skill.“

“We ordered take-out. Carnitas and Molcajete from their House Specialties. The staff was friendly and nice, they refilled one salsa bin because I asked for that one specifically! The food was wonderful. Lots of meat in the dishes. We ate only half for our dinner and will enjoy it again tomorrow! I'm not sure what happened with those that had bad experiences. We've eaten there twice and it was amazing both times. Prices are reasonable, the place is clean and the setting is cozy. I highly recommend this little eatery!“

“I’m not from the area visiting Ashville from Chicago.I was staying not far from there keep passing the taco cart was curious.I stop had a conversation with the owners they told me their story .They from Guanajuato Mexico and this their tacos.I order 3 tacos to share with my girlfriend2 asada and I birriaThey are small, but mighty in tasteThe birria was amazingIf I ever in the area will get 4 for myself cuz at the end didn’t want to share.“

“We wanted Mexican food tonight and decided to give the Merrimon Avenue location a try. (Take out). The order was ready when I arrived. We are very pleased with the food. The Nacho Supremes were great and the Enchiladas Supreme were excellent. Would recommend that if you want Mexican food, this is the place to go.“

“Eta noche hemos comido en ese lugar, el sazon es muy bueno, la rapidez en el servicio me sorprendio ya que eramos 16 personas y el personal muy amable. Felicitaciones a este restaurante mexicano, ademas las raciones son generosas.“

“If you are looking for awesome authentic tacos... LOOK NO FURTHER. This little joint is a perfect pit stop to top off your hunger and enjoy tacos. A micro FAMILY owned taco shop. Support these awesome people by enjoying their amazing food. Wouldn't recommend if you are looking for a traditional Mexican restaurant experience - this is more like a taco stand with a place to sit. A++++++

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!“

“Our server was wonderful, so kind and happy! I enjoyed that this place feels like a mom and pop shop, they have a great patio, and the biggest Agua Fresca I’ve ever had. The food hit the spot, just wish they went a little heavier on the cheese and sauce on some dishes!“

“First time here, food was delicious and fresh, my only beef was as it was my first time I was expected to know what my options were as the food moved down the line, would have appreciated being asked even if it is the thousandth time you've asked today. But I'd definitely check them out again.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Ricos pasteles y decoración“

“Best Mexican restaurant in the area! 100% recommend it.“

“Great place to eat. Friendly service and fast !!!“

“Was visiting Asheville this past weekend and was taken here for lunch. Hands down the best tacos I’ve ever eaten.“

“This place has THE BEST spicy chicken quesadillas anywhere, truly. I am a big eater of chicken, and of quesadillas, and in my years of coming here I've never had a bad one, and almost always get an incredible one. Their prices are fairly high, and I don't know their whole menu, but I could have one every day here and never tire of it. If you enjoy a good spicy chicken quesadilla, you've found a new favorite spot.“

The clean rating is a 99.5
That is great! Also I can tell they have a great manager. Tonight we were missing one of our combos. So we drove back. It happens when you have a family of 4 and your orders are kinda big, Items sometimes get missed. The manager made sure it got taken care of quickly and made sure to encourage his employee to stay aware of the details. It just makes me trust this location. He obviously cares about accuracy and doing things right. Thank you to the manager.

The employee Paula was very nice and made sure we had exactly what we asked for and was super polite. She is the kind of person that makes you want to come back :)“
