Perfect hole in the wall mexican place. Food was fast (maybe 5 minutes after we ordered). It was affordable, plentiful, and really good! Surprised how much beef they put in everything with beef prices up. Chips and salsa were the best. Will come back.

If you are just passing through or live near I highly recommend this restaurant in Murphy, NC. They staff are very friendly. The food is delicious and wow so many options. I was surprised of the many assortment of options. You will see the full list of the pictures I took page by page. I had the cheese Enchiladas, tostada, beans, rice, with flan for dessert . If you have never had flan it's delicious and taste like a custard. They restaurant owner even sells honey from his bee's . The chips and tostada were freshly made still warm when I was served. They place was very well decorated with little things here and there or streamers. So run by this place and tell them I sent you. I promise you won't be disappointed. Peace out be safe

This was recommended by our Air bnb host and did not disappoint! They were super fast with the food, too! It was a pleasure to dine here after 2 long days on the road, eating only peanut butter sandwiches! Marvelous!

This is exactly the Mexican food I've been looking for! When we stopped in for lunch on Monday, I got the Chile Verde, and it was so good I drove all the way from Robbinsville again on Friday to try their Chiles rellenos, which is the dish by which I judge all Mexican restaurants. It did not disappoint!!! I foresee many meals here in my future.

The food was delicious. The service was awesome, no empty drinks. It was a bit crowded because a lot of people were hungry after graduation.

Impressed by the Buffet items being available. Items appeared fresh. Service is excellent. When they ran out of Watermelon I asked the server if they had additional Watermelon. Within minutes the Watermelon was on the Buffet. WIFI is not Guest available. And difficult to get a Mobile Connection. Still Recommended though.
