"Hole in the wall or Hidden Gem for Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Asheville Nestled in the vibrant culinary scene of Asheville, North Carolina, El Que Pasa stands out as a delightful destination for anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors. From the moment I walked through the door, I knew I was in for a treat. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a clean, well-kept interior that sets the tone for a fantastic dining experience. The first thing I noticed was how genuinely welcoming the staff were. I was greeted with smiles all around, which immediately made me feel at home. Shortly after being seated, my waitress promptly took my drink order and within moments, I was served with a basket of fresh tortilla chips and salsa. One unique highlight that truly adds value to the experience is their salsa bar . It’s not just your run-of-the-mill selection; this bar featured about eight handcrafted salsas, each with its own unique flavor profile. Whether you’re a fan of mild, tangy salsas or crave a spicy kick, there’s something for everyone. This kind of attention to detail in offering a variety of salsas is a testament to their commitment to providing an authentic Mexican dining experience. For my meal, I ordered the steak fajitas, paired with their house special margarita. The sizzle of the fajitas as they were brought to the table instantly got my taste buds going. The steak was cooked to perfection – tender, juicy, and seasoned just right. The accompanying peppers and onions were fresh and added a nice balance to the dish. But what truly impressed me was the authenticity of the flavors. It’s clear that El Que Pasa takes pride in delivering a genuine Mexican dining experience, and they don’t cut corners when it comes to the quality of their ingredients. As for the margarita, it was simply a 10/10. The blend was perfectly balanced – not overly sweet, with just the right amount of tequila and a fresh citrus finish. It complemented my meal perfectly and added to the overall satisfaction of the evening. El Que Pasa offers much more than just a meal; it provides an experience. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Asheville, this restaurant is worth a visit. The combination of friendly service, an expansive salsa bar, and mouth-watering dishes makes it a standout choice for Mexican cuisine in the area. I’m already looking forward to my next visit, and this time, I’ll be bringing my family along to share in the great food and warm atmosphere. If you’re searching for authentic Mexican flavors in Asheville with a welcoming vibe and top-notch service, El Que Pasa should be at the top of your list. Five stars all the way!"

"Having landed in Pueblo on another travel assignment, I started yelping mexican food. The pictures posted showed exactly what I was looking for. Having been born in East Los Angeles and always having those Mexican flavors at my disposal, I grew up spoiled! The appealing things about this place are that they ate open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have a drive thru window which is great if your busy on the run. The menu has a wide selection of tasty options. I went straight for a campechana chilled seafood cocktail . Super yummy with shrimp, octopus, clams and oysters. The cocktail was mildly spicy with finely diced tomato, cucumber and onions. I was given a choice of crackers or tortilla chips on the side. I had the chips. Next I ordered 6 taquitos with quacamole and cheese with red sauce on the side. Ah this took me back to childhood. I live in Joplin, Missouri and to say there is not much variety for really good Mexican food is an understatement. So , I savor these flavors and relish in the authenticity of great Mexican food when I find it in my travels. This looks like it will be my regular spot whilst here in Pueblo the next 12 weeks and cant wait to try other items on the menu. The service was good and the food came out in a timely manner worth mentioning . I cam in again through the drive thru and ordered another cocktail with shrimp and octopus. I also ordered the Chicano burrito! That was delicious! So far so good..."
