"This restaurant offers outstanding service, delectable food, and a well-crafted atmosphere. The decor is beautiful and transports you to Mexico. They begin the meal with an amazing green sauce and delicious chips. I wasn't particularly fond of the red sauce, but the green sauce is fantastic—perfectly creamy and bursting with flavor. The margaritas are excellent, especially considering they're a "house" option. We shared the beef fajitas, which came with a buttery dipping sauce that has a hint of lime. The tortillas are thin and just the right size for making great tacos. They offer both green rice and traditional yellow Mexican rice; I personally preferred the yellow. Our waiter was attentive, and the service was quick. I definitely plan to return! (The low lighting made it hard to capture the true presentation in photos, but everything was wonderful!)"

"The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. We had a group of 25 for a birthday celebration, and my glass was never empty. I always appreciate attentive service when my drink runs low—it really makes a difference. I ended up with more food than I could finish, and the meat was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I’ll definitely be coming back!"

"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!"

"We enjoyed our experience so much that we went back today, but what a difference! Even though I ordered the same items, it took almost 30 minutes to get our food this time. The green beans were not hot, the fries were limp despite my request for crispy, and the shrimp tasted overcooked and overly salty. The green beans were tough too. When I asked about my roll, they told me I wasn’t supposed to get one, even though I received one during my last visit. They did eventually give me one after I showed them a picture of my meal with it. Today was such a disappointment after our fantastic experience last week. Last time, everything — the shrimp, chicken, and green beans — was excellent, but not so much today."

"I placed a quick order over the phone, but the experience was disappointing. I ordered using the menu linked on their website, and the next day my wife noticed that we were charged more than what the menu indicated. I tried calling them, but they claimed that it wasn't their current menu or that it was an outdated version. We're moving soon, so it doesn't bother us too much, but it's definitely not acceptable."

"I used to enjoy going to this restaurant, but an experience I had today has soured me on the establishment. I had in hand a coupon from a local publication indicating I could receive 1/2 off on a lunch combo. My wife and I ordered from the lunch combomenu, but when I went to pay, I noticed that the price was higher than that listed on the menu. The reason? It was a Sunday andthe very fine print on the menu indicates that lunch combos are only available Monday through Saturday. Worse, the fellow at theregister would not accept my coupon, even at the higher price, despite the fact that there was no indication that it was notvalid on Sunday. I blame the server to some extent for not pointing out that the lunch combos were not available on Sunday.All-in-all, a very disappointing experience and an example of poor customer relations."

"We have been living around the Stafford region for over 10 years. This is the first time we decided to spend our Sunday family dinner in this restaurant. We had a great dinner. Everything was very fresh and had a great taste. The fajita bovine quesadillas- the beef was very delicate and tasteful and cooked exactly right. In addition, all we ordered- crispy Rind Tacos plate, grilled fish Tacos plate, Taco Al pastor plate, grilled Tilapia/Shrimp with mango sauce and combo plate- were all fresh and very good. The staff was very professional and attentive! We definitely come back!"

"I do have one suggestion: it would be great if Mexican restaurants served their chips and salsa warm, as it really elevates the dining experience. We will definitely return to sample more dishes from the menu! I wanted to add a bit more to my review. On September 18, 2021, we came back to celebrate my husband's 66th birthday and brought his sister along, since we had been raving about this place to her. She lives just a short walk away but hadn’t visited until now. The young man working there was incredibly kind—he opened the door for us and helped us find a table that accommodated all of us, as my sister-in-law uses a wheelchair, my husband had a rollator, and I use a cane. The service was quick, and as always, the food was hot and absolutely amazing! My sister-in-law immediately fell in love with Arturo's, and they did not disappoint. She mentioned she would definitely come back and joked that if she could, she'd be there every day, wishing they would deliver to her since she would be ordering daily! Overall, we left as happy new customers. My husband was thrilled to celebrate his birthday in such a fantastic place with delicious food. Thank you!"

"Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant had a lovely entrance with a gate, which I appreciated. The terrace was spacious and would be great for dining outside when the Texas heat eases up a bit. I really enjoyed the variety of salsas they served at the beginning. One was a spicy salsa with chunks of tomato, while another was a sweet, minty green salsa, possibly made with tomatillos as a base. They also had a classic salsa that was perfect for dipping with their crispy thin chips. I ordered the Grande, which is a huge platter meant for sharing—ideal for two people. They asked if I wanted rice or beans, and I highly recommend the beans; they were fantastic! The waitress was very attentive and pleasant. My grandma found the tortilla soup to be a bit sharp in flavor, and they kindly offered her a different option. She opted for the beans as well and enjoyed them. I apologize for only having pictures of my food!"

"I found it. One of the biggest bummers about moving from the west coast to NC was the dearth of authentic Mexican cuisine. So, it was certainly an unexpected and pleasant surprise finding this gem in northeast Raleigh. Though it 's attached to a gasstation (albeit among the most modern and ritzy ones I 've ever encountered), that 's where the hole-in-the-wall stereotypeends. Clean establishment, massive menu, prompt and friendly service, and food that resembles everything I remember about myhome state. I had the huge burrito, and my wife opted for the street tacos. We were not disappointed. I 'll be returning hereweekly at this rate."

"The more convenient take-out options involved delivery. So I called the restaurant to place my pick up order. Everything was ready in less than 15 minutes. This is from the lunch menu and as you can see it was a lot of food. I didn’t include the bag of chips in the photo by mistake, but it came with chips. The only problem was that they weren’t hot. But that’s a small issue because I couldn’t finish everything anyway. The quesadillas are chicken and delicious. The salsa verde was so good. As everyone can see from the photos it also came with rice and beans. Oh and a sugar cookie! So much delicious food. I will be back."

"To start, a restaurant that brands itself as a "Mexican Restaurant Embassy" comes off as quite pretentious. Perhaps that’s why it feels justified in charging some of the highest prices for standard Mexican dishes found at a chain establishment. We decided to skip the drinks since their menu didn't list any prices, which was quite frustrating. The complimentary chips and salsa sampler, however, were quite good. We both ordered the two-piece enchilada platter— I chose the cheese and beef, while my wife opted for the chicken and avocado enchiladas. All the flavors were delightful. One minor issue I had was that the rice was mixed in with the refried beans, making it difficult to keep them separate (I wasn't keen on eating all the beans). Our server was friendly and efficient, making it a solid choice considering the typical chain options available near our hotel."

"I recently visited Casa Garcia for the first time and was impressed by the delicious authentic Mexican food and attentive service. I ordered the enchiladas plate and was pleased to find that they were willing to substitute grilled vegetables for beans and rice. The homemade sopapillas were a highlight of the meal, generously sized and sprinkled with cinnamon and brown sugar before being dipped in honey. I also enjoyed watching the staff make their homemade tortillas. While I didn't try any drinks from the bar, I heard they are excellent. I look forward to returning to Casa Garcia to try their breakfast menu on my next visit to Kyle. Overall, a great dining experience that I highly recommend."

"Sorry, I ate my food before I could take pics. It's that good. My vegetarian peeps... I hate ordering fajitas and just get a plate of bland onions and bellpepers. Hands down best Toledo veggie fajitas with onion, peppers, zucchini, tomatoes it was just delicious and the sangria... have only one it will sneak up on you. The veggie chimichanga was ok but I didn't enjoy as much as the fajita. I always get the same waitress when I go and she's so friendly, cute and sweet so tip her well people! Enjoy"

"I've been going to Tex Mex for years because the food has always been consistently good and the margaritas are the best around. Sadly, last night the service was poor in that I felt like our server was an overworked diner server instead of the calm, polished server one would expect at a slightly more upscale restaurant. She was nice, but I really felt like we were being rushed along, which I hate. Before we could even decide on a cup of coffee at the end, she had our check on the table with a thanks have a nice night It wasn't that there were crowds waiting for seats. We had a reservation and by the time we were finishing the dining room was mostly empty. In addition, the special appetizer for the evening was a quesadilla del mar and it was delicious but very skimpy for One tortilla folded over and cut in very thin quarters. Overall, the prices are reasonable, but that was definitely overpriced. I'll likely go back, but I really hope they assess the wait staff a little more carefully."

"Always a great choice for family night or date night. The menu expands beyond traditional choices but each element of every plate seems to be prepared with care. The helpful, personable and attentive staff are open to changes and substitutions to ensure everyone gets exactly what they want. While the signature dishes such as the pollo con mole and shrimp relleno stand out, they never stand alone, the beans are always just right, the rice is always perfect, the vegetables always fresh. All the food for a course arrives at the table at the same time to ensure everyone is served together. Hot food is always piping hot. The details are taken seriously here and although you may not always notice at the time, they add up to make the entire experience a pleasant one."

"We stopped here on a long road trip (Bay Area to Portland and ordered carne Asada Burritos and a shredded chicken burrito to-go. The owner was really friendly, he brought us around to pick our Jarritos. My son loved that, he also gave us a promo bottle opener. We would totally love to come back sometime for a proper sit-down meal. The menu looked like they have amazing brunch. The owner also mentioned that they have a garden area where you can enjoy your meal. The carne Asada was delicious. The burrito was perfect (and huge! and nicely wrapped with paper lining inside the foil. It made it easy to eat on the road."
