Mexican Restaurants in Arden

“The reviews on this place are spot on. I can't explain how good the tacos are. This is no white duck fancy tacos. This is simple Mexican street tacos. Corn tortillas, cilantro, onion, lime, filled with the usual pastor, asada, etc....don't let the appearance of this place throw you off. If you want quick amazing tacos this is the place. My wife and I have picked up tacos to go 2 times in the last 10 days. I keep meaning to take a picture but the truth is we eat them so fast I can't. I'm sure we will get them again soon and I will take a picture before the deliciousness of tacos is gone.“

“Absolutely love this place! I love the cauliflower tacos, veggie enchiladas and chile relleno. My partner loves the fish, salmon and shrimp tacos, and the breakfast burritos. The family that runs it are very friendly and everything is made fresh to order.“

“Stopped here on our drive thru the area for a quick lunch. The tacos Al pastor were good and my husband enjoyed his steak burrito. Cheese quesadilla was good for the little one. Yummy authentic Mexican food if that’s what you’re craving. 2 tacos were very filling. Only complaint is the outside seating area (picnic tables) had a lot of trash and bottle caps laying around… an easy fix to up the atmosphere.“

“I had breakfast Sunday morning at Abuela's Little Kitchen in Arden on Long Shoals Rd. "Abuela" means grandmother in Spanish and it felt like she was in the kitchen cooking! The food was wonderful and the service was exceptionally good! My server came immediately after I was seated and at all the appropriate intervals. She was pleasant and checked to see if everything was okay after I ate a couple of bites of food. The owner came by to see if I enjoyed my breakfast. All of the booths were full and the restaurant was fairly busy. They are open 7am-3pm and serve breakfast and lunch. There are a lot of choices with a Mexican flare, as well as American traditional items, like bacon eggs, grits, pancakes and French toast. I ordered Abuela's Sweet Combo with scrambled eggs, bacon and home potatoes with a choice of pancakes, French toast or crepes. It was delicious! I also had coffee. The owners have also introduced a new concept called Abuela's Cravings down the road at 200 Julian Lane, with Mexican street food, tacos, tortas, burritos and more. Open 11am-8pm. I can't wait to try it!“

“Incredible food! They literally make the tortillas when you order using a giant press and then throw them on the flattop! The meat was super flavorful and tender. Plus my burrito was very well made with an even distribution of meat and beans and cheese, which meant every bite was maximum yum! This burrito rivals ones I've had in Colorado and California. Highly highly recommend!“

“Delicious food! Wonderful staff!“

“Definitely a Mexican restaurant. The price was great and the service was very good as well. Very friendly and helpful. My food was outstanding. My wife said hers was not great, but good. ? Overall a nice atmosphere and dining experience.“

“My all time favorite restaurant. I have been coming here for over a decade! They are family owned with the kindest staff and have excellent service. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu; everything is absolutely delicious and there are many options! Fair prices, quick & easy, great staff, family friendly, convenient location.. can't get any better!“

“Finally got I finally try this place out after driving past it for years, and I was thoroughly impressed. I got a massive custom made to order burrito chips in a drink for 12 dollars. This thing was packed to the max and it was well made and folded. I'd say it's the top burrito joint in Asheville between the low price, huge portions and authentic quality and skillfull Mexican service.“
