Deserves no stars! DO NOT EAT HERE bug infestation! 3 of us went for dinner, we got the rib eye, 3 crunchy tacos, and pork roast in tomatillo sauce. The roast pork was the best, my rib eye was actually a flank steak cut thin and cooked way to long! No seasoning tasted like cardboard/leather! NOW TO THE TACOS! What mexican resturant can mess up tacos? They did apparently there was an infestation of large black hard bugs in their cheese! 2 of the three tacos had them in the tacos, we showed it to the waiter and he took the one taco away, after she had already ate one! as we were digging through the last taco, another one! One taco eaten with extra protein, the waiter assured us he would take care of it on our bill! Hr was so generous he took off 1 taco for our trouble! Was not good to begin with and insult to injury, paying for infested food! Not to mention the gnats and flies everywhere, there are not many options to eat in Cherokee, definitely skip this one! Still do...

Visited last week (March 2016).

Two distinguishing statements about this place. 1] Its cleanliness rating was 96.5. 2] The toilets are VERY clean.

Food is good. Salsa was the worst salsa tested so far. The Salsa Roja was 100 times better than salsa they served. The way chorizo taco were served was the best noticed to the date (taco filled with chorizo meat, salsa roja and cilantro & onions separate). The pork in green salsa sauce was indeed a tasty option. I believe the meat was undercooked. However, the important factor was none of the preparation had excess oil - very important. The attendant and the cashier were the same person. Despite that, the service was quick. The tortilla chips were really ordinary (they should improve on that).

It is worth visiting on multiple occasions provided they maintain 95 cleanliness rating. They may be able to modify a menu item to your preference (flexibility towards...

Id give 0 if possible. Must skip eating here. The first 2 times the food was amazing. This time it was BEYOND HORRIBLE. ACUTAL FOOD SICKNESS. First off we told them up front we wanted our food to go but would like to have a drink and some chips while we waited for our food. The server was beyond rude about this situation. I ordered queso and he never brought it. Never refilled our beer or chips and salsa. (I'm a good tipper and left 10.00 on a togo order.) Once we got our food and went back to our room (because our fur baby was with us hence the togo) No cutlery no sauce and one tiny bag of chips for 3 people. The food was unedible. 2 bites and threw it away. Then spent all night on the toilet. I work in the food industry and I usually give good reviews but this was beyond unexceptional. As much as we goto cherokee I will never go there again. I RECOMEND you...

We stopped here during our little vacation for my daughter's birthday. The food was so delicious I couldn't stop eating it! I got the chimichonga. It was so good I can't even explain it. Full of deliciousnous. I mean there was juice coming out of the chimichonga that tasted like paradise!! It was filled with meat and some vegetables just the right amount. I was embarrassing myself eating like a pig and moaning because it was really that good! Everyone else with me loved their food too. The service was on time and perfect. Then they brought my 7 yr old a birthday desert and dabbed a little dot of whipped cream on her nose very delicately and put a kid sized sombrero on her head and sang Happy birthday to her. It was just super nice. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!! ALSO I RECOMMEND THE CHIMICHONGA!! And yes, they bring chips and salsa!!

We were on vacation in Cherokee and decided on this Mexican restaurant. I thought it was great. I ordered, i think it was called, tacos de asada and it was delicious! My husband got a big pile of steak nachos and we were both stuffed. The staff was very attentive so the service was excellent. For the other reviews complaining about the quesadilla being a large chicken taco, that's exactly how it is represented in the picture on the menu. So if those reviewers made assumptions about the quesadilla being like all other quesadillas, it's not like they're misrepresenting it. So I'd say its on them not the restaurant lol.

So we are travelling from Texas, didn't really want to try Mexican food here but other restauranta in town don't appear to be appetizing anyways. Was pleasantly suprised. We ordered Chile Verde and Chile Colorado, both were great. The pork in Chile Verde was spot on, tender and juicy almost sweet, guess it's NC afterall! Only one downside for me, both dishes were on the saltier side to my taste. So if you like lighter taste like I do maybe aske them to throw in less salt or sauce. There seemed to be locals diningin as well not just tourists. Great service too.
