Customer Reviews

My dearest friend and I were driving home from Asheville, and we wanted good Mexican food not far off our route. As a child living in New Mexico, so many of the good Mexican restaurants were small "dives," much like the Henderson Mexican Restaurant, that I was instantly taken back to 65 years ago... Let me tell you, this little restaurant did not disappoint us! Both their green and red salsas was unbelievably delicious, with the perfect amount of heat and fabulous flavor. My (vegetarian) cheese enchiladas, with rice and beans were some of the best I've had in years! Ellen ordered the tacos and honestly, I don't think I can remember a meal where we both ate everything off our plates, it was that good. Added to the delicious fare, that the family was friendly and courteous, the service was faultless and the restaurant and bathroom were very clean, and well, what's not to love?!?! If you find yourself in Henderson, NC, and are in the mood for an authentic Mexican meal, off the beaten path, look no further than the "Henderson Mexican Restaurant!" Great tasty food, wonderful people, clean and a fair price!
