Mexican Cuisine in the Mountains of North Carolina

Soy interesado en el alimento mexicano. Papas and Beer es un restaurante mexicano muy bueno en North Carolina. Estos son algunas fotos y la información de Papas and Beer. 

I first went to Papas and Beer five years ago with my boy friend Brett Hodges. At that time in 2005 Papas and Beer only had one location. Since 2005 Papas and Beer has grown and opened three new locations although the original location on Highway 25 of Hendersonville North Carolina is the most popular. Owners Lary Huerta and Victor Huerta grew the company by bringing California style Mexican Cuisine to the mountains of North Carolina. By bringing authentic mexican family recipies to the Huerta family has became a local favorite. I joke to say that I will have my wedding reception at Papas and Beer and it may not be too far from the truth. In fact my future mother in law had her wedding reception at Papas and Beer, it was a memorable event to say the least. 

What make this restaurant so amazing are the fresh ingredients that they use and the little details. For example, before the meal a waiter or waitress brings you homemade bean dip and chips. They also have a wonderful salsa bar and of course it is free. My favorite salsa on the menu are the yellow and green barrachas, which are incredibly spicy and flavorful. Anything you order on the menu will be excellent but, Sizzling Enchiladas is the best! They serve this dish on a cast iron skillet that they use to cook three enchiladas on. When you receive this dish it will come to you actually sizzling and bubbling with cheesy goodness. 

The authenticity and friendly atmosphere makes Papas and Beer the best Mexican restaurant on the East Coast. I have included some pictures of my meal this afternoon.
