El Tesoro | Cocina Mexicana & Tequila Bar

El Tesoro sits in Downtown Asheville, a Mexican kitchen and tequila bar that has built its following the slow way — word of mouth from people who feel like they've found something. The food carries a homemade quality, and the margaritas and tequila-driven drinks have developed a reputation of their own. Service gets singled out often, and the room reads as welcoming rather than formal, the kind of spot suited to a casual night in over a wide menu.
