We have blogged numerous times about our dining experiences in Asheville, North Carolina.

Most of our meals in Asheville have been outstanding. But, alas, we were disappointed during out last trip this past spring.

It was a short one day stay, as we were going to Charleston, South Carolina the next day.

During a walk in the Biltmore village, near our hotel, we were hungry, and we saw The Cantina.

The Cantina is a reincarnation of an earlier Mexican restaurant in the same space. When we walked in, it was open and airy.

Our server seemed friendly enough, and we placed our orders.

I ordered their Sangria, but I instantly got a headache after the first couple of sips. Now, I don't get headaches, and this was a bad sign.

Unfortunately the food that followed was bland and under seasoned. We expect seasoning in Mexican dishes, but lacking in our meal.

My increasing headache further dampened my enthusiasm for my meal.

Tammy's food was equally unimpressive.

We Skipped dessert….

We hope to head back to Asheville in the Future, and we expect to have great meals there, without headaches.

If you ate at the Cantina in Asheville, let us know. Were we right? Or are we off base?
