Very nice people. Authentic food. I went there for Taco Tuesday when the street tacos are $1.49 if you go let Jose know Vanessa recommended you to stop in. They have menudo on weekend and a variety of taco, burritos and plates. Try their homemade juices it $5 for giant cup of freshly prepared juice. It's delicious 😋. I like the cucumber pineapple juice 🥤😋

This is a small Mexican restaurant, but it’s truly a hidden gem. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a cozy feel that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal. The service is excellent—friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. Everything about the place feels personal, like they genuinely care about their customers. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for good food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere.also tacos are $1.50 tuesday and Thursdays!

AUTHENTIC and incredibly delicious cuisine, amazing and friendly service, and inexpensive!! If you want the local experience, look no further (the Chicken Mole was incredible, but surprisingly better was the bbq goat - yes, goat! a must try!! And in-house, freshly made tortillas and original drinks crowned the experience. Highly recommend!)

Super authentic taco’s, the best in Charlotte. Catered to those who love the real deal and not the lightly seasoned bs that some local folks prefer.

To all my Texas and NY folks, this is what you want. Don’t sleep on the juices either!

Found this spot on TikTok and it definitely lived up to the hype. They’ve got a $1.50 Taco Tuesday and Thursday special, and the tacos are actually a solid size, no skimping here. We tried every flavor and they were all super flavorful and tasted authentic. Honestly, they were great on their own, but once you hit them with the sauces? They somehow become even better. They had 4 or 5 different ones with totally different vibes, but the green one was the best imo

Customer service was top-tier too. The guy taking my order suggested the Watermelon Agua Fresca and it was exactly what I needed on a hot Carolina day—refreshing, naturally sweet, and tasted like it was just made.

Already planning my next trip back to try more of the menu. If you haven’t been yet, you’re seriously missing out!

Finally got time to stop by Ely. Awesome staff, answered all my questions and let me sample all the Agua fresca too. We got the enchiladas and tacos, both were great and the salsas are fresh and flavorful. Got to sit outside at the picnic tables. We'll definitely be back.
