Been in charlotte for a couple years coming from California and trying many Mexican restaurants around here and these are my far the best tacos I’ve have. The meat was tasty and the pepper and onion they serve with it was splendid. Plus they were fairly priced so that’s even better. I would 10/10 come here again just for the tacos!

We was seated as soon as we walked in the door! Chips and salsa were amazing especially the spicy salsa. We both got the quesodilla dinners and they were super good! Will be back

It was my first time coming here, my friends had been here before and had mentioned good things. I got sat and waited for someone to greet me, no music was playing so it was a little awkward. Anyways the "server" comes to the table and tosses a bowl of chips on the table while having a phone conversation on his AirPods. I snacked on some chips and salsa waiting for my friend. The spicy salsa was good and a little smoky, not bad. The mild salsa tasted like a pizza sauce and wasn't my favorite. My friend arrived and we waited for 15 minutes for ANYONE to come take our drink order. I looked around just trying to find anyone to help us, the man who was supposed to be our server... I can't make this stuff up.. was laying across a table and chair still having his phone conversation while gnawing and biting a cap on a hot sauce bottle that was on a table meant for customers. After not getting any service and being grossed out we left to go to 3 Amigos.

Service was terrible. Waiter couldn't remember my order. Also, the chicken tacos were despicably disgusting. I ordered a Mexican lemonade & a shot of don julio on the side. These idiots mixed my shot in with the drink & wanted to charge me for it. Never coming here again !!! We desire authentic Mexican cuisine not mediocrity.

Food was was amazing but the one waitress we had was extremely rude, she had a attitude the whole time. Before we got a table she was standing there and didn’t even greet us, when we ordered our food she had a attitude and she made the atmosphere negative.

My favorite "hole-in-the-wall" restaurant in the area. Service and food never disappoints. Always delicious and always served friendly, I recommend this place to everyone!!

The food was not authentic so if your looking for that this is not the place. Ordered the barbacoa tacos and it did not taste like barbacoa… more like shredded beef. When I asked if they gave me the wrong item erroneously they said they did not. I asked why it didnt taste like barbacoa and was told thats the way they do it here. They did offer to get me something different but i dont like to waste food. I just know i wont be ordering the barbacoa ever again.

Absolutely a "you get what you pay for" kind of place. $13 margarita pitcher was weak, but at least it was cheap! $9.99 enchiladas verdes were fine. Not much verde sauce on them and overall the food left much to be desired.

This is the best Mexican place in Charlotte in my humble opinion.

Used to come here in the past. Checked in with my wife and two daughters and was greeted with excessive attitude from little man papi upfront. Disrespected my beautiful family by throwing down menus and then proceeded to stare me down. I asked him if there was a problem and he just stared at his iPad like a toddler and a coward. Noticed he had done it to the people in front of us prior to doing it to us. Sanitation score was the final nail in the coffin. Went to Mi Pueblo’s and it was great.
