50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Charlotte

“Exceptional Mexican food. My carnitas taco was A+ & the tortillas were about as authentic as they get 👍🏻 I was skeptical trying another Mexican restaurant & was pleasantly surprised 👍🏻“

“Anita’s has great fajita nachos and fajitas! The chips are really crispy, and the price is affordable, and the portions are really big. The seven of us had more than enough food sharing 4 things: fajita nachos, dinner sized fajitas, eggs+chorizo, chicken quesadilla. Service is fast and the workers are nice. Sadly there is not enough seats for how popular it is, but it’s a great place to stop by for lunch during a road trip:)“

“Delicious!!!! Went with a few friends for brunch and got the breakfast tacos with chorizo. Every drink we got was perfectly done. I would recommend the watermelon margaritas. Seasonal, so make sure to get them now! 😊 Also, if you want a little more heat, just let them know.“

“My family walked here after the morning at ImaginOn and we had a delicious, quick, and fresh meal. Great value (especially for the kids meals). The service was friendly. Not too much seating, but thankfully it wasn’t busy when we were there.“

“I suggested to our HOA board that we go eat at Que Onda after our meeting this evening. They joked that you have to take a loan out to eat there... prices have increased. Still, we enjoyed their food in the past, and we like to support local businesses in our community. First, no more chips and salsa when you sit down ... not even an offering. What Mexican restaurant doesn't have chips and salsa when you sit down? And for dinner I ordered a taco salad, sans beans, cheese and pico. I subbed rice and mushrooms. I was charged $9.95 for the shell and lettuce, $3 for rice and $4 for mushrooms. I have ordered this veggie alternative for years at several places - never have I been charged $17 for a "salad". Had the waitress mentioned the upcharge at the time I ordered, I could have made a decision to go ahead or to change my order. But she NEVER mentioned the additional cost. Sadly, they lost 3 local customers tonight, as well as being one of the catering / community meetup options we were just discussing 30 minutes earlier. Be fair. Be transparent. Discuss additional costs instead of simply charging and assuming your customers want to pay extra - again, I would have changed my order. Adios Que Onda!“

Our waiter, I don't remember his name but he had a ponytail that was able to stand straight in the air LOL! He was very attentive and cool. I had the burrito and the bartender margarita. Everything was good“

“The food is so flavorful and delish! Everytime we come it is wonderful!“

“Mmmm, 🙌🏾😋 just what I needed, a large coconut margarita & trio fajitas with sizzling hot chicken, shrimp & steak with veggies, plus rice & creamy black beans, which HIT‼️‼️‼️ However, the automatic gratuity for dining in threw me off. That's why so many people were ordering to go. That automatic tip wasn't standard when I've visited in past years. But the restaurant and serving staff was still pleasant and inviting. Definitely will come back with friends.“

“My wife and I had dinner at the Charlotte location this evening. We had great service from our server Noah, who was very quick to take our drink order and provided attentive service for our entire dinner. We both ordered a Chimichangas (my wife had the chicken and I had the beef). Both were delicious, well seasoned and served hot. (fwiw) noted the staff were sweeping and cleaning the restaurant tables quickly, after a table turned.“

“Took my family and we loved every bit of it! They had what looked like a dance floor and my babies lovvvedd dancing around with the lights. The food was SOO good. Service was quick, kind and great. I would recommend to anyone who wants their Mexican fix.“

“Our server, Yael; at Taco Boy was amazing. She was so efficient, super attentive, and just carried herself so well the entire time. Everything came out right, she stayed on top of refills, and she handled everything without ever seeming stressed. You can tell she’s really good at what she does. She made the whole vibe even better — 10/10 service.“

“My husband and I went for lunch today and the food & service were absolutely incredible. 10/10 recommend!“

“Excelente servicio y la comida está exquisita 100 mexicana .“

“Simply in love with Frida's Mexica in Pineville! What an incredible experience! The food is unbelievably good — extremely flavorful, well-seasoned, full of character, and made with a care that you can feel in every bite. Everything was delicious.

The atmosphere is wonderful, super cozy, beautiful, and lively in just the right way. There was even a DJ, which made the night even more special and fun, creating an incredible atmosphere. You want to stay there for hours.

Even with the restaurant full, the service was very good. The only detail was the wait for the food, which took about 40 minutes, but honestly, when it arrived at the table, it was totally worth it.

Fantastic experience! I will definitely go back and highly recommend it. Incredible place, impeccable food, and sensational energy!“

“Good food. Environment all right.“

“Great food, great atmosphere, and great people! Their skinny margaritas are amazing and the guacamole was top notch. My family and I loved our meals. My wife has a gluten allergy and the menu clearly showed what she could eat. We also bought some amazing macarons on our way out!“

“I absolutely love this place! The staff is always kind and the food is amazing!! Highly recommend 👌 ❤️“

“I had a great experience. Justin was very helpful with the menu and even told me about the 99 cents kids meal on Wednesdays. Me and my daughter really enjoyed our food.

“Vegas Baby Vegas was the best taco I’ve ever had!“

“👍Sunday afternoon not what we were expecting. We thought it was just an average Mexican restaurant. We were seated immediately and the Server was there as we were sitting down! We ordered Guacamole appetizer and another server came with a cart and made it fresh at our table (delicious). All of our food was excellent. 4 roving troubadours playing Spanish music stopped at each table for a tune. Best of all, 3 dinners, one sangria and iced tea all came to only $79. Also, a woman comes around and asked if we wanted our picture taken at the table (for a fee). I haven't seen service, food or atmosphere like this except in the very highest end restaurants. All in all, this was an eating experience. We will be back soon. A 10/10.“

“Wow going to Como Mexico was amazing they have the best authentic mexican food in charlotte i really recommend this place is really pretty.“

“Best tacos in town!“

“I came in to try their version of Pollo fritto- fried chicken. This chicken was well marinated- fried to perfection and the sauces- 1 avocado salsa and 1 salsa picante were heavenly 😋 they underestimated me as they were unaware I am fluent in Spanish so I quickly changed the interaction ordering my food in Spanish and we both smiled and chatted while I waited for my food. This place is so welcoming and warm with great authentic dishes and I love the fact they make tortillas from scratch! The taste is so much better and natural!“

“We just had a beer and got guacamole and chips to go while waiting on a dinner order next door ! Will definitely go back and update with pictures !“

“Good delicious everything clean good people“

“What a Fantastic Burrito! The line moves fast and the experience is unique. Chris greeted everyone with a smile and explained the options and the process. This place has fresh meats and vegetables whether you get a burrito or bowl. The flavors blend well as you can taste the quality. I got a large burrito, there was so much food in one tortilla I was surprised it was able to close. I opted for a local root beer by Uncle Scott's and was pleased with how good it is. There is plenty of seating in the atrium above and it's no wonder everyone speaks highly of this place. Amazing place to get lunch.“

“Es un lugar bastante seguro y con buen ambiente, la atención de su personal es excelente y los dueños siempre están al pendiente de que estés bien atendido. Hay variedad en cócteles y se puede encontrar cervezas de distintas marcas, la comida es de muy buena calidad y sabor. Un lugar totalmente recomendado para los que gustan de seguridad y buena atención.“
