20 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants in Charlotte

“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.“

“Good food. Environment all right.“

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

“Great food and friendly atmosphere! Have been coming here for years!♥️“

“"There is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough fray them as we may..." Wm. Shakespeare Divinity must certainly have been in play when I happened upon this amazing spot. The odds against me being there were long... I had just escaped from the Southern Christmas Show, had to walk as wife chose to stay and spend more money. I was headed to Lupie's for some sanity and good food (walk was longer than I remembered). To say I was disappointed when I found Lupie's closed (on Sundays) is an understatement to stay the least. Thought about breaking in, but reason got the best of me. Because I had walked, I knew I was limited to what I might find, but my hope in Karma was renewed when I looked across the street and saw something called "Tipsy Burro"...and they were open. I would have settled for a seven eleven at this point, but I was intrigued by the unique look of this place. My best hopes (and beliefs in divinity) were confirmed when I walked into this cheery looking place and was cheerily welcomed by the bartender...Keely was her name I later discovered. Before I could even order, I was dumbfounded by the music I was hearing...the best classic "authentic" Texas tunes one after another. I should disclose here that I am a bigot when it comes to my love of Texas country music, and there juke box had 'em all. To name a few... Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Chris Knight, Robert Earl Keen, Hayes Carll, Ray Wyllie Hubbard, Stergil Simpson, etc. etc. etc. (and again, "thank you Jesus". Oh, I guess I should mention the food. By the time I was ready to eat, the rest of my family had left the Christmas show and showed up to join me for lunch. I would have settled for anything to hear that music, but fortunately the food was as good as the music. Authentic Tex/Mex in big portions. My whole family was happy happy. My young grand daughter loved it and was treated respectfully and gently, as all kids present were. Also have to mention that I could buy 4 beers here for what it cost for 1 at the Southern Christmas Show (Actual fact, not an exaggeration). I guess you figured by now that I will be back. I am the guy hunkered down over the jukebox pushing buttons. "May the road go on forever and the party never end." Guy Clark“

“Really great place to eat and flavors omg. This is the best service and food for Tex mex I have had since being in Reno Nevada“

“A great brunch with some of the best tortillas I’ve had.“

“Johnny Burritos was really good! 🌯 The food came out fresh, flavorful, and the portions were solid. I got a burrito loaded with rice, beans, and steak, and everything tasted well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. The place is clean, the vibe is chill, and the staff were friendly and fast with the service. Prices are fair for what you get, and it’s a great spot if you’re craving something filling and tasty. Definitely coming back again!“

“Our server was lovely and efficient, she let me taste the beer I was interested in tasting before I ordered, she refilled our salsa because we chowed down on the fresh salty chips , and our food was perfectly seasoned and hot and delicious. It was great.“

“The service was fast and everyone was friendly. And let’s not forget the food was delicious and hot.“

“We had the best experience with your great bartender Emmet . He was so fun and helpful. Food and drinks did not disappoint!“

“Ok got the triple dipper. Server was awsome to get me a street corn on it. The corn wasn't crunchy. It was just ok.
The little sliders woah!!!! Delicious.
The chicken crispers. Very juicy. Delicious. Pleasantly suprised“

“The food is amazing and the staff is the best!! They are so nice and outgoing. I would come here every week if I could!“

“Love the new and improved restaurant! So glad they were able to keep the original recipes and original vibes in a larger location.“

“Wow! Delicious! My friend and I had the lunch specials. She had the chicken sandwich (potato soup starter) and I had the smash burger(salad with blue cheese starter). Everything was fresh and at a perfect temperature. The buttery grilled bun with crispy edges was a perfect complement to the juicy, but well done burger. The fries were hot, salty, and perfect. Don’t sleep on this Chili’s location. Whoever is doing the lunch shift is masterful.“

“Great experience at Southbound! Atmosphere was immaculate coastal beach vibes, drinks are great and strong. The new Cod Ceviche could have been more finely chopped and had more flavor. I do recommend the Tacos! Prices are a little steep for bang for buck, but check their happy hours and go then!“

“Food was absolutely delicious! The restaurant is nice , clean and service was great ! Definitely recommend!“

“went to eat here at 730 pm on a Wed. walked in, the lady came up to us ( only 2 of us) and tells us there is going to be a 20 minute wait, when the resturant was over half empty. plenty of seats and tables near the bar ,but there was a 20 minute wait. why? makes no sense at all... dont waste your time going here ,doesnt seem like they wanna serve anyone I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION“

“East coast Wings is a great Establishment, wonderful environment, with a wonderful staff! Faiza is a wonderful bartender and loves catering to her guests; and I love that we are able to enjoy great cigars out on the patio! Brooke is also a wonderful District Manager! 🍻“

“My food is always delicious at Salsarita's as long as cheese is available. This is one of my go-to restaurant any location for mainly a Chicken Nacho entrée. Servers were cooperative with my choices. Prompt service as well.
