I do not recommend. The food was extremely bland and not even seasoned. The service was bad too. Our waitress didn’t come back after taking our order to refill our drinks or anything. Stay away. It’s expensive and not worth it. Such a disappointment :(

Ordered the Carnitas and Chicken Quesadilla! YES and YES!!!! Can’t wait to come back here and try more dishes!

Patio dining very nice overlooking walking paths along water

I have ordered here several times thinking that that next time will be better than the last…… NO every-time I order out from here my order is wrong!!! This will officially be the last time I order from here. I spent $63 for me to get home…. Once again with the wrong order as well as missing items. SMH… my husband really likes the food here… but this has done it for me!!!! I will never come back to this restaurant. $63,,, I can cook my family a meal for that,, with no complaints!

Generally the food is very good, however every single time I've come in, at least one person on the wait staff is just wildly rude. Very recently, some guy at the cash register just started trying to intimidate me unprovoked by staring me down while I was eating lol. I mean literally crossing his arms and raising his chin at me unblinking from across the room. It's ridiculous. In the past another guy on the front end pretty much rolled his eyes at me for picking up food I ordered. Another time, my waitress was actively treating me like an annoyance for being there. I have also definitely seen them casually stand around myself and others to eavesdrop and make comments to each other. Really damn weird. Again, great food, there ARE cool people working here from what I can tell, but yeah.

I was there for dinner. I had the prettiest girl I had ever seen in my life take care of my table... service was excellent food was really good and the mango margaritas were on point. Without a doubt, my favorite restaurant in all Charlotte. Thank you, Carolina we be coming back soon.

An excellent place to enjoy many tasty dishes

Long waiting time, more than 30 minutes and in the end the food did not taste good, terrible experience. If you are Mexican I do not recommend it

We came as a family, and the experience was very nice, it is a family atmosphere, very good service, very attentive so I will return

The manager was absolutely AMAZING!! He was extremely accommodating and the staff was kind and courteous. In addition to receiving stellar customer service, the food was very fresh, very flavorful and tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for authentic Mexican cuisine.
