Hacienda El Rey Indian Trail is a hidden gem in South CLT, known for amazing Mexican food and fast, friendly service. The fajitas taxanas remain a favorite, featuring generous portions of steak, chicken, and shrimp perfectly seasoned. The charming atmosphere includes hanging plants, and the accommodating staff enhances the experience. Guests can enjoy both mild and spicy salsa with chips, and the birria dishes continue to be a must-try. While the food is generally A+ and delicious, some drinks like the margarita and tamarindo agua fresca may be overly sweet. Most of the menu is excellent, but some dishes, such as the taco salad, might disappoint with too much meat and little lettuce. Recent reviews mention that the arroz con pollo and combo platter are tasty, while the quesabirria tacos received mixed feedback. The chicken El pastor tacos had issues, with one diner finding the chicken sour. Despite some food inconsistencies, the staff remains friendly and the restaurant continues to be a favorite for many in Charlotte. On special occasions, they even feature live music, making it a great spot for Mexican favorites and seasonal cocktails. Plenty of parking is available.
