49 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lake Wylie

“I just came to chipotle about 20 minutes ago and ordered a honey chipotle bowl and the man who scooped the chicken has to be a gift from god. He was near the end of the pan and instead of him giving one scoop he doubled NO HE TRIPLED THAT BOWL. The lady on the register was trying to tell him that was too much but it was too late to save the protein I was about to consume and devour. To the man who made my bowl….. Thank you. They need to make a statue of you outside the establishment to acknowledge your dedication to this bowl.“

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

“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:)“

“Great time. Had a business event and lunch in their private room. Great food and good facility.“

“One of the best Mexican restaurants in Rock Hill. Excellent service and exceptional dishes. I truly love there food and atmosphere.“

“Outstanding food and service! When we made the reservation, we noted it was for my husband‘s birthday. He received a card at the table, hand signed by every member of the staff! For the level of service and food that you received, you would expect to pay so much more! The value for what is delivered is unbelievable. This is my new favorite spot when I come in for a show.!“

“The best Mexican cantina!!! Staff is incredible and food is spot on! Can’t wait to come back.“

“Hidden gem. We almost tried everything on the menu. Beef empanada, chicken arepa’s, fish taco, steak taco, carne asada fries, rice & beans, guacamole and all the salsas. They have a salsa bar with about 6 different salsas with varying degrees of heat. I like spicy but just their mild was so flavorful. I will be back!“

“Some of the yummiest ice cream in the area.“

“Foods great every time, they care about the customers, and they are so quick! Salsas is a hidden gem of Charlotte!“

“Love this place great food! And everyone is so nice❤️“

“BEST Enchiladas supreme'!! 😋“

“Finally found the BEST birria tacos in Charlotte 🔥

Coming from Winston-Salem, I was always disappointed trying to find a good spot here… until now. These tacos were insanely flavorful, perfectly juicy, and the consommé was rich and on point.

Fast, friendly service too—no long wait.

This is officially my go-to every time I’m in Charlotte thank youuuuuu!!!!!!“

“Great for lunch. The burrito I ordered was huge! Texas burrito. Mango margarita was also great on the rocks. I would go back!“

“The birria tacos were big, packed with meat and cheese, and very reasonably priced (3 tacos for $10). More importantly, the birria consomé was incredible...If my wife wasn't with me, I would've drank the remainder. Friendly staff with a sizeable menu. Can't wait to come back and try more.“

“Giving it 5 stars because every hole in the wall deserves a chance. The fajitas were delicious. The chicken and steak were juicy, however I would recommend a better shrimp be used and the veggies were amazing! Beans and rice left something to be desired.

Free chips and salsa as to be expected. Very good salsa. Not too spicy but not too bland.

If you enjoy well cooked Mexican, don't let the outside scare you from taking a chance on a very good meal.“

“Food is bustin’ the staff is friendly and helpful“

“The food and service here are amazing! You can tell the food is made fresh and the staff pays careful attention to how you want your meal made. The steak bowls are a classic and the chips and queso are addicting!! Would definitely come here again“

“Man my first experience eating here was an A+ The food was hittin on all cylinders folks👌🏽😋 The Owner is fun to talk to🎉“

“We had a great experience here. The staff easily accommodated our group of 10 for lunch on a Sunday. The food was exactly as I hoped. They even had a cheeseburger option for my picky eater. All the employees we encountered were very friendly.
Note: If you order the cheese dip, just know it seems to have bits of jalapeño in it.“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“Stopped in for dinner last night, and since it’s in a little strip mall, I’ll admit I wasn’t expecting much. But as soon as I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised. Gigantic art on the walls, high-back wooden chairs carved out of wood, it was a totally different vibe than I anticipated, and in a good way. It was Friday night around 8:00, and the place was packed. Despite that, we got a table almost immediately.

Now, I didn’t care for the salsa. It was a bit too oniony and runny for my taste, but honestly, that’s the only downside. The Birria tacos were phenomenal. The portion of meat was huge, and for around $19, it was an exceptional value. The guys I was with all ordered different things, and they were just as impressed as I was. The service? Absolutely stellar. No complaints there.

So yeah, other than the salsa not being the best I’ve ever had, it’s a minor issue compared to how good everything else was. I’ll definitely be going back.“

“Best food!! Everyone is so friendly- amazing time“

“Delicious food, friendly staff and fast service. Reasonable prices.“

“Love the chicken stackers. Staff was friendly and the food was fresh. Even though they were very busy everything was clean and in order.“

“🌮 Only 12 reviews?!? Charlotte are you crazy?!? This is an amazing taco place.

It’s a tortilleria - I got a 25 pack of fresh corn tortillas to go.

I got two carnitas tacos - double wrapped w two corn tortillas - of enormous size and proportions. Great spicy green sauce. Onions & cilantro.

I will go back. Amazing price - great value for money.

Friendly staff. Not much English - nice little buffet line.“

“consistently great authentic Mexican. Everything on the menu is delish and the staff are always friendly. No longer a food truck. The restaurant sits behind the gas station. love it!“

“It's a taco truck. Not in the best neighborhood. Right next to the airport with planes flying overhead. If you go into it with that in mind, you can focus on the food. If you focus on the food, it'll be one of the best and actually authentic Mexican food that you'll find in Charlotte.“

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

“My family loves everyone at Charanda's from the sweet hostess, waiter and waitresses, all the way to the bartenders and the GM. Nate is super friendly and he always gives us hugs when we come in. It's truly a family here. I said the bar is the modern day Cheers!! #iykyk Highly recommend the street tacos on Tuesdays!! Order soft tortilla with Pico and queso. Tell them Will and Kim sent you!“

“In town for the acc tournament. Wife wanted tacos. This place was right by our hotel. Food is good but customer service is amazing. Kenya the young lady who made our food n check us out, has great customer service skills, very polite. The owner or manager Polaine has great manager and customer service skills too, if theres a problem she will handle the problem with no issues. We will be back and recommend this place.“

“Awesome little food spot!
Stopped by and grabbed a steak burrito along with the 6 for $12 taco dostados the tacos didn’t last until the pictures were taken but everything was great! Took about 10 minutes for the food as it’s cooked on order!“

“We went in, place fairly empty, I ordered a shrimp quessidila and it came out in approx. 5-8 mins. It was the quessidila meal so large enough to cut up in to 4 slices. Tortilla wouldn't even cut with their knife and not only did the shrimp look like it hadent been heated, much less grilled. Rice was ice cold and beans as well. Told waitress and she asked if I wanted anything else in its place and I politely passed. Took my dish away and blamed it on the ventilation system that causes food to get cold, lol, no, its food that isnt cooked that is always going to be cold, all restaurants have ventilation. My wife didn't even look at the bill and the raw food wasn't even taken off the bill but the waitress got a $25 tip. Never again at this place, ever and we eat out at least 5 days a week. Bad food, it happens, but to not remove a $17.99 + tax meal with raw shrimp, cold rice and beans on the side mind you that its hard to mess up rice and beans, they can have their raw food to serve to others.“

“Chorizo tacos were amazing“

“mi recomendasion. 100%🍜“

“The food is great and the drink menu is extensive, especially the tequila options. The restaurant has a big open space with a bunch of TVs for watching sports, and is a pretty great happy hour spot. Also $6 reposado on Mondays? Yes, please!“

“This is our goto Mexican restaurant. Food is good, not outstanding, but unless we want to drive 15 to 30+ minutes it is the best option. Typically good service and decent drinks. The service and margaritas can be good, but can fluctuate based on who is working and/or running the place.“

“Grear! ZZZZZZZZXZZZXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXZXXX !!!“

“Excelente atención y la comida súper rica 100% 🤤🤤“

“All these 1 stars must be fake. Got my food in 5 mins and was delicious. Each taco in a double tortilla, and perfect sauce. The appearance of pulling up may is deceiving how delicious the food is. It's worth driving out here. Very nice and helpful staff. I will be back!“
