Continental Divide is a small, friendly restaurant known for its great food, service, and music, although the volume can be quite high. It is recommended to arrive early for dinner to secure a table due to limited seating. The restaurant offers an extensive tequila and mezcal list and is popular for their classic margaritas, innovative Tex-Mex cuisine, and friendly staff. Recent reviews highlight the incredible black bean nachos, which are considered some of the best in a long time, and the Carnitas, described as crispy, sweet, and spicy deliciousness. The House Margarita is praised for being perfectly sweet. The restaurant is a local spot with limited tables, and while booths can sit 4 to 6 people if they are friendly, space is tight once full, and waiting may be necessary. It is always busy and packed, making it a real Charlottesville gem. The nachos with chili are large and shareable, topped with good chili and a big serving of guacamole, which is a favorite part for many. The atmosphere can be loud, and the beer list is somewhat limited compared to the extensive tequila selection. Despite the crowd and noise, the staff is friendly, and the food consistently receives high praise.
