I have been here twice now and both visits have impressed me. The service is excellent - friendly and fast. The food is delicious and fresh. The menu has plenty of variety. Be sure to order some guacamole. Oh, and a house margarita too!
I was able to taste an excellent dish of breaded shrimp ... riquisisisisisimos ... !!
Sparse and spacious. Standard Americanized Mexican fare. A few west coast style items, but nothing exceeding expectations. Excessive cheese use, if that's even possible. Service was spotty, but relatively friendly. The dust on the plastic plants was balanced with the sadness on the faces of the lonely fish in the tank.
Ordered a burrito supreme and sopapillas. The chicken in my burrito was dry and the entire dish was pretty bland. I added the salsa that came with the chips to my burrito for more flavor and it just tasted like I poured tomato juice over my dinner. The sopapillas were just deep fried tortillas with a few drops of strawberry syrup and whipped cream on it. Overall it was a lackluster meal but at least it looked pretty.
About as authentic as you can ask for, and much better taste and consistency than its more popular competitors. Some fluency in spanish will gain you much favor with the staff.
Great place for Mexican food. Clean and quick, this has become my default place to go.
Great local Mexican restaurant - great food, drinks and service. This is my go to place near home as they have great lunch specials served until 3pm all week.
Great food, large portions and good customer service
I love this restaurant, I have been going for almost 15 years and they never disappoint.
I come here a lot for lunch. The food is always very good for the price. The service is typically always great as well, however on Thursday, some was off. My server seemed agitated and not focused so another staff picked up her slack. This was usual and made me feel that my business was not wanted
Food is okay, but the people are nice enough. Last time I went was during a power outage and they were very gracious and apologetic that they couldn't really serve us. Traditional "American" Mexican food that's a little on the bland side.
Authentic Mexican Cusines
The first restaurant i visited in Charlotte.
Friendly Staff
The worst. Send the chef to school. At least use a recipe. Watery sauce. Plain chicken inside of a taco wrap. Huge chunk of fat inside the beef enchilada. Just the worst Mexican food iv ever had. Amazing how someone can have all the right ingredients and ruin a dish. Reading all the people who say this is good or excellent makes me wonder if they get out much.
This is one of the best Mexican restaurants we ve eaten at. The service is always spot on. The food never misses whether it s take out or eat in. We ve had parties of 8 adults and several kids and we still get our food in a timely manner!
Oh! Their portions are awesome. Almost always need a box!
Great family oriented. Great food and service. Super friendly staff
Good prices, delicious food, generous portions, and stellar service. What's not to like!? The steak milanesa is to die for! Fajitas tejanas are absolutely fantastic as well. I love all of the little accents and different salsas and veggies on the plates too. Last thing.... Their refried beans are heavenly! Love this place!
Chicken was very dry and almost no seasoning, cheddar cheese was on everything and menu stated (and I assumed since it was an authentic restaurant) it would be Mexican cheese, salsa tasted like onions, not even a tomato taste, just onions and cheese dip tasted like velveeta
Excellent service ...Great Food...fast friendly fun place !!!
Delicious, the leftovers, 2 days later, Delicious. Customer Service was very good.
Nice people. Good Mexican food.
Food was bland seems like it came out of a microwave the interior decor is nice and festive excellent bar service
That place deserves less than 1 star. Our waitress Andrea was the worst, just focus on the Latin customers and disregard all other nationalities Food was salty, not cook properly, and our margarita drinks were watered down.
Nice sized portions and tasty salsa and chips. Menu is a little different than expected, but, definitely something for everyone.
Friendly staff and great authentic Mexican food at a fair price.
This is a hidden gem!!! Great Food!!! Wonderful Staff!!! Great Ambience!!! I loved this place.
They have a huge hat that they put on birthday people. It's hilarious
Lots of great food for cheap, fantastic and friendly service
We went there on Sunday afternoon around 1pm for lunch. The restaurant was pretty busy. The server was nice and friendly. They have us free tortillas basket and dip. It was pretty good. We ordered burrito, shrimp dish and shrimp/Octopus cocktail. The portions were perfect. The burrito was ok, pretty decent, the shrimp dish was pretty good, my husband likes it. The shrimp mix octopus cocktail... was tasty, a bit too watery to me and the shrimp was too small and a bit overcook, the octopus is all dente but tender enough to eat. We spent around 35 dollars (without tip) for all 3 meals and one beer.
My gosh was the food so ever good! And the Jumbo Margaritas too!!
Great food, ate lunch here. Generous serving. Owner on site, very friendly
Always good food and lots of it. Recently went for Mother's day. Chips and salsas are so good, nearly filled up on them. Also excellent margarita! Their rice has a nice tangy flavor, unlike the tastelessness of a lot of places.
My favorite spot for delicious Mexican food. Got there near seven, it wasn't very crowded. The staff was very welcoming and sociable. This place has a nice feel to it.
Did not get correct order,and now the rest. won't make it wright! Don't eat there, dishonest people!
This is our favorite Mexican place. Great prices and food and big portions.
Best place in town!! The staff is amazing! Who ever made them loose half a star should give them another try.
We came here because we were in the area and wanted to eat Latin food. The food and service were good. We had Steak Indio and fried mojarra.
Food is excellent. Very friendly staff. This was my second time there and I will definitely be back.
We love this place, I have been going there for years. I love the drinks here. Plus they always have drink specials today I had a blue frozen Margarita it was good. The Waiters are helpful with the menu but the food is always good and hot And they have some good deep fried ice cream...
I do not recommend this restaurant if you are Hispanic, the service is very bad and you can see the difference in how they treat other non-Hispanic people better and the food is not said I do not recommend it anymore if it is the roast dish they give 2 small pieces of meat and burned!
Rating- 0
Friendly service, great food, inexpensive. Family and friends I have introduced to this restaurant have enjoyed it.
Not great for vegetarians. Too much cheese and not enough veg.
Perfect. The only thing I can think of that we didn't care for was the heavy door to get in the place. lol
Very great service. The staffs are friendly and delicious foods
Amazing pollo con arroz and awesome strawberry daquris.
Fresh Authentic Mexican food. Great price and portions. Family friendly and awesome service.
Very long wait for take-out and saw a waterbug crawling around the restaurant during the wait.
The margarita and beer was great and so was the service.
My wife has been to this restaurant more frequently than I have. I have received such disinterested service once before at this place. Not sure what inspired such lack of interest and manners. This one is what puts me off coming here. If they don't want non-Mexican customers, then they should put up a sign to that effect. Usually get better treatment, but that one bad waitress can damage your business. I cannot fully recommend this business, because I can't be sure of what kind of service you will receive.
I paid for a $9.00 chimichanga and the chicken was bland and dry all I could manage to eat was the sides that came with my meal... worst V-day meal ever
The service and management here was the worst. Served me the wrong meal and would not change it.Said I had to pay $1.09 first. I said I would not pay till I was served the right meal...ended up going to a good restaurant.
Very good service awesome food I have been eating there for a long time many years and it always has been good The best in the city
The food was just okay, but the service was VERY friendly. The owner/manager came over during our meal to introduce herself and mentioned that she likes to make a point to know each and every one of her customers. She asked our name, made a connection of how she could remember them easily, and assured us she looked forward to greeting us by name next time. Just from observation, she really does. Before she even came to our table, you could tell this place has regulars, because she was greeting table after table by name like old friends.
I wish the food had been better. We liked the salsa they provide with the chips but the chips needed salt (and we do not usually like salty things, so that's saying something.) We ordered the Fresh Guacamole and it was good, but nothing special; just mashed avocados with some diced tomatoes and onions. We actually asked for some extra limes to add to it, and it did brighten it up some. I got the Chimichanga with the shredded beef. The filling was good, but the tortilla was actually very doughy/soggy...like it hadn't been cooked all the way through. Or like it was too thick and as a result turned "dumpling" with the juice from the filling. I ended up just cutting it open and eating the filling and leaving the tortilla. The rice and beans were okay but had very little flavor. My husband got the Deluxe Burrito and he got it with ground beef. I liked his a little better, but it still wasn't anything noteworthy.
The menu is huge, so there's certainly more options to try. And I wouldn't mind trying it again given the excellent service. But I have a feeling the service is really what makes this place so popular.
Nice place, great service, delicious food..I love eating here!
Delicious! We love Mexican food and came from the West Coast where it is super authentic and amazing. We keep trying new places and this has quickly become a favorite of ours! You won't be disappointed.
I had the shrimp casadia with salad. A wonderful experience. Planning to back again soob.
The restaurant was cold and the food was not very good
Margaritas!!! The best ....oh and the food too!!! ....and Charlie!
Good place to get a quick sit down lunch in the plaza. But the actual food is just okay
