Azul Tacos And Beer

The food and service were great! When you enter the restaurant, you order at the desk and then sit wherever you like. The staff was kind and helped us get the next available table (which didn't take long). We ordered the asada quesadilla, asada street tacos, and chips and guac. The quesadillas and tacos came with a lot of meat, very filling. The guacamole was fresh. Our favorite salsa was the pineapple one, so good! We came on Valentine's Day, and the sour cream came in little heart containers which I thought was so cute! They also gave us a free chicken quesadilla (whoever ordered didn't pick it up & it ended up being my favorite dish), definitely made our night! The overall atmosphere was nice and lively, highly recommend!

Great, friendly service! The tacos were all pretty small, but the ratio of meat to tortilla was good.Pastor Taco (4/5): Nice bend of flavors with a bit of sweetness and citrus from the pineapples. Carnitas Taco (4/5): Good flavor, but a bit dry. Asada Tacos (4/5): Decent steak tacos. Mexican Street Corn (3/5): Not my favorite. Too much citrus for me. It was also very messy to eat off the cob. *Loved the horchata. It was very thick and a bit grainy (which I enjoyed).RATING SYSTEM5 - Great (Need to get this again)4 - Good (Would get this again)3 - Ok (Might give this another shot)2 - Not Good (Won't get this again)1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

Visiting our family now living in Charlotte after we all moved from SoCal - we hit the jackpot!This restaurant: wait staff, bartenders, chefs, and owners really love the people that come in. Friendly prompt service from the owner's nephew Adrian, very helpful for first time diners here, helping us with a high chair for our grandson.Then the drinks (outstanding house margaritas), chips, salsa, and guacamole -delicious!!The mains came: Cali burrito, carne asada taco bowl, birria tacos, street tacos (al pastor, carne asada, and carnitas).WOW!! Savory, delicious, made with care! The salsa bar has a wide variety of styles of delicious salsa's.One of the owner's, Hector, came and chatted and brought us a fabulous chicken tamale that was devoured by all of us.We rapidly texted our extended transplanted family of this true gem of a find!We look forward to our next visit, and are very pleased that our kids and grandson have a new favorite spot!Muy bueno!!!!

We are in town visiting and went out to eat. We found that the pizza place was an hour + wait so we went to Azul. So glad we happened on to this place. We were greeted at the side entrance by the bartender who explained that food tables are first come first serve. So we sat at the bar. Ana greeted us immediately, provided us menu's and served us house margaritas in a few minutes. So glad we ditched the wait for pizza! House Margaritas are nicely tart and not sweet. We ordered and food was ready in a few minutes. The chicken bowl and the shrimp tacos were nicely presented and very tasty. The pricing is reasonable and the atmosphere is vibrant as the dj kept playing a good mix of dance music. In all this a no frills place with excellent service and great food. Thanks Ana for taking good care of us!

Inside is very live, does not feel like you're in Charlotte. You can see the cooks preparing your food, big jugs of agua frescas, nice bar area with good drink choices. Salsa bar with choices of salsa, limes and picked veggies. Last time one of the cooks asked if I wanted some grilled onions and I'm glad I said yes. I can't say what to try because it's all good. I've tried all the meat choices they have and they all were amazing. Highly recommend, if I lived closer I'd be there more than twice a week.

Taco Tuesday! Tacos are a dollar off on Tuesdays, which is a phenomenal deal because 2 to 3 of those babies will probably fill the average person up.I'm a big fan of Azul! My favorite thing is that they make their cocktails fresh, in-house and that really makes a difference. I think few places in the area do food and cocktails exceptionally well at the same time. This is definitely one of those places!I'm a big fan of the chips and queso as a meal of its own. It's actually become quite a problem for me and I need to go to chip-and-dip. All jokes aside, I recommend so many things on this menu: the burritos, the mulitas, the loaded nachos and more!There is parking on-site but, depending on when you go, it can be limited. Prepared to park in another lot or along the street and walk on busier days.I also feel that the food here is affordable. It really is a gem. I usually sit at the bar and the service is exceptional and the vibes in the place are overall fun.

Okay, don't tussle with me about my review lol. I did not have the same experience as most of the reviews I've read. Starting with the positive, I can certainly see why some enjoy coming here. It is local friendly, and the vibe gives an authentic hangout. Bartenders were very nice and helpful with making the best drink option based on personal preference. Now for what I did NOT enjoy. The food! I had a taco, and my daughter had the chicken burrito. It wasn't good. It was soggy and undercooked. The presentation was not appealing, and I immediately regretted my choice once I saw the food. Typically, I don't back track so it's highly unlikely of a second visit.

Cool to try a new place. We ordered one of every taco meat option (7 tacos total) and tried the chips, queso and salsa. We ordered two Tecates (cheapest beer on the menu) and finished with their strawberry shortcake tres leches. I would say for what we got, it was fairly expensive, the tacos were street tacos, so they were small and although they were good, there's a few other places to get better authentic tacos for less $. It's a quick service place, which we were expecting, but that's fine to order and pick up our own food. They have a salsa bar that had some good hot sauces, but we were a bit annoyed that when we ordered we were told if we wanted to try the salsa with our order of queso, we had to order the chips and salsa and then an order of the queso but the salsa was there at the salsa bar. Probably won't go back but glad we tried it

If you are looking for authentic Mexican, this is the place!Upon arrival, I absolutely love the outside of the building. They unfortunately did not look like they were handicap accessible. (I could be wrong) I only saw steps leading up to the front door.Once you enter, you see the open atmosphere the bar, the kitchen, and in the back is where you order. You look over the menu and make your decisions. I would definitely choose this place again if ever in Charlotte because they are authentic! My partner and I got the steak California burrito and it was HUGE!! Definitely could have shared. It was so full of rice and french fries and steak. It definitely is worth the price.I had the Quesa Birria burrito and just like the California it was packed with birria, rice, beans etc. (another one we definitely could have shared). We finally then got 2 Steak street tacos and those were absolutely delicious. The food was absolutely amazing. I cannot speak more to that.As far as the service goes, we received our food within 5 minutes (definitely not more than 8) it was pretty fast. you pretty much order your food and that's the most interaction that you have until you are leaving and they come and clean up your table unless you need something they are at the hostess stand, at the bar, or in the kitchen.I loved the open concept, it definitely looks like it's family owned and that is one of the reasons I will definitely come back!!

Best vegetarian tacos!! At Azul you order at the counter and choose your own seating. The woman taking my order recommended the hibiscus (yes, the flower) tacos when I inquired about vegetarian options. I had no idea what to expect, but they were marinated and prepared to perfection! I've only ever had street corn deconstructed, but enjoyed it being served on the cob. The fresca was sweet and refreshing as well. Service was fast & the decor was super cute and cozy!
