La Autentica

A big place that feels welcoming and cozy. Probably because the staff was so very friendly and attentive. Tamie to our bartender made the most perfect skinny Margaritas and the mgr checked on us throughout the evening making sure we we happy with her food recommendations. the chilie poblanos were perfect and the food came hot and well presented. The complementary chips and salsa were warm and the salsa was the right amount of well seasoned heat. The mgr had her daughters name on necklace so I didn't catch it but she and Ramiro made us feel at home and we can't wait to go back

The staff and service are off the charts, as well as the bar and atmosphere. As a pescatarian, I have been able to find several tasty dishes. And also have plenty of food to take home.

This place is Amazing!!! The food was Great, The service was even better! The robot was cool to watch bringing out food for some tables!!! I believe this is my new favorite Mexican Restaurant! We went for lunch, but I will definitely be back for Dinner sometime soon!!!

We were so glad to see this beautiful building occupied once again. We arrived, and there was a 20 minute wait, so we headed to the bar for some delicious margaritas. We were offered chips and three salsas to enjoy while waiting. The bartender was great. Once seated, our server Eileen was awesome. We ordered and had a great dinner with plenty of leftovers. We enjoyed our visit and definitely will return. Our friend ordered the margarita flight. It looked amazing. I wish I had taken a photo. The restaurant was packed, and people seemed to enjoy the restaurant as much as we did.

We were pleasantly surprised at the excellence of service and variety of food and drink options for our party of eight. The decor is fun and mostly tasteful. We will return.

Incredible food, fair pricing, and robots bring your food out. Yeah, I said what I said. Great atmosphere, not too loud, and it's really cozy, if you're picking up what I'm putting down. You won't be disappointed

Start with positives, the building is great, and the service was quick and attentive. We had a traditional margarita, obviously made with a mix so quite sweet. Then we had the ACP, and the carnitas dinner. The ACP the Chicken tender but there barely any sauce, and the sauce we found was very milky and super thin, so overall dish was very dry. The carnitas dinner was bland and not balanced over 2/3 of plate is rice and refried beans more rice than beans the last 1/3 was lettuce and the carnitas, the tortillas we gummy from being steamed to long so they completely stuck together. Unfortunately overall it just ended up being an adequate chain restaurant, not the worst but certainly not close to the best.

Food was tasty but the value for the money was not there, I got the fajitas and there was 2 times the veggies than there was meat. With my fajitas I was supposed to get tortillas, when those never came out I asked the server for them, no problem. At the end I look at my check and he had charged me for the tortillas. All around far from the best Mexican food in Hickory. The only cool thing is seeing the robots that bring out the food.

Some of the best salsa!I love how they give you both the hot and mild! Food was good. Great service at the bar and the robot is awesome!!

Just left La Authentico what a beautiful place, our server Junior was on top of everything and checked in on us. We will be going back. Nachos were 10.75 and we were very full
