La Preferida Mexican Restaurant

I've had delivery from this restaurant before, but dining in is an incredible experience. The bright colors and charming interior make you feel right at home. The service is excellent and the food is so full of freshness and flavor that you will be wanting to come back the next day for more. The food here is crave-able. I'm already addicted. This is my new favorite spot for Mexican.

Well... sometimes South Blvd can be a pain! Good news , if you find yourself on the end of a hit and run accident near La Preferida they will quickly serve you to-go so you can at least have a dinner in your car waiting for Charlotte's finest to come out to give you a police report! Seriously though, I am so appreciative of the amazing friendly service and warm reception of the host as well as super delicious tacos, quesadillas, guacamole and cold bottled soda. This made the perfect solution to a tough night and I can't wait to come back to try more! Check this place out, they have Taco Thursdays and have real authentic flavors that remind me of Californian Mexican food. They are very attentive and everything out of the kitchen looked beautiful.

I came in for the one dollar tacos on a Thursday. They have fast service I was approached as soon as I walked in everything seems fresh and authentic. I see families in here and groups of friends so you can pretty much bring anyone. It is very reasonably priced and the margarita was OK. My only issue was that you did not get the opportunity to see what you pay for, they do not have proper receipts. I paid cash and card. The receipt comes out if you pay with a credit card, but doesn't show what you actually had on your tab. I had three shrimp tacos, which was only a dollar and a margarita which was 1150 total came out to be 18 so were the tacos now $1.50 and you had a tax, I don't know either way. It was a decent hole in a wall.

This one of my go to Mexican restaurants on the south side of Charlotte. Great portion sizes and consistently good food every time! This restaurant is also on Doordash if you are feeling lazy like I often do.

I was craving some Mexicana so I stopped at the first place I found . Yes it looked a little divey from outside. Yes it looked a lot old inside but I was giving the place a shot. I ordered taquitos . It came with lettuce beans rice and a tomato with a dollop of a avocado on top. I have to say kindly none of it was great. The meat ( beef) in the taquito was salty and not great. The chicken taquito was just okay. The rice was orange. It didn't taste great - so I passed on eating it. The beans were just salty and not good. The tea was half & half and I remember thinking maybe I was having an off day to be this dissatisfied with the entire experience - even the tea. I politely got my check and decided to go up front to pay. It was there that it all made sense. There on the wall - away from everything else .... It read GRADE B. 85 ... oh lord . I missed it on the way in . Yikes . So there you have it . A grade B lunch . Exactly what I was thinking. No Bueno mi Amigo No Bueno

We were in from out of town and met some friends here. Food was so good and loved the $1.50 taco night! I had the shrimp burrito and it was great! They didn't skimp on the shrimp! Friends had the tacos and loved them! Our service was great and food arrived quickly! My only complaint was that the music was so loud it made it difficult to talk. We will be back though!

BEST LITTLE " hole in the wall restaurant " so cute on the side decorated so cute ! Looks like a little fiesta going on ! They bring chips to you dine in only for complimentary chips and salsa , they are always so nice in here and very quick with food literally but usually I only get the Lengua tacos which is cow tongue to each it's own . Anyways very authentic tacos but they do have an option to dress them up more if you want sour cream or etc , corn tortillas are fresh and homemade not those store brought craps ! I know when I was pregnant I took a chance and ordered them on DoorDash and everything was still hot when it came to me . I've pretty much had everything on there menu and desserts , everything is made to order and it's a real BANG for your buck especially when I ordered on DoorDash I would spend maybe $15 or less and using DoorDash that's a steal ! Cute place to order to go or just have a cheap date night because they do have beer and margaritas not a full bar or anything but I know they get fun at night and have music blasting 10/10 every-time ! Tacos are also $1.50 on Thursday and if you are far from south Blvd I say it worth the drive . My meal today was $10.63 .

What a bad experience, we ordered 14 tacos from Esteban, supposedly at 1.00 and the bill was wrong, they charged $27 dollars and a guacamole the size of a salsa was $7.50, it doesn't make sense, at the time of paying, how dishonest, I will not return and I do not recommend this place.

Their carne asada burritos and agua frescas are delicious! They're always packed when we go but never a long wait. Good food, good service.

I ordered as carne asada torta. it was really good. It reminded me of California Mexican food. The service was really fast efficient I definitely recommend this to anybody.
