La Unica Bar & Grill

My friend and I decided to check this place out before the concert that literally around the corner. It's a pretty big bar snack in the middle of the restaurant. I loved that. The bartender and server were very friendly. My drink cocktail was pretty good and my tacos were good. This is a good spot for big groups to hang out at, and it's perfect for those attending shows in the area.

This came came for my birthday celebration on a Friday. Was a much more livelier crowd, for sure. Ended up getting a table, and if you get a Birthday VIP table, you get a complimentary bottle of champagne. The vines were awesome, as always. Service was definitely great, and music on point! Definitely love this spot and will for sure keep coming here!

This place turns into a night club on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Love the hip Latin music. During the day it is a Mexican restaurant and at 11 PM the kitchen closes and the nightclub opens. The only thing is parking. You have to park all the way at the parking and deck and walk quite a ways to La Unica.

The mood was chips & salsa + margaritas. The mood was fulfilled but the experience was not great. Cheap food? Yes. Good food? No. Everything we had was either bland (no flavor whatsoever) or cold. Usually the service makes up for the lack in dishes but not in this case. An empty restaurant on a Tuesday night and we were checked on once throughout the whole meal. The best part about our visit was most definitely the margarita flight! Tuesday nights you get 5 mini margaritas for $25.99. Chips & salsa were decent. We also started with the queso- which came out in chunks and was cold. I'm very low maintenance when it comes to queso (because who doesn't love cheese) but to not even be somewhat warm in temperature was disappointing. I loved all the combo options on the entree menu and maybe I ordered the wrong thing but it was terrible. No flavor, no seasoning and cold. I believe I got #9 which was an enchilada & chile relleno. Do NOT recommend. My taste buds were so sad leaving this place. Absolutely no love or pride was put into the food. If you're looking for a place off the beaten path and just need some quiet time to catch up with a friend over drinks and chips & salsa- this is a decent option. I highly recommend coming in with the expectation that the food will not be great.

We came here before a concert & were sat quickly and our food and drinks came out in good timing. I would have preferred if the waitress came to refill waters and that was really only thing I can complain about. My tacos, skinny margarita and the table salsa were incredibly good. The table salsa definitely had a kick to it & the flavor was so good. I got a regular size marg which I didnt realize was super small so I think the pricing is a little high. Overall good experience but the reviews are imitating, i would still come back and get the same thing probably.

Stopped by after a concert and the waitress was very rude to myself and a few other black people. Basically ignored some guys to laugh with his fellow Hispanic friends felt nasty. The taco lady kept harassing black ppl for food tickets while letting others come back for more without one- i watched this with my own eyes. Won't be returning

Do not recommend to anyone. If you are not Hispanic they will not care for you. I came in after a concert on a Tuesday, place was dead and the service was still horrible. Took twenty mins to get two waters!! Meanwhile the table next to us seems like they were familiar with the staff, playing around, joking and laughing it up. People that were seated already eating getting up going outside, ordering shots getting served before our orders were even taken. This place seems like it's family run and that's all they care about is family when the customer should matter more.

Hey Family! This is my second time checking out this place when I'm in Charlotte. It's super convenient when you are attending a performance nearby. I had tickets to the Comedy Zone next door for Luenell (which was amazing, check her out if you can). My friend and I got there early to get a quick bite before the show. They do open later in the afternoon around 4 and I didn't realize that until later. They did seem a little unprepared but we didn't wait too long. But I did side eye them a little. Overall the food and drinks were great. I got a regular sized pineapple margarita and grilled fish tacos. The Margarita was great and I loved it had a tajin rim. It was definitely tequila in the drink and I appreciated that. The fish tacos were very flavorful and it had pico de gallo and slaw. The touch of lime juice made it even better. If you're in the area for a performance nearby in Charlotte at the Avid Music Exchange, check them out.

Food was excellent, service was a tad slow so give yourself time. We went before a concert at the Fillmore. Good, authentic Mexican music to go with the decor. This place worked out great for a little pregame and dinner before a show, definitely would go back next concert!

Avoid this restaurant. Seems like they were about to go out of business.We had a party of 10 prior to a concert. Place was not busy. Service was slow. Draft beers were out. Ran out of guacamole (?!?) At a Mexican restaurant, just after they opened.Prices on many of our checks differed from what was on menu.Poorly run establishment.
