Que Onda Tacos University

I have never had a bad experience at que onda. I've been here at least five times in every single time it's delicious. Highly recommend the short rib dish, last time I had fajitas and all of the sides were amazing, the plantains are always sweet and juicy, I just love it all around. It's decorated really well and this is a great place to go for drinks after work or a good time with your friends it's large enough to take a nice size group as well.

Not a bad place at all. It's your standard Mexican restaurant. I came for brunch and ordered queso, tropical mimosas, and breakfast tacos.The queso was good and the chips tasted fresh. I found myself just eating the chips because they were perfectly salted and not super oily like I've had at other places. The mimosas were really good! I got more of a pronounced passion fruit flavor, but it was still tasty. The highlight was the machacha and bacon egg and breakfast tacos (forgot to take a pic, paid on a separate ticket). They were super fresh and stuffed to the brim. My favorite was the machcha because the beef, cheese, and onions was AMAZING! The regular menu looks really good, so I'll be encouraged to try lunch/dinner options. I would recommend this spot to others. I would probably come closer to opening time because I know it gets busy.

We came during lunch and it had just opened so it was quiet and intimate. Food was fresh and hot, tasted authentic and full of flavor. Service was impressive and bar tender was heady handed with the drinks, just how I like it

Not impressed. May give it another try though. I was in town for a girl's weekend visiting some friends who live in the area. We were craving Mexican so my friend suggested to go here since she's been before. This location is in a shopping center and parking available, but for on a Friday night it was busy and crowded. The restaurant itself wasn't crowded though. The restaurant isn't large, but it's roomy enough. We were set and greeted quickly. We wanted to order drinks, but our server wasn't able to understand what we were asking for (I wanted a Paloma and my friend wanted a Mexican mule - basically a Moscow Mule with tequila instead of vodka). We ended up just ordering water from our server and then going to the bar to get our drinks. Luckily we were sat right in front of the bar and the restaurant is rather small. The drinks were good. We were wondering about chips and salsa and noticed that they weren't free. My friend said they used to be, but not anymore. Although it's only about $2 I still prefer Mexican restaurants to have free and unlimited chips and salsa. Not a huge thing, but definitely preference for me. I was not a fan of the salsa at all...it had a smoky flavor, but it was far too smoky for my liking. We barely ate any of it. I ordered the Taco Combo with 3 different tacos: Chicken Birria, Crunchy shrimp, and Brussels with chorizo. The portions for the tacos were good. The Crunchy shrimp was my favorite. The Chicken Birria was ok, nothing special. The Brussels with chorizo was a huge disappointment. I thought it was something different and interesting, but wouldn't order this again. The chorizo was good, but the Brussels were mushy and not flavorful. Overall, not great, but maybe an off day. Probably won't return.

We went here after work for a business dinner. The foods our group had were all great. Service was prompt and attentive. With that said, this is geared toward bar atmosphere instead of a business group. The music was incredibly loud even though it was before 5 pm. We were having a tough time having conversations. So if you are a casual group looking for good foods and loud music to hang out, definitely go here. If you are a business group, probably not. They do not appear to want business customers here.

Que Onda is always a vibe. The food and drinks have not disappointed. This is my fifth time visiting here since I came for a Yelp Event last year! Cucu Melon is my favorite drink although it is hard to actually choose a favorite. I like the design of the cup as well. I don't think that I posted my last review so I am going to just combine my last visit with the visit that I had on Saturday and give this restaurant five stars the owner Paula is amazing and so are her employees. I have only visited the university restaurant. I haven't ventured out to the other two yet.

Que Onda is a fav when it comes to Mexican in the Charlotte area! I will say I'm sad to see that chips and salsa are no longer complimentary, however I do understand the rising costs of food. The salsa tastes completely different. It tastes like a spicy canned tomato paste versus the fresh salsa I had grown to love. Over the years frozen drinks have also been removed from the menu. The food is still good and I would still recommend. I am just hoping they will not continue to change all the things I have grown to love over the years.

Chips and queso as I grabbed drinks with a friend. The restaurant was quaint. It wasn't too busy but it picked up as the linger I sat. The waitress was nice. They have daily specials! The food comes out very quickly so if you are looking for good efficient service and good food I would recommend this place.

Came here for a Yelp event. It was a great experience. Met the owners and staff; they were super nice. The service was excellent and the food tasted really good. We had a outdoor dining area set up just for private event. There are tons of parking spots outside since it's like in a small plaza. The beef tacos were really good. We had some spicy sauce to goWith it. Our server Gabriel did an amazing job taking care of us.

I love tacos and Mexican food in general, so I had to hit up que Onda. I got chips and queso to start and everything was delicious. My main meal was birria tacos with rice and beans which was also very good. The patio was very nice in the warm weather, the service was also very good. I had a great experience overall and would go back again.
