If you're looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant in Charlotte, this is a solid option. The food was flavorful & authentic. My favorite dish out of all of the food we ordered was the burrito. We added additional protein for an extra charge but ultimately, I believe the prices are very reasonable. Chips & Queso are always my go to appetizer at a Mexican restaurant and although it wasn't the absolute best one I've ever had, it is still a must order. The restaurant has a decent amount of seating options however it is a little bit more snug so be mindful of that if you use anything where you need assistance to be mobil. The parking lot had an unnecessary amount of deep pot holes. Be super careful pulling into the lot and try to avoid them as best as you can. Unfortunately, they are in multiple areas of the lot. As far as service, I can't complain really. It wasn't anything that was outstanding, yet it wasn't bad at all. I can tell the restaurant is more popular since it was a full house. Because of that, our waitress checked on us enough to get us through the meal comfortably!

This has been my favorite spot for YEARS! authentic Mexican food and drinks. Came on a Saturzay for an early dinner around 3pm, and it was busy but able to get a table for 2. It is a small place, so be prepared to wait during their peak hours and seated closely next to others. Decided to eat tacos, which are $3.25 each. If you decide to get Tripa or lengua, which is specialty meat, you will be upcharged. They do NOT offer free chips and salsa like normal Mexican restaurants, which I thought was weird and disappointing. If you do want chips, they are $2. We ended up just ordering them to go along with our tacos. The tacos were AMAZING as I knew they would be. Great flavor, taste, and handmade corn tortillas. Whenever im.in the are and craving Mexican food, this is my go-to to spot. They do have parking spaces around the restaurant and never had a problem with parking when I've gone.

The tacos were above average, not mind blowing, but I was pretty happy with them. Service was above average. Atmosphere was average for a taco place. Got Al pastor, carne asada, pork skin, and birria tacos & vibes were worth going back.

I have really enjoyed this place for some chill tasty authentic tacos. The servers and bartenders are on top of it and came to check on me. I have fallen in love with their gringo dip. I get it everytime I go now. Definitely a good spot to grab a tasty quick bite. They do have an outside patio for those nice days too.

Look out for the Gringo Tax! "Large party"fees are now applied to Gringo tabs. We had three adults and two kids, 5 and 4. We were sat at a booth and they slipped in a $20 charge on top of our bill. Great food but insulting tactic. It just comes out of the severs tip.

While there are many new trendy Mexican/Latin American restaurants opening up in the city, there will always be a place for the small family owned authentic establishments. I have passed by this place many times while driving in south boulevard and the large signage and patio always catch my eye. I finally came in for lunch with a buddy and had an enjoyable experience. The ambience was very typical of a small hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. The kitschy (and I use that word with love) type of decor along with the plastic menus and finally the Mexican music. Upon being seated I was promptly brought not only chips but several bottles of different salsas of varying heat levels. There were no containers to pour the salsa into so my friend and I were a little confused. We ended up just using the bottles to pour a little bit of salsa onto each chip we ate before biting in. Not sure if this is correct but we made it work. Their menu is large with pretty much all of the staples from enchiladas to fajitas to tacos. Interestingly enough they also had hamburgers and hotdogs. I ended up getting a lunch special that included three crispy taquitos each smothered with a different topping, one in spicy salsa, one in salsa verde, and one in cheese. The found was very enjoyable. The service was a little slow and it took us a while before we were able to wave down our server to bring us our check but that's really my only complaint. I will for sure be back as their menu is so extensive there is a lot more for me to try!

Top tier for Mexican food on South Blvd. It's not conveniently located within walking distance to Southend, but it's worth the drive. Pricing is phenomenal and the menu options are diverse. Service is quick. If you speak Spanish, then that's a plus but not a requirement. If you look Hispanic then be prepared lol. Tacos and enchiladas are solid. Nachos are a must as they are the best in the area. Drink prices are fantastic. That's worth the price of admission alone. Ambiance is dated for sure. It could use some sprucing up but with their phenomenal menu pricing, I'm not complaining. Worth a shot...

If you're craving tacos, you definitely need to come here. This is probably one of the most authentic Mexican places. They serve you complimentary dips with chips in the beginning. Their tacos are delicious and I always love using their sauces. I feel like you couldn't go wrong with anything on the menu. Staff was efficient and very friendly. My friend had mentioned in passing that it was my birthday and our server surprised me with flan and turned on birthday music, which I truly appreciated it.

busy busy place, great family atmosphere. There is a bar and outside seating are as well. Ordered 4 asada burritos, by far they were very very good. Only complaint was they needed more meat but for the price its not bad. The burrito was a good size , it came with charbroiled pepper and onions.

The food is still excellent, but they no longer give you chips and salsa. You have to buy an appetizer to get them.
