Mango margarita
Ini U.

Came for dinner with the family. Service was good. Drinks a little weak. Ceviche was the best part. The rest of the food was okay. Would try the restaurant again.

Catered Event space
Rachel V.

Great staff, full bar, has one to two event spaces. Family friendly environment, more upscale than typical traditional Mexican restaurant. The owner Lucio, the GM Jonathan and all the staff are very professional, friendly, and gave 5-star plus service! We had a company event there with over 100 people they accommodated everyone, wonderful to plan and work with for such a large group of people. Jonathan followed up and it was all hands on deck to make sure all of our attendees were happy throughout the event! Everyone had a blast, the food and drinks were fantastic! #BestplaceforEvent #outstandingStaff #GreatManagement #upscaleMexican #HostYourNextEvent

Great menu. The food was excellent. Fair to say it is my favorite Mexican restaurant now. Reasonable price too. Taco Birra and bed stuffed peppers (chile poblano).

Amazing that this place is open on Mondays when little waxhaw is usually closed that day! First time dining in for lunch and was blown away by the extensive menu. Ordered a jalapeno margarita and it was delicious. Thought the queso and the lunch specials were awesome. I ordered a steak burrito and the steak was seasoned amazingly. Enjoyed everything from the Servers to the Robot delivery droid. The only thing that tainted my experience was the faucets in the bathroom. They should be just switched out if they can't be cleaned. I really think this place deserves to be around for awhile, Please go and support Waxhaw, and Adelas!

I met a friend for a late breakfast at Vera's kitchen. It's a simple, homey spot in downtown…read moreWaxhaw. It's got lots of tables and booths so plenty of seating. We were greeted quickly by a friendly server who got us drinks right away. We weren't ready to order and he did not rush us. He asked us to move our table number to the front of the table so he would know we were ready. I liked that touch! We went very traditional for breakfast. I opted for the French toast combo with bacon and hash browns. My friend opted for the spinach and feta omelet. Both arrived quickly and were fresh and hot. My food was tasty, the bacon was crispy as ordered and the hash browns were nicely shredded and not too greasy. The only thing that was a bit off was my friend asked for her omelet to be well done and she had to send it back for a recook. There was no problem with that and it was back quickly and definitely cooked much more to her liking. Overall I liked the place for a no frills but well cooked meal. The server was pleasant and we never had to ask for refills. Definitely recommend if you are in the area and looking for a nice, affordable meal.

Another couple would not be talked out of us going for dinner here, which to us, it was a 2-star…read moreugh! experience that was nine years ago. We were not thrilled, but off we went. It looked the same, but the menu was greatly expanded. Our waiter, Nicolas proved to make the experience a good one, far, far better than nine years ago. Margaritas also served to make it a good experience. They come in flavors and sized small, large and pitcher. We went large ($10) regular flavor. Nice servings and went down well. Given our previous bad experience we went with standard food offerings. Wife had enchiladas verdes ($13.99) which were served with rice and beans. She asked for diced onions to be cooked inside the enchiladas and they did so. I Went for chile verde ($16.99), which is one of my favorites. Pork chunks well simmered and soft in a green gravy. Contract with beef cooked likewise called chile colorado, another favorite. Served with rice and beans and tortillas. I specified flour tortillas but you can opt for corn tortillas. Without having to explain what it was I wanted, Chiles Toreados ($3.99) were actually listed on the menu. I receive my order of three jalapeno peppers that were very well done and sauteed onions surrounding them. This is a wonderful way to spice up your meals, especially the beans and rice that are pretty blah. This dinner make up for the one nine years ago, and we will be back. Looking for Nicholas.

Relaxed atmosphere makes this a good place to chill as you sip on a margarita. Food is good,…read morenothing spectacular, with all the traditional items you expect at a Mexican restaurant.

Highly recommend!

Located in a corner unit of a small strip mall, La Unica is a quaint Mexican restaurant that should…read morebe considered when those Tex Mex cravings are bubbling deep inside the soul. When my X and I first moved to Indian Trail, a lot of friends suggested this restaurant as the authority for Tex Mex. It's a good thing they have a big parking lot as they're generally packed, which means people like it. Me? My short reply is it's pretty good. Opening up the doors the atmosphere has a bit of reserved authenticity, no dollar tree prefab gimmicks are there just to plant a flag, claiming to be just like all other options out there. No this is the real deal with a warming atmosphere designed to entice locals to take a load off and relax. The server stand is directly in front and what appears to be a predominately family-owned business. The staff is quick to greet and seat everyone who enters and the place is extremely clean with a low noise level. Lets get to the food, shall we? First of all, I prefer thinner chips as theirs are really thick, but that's not a quality issue. The salsa is darn good and be careful for asking for hot salsa, you'll get what you asked for. Generally I fill up on chips and get something light however I've heard so many good things about La Unica I had to hold back so I could sample some of the former mrs food and gorge on my own. Please note I did drop by twice so I have three dishes I can speak too. First the former Mrs me got the flautas dinner. All the sides; lettuce, tomato, guac, sour cream and rice were fresh and tasty. The tomatoes were ripe and the guac wasn't discolored which means fresh. The flautas were perfectly cooked, crispy with flavorful and moist chicken while not being greasy. Top it with some lettuce and sour cream YUM! My first sample was the Shrimp burrito or I'll call it the Titanic as it was HUGE & IT WENT DOWN! Very tasty with plenty of fat shrimp and all the sides inside. I found it fun to cut into it, pop a bite into my mouth and see which ingredients hit my tastebuds; a revolving experience. Overall, it was very good and not to spicy. For the record, I don't eat beans so I'm not a good judge of what happened there. My final menu item was my best bud, my old faithful, my ride or die - steak fajitas. Again, the sides were awesome no issue there but I found the steak a bit tough. It was seasoned well and tasty but I did some chewing to finish it off. I think it may have been an off day. Other than the MMA fighting steak (implying it's tough) the dish is outstanding. Overall, La Unica is the best Mexican aka Tex Mex restaurant in Indian Trail. The staff is friendly and fast, the chips and salsa are great and for the most part you can always get a seat. Even when busy, the food doesn't seem to suffer. I wish I could have tried more items, alas life has dictated I'm a nomad so I won't be back. But don't let that stop you for hitting up the best south of the border joint in town!
