    The day after Christmas and we ended up here for a late lunch since a lot of other places were closed. Even though its an express Mexican restaurant, we decided to sit down and eat and enjoy the ambiance. They had great music playing and their decor was beautiful. Located off South Blvd with a parking lot attached. Ordered their steak quesadilla, steak burrito and an order of French fries. Both the quesadilla and burrito were DELICIOUS! Very flavorful and grilled to perfection. The fries were not the best. Tasted like day old fries, a bit soggy and hard. No alcohol but plenty of agua fresas to choose from. I can definetly see this place getting full during lunch time in the week. Wouldn't mind coming back if im in the area.

    Such a great restaurant! I loved the atmosphere, staff were friendly, tasty food, good service and very clean. Authentic feel with the music and the unique paintings. I got the torta de asada and it was one of the best I've had in clt! Desserts also looked great, def save space for one! More of a self-serve style, they have a cute salsa bar on the side, aguas frescas and beverage fridge with jarritos/other drinks. The menu is pretty good with additional specials on the front glass. The parking situation wasn't the best but I asked and there's a space right in front where you can park if the other side parking lot is full. Will def be back!

    My girlfriend and I stopped by Salata in South End on the way out of town for a birthday Airbnb…read moretrip and thought the place looked great inside. The space is bright, clean, and feels like a nice addition to the neighborhood. The biggest downside was the parking situation which is obviously more of a South End issue than a Salata issue, but it definitely made the quick stop feel less convenient than we expected. The ordering flow was also a little awkward... after building your order you end up waiting at the register while the food is assembled, which slowed things down more than it needed to. Food-wise, my wrap ended up being really good but there wasn't an option for a plain wrap, so I went with the cucumber wrap instead of whole wheat and it actually worked out great. Overall, it was a good meal, but if I'm choosing between salad spots in Charlotte I'd probably lean toward Chopt most of the time.

    I had a great lunch at this Salata location the other day. I didn't even realize this was here. I…read moreknew about the Uptown location, but I'm rarely in this area so I hadn't even seen that this one was here. It was super convenient. I walked in and no one was inside so I was able to order right away. I had a spinach salad with lots of yummy fresh toppings and the spice chipotle lime chicken. It looked as good as it tasted. The pesto chicken looked great too, but I wanted a little heat. I love their options and that you get the cute lil croissant with the salad. I had the ginger lime vinaigrette and REALLY enjoyed this salad.

    Get Schnitz-faced!!…read more In Yafo Kitchen has become my go-to spot in Charlotte, largely because of one dish: the schnitzel. If you're a schnitzel fan, stop reading and order it. Two generous pieces arrive shatteringly crisp with a beautifully seasoned panko crust that's never greasy. The chicken stays tender and juicy, and the fresh lemon wedges bring everything to life. It's one of those dishes that keeps pulling me back. My favorite side is the shell macaroni and cheese. Rich, creamy, and unapologetically indulgent. Together, the schnitzel and mac and cheese are comfort food perfection. I also love the self-serve organic Tractor beverages, the open kitchen concept, and how consistently clean the restaurant feels. The team is friendly, the food comes out quickly, and you can watch everything being prepared right in front of you. Parking is easy thanks to the shared shopping center lot, the outdoor patio along East Boulevard is pleasant, and the portions are generous for the price. Clean restaurant. Friendly people. Consistently delicious food. Yafo is one of those places that simply gets it right. Life is too short not to eat well, Charlotte.

    Quality of food is superb given their business model of pick as you go down the line. I saw their…read morechickens are roasting live so that speaks for the quality. Staff is kind, they are busy but will treat well, ambiance is clean and nothing cray, the food is what surprised me the most, they did well for Mediterranean cuisine. They got Kombucha too.

    First time stopping in although I have driven by many many times. Our waitress, Britanny, was very…read morewelcoming from the moment we opened the door. As I do with all new restaurants I checked out the Health Dept rating. 98.0. Yes! And with plenty of appealing options on the menu, we are all cleared to eat! I especially like how the website has pictures of food so you don't have to wonder what's on the plate. The walls are a beautiful mediteranean ocean blue and it decor just reminds me of dining in a cozy family run restaurant. Not sure if it is but it gives off that vibe. There's a big covered outdoor seating area that looks like it could be fun. But we ate inside since it was so hot. The food was delicious! Oh my gosh. My husband got the Gyro dinner with lamb, rice, salad and pita bread. I got two appetizers as my dinner. Grape leaves and kabobs. I like how the tomatoes and onions were sautéed over the beef. Everything was so good.

    Decided to step outside my usual spots and give The Mad Greek a try, and I'm glad I did!…read moreThe ambiance was really inviting, and the patio area was especially cute and relaxing, with TVs and lighting that made it a great place to unwind after work. The service was attentive throughout our visit, and I appreciated that our server offered recommendations. They were also kind enough to refry our fries when they came out a bit mushy, which was a thoughtful touch. We started with the fried calamari, which was crispy and served with a delicious dipping sauce that really elevated the dish. I'd give it an 8/10. The Greek salad was fresh and loaded with peppers, tomatoes, and feta cheese. It was a solid, classic Greek salad, though nothing particularly stood out about it so I'd give it a 6/10. For our entrée, we ordered the Meat Trio, which came with chicken, pork, and lamb shavings, along with vegetables, pita bread, and rice, as well as the Mad Greek Salad with chicken. The presentation was great, and the portion size was generous. The lamb wasn't my favorite, but the pork was well-seasoned and full of flavor. The chicken was juicy, tender, and had a nice color. The rice was a bit bland on its own, but it paired much better with the tzatziki and the rest of the meal. The Meat Trio - 8/10 ; Mad Greek Salad with Chicken - 10/10. Overall, it was an enjoyable dining experience, and I'd come back to try some of their other entrées!

Plating of everything is very nice and aesthetically pleasing! First thing we got almost 3 minutes after we ordered was the caramelized Brussels, we rated it a 9! We got the trio dip plate, loved it, a solid 8.9!!! Best pita bread I've had, extremely soft and great flavor! I got the grilled avocado chicken sandwich with kasseri cheese, so so good! One of the best sandwiches I've had, rating it a 9.3! My friend got a heart of palm salmon Caesar and she rated it a 7.4! Service was quick and attentive, our server, Jordan, was nice and genuine! A bartender came and filled our drinks, his name was Fernando, super sweet! Would definitely recommend and would for back in a heart beat! So much more to try!! Thank yall! Edit: total rating has gone up! A solid total rating of 9.2 due to a sticker on the receipt!! This increased it by .2!

    We've been to Kid Cashew several times and have tried a variety of dishes. One thing we appreciated…read morewas the dog-friendly patio, and on previous visits the food was consistently good. The chicken skewers were especially great during earlier visits -- very moist, flavorful, and something we specifically came back to order again. Unfortunately, our last visit was really disappointing. The chicken was extremely overcooked and very dry compared to prior visits. The brussel sprouts were also undercooked and mostly raw. It's also worth noting they do not take reservations for parties under six, which can make planning ahead difficult during busy times. It was frustrating because we know the food can be much better based on our previous experiences. If the kitchen were more consistent, the rating would be very different.

    If you're looking for a spot in Charlotte that actually delivers on flavor and vibe, State of…read moreConfusion is one that lives up to the hype. The menu leans Latin-American with some Southern influence, and you can tell there's real intention behind the food--not just trendy plating. A few dishes that really stand out: * CrispyPan Seared Chicken - super clean execution, great char, and balanced with bright, fresh flavors. It's simple but done right. * Fried Beef Tacos - easily a must-order. Crispy, rich, and layered with acidity so it doesn't feel heavy. * Ceviche - fresh, citrusy, and well-seasoned. You can tell they're not cutting corners here. * Street Corn (Elote) - bold, messy, and exactly what you want it to be. * Gator Bites - crispy on the outside, tender inside, and packed with flavor. Fun dish that's actually executed well--not just a gimmick. The atmosphere is just as strong as the food--high energy, great patio, and a space that feels alive without being overwhelming. It's the kind of place you can take a team, a date, or just roll in after work and still feel like you made the right call. Service is typically on point too--friendly, quick, and they keep things moving even when it's busy, which matters. Only thing that throws people off sometimes is parking, but don't let that stop you: There is parking behind the restaurant if the main lot is full. Overall, this is one of those spots that hits consistently--good food, strong execution, and a vibe that keeps people coming back.

We ordered a couple of items, including mocktails, and while the food and drinks were just OK and didn't quite stand out compared to other spots, the service more than made up for it--the staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience enjoyable.  Overall, it's a great place to hang out if you're looking for a lively vibe and excellent service, even if the menu isn't the main highlight.
