Our daughter lives in Charlotte, and this was the very first place she took us after picking us up…read morefrom the airport, one of her favorite spots in town. After one meal here, we understood why. Calle Sol has a cool laid back vibe, great service, strong mojitos, and food that absolutely delivers. The ceviche is the star for a reason. Super fresh with bright flavor, and the crispy plantains alongside it were the perfect seafood fish combo. The skinny spicy margarita with the tajín rim and mojitos were excellent too. Our favorite was the Cuban rice. Rich flavor with this aioli on top that made everyone at the table keep stealing bites from each other. The vaca frita (beef) had great flavor with crispy edges done right, and the banana tres leches dessert was flat out dangerous. Easily enough for three people unless your family has zero self control. We don't really have Cuban food like this back home, so this felt like a treat. Safe to say our daughter picked a winner. We'll definitely be back next trip to Charlotte.

Pisco sour: definitely taste the alcohol. I enjoyed it. A little sweet. Not really sour or I couldn't taste it. Chichamora: spiced drink. Light tangy fruity flavor. Like a light punch. Fried yucca and cheesy: 4 stars. Yummy yucca balls filled with cheeses you have to eat hot for the gooey cheesiness but be careful because the are hot. Make sure to eat with the dip for next level flavor. Shrimp ceviche: 3.5 stars. Different toppings provided different flavors (I.e. crunchy corn, sweet potatoes, salty plaintains chips, & soft corn kernels) texture but I wished there was more shrimp and a slight more acidity or lime juice. Also some of the fried corn kernels were burnt so it had bitter taste. Vaca Frita:Garlic/onion shredded braised beef. 4.5 stars. Came with beans, rice, and yucca mash. Overall the flavors were good and I really enjoyed it.

Enjoyed a cheap drink while we waited for our takeout order. Food was plentiful, and while we intentionally overordered, I cannot say enough about affordability. Highlight was the sweet family that runs this place. The son served us, and engaged us in conversation. The mom was a sweetheart who helped take our order and even created a "dealer's choice" dish for a vegetarian in our party. East Charlotte is great because of businesses like this. Stop by and support Cuzcatlan. These are great people serving delicious food for the greater Charlotte community. I intend to continue to support them, and you should, too!

The staff primarily speaks Spanish as a heads up but can serve you in english as well. The Spanish honestly makes the experience even better & me & my friend got to practice the language. ANYWAY, I ordered the pollo con crema & they got the Pupusas. The cream from the pollo con crema is so flavorful that honestly if they sold just the sauce I would buy it. I tend to avoid beans but my first scoop of them made me speak out "This is good!" . Beans, two tortillas, lettuce & bell peppers & rice come on this dish to make something magical lol. The pupusas are primarily made of cheese but it is good cheese lol. If you happen to be a vegetarian & a cheese lover have you a order of that.

Upon entrance, I enjoyed how open the restaurant seemed and felt immersed by the ambiance which the restaurant gave off. We were quickly seated and looked through the menu for a meal. I ended up opting for the tacos and they were delicious. Too often do restaurants skimp on the meat portion but this restaurant gave a bountiful amount. I got to try their Pollo con tajadas which were just as good, if not better than the authentic Honduran street food. For it being Christmas, all the staff was more than happy to be there and to serve the many customers who were also looking for some food. All in all, I'm so glad to have found this restaurant which serves delicious hispanic food and look forward to coming back in the future.

One of my favorite taco places in Charlotte. I used to go…read morehere religiously on Tuesdays. They have tacos for only a dollar all day. I usually get 3 asada tacos and 2 pastor tacos topped with the green sauce. The green sauce is fantastic. I usually ask for more because I like my tacos spicy. They have alcoholic drinks for a decent price on the back of their menu. The place is very authentic because the workers speak Spanish and the restaurant has traditional music playing! It will surely make you feel like you're in the right place for tacos with your friends! The workers are nice and friendly! Service isn't bad but you might have to get their attention when it's busy. Craving tacos? Then you should definitely try this place.

This restaurant has been my go to Mexican restaurant for years but I will not be returning…read more Previously I found a bug in my food and still ended up paying full price, but I tried to give the benefit of the doubt. Just today I found a hair inside my tortilla, meaning it was in the batch of masa. When I brought it up, the only thing that was discounted was my Coke. Which is not the point but there could've been a better effort made to right the situation. It's disappointing because the food is good but I can't comfortably return due to the lack of hygiene.

Pollo Campero is pure nostalgia for me--and still one of the best fried chicken experiences out…read morethere. Fun backstory: years ago when I worked in international arrivals for Continental Airlines in Houston, flights coming in from Central America would regularly have passengers traveling with bags full of Pollo Campero. It was that serious. (And yes... we had to confiscate and destroy it. Painful.) That's how you know it's good. Originating in Guatemala, this chicken has a flavor profile that just hits differently--crispy, juicy, perfectly seasoned. It stands in a league of its own. Pair it with: * Arepas * Sweet plantains * And if you've got room, flan or churros And you've got a full-on comfort meal. Let me be clear: this is not your typical fast-food chicken. It easily outshines KFC, Popeyes, Church's Chicken, and Bojangles in flavor and uniqueness. Bottom line: if you see a Pollo Campero, stop and try it. You'll get it the moment you take that first bite. Get out there, Charlotte--and eat up.

The pork rinds were good, and the plantains were sweet, but the sausage lacked the typical chorizo flavor I was expecting. The breakfast was decent, though nothing particularly standout.

It was a good experience overall, but I'd be curious to try the lunch or dinner menu next time.

When I initially visited (in their first couple of months after opening) I was super in love with this place. Unfortunately every experience after that has been super inconsistent. I've ordered their seafood sancocho three times and every single time I've gotten a different dish. The last time I ordered it - it was more so vegetables with 2 teaspoons of broth, some rice and old fried yucca. If you look at the photo - I believe you can tell the yucca looks like it'd been in the fridge for days and they just threw it in there for good measure. The waiter didn't smile and generally looked miserable to have to deal with me. I asked for hot sauce that never came. Just overall, really disappointed in my last experience here and unfortunately won't be retuning due to how inconsistent my last few visits have been. You might get something that tastes decent, you might not.
