    Tacos rice and beans
    Jesse L.

    So, my wife and I have driven by this place numerous times and finally stopped in for taco Tuesday this evening. Great ambiance complimentary chips and salsa came out right away and were hot and delicious. Our waitress took our order and brought our drinks out fast. It was not much longer before 6 gourmet tacos and a very large portion of rice and beans were at our table. The tacos couldn't have been better and the refried beans were some of the best we have had. Our only regret is that we had not tried this spot sooner. Definitely going to be regulars here.

    We had to support El Valle on cinco de Mayo week during covid. We ordered a variety of items for a family of 6. When we pulled up our order was brought curbside. The staff was friendly and our orders were accurate and labeled! We made a couple of substitutions so this was an added bonus. We got a couple of combinations, fajitas, a steak and chicken dish. It was good standard Mexican food. We even got the chips and salsa. Everyone enjoyed their food!

    Came here for a lunch during the work week. They were semi busy but we were sat quickly. Our drink orders, chips and salsa came out swiftly. The salsa was a bit on the spicy side All of us really enjoyed our food and the service was pretty quick. We will come back to try more of their lunch specials!

    Hard to review this one since the food isn't bad. Its good but to be honest for what you get and the quality. The price doesn't match it. So expect to get something that taste good but for the amount and all, not worth the price.

    Really liked the El Valle in Matthews so when I saw that they had opened a Mint Hill location, I was anxious to try it. Nothing negative about the interior decor but the ambient temperature was too hot. Waiter took our drink order, I asked what the WiFi password was and he didn't know. They do have 4 Mexican beers on draft but don't offer a 32 oz. and the 22oz. was overpriced. Chips were okay. Salsa was generic. Asked for a spicier salsa and a cheese dip. Both came later than expected. Choripollo was surprisingly bland and the mocohete as well. Mexican food should not be bland. Worst of all was the flies. Gotta get rid of the flies.

    I really enjoyed the food at El Valle! It's your typical Mexican Restaurant in terms of menu items - love having combo options, and the prices are all very reasonable. Check out the lunch menu for very cheap options as well! The guacamole was some of the best I've ever had, it took a little bit to come out - but it was so fresh you could tell the time put into it was to ensure the quality. 10/10 would order this again. There is a full bar with drink specials during the week, the sangria margarita was really tasty.

    I don't know where to begin with this review, but here it goes…read more.. Our visit to Taxco yesterday evening was so disappointing :( It was Cinco de Mayo, and it's worth noting we've celebrated there on this holiday in previous years. Also worth noting that we have loved the food here and this review is strictly about CUSTOMER SERVICE! Our wait to get a table wasn't long. We were seated at a table in the corner on the outdoor patio after 10 minutes. It took about 10-15 minutes for a staff member to recognize us seated there, and he brought over some chips and salsa. Then we waited another 10-15 minutes to get some waters, which we had to ask another staff member for. Then after another 10-15 minutes we had to stop and ask again if anyone was going to take our order, they said someone will be with us shortly. After waiting another 10-15 minutes we stopped another staff member and asked if they could take our drink and food order because we've been waiting for a while, so they did. While waiting for another 30 minutes, we saw other customers who got waited on promptly after being seated after us, and who ended up getting their orders (bar drinks & food) before us. When there was still no food or drinks at our table after this 1-2 hour ordeal, we decided to leave. We walked up to the front to tell the hostess, and also asked for a manager to tell them about our situation...and that's when everything went downhill for us. The manager was VERY RUDE when talking with her and kept using a busy 'holiday' as an excuse. We explained we were one of their weekly and long time customers. The guy who runs the bar practically knows my name and I don't even have to say anything when I pick up orders because he recognizes me immediately. He even recognizes my voice when I call in an order, and notices when I haven't been at the restaurant for more than a week. Anyway, we calmly told the manager about our experience seeing others get waited on promptly...they were picking and choosing who to serve. She didn't care at all about what we felt or had to say. We mentioned at the end of the convo that they lost a long life customer for the way she was responding to our concerns, and her response was "GOOD LUCK!" We loved Taxco because it was our local Mexican restaurant in Mint Hill. The food was great. We've supported them for over 8 years, through the pandemic, and definitely have spent A LOT of our money there. I've featured them on my foodie page numerous times and have recommended them to SO MANY people in the Charlotte area! It is so sad to see service like this in our area, poor restaurant management, and zero loyalty to a customer base. Unfortunately, our relationship with Taxco has come to an end now. Good Luck!

So, we ordered one of each (easily split btw 3-4 ppl) and LOVED it!! My fav taco is the street corn taco with shrimp . Delicious sweet and savory. Our service was great the first night, but the second night it was a miss. They eventually advised us that they were in training at the moment. So, that's understandable and answered our questions and concerns. Overall, as long as they keep it very clean and food tastey, we will be back to this restaurant regularly.

Apart from that she was friendly and helpful. We ordered the shrimp fajita and bc my daughter loves shrimp I asked if was spicy and even the queso they only have the one w jalapenos which I love but my daughter couldn't enjoy as much bc it became too Spicy for her. The horchata was too sweet - according to my 7 year old who loves sweets, I also tried and compared to our local taco place it was very sweet, she didn't event drink it and ordered water. I had the skinny margaritas which also not my favorite the alcohol portion was on point very nice and you could taste it which I appreciate it since I was cold outside, but the flavor was missing. Overall the food is good the prices and service are all very good. Ambience is traditional Mexican skeletons decor like dis de los muertos everyday. If you haven't been here it's worth the trip to try Mexican style and imaginative American menu.

The inside of the restaurant was clean and very trendy with plant walls, and signs that glowed which made it super cute! There was no wait when we arrived for a party of five which was nice and the hostess sat us politely and quickly. Our server was fast to stop by and brought out the complimentary chips and salsa that were both great.

The fajitas came with two plates of toppings for them so that we each had our own to build the fajitas on the house made tortillas.

I also got the elote loco. I really wanted a traditional elote but the lady said elote loco and I replied yes, and so that's how that went. Not even 10 min later my food was out. They give complimentary chips & salsa. The elote loco was ok. Not usually something I would order but wasn't bad. I ate it all. Worth ordering twice if you're a fan of the red stuff. My burrito was a decent size. Short and fat. Rolled terribly. All of the guac and little bit of sour cream was on one side of the burrio and the other end had the chicken and rice. There was a thin amount of beans. The chicken was hella dry. Like it has been cooked a day before and reheated in a microwave. The flavor was lacking. The chips and salsa. The chips were warmed, but the salsa was giving crushed tomatoes with garlic. It was more of a tomato than a salsa. Personally, I wouldn't come back but they do have other dishes and so maybe I just ordered something that isn't one of their bests. My total was around $26. A bit steep for such mid food.
