    Chicken burrito
    Samantha K.

    Walked in with my boyfriend for lunch today. We've been wanting to try this place since moving to Charlotte and we weren't disappointed. This restaurant is for the real foodies. They serve tacos, quesadillas, burritos, tortas and they have combo plates. Not to mention, they have an array of meats you can buy by the pound so you can cook it up at home. I had the chicken burrito (basic I know) but I saw them making one right in front of me and I had to try. Inside the burrito: rice, chicken, pico, cheese and beans. The tables are shared tables. So if you go in and eat solo, someone may sit across from you. If you don't prefer that, then get it to go! They have an assortment of Mexican beers and drinks you can get as well. It was delicious! Can't wait to go back and try more things!

    If you like authentic Mexican food, this place is so good! Heard about it from friends and decided to try it. Well that was an excellent recommendation! It is not only a restaurant to get cooked food, but it is also a market, where you can purchase grocery items. The tacos? AMAZING! So simple, yet so great! And they also have chicharrons, which are also AMAZING! I normally buy them both when I go. There are food cases with all types of foods to choose from - ribs, chicken, rice, etc. Inside, there are small tables on the market side, if you decide to dine in. If you go for lunch, there will be a line, but it will move very fast. You get a ticket for your order and pay when you receive your food. Above the prepared food, there is a tv screen that scrolls between English and Spanish, so you know what you would like to order. The servers making the plates are super quick and friendly. You won't be disappointed if you try this place!

    This hidden gem is a must do in Charlotte. We came for taco Tuesday and were welcomed with the best service. You can choose the toppings of your taco ans can get as many as you want for $1.50 a piece. We also got the rice and beans on the side which is served in a soup cup. I think it was the best rice and beans I ever had in Charlotte! Go check out the local business. Can't wait to try more of their menu items.

    Ceviche & carne asada

    I tried this place out for the first time today! Recently moved to Charlotte and was recommended by coworkers! I'm satisfied. Very authentic (I need to learn Spanish ASAP) lol But on tuesdays they have a taco Tuesday deal on tacos for $1.49. I got three carne asada and a pint of ceviche for under $10! It is yummy! I'm in love & will definitely be coming here again for lunch on Tuesday's

    Carnitas tacos

    Great Authentic Mexican food. Hidden gem! We got the carnitas tocos and chorizo tacos. Very good!

    Carne asada burrito
    Miguel L.

    This is probably the best burrito I've had in Charlotte. Brings me back to childhood from a burrito spot I used to have as a kid in New York. Service is very fast, food is amazing and price is reasonable. I had the carne asada burrito and I have no regrets, it comes with carne asada, rice, beans, cilantro, onions and shredded cheese. I'm ready to try all the other items in their menu. Give it a try, you will not regret it. Also ask for their green sauce, salsa verde.

    BL: Asada; BR: Pollo; TR: Carnitas; TL: Barbacoa. All phenomenal

    The veggie tacos were average. The beans were soft but a little bland. The salsa helped bring out flavor. The place was clean and quiet.

He was attentive, friendly, and always made sure we had everything we needed without us even having to ask. His service was quick, professional, and welcoming, which really stood out and made us feel taken care of the whole time. It is rare to have a server who brings such a positive energy to the table, and Orhan definitely did that. I ordered the Burrito Basico with steak, and it was amazing. The steak was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, and the burrito itself was packed with fresh ingredients that all blended together so well. Every bite was full of flavor, and the portion size was more than worth it. Between the delicious food and Orhan's outstanding service, this was an excellent experience overall. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend asking for Orhan.

Our server did everything we asked and Moore to make sure we had an excellent experience. Now for the food. We started with a trio, appetizer of queso, guacamole, salsa. All absolutely outstanding. Then my wife and I split the chicken enchiladas with the green sauce. One of the best we've ever had. What was really outstanding? Was this cheesy rice side dish. Unexpected and absolutely delicious.

I ordered the carne asada and was genuinely excited, but it was a letdown from the start. They never asked how I wanted the steak cooked, which is a huge mistake. Then they covered the steak in cheese--why? That completely overpowered everything. I couldn't even taste the chimichurri. A suggestion: grill the steak properly and serve it simply. If you need cast iron, use a skillet--not a cast iron bowl. Don't drown it in cheese, and please don't cut my steak for me. I'm a grown adult and can handle that myself. On the positive side, the service was on point--our waitress was amazing. The inside was clean and had a kind‑of Mexican vibe going on.

    Que Fresca is a fast and fun experience. They have 2 counters - one for food and one for drinks…read more You walk up to the counter and order. We got two Burrito Fresas (one grilled chicken and one chicken tinga). The burritos had the COOLEST crunchy cheese coating on the tortilla that the hugs all of the ingredients inside the burrito. Both the grilled chicken and the chicken tinga were phenomenal. We truly could not decide who the "winner" was because they were both so flavorful. Now, to talk about the other fun part!!! SORBET MARGARITAS! I'm obsessed. I had initially seen Que Fresca on social media, specifically for the soft serve margs. And let me tell you - they did nit disappoint. They have two flavors - strawberry and lemon (and then you can do a swirl). They were SO refreshing and delightful!! It was such a fun way to ~eat~ a margarita! All of the staff were friendly and very quick. The restaurant is well laid out and I love that it had TVs to watch all the games. The bathrooms are fun too - as the mirrors have color changing lights! I cannot wait to come back and try more!

    So as we elected for tacos.. close to our hotel, this was in walking distance…read more The ambiance and decor are vibrant and match the taqueria aesthetic. The idea is that place your order, pick a seat and your order is delivered to you. We picked our seats at the bar first because it was pretty packed for Friday night. We took our time to browse the menu but we knew we'd be getting the IG viral Sorbet flights we'd seen. Now on first attempt we got our food, it was completely cold. We informed one of the waiters and asked for our meals to be remade. So upon getting my food second time: 1 Birria Taco, 1 Chips and Queso and 1 Chicken Tinga, it was warm. The Birria taco was my favorite as the chicken didn't hold too much flavor for me. Now we ordered 2 Sorbet flights. We didn't get them as advertised.. no rim coating and the flavor offerings were duplicated. As we compared what we got from other patrons we saw what was missing and the flavor differences. Overall our meal and drinks were underwhelming and we let the staff and manager on hand know. She apologized for not making our Sorbets with rim coating and the food mishap. As guest of NC for the weekend, our host told us we'd gone to the wrong location.
