My San and family have been going here for a few years and are welcomed like family. A very nice…read moreplace that is well decorated and has an extensive menu of truly authentic Mexican cuisine. FYI , I do love great taste in a spicy food item. They serve an excellent hot salsa with their chips. I had shredded chicken enchiladas with red sauce and one beef birra one. I cleaned my plate. So good. My son said the tomatillo sauce on the tacos is to die for. Hint! On Tuesdays their tacos are just $2.00

Came in for a family dinner and had a really good time. Started with a Bahama Mama served in a…read moremason jar -- cute presentation and it was delicious. We shared chips, salsa, and queso to start. The queso was straightforward -- no tomatoes or peppers -- so if you're expecting loaded, adjust your expectations. Still solid though. For my entrée I got the queso birria, and it delivered. Tons of cheese and meat, and all the toppings came on the side which I always appreciate. Decent choice for sure. They've added a bar area since my last visit, which was a nice upgrade. There were a few birthday celebrations happening and the staff made it a whole moment -- custom birthday song over the speakers and a sparkler. Simple but genuinely fun to watch. Our server was super sweet. She was excited to meet my brother and me, apparently our parents are regulars. That kind of warmth goes a long way. Good food, good vibes, good people.

1st time customer. I sat in a comfortable booth and my server was there immediately. Friendly, able…read moreto answer questions easily. I could see 4 TVs with soccer, baseball, and track. I was solo so It's nice to have something watch besides your phone. The beer was cold, I had a draft, excellent pour. And the 3 sauces I got with chips were the best I've had in Charlotte. The salsa, delicious, the hot salsa, fire, delicious fire. And the tomatillos sauce, the best I've ever had. Servers wear elbow length oven mitts when they bring plates, cautioned me while putting it down. I'm used to that with fajitas but I had enchiladas and almost everything that I saw served while there came out hot. Impressive. My food was top notch and the portions large. My server checked on me quite often and brought anything I asked for immediately. One of the managers was circulating too, speaking to every table. Again, impressive. Great food, excellent server, very inexpensive for Ballantyne. I don't think you'll find better for less anywhere in Charlotte. I will be eating there again.

When I have a craving for Mexican food, La Victoria is the first to come to mind. Always great…read moreservice and welcoming energy when you walk in and they have plenty of seating inside as well as outside in their patio area. I always have to go with my go-to meal: a side of warm queso dip with the complimentary chips and the Fajita Taco Salad with steak and shrimp. It never disappoints and tastes so good every time !

Good food & quick service in a quaint little spot I will be happy to come back to enjoy.read more

Back again. Wife likes their stuff and I would prefer other places…read more We ordered margaritas, as they offer small, large and pitcher. We went with small ($6.99) and they were A LOT OF ICE and not much liquid. We ordered another small and finally ordered a large ($10.99) with more liquid, but still A LOT OF ICE. Consider beer next time. Our guacamole dip ($6.99) was good with their chips. I do like that they offer Toreados ($3.99), which are three grilled jalapeno peppers and some grilled onions. I asked for well-done peppers and they were not. If they are grilled or fried, they are soft and less hot. A great accompaniment to your meals...if well cooked. Wife had a wonderful beef and cheese quesadilla especial ($16.99) and I had a taste and agreed with her assessment. She brought half of this order home. If I come back this is what I would order and recommend to others. I asked with three cheese enchiladas ($7.99) with onions cooked inside them, covered with salsa verde (green sauce) rather that the tired old red sauce which is like the dip served with chips. I got what I ordered which came without rice &/or beans. However, I had to send them back to be heated. The cheese had not melted well. I did not like this order. Their service is great. Attentive and active, with our waitress, Evelyn, being in constant motion. She could be called speedy. She did a super job.

There's so many places you can get Mexican food from, but this location has to be the ONLY place…read moreyou should get it from. Handful of times I have ordered it to go and it's always hot, fresh, and amazingly FLAVORFUL. A plus to them is that they always have it ready in 20-25 mins. So if you're starving and need something quick, La Unica will have it ready for you. We have dined in, the service is upbeat and quick. I always get the same dish and it's so hard to order a different one. BUT my boyfriend is there to order everything and it's so worth the chance of trying something new. Thank you for existing in our neighborhood and always feeding me!!

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!
