    I got a tip about Mariscos Nayarit, a newer Mexican seafood spot off East W.T. Harris and Albemarle, and I'm glad I checked it out. I was invited in by Pedro, the manager, and while my meal was hosted, these thoughts are my own. Staff was well-compensated and the food delivered. Inside is bright and full of ocean-themed murals, greenery, and upbeat Latin music. The menu is huge, with photos for every item, which made ordering easy without needing to Google anything. I started with chips, salsa, and queso. All solid. The Ribeye Brasas was next: steak and zarandeado shrimp with grilled veggies and a surprisingly great baked potato. The inside was mashed, creamy, and loaded with bacon and sour cream. The steak was seared perfectly and the shrimp had that smoky open-fire flavor. They also brought out a wild dish called the "Tendedero" -- steak, corn on the cob, shrimp clipped to a clothesline, and a seafood stew served in a flaming cast iron bowl with clams, mussels, shrimp, calamari, and more. It was dramatic, flavorful, and a lot of fun. I don't drink, but they showed me their over-the-top cocktails. One came in a glowing hippo bowl with a rubber duck. Another was served in a purse. There was also a piña colada so tall it needed a lifeguard. I passed them to other guests who were more than happy to enjoy them. If you miss the flavor of spring break in Cancun, this is your vibe. Servers may speak limited English, so bring a translator app. Think of it like a real-life Duolingo session. The reward is great seafood. Fun atmosphere, kind staff, and big portions. Definitely one of my new favorite full-service Mexican restaurants in Charlotte. I'll be back. Follow me for more local food spots: instagram.com/charlottefoodieguy

With its subdued lighting, faded brick walls and tightly packed tables, it's the perfect spot to escape with a bottle of tequila on a rainy Friday night. But if your circumstances aren't quite so desperate, Que Onda is also a great destination for an intimate date night or an evening with friends. On a recent visit, my wife and I started with a bowl of chips and queso, accompanied by a pair of oversized house margaritas. When I complained to our server about my drink's disappointing lack of kick, he took it off the bill and recommended the far superior Patron Cadillac Margarita, which improved my mood in a hurry. For dinner, I dove into a delicious taco combo platter of steak, carnitas and baja fish, while my wive enjoyed a tasty Taco Salad. Service was outstanding throughout our meal, the prices were reasonable, and the ambiance superb. Well worth a visit if you're looking for solid Mexican food and margaritas in Charlotte.

I originally was going to place the order online, but they're online option said it was unavailable so I went inside and sat down at the bar. The service was OK though it seemed most people did not speak English, which is fine. It just made it kind of harder to communicate. That said the food was decent but the reason why I gave two stars was because I feel very misled on pricing. The menu showed Que Siberia tacos three for $12. Steak/Asada tacos for three dollars which brings my total to 15+ the two drinks. I thought she said it was $20.80 so I paid it with my card and gave her five dollars cash for a tip. I get to the car just to double check the transaction and she charged me 3499 on my card and took the cash. I went back inside to confront her about this advising. She completely overcharged me, and she only offered to give my six dollars tip back to me. I am now going to dispute the transaction with my bank because I was unable to resolve this issue. That's sad.

Prices are extremely reasonable especially for the economy. Service is wonderful, chips and salsa were refilled promptly, drinks were tended to, and all with laughs and banter throughout. I got a steak quesadilla, my boyfriend got an enchilada plate. I wanted to try one of their specials but I was craving an easy meal all day! Everything came out fast, hot, and fresh. My spicy margarita had the perfect kick, and his giant mug of beer was ice cold. The restaurant is far bigger than it appears outside. I worried we would have to wait for a table, but they have a great set up. Music was great, plenty of TVs if your boyfriend (or you) wants to watch the game. Can't wait to come back!

The decor is fun, the staff is always friendly, and I haven't been once where at least one person wasn't being celebrated with a sombrero and a birthday song! The tableside guacamole is a absolute MUST--it's so fresh, and you can customize it exactly to your liking. While I have tried many things on the expansive menu, it is hard not to always choose the arroz con pollo, which is by far the best I have had in town (and in general). The fajitas and pork carnitas are another couple of my favorites. There is truly something for everyone here. Even the bar drinks are delicious and incorporate a lot of fresh citrus. If you can't decide on a drink, I highly recommend trying a variety of margarita flavors in a flight!

    I fell in love with Superica when I first moved to Charlotte nearly three years ago, and it quickly…read morebecame one of my go-to spots for reliable, flavorful Tex-Mex. But I have to start with a small heartbreak: my beloved puffy taco is gone. I grew up in San Antonio, Texas, where the puffy taco was created, and it's deeply nostalgic for me. It's not a sope, not a tostada--it's a true puffy taco, light, airy, and unlike anything else. For a long time, Superica made one that came remarkably close to what I grew up with. Unfortunately, after changes in leadership and kitchen management, it quietly disappeared from the menu. That was a real disappointment. That said, I still come back--because the food here is consistently good. The crispy tacos with picadillo are my current favorite. Picadillo (P-I-C-A-D-I-L-L-O) is a traditional Latin dish with many regional variations, and this version reminds me of the one my grandmother used to make in San Antonio. The portions are generous, the flavors are balanced, and the menu offers something for everyone--from enchiladas and chile rellenos to steaks and fresh tableside guacamole. Speaking of guacamole, I'm a purist. I like it simple: avocado, jalapeño, cilantro, lime, garlic--chunky and clean. Superica delivers on that. The chips and salsa are bottomless, the salsa has great depth of flavor, and for those who like heat, they offer a tiny dropper of hot sauce that is smoky, bold, and absolutely not for the faint of heart. The ginger margarita is another standout. It comes with a generous piece of crystallized ginger and has a bright, balanced flavor that makes it easy to order a second one. And if you have room for dessert, do not skip the tres leches cake--rich, decadent, and a perfect way to end the meal. I also appreciate the little touches here: * Friendly, knowledgeable waitstaff * A lively bar area that's great for happy hour * A beautiful outdoor patio that makes al fresco dining feel special * And a fun tradition of sending you home with a packaged Texas praline This South End location is my personal favorite. It feels more adult and relaxed, while the Strawberry Hill location tends to be more family-heavy. Both are good, but the vibe here suits me better. Yes, prices have crept up a bit--as they have everywhere--but the quality, consistency, and atmosphere keep me coming back. And as someone who travels frequently for work across multiple states, I appreciate that Superica maintains a dependable standard wherever I encounter it. Bottom line: Even without the puffy taco, Superica remains one of my favorite Tex-Mex spots in Charlotte. Come hungry, bring friends, share plates--and as always, travel safe and eat well.
