This isn't Pappasito's Cantina quality, just saying. I could see $25 or $30, but cmon.

The food was okay, but lacked flavor--seasoning, especially salt, would have made a big difference. The music was also very loud, making it difficult to have a conversation at the table. On the positive side, the service was prompt and attentive. Be aware that a service charge is automatically added to the bill, regardless of party size. Overall, it's just okay--not great, and not even among the better Mexican food options in Statesville.

The food is authentic Mexican food, we are pretty sure everything is made from scratch, even the chips, salsa, tortillas, and sweet tea. They had the best beans I have had in years, not spicy, but creamy like true beans should be. The Chicken Fajitas Taco Salad was just the right size and the chicken was tender. The tacos we a little bit salty for my husbands taste but that didn't seem to stop him much. The sweet lady who waited on us was friendly and attentive and our food came out hot and timely. This "Family Taco Shop" may look like a little hole in the wall but inside is a treasure of wonderful authentic Mexican Food!

This little hole-in-the-wall spot isn't just good -- it's real Mexican food. Not Tex-Mex…read more Seriously, it's the real deal. There was plenty of parking, and even though the location isn't right off a main road, it's worth finding. Inside, the space was surprisingly roomy. We were greeted by a gentleman who seated us right away and later took our orders on a digital device -- something I appreciated. It's a small thing, but it helps make sure the kitchen gets everything right. The menu had a lot to choose from, and I was excited to see they offered cow tongue and intestines -- hard to come by these days. Definitely a sign of authenticity. The tortillas are made fresh, which I realized after the first bite. I asked, and sure enough -- made right in the kitchen. My sister-in-law Who brought me there after her husband kept taking all his friends, order the birria tacos which were also fire. They bring out complimentary chips and salsa -- the salsa is mild, fresh, and just right. They also have a red sauce with a solid kick if you like a little heat. The gentlemen working there was friendly, and I got to brush up on my Spanish, which made the experience even better. TVs were playing sports, and the background music was classic Mexican -- just like home aka California lol The restaurant has only been open six months, but it already has 50+ five-star reviews, which says a lot. Surprisingly, I was one of two people dining. They offer takeout too, if you're on the go. The only thing I'll say is that the name doesn't quite do the place justice -- it's easy to overlook, but once you've been, you'll get it. The food speaks for itself, and it's only a matter of time before they have a solid crowd of regulars. They also serve alcoholic beverages, which is a nice bonus if you're looking to unwind with your meal after a long day of work. If you're looking for something low-key but authentic, this spot is worth checking out. _____ Este pequeño lugar escondido no es solo bueno -- es comida mexicana de verdad. No Tex-Mex. En serio, es auténtico. Hay bastante estacionamiento, y aunque no está justo sobre una calle principal, vale la pena encontrarlo. Por dentro, el espacio es más amplio de lo que parece. Nos recibió un caballero que nos sentó de inmediato y luego tomó nuestro pedido en un dispositivo digital -- algo que agradecí, porque así la cocina recibe todo exactamente como lo pedimos. El menú tiene muchas opciones, y me emocionó ver que ofrecían tacos de lengua y tripa -- algo que ya no se encuentra tan fácilmente. Sin duda, una señal de autenticidad. Las tortillas son hechas a mano y frescas. Me di cuenta desde la primera mordida. Pregunté, y sí -- las hacen ahí mismo en la cocina. Mi cuñada, que fue quien me llevó después de que su esposo empezó a llevar a todos sus amigos, pidió los tacos de birria... también estaban . Te sirven chips y salsa de fresca. El caballero que nos atendió fue muy amable, y pude practicar un poco mi español, lo cual hizo que la experiencia fuera aún mejor. Había pantallas con deportes y música mexicana de fondo -- se sentía como en casa, o sea, California jaja. El restaurante solo lleva abierto seis meses, pero ya tiene más de 50 reseñas de cinco estrellas, lo cual dice mucho. Curiosamente, solo había otra persona comiendo ahí ese día. También ofrecen comida para llevar si andas con prisa. Lo único que diría es que el nombre no le hace justicia. La comida habla por sí sola, y es solo cuestión de tiempo antes de que tengan una clientela fija. También sirven bebidas alcohólicas, lo cual es un buen plus si quieres relajarte después de un día largo de trabajo. Si buscas algo sencillo pero auténtico, este lugar vale la pena.

It's a big spacious restaurant. We were seated promptly and brought some warm chips and salsa. Salsa was good. Chips were basic. Service was prompt. The food was just ok. The chicken enchilada verde was quite good. The chicken was moist and seasoned. The verde was a tad bland, but the chicken was seasoned so well that it balanced out. The pork tamal was drier than the Sahara desert and basically inedible because of how dry it. The pork had a strong flavor of raw chili. The tamal is a hard pass. The refried beans were watery. The rice was bland. The pollo tropical was bland. The portions were actually small, but we did get lunch portions, so they were expected to be a little smaller. The prices were good. Our whole ticket with drinks was under $30. I likely wouldn't go back because there was an overall theme of a lack of seasoning in the food.

The food is excellent. The rice and refried beans are exactly what you'd expect, cooked well and very tasty. All the meats are great, but their picadillo (shredded combo of beef and pork) is best in our opinion. We've tried a couple of different dishes but I believe their Mole Enchiladas are the best. We tried their chalupa and true to the name, it was the size of a small boat. Thin shell, fried crisp, tons of toppings, it was almost a meal by itself. In the restaurant, we tried the fried ice cream. Sharing size, and so good. When we had delivery, they included a bag of chips and a cup of salsa for us. Very nice! We really like this place and highly recommend it.
