    I can't tell you how authentic this might be, but it sure is delicious. Rather than have one of the varieties of fried chicken, I had the grilled. It arrived with a whole lot of chicken on the plate, a good amount of fluffy rice, some salad and a grilled jalapeno (that was pleasantly warm and not overly hot). Speaking of hot, it was right off the grill and plenty hot. Service was good. There is a television (tuned to a Spanish-language station) and a small play area for the kiddies. Soda is canned Pepsi varieties, they didn't appear to have a fountain. Great food, good service, decent price.

    I ordered the two piece and this came out. Looks like only 1 and 1/2 pieces for $8. 95. Buyer beware

    I ordered the two piece and they brought me a wing and 1/2 of a breast and called that two pieces. I think a visit from the unit of weights and measures is in order. Don't bother with these pendejos

    Awesome experiences here. The people are so very nice, and the food is amazing. It is literally the best chicken in Charlotte.

    They are topped with a cabbage salad, that I might say is pretty tasty for just being cabbage and some type of red salsa.

    Our daughter lives in Charlotte, and this was the very first place she took us after picking us up…read morefrom the airport, one of her favorite spots in town. After one meal here, we understood why. Calle Sol has a cool laid back vibe, great service, strong mojitos, and food that absolutely delivers. The ceviche is the star for a reason. Super fresh with bright flavor, and the crispy plantains alongside it were the perfect seafood fish combo. The skinny spicy margarita with the tajín rim and mojitos were excellent too. Our favorite was the Cuban rice. Rich flavor with this aioli on top that made everyone at the table keep stealing bites from each other. The vaca frita (beef) had great flavor with crispy edges done right, and the banana tres leches dessert was flat out dangerous. Easily enough for three people unless your family has zero self control. We don't really have Cuban food like this back home, so this felt like a treat. Safe to say our daughter picked a winner. We'll definitely be back next trip to Charlotte.

Pisco sour: definitely taste the alcohol. I enjoyed it. A little sweet. Not really sour or I couldn't taste it. Chichamora: spiced drink. Light tangy fruity flavor. Like a light punch. Fried yucca and cheesy: 4 stars. Yummy yucca balls filled with cheeses you have to eat hot for the gooey cheesiness but be careful because the are hot. Make sure to eat with the dip for next level flavor. Shrimp ceviche: 3.5 stars. Different toppings provided different flavors (I.e. crunchy corn, sweet potatoes, salty plaintains chips, & soft corn kernels) texture but I wished there was more shrimp and a slight more acidity or lime juice. Also some of the fried corn kernels were burnt so it had bitter taste. Vaca Frita:Garlic/onion shredded braised beef. 4.5 stars. Came with beans, rice, and yucca mash. Overall the flavors were good and I really enjoyed it.

This is the second time in a row that I've used it and it is very well maintained. It's large, clean and odorless.

When I initially visited (in their first couple of months after opening) I was super in love with this place. Unfortunately every experience after that has been super inconsistent. I've ordered their seafood sancocho three times and every single time I've gotten a different dish. The last time I ordered it - it was more so vegetables with 2 teaspoons of broth, some rice and old fried yucca. If you look at the photo - I believe you can tell the yucca looks like it'd been in the fridge for days and they just threw it in there for good measure. The waiter didn't smile and generally looked miserable to have to deal with me. I asked for hot sauce that never came. Just overall, really disappointed in my last experience here and unfortunately won't be retuning due to how inconsistent my last few visits have been. You might get something that tastes decent, you might not.

I've been meaning to come try the food and finally got the chance recently. The vibes and aesthetics are top tier here - my kind of place!

It's the perfect spot for date night or quiet night to eat by yourself. The service is nice and quick with the plates coming out quick after each other. We started with French 75 - they were a little tart / stronger than expected . The first plate to come out was the Duck Confit Taco- nothing really to grab my attention; the larger pieces of Duck on top were cold however it had chunks of Duck within the taco. Next few plates were the Sea Scallops and Firecracker shrimp - they were our favorite of the night ! 10/10 for both dishes ; seasoned really well and the flavor on the rice was so tasty as well as the scallops cooked perfectly. The crispy firecracker shrimp were a great size and plenty to share . The Crab Spring Roll and Crab Burrito - the burrito was our least favorite with no true flavor to it. The crab spring roll had a really great crispy wrap , the interior of it reminded me of crab Rangoon mix which was different. Overall decent experience with a few highlights of the night ! I would come and visit again to try the different seasonal items that come on the menu next!
