I feel like I am late to the party. I finally...finally made my way over the Renaldo's Culinary Experience today. I couldn't believe that I passed this establishment every day on my commute to work. Well of course I ordered the oxtail pizza. Yep, I splurged and spent $29. Was it worth it? Obviously, yes!!! The oxtail was tender, there was a lot of cheese and the overall flavor was amazing. Will I be back? Of course, maybe next week. I think I will try the wings next. But honestly, I can't decide. The menu looks so good. As I was in line today, a regular was behind me. He said there is nothing bad on this menu. Everything is great. Let me also note, that the music was bumping. It was 70's day today. This place is carry-out only to remind you. read more

Charlotte needed a creative kitchen in town and this place is delivering (literally). I made a plan on Saturday and hit up Renaldo's for a solo lunch. I got there around 11:30am and snagged a spot right up front. The music was playing and led me down a short hall to amazing aromos and a delicious menu. I knew what I wanted, the oxtail pizza that has had Charlotte TikTok in a chokehold for weeks. The gentleman that took my order hand delivered my pizza to my car (he was so sweet and helpful) and smell made me droll. I my car (I didn't want anyone seeing me devour this masterpiece) and found a nice cool spot in the parking lot to dig in. The flavor profile had me taking bite after, trying to get a little bit of everything in to the perfectly thin crust and drag the bite through the sauce with just the right kick. My only complaint, it's too big for me to eat alone. 2 slices had me full and satisfied. Definitely worth a trip and try! read more

First time trying this spot. They were not taking card only cash cashapp or Zelle. We waited about 15-20 min for the Marley pizza and chicken Philly rolls. The food smelled amazing on the ride back home. Pizza had so much flavor, not your typical chain pizza 4/5. While the chicken Philly eggrolls didn't give me 'Philly' more of a chicken and cheese it was still really good 4/5. I look forward to trying some of their other menu items. Def would recommend visiting!!! read more

I would never in a million years think salmon tacos with Alfredo sauce dipping sauce would be good but it was phenomenal. Food is made to order so takes a minute depending on how many orders are being made but well worth the wait. I'll absolutely be back! read more

Renaldo's Culinary Experience - Oxtail pizza aka I'm coming back soon - American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I called Monday around 1:00 and was asked to hold. I was only 2 miles away and had already been on hold for 5 minutes so I started to drive there. When I arrived I circled the parking lot and checked the address again but never saw a sign for Renaldo's. By this time I'd been on hold for 15 minutes and gave up. I can't say what the food was like, nor can I tell my friends about it. I've been in food service for decades and my first impression is a negative one. There's too much competition in the area where I can spend my money read more

This place is amazing & I loved everything about it. All 4+ people who tried the food with me said the same. I've been eyeing this place from their instagram pictures and stories for a while now and finally got to come and try it. I got really lucky because there was no line when I came in but right after I ordered there was a line through the hallway! I ordered a lot of food however they were still very quick (15 minutes) with preparing it and everything was hot and cooked just right. The staff inside was also very nice and patient too as I navigated the long menu. It is not a sit down restaurant, you just go inside, place the order, then wait in the hall or your car for the food. The menu is so long- they have all types of tacos, pastas, burgers, pizzas, etc. Then they also have their specials menu to go along with it. You can't come here and not want at least 3 things. I got the oxtail pizza (of course), salmon alfredo birria tacos, garlic parmesan wings, lobster mac, mac and cheese egg rolls, and some more wings and lobster mac for people in our party. I paid around $107 which I think is great for that much food and the quality of it. We honestly loved everything and was snacking on it all afternoon. We had no complaints about anything. The oxtail pizza and salmon alfredo tacos were top 2. The wings are also super juicy so if you like yours crispy you should say that when ordering. I heard from other people the salmon and pastas are amazing too so I'll definitely be back for a round 2 of trying everything else. read more

Although we weren't necessarily greeted, there, wasn't a issue with service. The food is very, very well dressed. The presentation is immaculate. The taste all combined together very well. We got the fried Mac rolls and the oxtail pizza. The Mac rolls were really good. There's a nice crunch on the eggroll and the bacon is not too rubbery or crunchy it pairs well together. The oxtail pizza has a very sweet taste. It is not a red based pizza which I liked. The dough is cooked very well oxtail very tender juicy overall 10 out of 10 would've never expected it. Looks like we found a new restaurant place to add to our list. read more

This place has been in heavy rotation on my social media feed so I decided to try it. I don't think it's bad by far just not my cup of tea. It's a small Togo place with no seating area. One plus is everything is freshly made be prepared to wait 30mins. I wanted the infamous oxtail pizza, when i tried to ordered it, the person at the register asked the owner if it was available, the owner responded with "what did I just say...is it 3 o'clock yet". Rude for no reason. He treats his employees like children. He yelled at the cashier for trying to help in the kitchen. Nonetheless, I continued my mission on trying his food. I started with the chicken Philly rolls, they were salty and nothing special. Second, I got 8 hot honey wings, I ate one due to the high sodium. Lastly, the chicken Birria tacos, finally something worth the price. Those were good, still salty but nothing I'd return for. I prefer the traditional Birria over chicken. Perhaps if he wasn't so rude to his employees I'd give it another try. Every place has its off days as far as the food being over seasoned but the customers advised me that he always treats his employees like that. read more

Renaldo's Culinary Experience - Chicken Birria Tacos - American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I've been eyeing Renaldo's Culinary Experience on social media like it's the last slice of pizza. Every time I'd end up on DoorDash, there it was, flaunting those upscale prices like a bougie boutique. I mean, who charges a king's ransom for a sandwich, right? But there I was, near his place on Remount Rd, and my stomach was making executive decisions. "Come on, it's lunchtime and you're starving," my belly argued. So, I caved faster than a diet at a dessert buffet. Content creators have been posting over four dishes: the lobster mac & cheese, lobster grilled cheese, oxtail pizza, and the oxtail grilled cheese. Tough choices. I went for the oxtail grilled cheese--it comes with a side of crispy waffle fries and a birria dip that's pretty much liquid gold. The bread, grilled to a crisp perfection. The cheese and oxtail combo, melded together better than a hit remix. The waffle fries, they might just start a turf war with that chicken joint that takes Sundays off. Dropping $26 on a grilled cheese felt like a splurge, but hey, it was delicious. Just a heads-up: devour that masterpiece quick! Leave it in the to-go box too long, and you'll have a soggy disaster worthy of a foodie horror show. Next time, I'm eyeing the oxtail pizza. Because apparently, I haven't learned my lesson about fancy fast food. read more

Renaldo's Culinary Experience - Oxtail Grilled Cheese - American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Oxtail pizza was a 15/10!! Also tried the lobster grilled cheese and bang bang shrimp...yes, absolutely!

This was my first time trying Renaldo's. I'd heard so much about it but was never in the area until today. I pulled in a parking lot to get the directions and it just so happened that it was their parking lot. Luckily, there wasn't a line to order when I arrived, so ordering was quick and painless. The only issue I had was deciding what to get. I decided on the garlic parm wings and fries. There was a bit of a wait because everything is made to order. It was fine because I wasn't in a hurry and I was admiring the figurine collection. The wings and fries were perfect. What more can I say. The wings were drenched in flavor. Also, they were huge. My picture didn't do them justice. This was a good trip. I'm glad I got the chance to check them out. I highly recommend that you do, as well. I can't wait to go back. read more

They feel like family in here! First time trying on my lunch break and I followed the gps until I saw the decorated door with the restaurants name. Once I got in to the restaurant, I noticed that there was no inside seating. I'd placed a call in order, so I went to the counter and gave my name. When I was paying, one of the brothers, noticed my NC A&T mask and we started joking about schools. This really made me feel as if I was amongst family. When conversed for a while as the cashier was getting my bags together. When I informed him this that this was my first time trying them and that I was Yelp Elite, he told me to bring ALL my Yelp Friends & A&T family. So you guys, give them a try! You've been invited!! I ordered the Best of Both Worlds Burger, salmon Philly egg rolls, garlic bread, and skittles tea (the blue one), & was able to try the candied grapes, since we'd quickly established a rapport. Best of Both Worlds Burger (burger with onion rings, Cheerwine BBQ, topped with Lobster knuckle, bacon, and cheddar cheese) So.. OF COURSE I ORDERED IT!!! Duhhhhh! The burger is phenomenal, but personal preference would have been to add more bbq sauce to the burger, but that's just me. I only ate about a quarter of the burger for lunch bc it's huge, but those flavore profiles are unmatched. I've never had a lobster knuckle on a burger with onion rings & bbq sauce before so my pallet was bursting with flavors. The salmon Philly egg rolls come with a sweet chili sauce & they really were the show stoppers!! The eggs rolls were packed with salmon, and bits of cheese. They were crispy on the outside & chewy & flaky on the inside from the salmon filling. The garlic bread was an addition bc I wanted to try theirs, and it was ok, but I'd def have to try it again with a pasta instead of by itself. I feel like the taste will be brought out with the cheese sauces from their pastas. The candied grapes were sweet, multi textured, and reminded me of treats I've eaten as a child. While eating them, my entire mouth turned a bright pink color, but I couldn't stop munching on them. They were tasty, & I'd would order the again. I also tried the skittles lemonade. They had different flavors, & I tried a blue colored one. The flavors may have been a berry of some sort, but it was cold, sweet, tasty and refreshing. THEY WILL BE SEEING ME AGAIN. I cant wait to bring my friends & family over to let the get the culinary experience here!! Job well done guys!! read more

I can't believe this place. I should have known. No one calls their restaurant"experience". You have to really know your food is that good to pull that off. And he will not let you down. Between Yelp and my guy chime Time on YouTube I know some great eateries. And can't wait to visit them all. Chime Time critique this place so I was like I'm all in. First of all like I have said before if you can give me quality food that's in or near the hood you get to start from me. I constantly want the hood to win. And this is a winner. First of all let's start with these egg rolls. You can get a chicken egg roll, a salmon egg roll, or a Philly cheese egg roll. Crazy!! The sandwiches are sick! I had some kind of truffle butter lobster grilled cheese sandwich that was so rich and cheesy with fresh lobster meat I still can't get over it. This place was crowded the whole time there was a line coming out the door. And the service is so fast. Local people, nurses, delivery drivers, maintenance mechanical men. You name it they came and got it and they were out. They have Skittles lemonade. Yes lemonade with crushed Skittles in it. So damn good. They heard me and my wife talking and recognize our tongue. After he found out we were from Charleston he took my wife in the back and hooked the wrap with some goodies including a big jug of banana pudding. Yum yum yum yum yum. We tried the oxtail Pizza. Yes I said it.OXTAIL PIZZA!!!!! IO...M...G!!!! Do you see what I'm saying? This is absolutely an experience. The jerk wings were so freaking good. That jerk sauce is different than any of I've ever had. I'm going to have to come back cuz there's so much on this menu to conquer. This is five star stuff people. Everything we tasted it took us minutes to calculate what I taste buds what we were doing. This is an experience sir. It truly is. read more

My goodness... this duck pizza was fantastic! My good friend Cory @dailyspecialclt recommended them and he never misses! :) So glad I checked them out. It's in an odd spot and kind of hard to find, more so because there was no sign. I had to call to make sure I was in the right place. Once I found the entrance pick up was quick and easy and I sped home to indulge. Some of the best pizza I've had in a long while. Can't wait to have it again! read more

I saw a few of my friends post about this pizza and it looked really good. With the current state of the pandemic, we didn't really want to eat in a restaurant. Pizza makes great takeout, so we found ourselves here. The experience of picking up the pizza was not good. I called ahead for a 4pm pick up time since there was no way to order online. The person on the phone seemed kind of confused the whole time, but I got the order placed. When I got there to pick up my pizza, they weren't wearing masks (there is still a mask mandate). The person at the register was, but the room was tiny and the others were still very close to customers. Then they told me it would be 3 minutes until my pizza was ready. It was 20+ minutes later when I finally got my pizza. Normally this wouldn't bother me, but I wasn't comfortable having to stay inside with all of them not wearing masks. Now onto the food. We ordered: - Duck Pizza - Shoomster Pizza I really enjoyed the pizza! The duck was my favorite. The flavor of the mushroom one was good, but it was kind of dry without a sauce. The crust is some kind of garlic parmesan which is fantastic. My husband never eats his crust and he said his favorite bites were ones with crust. My overall rating reflects the fact that they weren't wearing masks during one of the worst points in the pandemic when there is a mask mandate. The food is definitely better than 3 stars. read more

I was in the mood for pizza today and I decided to check out a black owned pizzeria. They not only offer customized pizzas but they offer other dishes as well . Everything from lobster fries, burgers , appetizers , salads & desserts the choices are limitless . Oh and they have an entire section catering to vegan dishes as well . So many choices to choose from when it came to what type of pizza I wanted to order . I went with the Virgin Island Pie that was topped with Blackened Salmon, peppers , onions, red sauce ,& a drizzle of sweet chili sauce & mozzarella. This was heaven in a box . I couldn't help but notice everyone ordering the key lime cake so I could I not ? Oh my gawd this key lime cake was like no other I had in a long time . I knew when I seen a line of people outside all of this food was going to be bussin . Also please note they are no longer in Gastonia .

The wait time both in line and to get your food is long. First glance walking into the place you'll see all these Dragon Ball and Naruto figurines everywhere, I should've known something was going to be wrong with the place just by their horrible taste in anime. Standing in line for so long gives you time to look at the menu, but there were A LOT of things they no longer did anymore, please change the menu! I ordered cheese pizza and the lobster Mac and cheese, the cheese pizza was horrible. I didn't think you could mess up cheese pizza but they have confirmed to me that you can. The lobster Mac and cheese was ok but that was a baby sized portion and hardly any lobster bites, call it 'Macaroni and cheese sprinkled with lobster bites" read more

Jerk wings were a hit and great service. I enjoyed my food on my ride back to Columbia.

The food here is some of the best I've experienced since I've moved to Charlotte. My husband and I had a hard time deciding what to eat, so we ordered the oxtail pizza, oxtail and shrimp pasta, salmon egg rolls, salmon birria tacos, and loaded garlic bread and everything was amazing. In regard to service, my knowledge is second hand because my husband went but he did express that service was quick and extremely organized. We will definitely be back! I should have taken pictures but it was devoured before it was even a thought. read more

One of the best spots in the city! This was my 3rd time ordering food from Renaldo's Culinary Experience, and it did not disappoint. Walking in to place my order, I was greeted warmly and felt comfortable. The oxtails and shrimp pasta dish was delicious and a whole experience. It is so worth the price. I was unable to eat everything in one seating, so I kept the rest for dinner. I HIGHLY recommend. I am now looking into them possibly catering my mother's 75th celebration. If you are looking for a great experience with great food, you have to stop by! read more

I've been planning to try Reynaldo's for a minute now & today was the day I got it. I walked in & ordered the Chicken Birria Tacos out of curiosity. Note: I dont really care for tacos regularly. There were some people ahead of me so my food took about 45mins. I finished my first taco & decided it was time to give them a rating. Normally I type up a draft & come back to it when I feel like. They called me up, I came in, got my food & sat down. I had to let out a omg because of how good it was. It was well seasoned cheesy & had a drizzle of sweet coleslaw on it that just came together once you dipped the taco on the stock. I will be returning but to try the rest of the menu. Reynaldo's is definitely worth the trip. read more

Found out about Renaldo's from @dailyspecialclt. Their food looked amazing and I could not wait to try it. Since finding out about it, I have ordered from Renaldo's several times and every time it has been worth it. Location: Renaldo's is located off West Blvd in a little shopping center just off the highway. It's a weird location and is kind of hard to see if you aren't looking for it. The shopping center tends to be empty so every time I've been there hasn't been an issue with parking. However, I have heard that Renaldo's gets busy so just keep that in mind. Service: My friend has never complained about the service. It's not really a dine-in spot. Keep in mind that they don't take cards. Food: I love that there are some interesting twists on classic foods. Today I tried the RCE supreme pizza and the oxtail and shrimp pasta. Both were delicious. Previously, I've tried the duck pizza, chicken bacon ranch pizza, wings, bang bang shrimp, mac rolls and some other items. The only item I was not a fan of was the mac roll. However, my friend liked the mac rolls so maybe it was just me. Overall: As long as the food continues to be good, I will keep going back! read more
