    Shrimp Pack
    D A.

    I tried this spot for dinner on a Friday after working late. I ordered delivery via Grubhub. I ordered the Shack Pack which included fries, fried fish, shrimp, hush puppies, & I think a soft drink. I also ordered the crab, shrimp, & roasted corn bisque cup. The bisque was my favorite. The food was hot upon arrival. I need to return & dine in so that I can observe the service.

    Shrimp and crab Poboy and the big catfish sandwich.

    Wonderful customer service, insane value, and delicious food. What could be better? Our first time here, but will definitely be coming back!

    Fish sandwich from Skrimp's.

    First time visit, ordered a fish sandwich w fries. Not sure what to expect - but simply put, it was EXCELLENT! The only problem was a good one - the sandwich was HUGE, I was only able to eat half, it was delicious, so for me, it became two meals! Strongly recommend, my first visit won't be my last! file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/69/09/08542734-0A4A-403D-B8CB-F835022D7C17/78466478293__6191FD9D-F4DE-4C90-AC23-2697792DBF82.HEIC

    Blackened Flounder sandwich full of lovely cooked fish

    C'mon Over Here! I wholeheartedly rate this a 5 star, in their category of fresh, fast, and yummy semi-fast food. If you don't like food in a bag thru a drive thru, yet want something good in the fly, this place is for the seafood lover in You! So many options from fryed seafood to grilled. This place Gets Packed at lunch time, which is always a good sign, so I'd suggested placing an order for pickup if time is limited. Yet, BaaBee, you will not be disappointed! Now onto what I ordered. I wanted to order a shrimp po boy ( next time for sure) instead I went for the flounder sandwich, blackened. It's was delicious, I wanted to only eat half, but scarfed the whole thing down. I will say, I like more spice than this provided, but I get it! It was delicious after I kicked it up a notch to my liking. Fish cooked perfectly, sky high flounder with lettuce, tomatoes, and tartar sauce . OMGoodness!

    Big Cat Samwich - picture does not do it justice

    I stopped here today and ordered the big catfish sammich. It was really delicious and filling. The staff were very friendly. There was a decently sized patio and dining room. I'll probably be back to try one of the many other options, desserts, and sides.

    Big Cat Samwich

    I ordered the Big Cat Samwich, which came with a decent portion of catfish. I had mine spicy fried and swapped the tartar sauce for the spicy Po'boy sauce. The flavor was good, but overall I was expecting a bit more from it. For dessert, I tried the nana puddin', and unfortunately, I can't recommend it. It tasted store-bought, with Cool Whip that wasn't fully mixed in and soggy cookies. Definitely not worth it--1/10, and honestly, it shouldn't be on the menu. On the upside, the restaurant itself had a cool, welcoming vibe, and the staff was friendly with no complaints there. Just be prepared to pay $0.60 extra if you want additional sauce.

    Skrimp Shack is a regional chain that seems to have originated in the coastal region of Virginia, and only fairly recently made its way to the Carolinas. I had seen them billed as the chick fil a of the fish sandwich world, which is a lofty goal for sure. Typically the idea of fast food fish rings alarm bells, but I had heard good things, and I found myself in the area so I stopped in for lunch. The restaurant was clean and well decorated with a fun beachy vibe. The employees were friendly and overall it was a good vibe. I ordered a catfish sandwich but I think they misheard me and gave me a catfish basket instead. All good though! I like that you have to option to add some popcorn shrimp to your basket. It lets you try some shrimp without ordering a whole separate meal and instead only spending a couple extra dollars. My basket came with a side and I got the Mac and cheese. Def felt like it was lacking on the cheese. Overall I thought the food was decent, it reminds me of the fried seafood baskets you would get down in a beach town on vacation, which judging by the decor might be exactly what they are aiming for. I enjoyed my meal, not sure if this is the type of place I would go out of my way to find, but if I was in the area looking for a quick and decently priced meal I wouldn't think twice about popping in.

    Fabulous! This was my first visit. I ordered the The Shack pack with the advice of the cashier. It was a nice mix for me. I ordered the haddock for a $2 up charge with shrimp with the spicy seasoning. The cornbread was soft and moist. The "skrimp" and fish were perfectly seasoned and fried to perfection. The restaurant was clean.

    A pretty decent fast-food shrimp restaurant. The menu offers quote a few options. We tried the shrimp basket with sweet potatoe fries, the lobster bisque and the shrimp tacos with coleslaw. Everything was good, but the bisque was really good and the fries were super crispy and tasty. The service was good, bit the food took about 10 minutes. Be ready to be patient. The location was easy to find and the restaurant has its own free parking lot. Overall, pretty good.

    Is this location still open? I've been by here 3 times over the last few months and they've been closed every time.

    I ate lunch there about 6 weeks ago.

    Do they have grilled options? Looking for my gluten free friend.

The food was extremely mediocre in taste and portions. I ordered the two-taco combo plate that comes with two sides. I chose Mexican Rice & Refried Beans as my side and the tacos I chose were Birria. Let's start there. There is no option to order anything other but the same two tacos so for example, I wanted to order one chicken and one birria or one shrimp taco and one birria taco, that option was not available. Most places allow you to customize your taco orders. I arrived to pick up my food and noticed the bag was NOTICEABLY light...which is a stark contrast to when I order this same kind of meal from my regular go to taco spots. I get home and start taking the food out of the bag and the taco presentation was good. They looked good and had pretty much what you would expect to be on them. I then go to open the containers that had my sides and noticed that the containers barely had any sides in them. I'm talking about the containers were less than half full of the rice and beans...to where it looks like they only put a couple of spoonfuls in each container. Which explains why the bag was so light. The rice looked like the typical Mexican rice and smelled about the same. It tasted very average, nothing special. The refried beans however, had no texture to them and looked like someone just put all the beans into a blender and turned them into a thick paste of some sort. They were completely flavorless and also didn't have the layer of cheese on top on them that most authentic places put on there. The three tacos were also very flavorless. The meats had absolutely NO flavor to them which is crazy for a birria taco. They were full enough with meat, salsa, onions, etc. but the meat had very little seasoning. I also found two VERY hard and sharp pieces of BONE in one of my birria tacos. I have braces and thought one of my back brackets had come loose. Imagine my surprise when I spit everything out and saw a decent chuck of bone shard. I set i aside and took another bit of ended up with yet another piece, albeit smaller, of shard in my mouth. As someone who moved here from Los Angeles and prior to that lived in Texas, this place just doesn't cut it for tacos. Not even for a chain restaurant quality of tacos. It's just like so many of these trendy restaurants popping up all over Charlotte with mediocre food trying to make a quick buck before it's eventually shut down for whatever reason . I'll be sticking to my two go to places which are very authentic taco spots where I have NEVER been disappointed. They are little pricier, but quantity and quality are worth it at this point. I have attached pics and you can see the pathetic amount of rice and beans that they gave me in that entire container, smh. You can see it from the top view and the side view where you can see the shadow lines of how full the containers were. For comparison, the container was about the size of a medium Mac N Cheese from Chick-fil-A. Rice and beans are literally the CHEAPEST items to acquire and add to meals so being stingy with them is a really bad look.

We were seated pretty quickly on the patio. It was a nice breezy evening perfect for alfresco dining. Initially our service was fast. Our server came over. Took care of our water brought our additional drink orders and then took our order for food, but then it took a while. Eventually we did get it and I was surprised how well I liked the refried black beans and their rice I opted for their Birria tacos and they were very flavorful and the consommé was delicious. My husband opted for the fish tacos and well he had to fish for the fish in the fish tacos. It was very little and that was very disappointing. I asked him if he would return and he said he would, but he would either not get the fish tacos because they don't have near enough fish to be called a fish taco or he would ask that they put an adequate amount of fish in the taco. It was more slaw and cilantro than fish. But he did agree that the refried black beans were extremely delicious and the rice was very flavorful as well. We both like their chips, which are served with their house salsa. I was not a fan of the salsa. I like mine with a little bit more sweet nod, but my husband did enjoy the salsa. Overall, it was a good first time experience and I usually give a restaurant 2 to 3 tries before I figure if they're just not for me so we'll definitely come back again

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.

Tacos El Nevado came highly recommended, so I headed over for lunch with high hopes. The restaurant was packed when I arrived around 1:30 p.m., which is usually a good sign. It appears to be a converted fast-food building with its own parking lot, outdoor patio, and a casual, family-friendly atmosphere. Despite the Charlotte heat pushing triple digits, the dining room was comfortable and bustling. Service was friendly from the start, and I was quickly seated with ice water, lemon, fresh chips, and three house-made salsas. The chips were excellent--fresh, crisp, and clearly made in-house. The standout salsa for me was the red salsa, which packed plenty of heat and flavor. There was also a tomatillo salsa and a creamy green avocado-style salsa. Both were good, although the tomatillo leaned a little too tart for my taste. The menu is extensive, with everything from seafood dishes and quesadillas to tacos and larger combination plates. As someone who loves sampling a little of everything, I was hoping for more traditional combo options, but this menu takes a different approach. I ordered the crispy taco plate with rice and beans. The presentation was attractive, with the tacos served upright in a metal rack alongside refried beans and Mexican rice. The rice and beans were both delicious and easily the highlight of the plate. Where things got mixed for me was the taco filling. I was expecting a straightforward seasoned ground beef taco, but the beef filling tasted more like a guisado-style preparation with a softer texture and a slightly tangy flavor profile. It may simply be a regional style or a misunderstanding when ordering, but it wasn't what I had anticipated. The chicken taco, however, was excellent. Tender, flavorful, and clearly made with higher-quality chicken than you typically find in a crispy taco. After trying it, I immediately wished I had ordered all chicken. While this visit didn't completely win me over, I don't think it's fair to judge a restaurant by one dish. The packed dining room, friendly service, fresh chips, excellent salsas, and strong chicken taco all suggest there's more to explore here. Next time, I'd skip the crispy beef tacos and dive into the street tacos or some of the house specialties that seem to be what many regulars were ordering. Tacos El Nevado didn't become my favorite Mexican restaurant in Charlotte on this visit, but it earned a second chance. Life is too short not to eat well, Charlotte. Keep exploring. Sometimes the next great meal is just one menu item away.
