    The lunch specials are just not it anymore. $18 for a taco, cheese enchilada and a cheese covered chip (tiny tostada). The burger is good and it comes with fries but better options for that nearby at much more reasonable prices.. Service has been hit or miss. Today was miss. I asked what came with the huevos rancheros and was directed back to the menu "it comes with what it says there." What it says is two tortillas, two scrambled eggs and sauce. Can't believe that's the whole thing. Decided to pass,., This trip we asked for a table away from the door as it was very cold out. Our party and every one after us was sat in the front area. It had to be sub-60°. The whole backs area, where the ovens and the warm are, were not being seated. I'll be back but only because of the convenience...do better. Basic lunch specials should not be $20+tip.

    I've been to three different Superica locations across various states, and it never disappoints! The chicken is always delish - juicy, flavorful, and smokey. The green salsa.... addictive. I could easily dip anything in it and be happy for hours. Can't go wrong with a simple marg, and the tequila selection is top tier. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and the food is consistently on point. Highly recommend it if you're a fan of good flavors and a solid drink menu!

    Went here on a date night & it did not disappoint!! Superica is such a fun little Tex-Mex spot that strikes the perfect balance between lively and laid-back. We were greeted right away and seated immediately (reservations definitely helped, because this place was buzzing). Our server was a total gem!! friendly, attentive, and happy to walk us through the menu. The chorizo queso was the star of the night - flavorful, and dangerously easy to keep dipping into. The warm, perfectly salted chips made it impossible to stop. Drinks were solid, portions generous, and the overall vibe made for such an easy, enjoyable evening. Whether it's date night or a night out with friends, Superica feels like one of those places you'll keep coming back to.

    Migas Plate
    Ian N.

    Migas Plate (4/5): A nice blend of flavors but a little bland overall. The flour tortillas that came with it were also very good! I didn't like the refried beans or the sauce though (they were both strangely sour). Hot Cakes (4/5): The hotcakes themselves were very eggy and not my favorite, but the syrup was SO good. More like caramel sauce than maple syrup. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

    My husband and I were on a time crunch for a show at the Spectrum Center, so I made a reservation here about a week ahead of time for dinner. I'm glad I did because they were busy on a Saturday night! We were seated immediately once we arrived. The interior was absolutely beautiful with lots of natural light from the windows. After we were seated, the server brought us free chips & salsa. The chips were good, but the salsa wasn't for me. I love chunky red salsa and they gave us a salsa verde. I ordered a vegetarian Taco Dinner with 1 hard shell and 2 soft. The kitchen initially messed up my order and brought me all hard shells, but the server quickly took it back to the kitchen and it was re-served to me correctly within 2 minutes. The rice & beans were a basic white rice and black beans, but the menu advertised the meal with fried beans and Mexican rice. I didn't care enough to question this substitution as much as I did with the wrong shells. After tasting both sets of shells, I definitely preferred the soft over the hard one. Server was nice and quick. Food had giant portions so you really get your money's worth. I love Tex-Mex food so I'd go to this place again. For those that don't want to drive, this place was super conveniently located near a Blue Line stop. There's also a ton of shops to check out nearby if there is a wait to be seated.

    Took my mentee here for a lunch hang out. I love the ambiance and how the place is full of light. It took no time for us to get seated and it's full of space even during lunch hours. He even enjoyed it. I was quite surprised even with the kids menu the portion sizes are plentiful. I would recommend for a family night out or somewhere to try that's not too loud and you can have conversations without having to scream.

    All the yums! This place was teeming with people and bustling on a Saturday night, and we were sat quickly. The food, drinks, and the service was top notch. The street tacos are tasty. The service was fast and friendly. The drinks are delicious. Great spot for vibes, bluegrass music & videos on display, and great food. Cheers!

    Stopped to meet some work friends for lunch on a Thursday, safe to say it was an AWESOME choice. Place is situated in an old knitting mill giving the old rustic feeling, but they incorporated a good tex-mex vibe with murals and some southwestern memorabilia. The best burger I've ever had was the Hamburguesa. Absolutely amazing. We had an awesome server and he was quick as Sonic. Amazing burger. Great job guys and girls. Highly recommend.

    Me and my friend were starving one day after a workout and just happened to be passing by and stopped in. The food was great and my portion was way larger than expected. We sat at the bar to sit down quickly and despite us not really drinking (since we just worked out) the bartender was really nice and still checked in on us and made friendly conversation. Great place!

    I was visiting my brother in Charlotte for the weekend, and was going to check out some spots I haven't visited yet. I'm really glad my mom was wanting a margarita, because he recommended your place! I've passed by it before and never went in. Really glad we came here. With everything that's going on in the world, this business is raising money for disaster relief in Asheville for service people. The margaritas were $15 and $10 were going to be donated to the cause. The margaritas were spot on and delicious! The vibe and atmosphere was a very calming presence. It's definitely family oriented if you want to bring your family here. My brother, mom, and I sat at the bar and we had great service. By the time we left, there was a line out the door. I see why there was a line! I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in town.

    Food, service, and ambiance was amazing. Drink's were not light and on point! Had the al pastor and barbacoa street tacos, and were delicious. Blood orange and Bandit Queen Margaritas hit the adult spot and the agua fresca of cucumber and hibiscus balanced it all out. Will definitely be back!

    The location of Superica is extremely convenient (so walkable)! The interior ambiance was very cute, although was music was a tad loud for a Tuesday evening. Our server was so sweet and attentive and provided helpful recommendations. The food and cocktails hit the spot. Will definitely be back!

    ARCADE WITH SCREAMING OUT OF CONTROL KIDS ;((…read more I fell in love with Superica when I first moved to Charlotte nearly three years ago, and it quickly became 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.

Mal Pan is sort of like "nouvelle cusine" but applied to Mexican food ... more about presentation than the food itself. At the risk of sounding like an overwrought Midwestern foodie, we thought the portions were small, the prices were high, the food was just alright, the rice and beans presentation was silly, and the margaritas were more show than go. And chips and salsa, priced at over $5 for a serving, seemed a bit over the top since most Mexican restaurants offer that free. An example of the nouvelle cuisine: they have fancy butternut squash and sweet potato tacos, but no real tacos made like mamá or mami used to prepare. The rice and beans that come with most meals were presented in the form of yin-yang symbol in a tiny saucer ... couldn't have been more than a tablespoon of each ... come on, it's rice and beans not frankincense and myrrh. The highlight of the meal was the waitstaff, attentive without being intrusive. Don't think we'll be back.
