    Mexican rice
    Gail S.

    We have been going to Suprerica Tex-Mex in Charlotte over a year. We usually get the lunch Specials which is the perfect size meal. The Tommy's margarita is made fresh and is very refreshing. The Service is always Excellent and the food is made from fresh, healthy ingredients. The green and red salsas are tasty and not too spicy. Highly recommend!

    I have not eaten at superica in a few years and i was pleasantly surprised how tasty everything was as i had not remembered it being so good! The queso is a must! The chips are thin which we loved for the different dips they give you to try, the green one was my favorite. The presentation of the food was perfect, the service was quick! The atmosphere was great, we will definitely go back to try other menu items

    Margarita mocktail

    We always have great service when we go to Superica. I enjoyed the margarita mocktail and the guacamole was tasty. The chips that come with the guac were SO greasy. I actually didn't eat those, and just reached for the regular chips that came with the salsa instead. I have fond memories of going to Superica 7-8 years ago and LOVING the chicken suizas enchiladas. They were incredible back then, but something has changed. To me, the quality of the food here has gone way down hill. For the price, it just isn't worth it.

    Queso and Salsa

    Ah-freakn-Maze-Balls. I came, and Devin served us right. She was so engaging. The food was phenomenal. I low-key was worried cause it was gringo city. I just knew the food would be basic Texmex. But ahhhh, it had seasoning. You hear me they used seasoning. Rice, usually the most boring basic dish, was phenomenal. It was so flavorful and infused with a sultry smokey flavor. The beans were bomb, too. I was flabbergasted. The meat was moist, tender, smoked, and piled high. We got a Pollo Quesadilla, Barbacoa Taco, and Steak Fajitas. Can we say fire! The salsa is good too it has a nice smokey flavor a bit runny, though. They make their own in-house soft tortillas. Lastly, the Tres Leche is delicious. It was swimming in a ocianuc luxury of sweeten milk. I ate it all. You have to try it before Tia in the kitchen goes MIA. Cause, baby, those plates were plating.

    Tiny shrimp
    Michael A.

    Price was 20 dollars for three tacos with three tiny shrimp in each. One of the shrimp was clearly more than a few hours old being held under a heat lamp or a warms water dish. Not worth it in any way. I guess they have steep rent to pay because I can't see why else their prices would be so high. Again, maybe 3oz of shrimp and half a cup of beans for 20 dollars. Only reason it has two stars is because the chips were decent, hard to mess those up.

    Superica is a high end chain with a few locations around the South, serving Tex Mex food along with tasty margaritas and cocktail. The Strawberry Hill location represents the second in the Charlotte area and I was able to come in for dinner recently with a group of friends. The decor definitely reflects the Tex Mex roots of the restaurant but with rock music videos playing in the background and a contemporary vibe it is far from your typical Mexican restaurant. I'm very fond of their queso dip and the chips always come out fresh. For my entree I last tried the enchiladas. While their food is certainly good I find that it is a little overpriced. If I was hankering for Mexican food I feel like there are other options that are far cheaper. Superica on the other hand is a solid option for a night out with friends. I'm a particular fan of their cocktail "The Matador" but if you are feeling a margarita it is hard to go wrong with any on their menu.

    Chips!!

    I think I'm getting so old that I don't even remember what used to be in this spot... in either case, Superica and it's 2nd Charlotte location (the first being in Southend) is serving up their familiar menu. Started with OG Margaritas and it's hard to top those (except if you just get tank of that stuff). Our server Emily, was super friendly and we decided to skip the apps and go right into the mains. I had the Chile Relleno and the chips with all the salsas were perfect for a mid-week dinner stop. According to yelp, they didn't open until 5 and we got there right at 5 past, however the restaurant was filling up so they must have adjusted their hours. There were a smattering of folks at the bar, lots of tables with young families (I appreciate the early dinner since the kids have to go to bed sometime ;)) Overall a nice experience in one of the "older" shopping centers in town. Plenty of parking, but watch out for that rush hour traffic on Fairview and Providence... traffic moves, but when you want chips and salsa, it doesn't not move quite as fast as you want it to.

    Superica is a super find if you're looking for Tex-Mex (or Mex-Tex, as they consider themselves). Entree portions are large - we got the picadillo enchiladas and the chicken chalupas - and you'll likely have leftovers. I especially loved the two house-made salsas with fresh chips (provided complimentary) and queso (the best I've had in Charlotte!). These were perfect and paired nicely with the ginger margarita I ordered. Service was great, and they even provided us with a fresh bag of chips and salsa to take home with us when we asked for more chips to go with our leftovers. My Austin-born husband felt right at home here, so that's saying something!

    I fell in love with Superica when I first moved to Charlotte nearly three years ago, and it quickly…read morebecame 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.

Yes they were crispy, hot and fresh. Served with refried beans and rice, the beans were delicious! Service was prompt. This is a very large restaurant so group sizes have plenty of room.

We were seated quickly and greeted by a spunky and lively server, who went by the name Lil Ducky. She was just as cute as she could be. Lil Duckie, the bar manager and our host for the evening. She's giving hospitality like you don't get anywhere else. She created a welcoming environment by telling the story behind the restaurant. They are family owned and very big on sustainability. The staff as a whole were very welcoming. My son and I ordered some drinks. He had a house special Margarita, at the recommendation of our host. I had the Old Oaxacan which is similar to an Old Fashioned. We also shared a Butternut Squash Tamale and man it was delicious! For our main course, we both went with burritos. I had the Surf and Turf Cali Burrito and my son had the Shrimp Burrito. They both came with a side of rice and beans. The burritos were huge and full of flavor! We both were able to have half of them for lunch the next day. Two meals in one...you can't beat that! We ended the night with a dessert recommendation of one of there seasonal flan. It made you want to kick the spoon afterwards. I really loved the vibe of the place and look forward to dining there again. Major props to the staff for making our evening so enjoyable!

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.

These tacos used to be under $5, but now at $5.50 each, this is still a budget friendly meal. I ordered two tacos and was full, but maybe could have had a third since they were so good. Since I can't handle too much spice I got the spicy seasoning on the side to sprinkle on the 'Nashville Hot Tofu" as needed. The fried paneer is mild. Both tasty vegetarian taco options.

Well, yes if you don't mind! It was so nice to enjoy the fall weather, people-watch, and eat my tacos. I loved the shrimp taco, but the salmon one was a little spicy for me. The salmon itself was delicious though. The queso was yummy. I did stay away from the cake, but it was tempting to try. It was fun listening to them call customers' names to pick up their orders, but someone also came out to check on tables and make sure everyone was okay. He addressed me by name--the same guy who took my order and walked my food out--then later checked on me again. Great place!
