We had a magical experience here last night! We had our monthly girl dinner here and Yuli took care of us (gave us table service and so many delicious recommendations) and we all LOVED the watermelon margaritas and our delicious food. I had a barbacoa quesadilla that she recommended and it was so so good! We all can't wait to come back and felt such welcoming and warmth, everyone must try this place! Also great parking!! read more

I've been coming here for years now! The energy and customer service keeps bringing me back. Prices has increased over the years but quality has stay consistent. Staff is often walking around asking is anyone needs anything. I always do a build your own salad, topped with all the veggies. I love the little patio which is dog friendly. Tuesday 1/2 off margarita pitchers are my favorite, I ask for a spicy tajin rim and a couple jalapeños! I miss Raul handing out the $5 off coupons often! Bring them back! read more

Taco Mama - Dilworth - JORGE-S NACHOS with steak! - Mexican Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Large menu with a LOT of customization options. They have tons of toppings- all free- including both avocado and guacamole! Huge portion sizes for great prices! It gives a local warmth feeling in the dining area with a cute lit patio outside and tons of TV's with sports channels on. The service is fantastic- I told the cashier it was our first time there and she asked if we wanted her to run through the menu. She explained the menu in detail and gave awesome suggestions. I got the veggie nachos with tons of toppings on it and it was delicious and was truly big enough for two people to share. Would recommend for a more casual restaurant feel with high quality fresh ingredient food! read more

Mexican Mac N Cheese (4/5): Not sure what made this mac n cheese "Mexican", but it was pretty good. A little on the dry side, but I still enjoyed it. Chips and Salsa (4/5): The chips were thin and crispy (they reminded me of Chilis' chips). The salsa was fine but I would've loved even a little hint of spice. Barbacoa Burrito (3/5): The burrito wasn't very well mixed at all and the refried beans unfortunately dominated the flavor and texture. I liked the meat but there wasn't enough of it. The tortilla also wasn't anything special (comparable to Chipotle). 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) read more

Taco Mama - Charlotte, North Carolina While on a recent business trip to Charlotte, I decided to take a 25-mile drive to try Taco Mama. As the founder of Taco Masala, a taco concept with nine locations on the East Coast, I'm always curious to see how others in the space are executing their menu and customer experience. I ordered the Sizzler Tacos ($16.95), which included two tacos, a side of nachos, and another side. The food arrived impressively fast. Presentation was clean and appealing -- the tacos were well laid out, and the sides were portioned nicely. Overall, visually it was a solid plate. From a flavor standpoint, I'd like to offer a bit of constructive feedback. When something is labeled a "sizzler," there's an expectation of bold flavor -- perhaps sautéed or grilled onions, charred peppers, or some caramelization on the meat that delivers that signature sizzle experience. In this case, the steak was simply placed into the taco without that extra layer of zest or depth. I'm not complaining -- just offering positive, industry-peer feedback. A touch of sautéed onions, grilled tomatoes, or even lightly seasoned caramelized elements could elevate the dish and give customers that memorable flavor that keeps them coming back specifically for the "sizzler" experience. Wishing the team continued success. Sometimes a small tweak in flavor layering can make a good taco a truly standout one. The girls at front were exceptional and very service oriented. read more

I've ordered here several times and love the concept. They have loads of options to choose from. They have good portion sizes as well. I am most impressed that you can get guacamole and queso as one of your toppings for no additional charge. My favorite sauce is their ranch. The cilantro lime sauce is good on top of a bowl, but the ranch I can just eat with anything,it's so tasty. I love dipping the complementary chips in the ranch. However, I do feel like a lot of the toppings don't have much flavor. They are very bland to my palette. Taco Mama 2452 Park Rd Charlotte NC 28203 (Review 23 in 2024 and 823 overall) read more

The owner or manger came around to show us the menu and helped figure out what we wanted since it was our first time. The girl taking our order was helpful and patient and the food was amazing! 10/10. I don't give reviews unless it really deserves it and this was it! read more

This was my second time at this location and I was not disappointed. I'm a stickler for eating the same thing at my a favorite spots to not disappoint myself and I wasn't. I got a basket with the ahi tuna and grilled flounder tacos, side of queso and I tried the watermelon Margarita. The food was delicious as always and the margarita was alright, that was a new one to me as I tried it because the proceed went to child medical research, my norm is the sangria... holy crap that stuff is amazing. Great service as usual, plenty of seating inside and some extra out back. read more

We hadn't been in a long time, it's about a 45 to 50 minute drive. We were near that side of town so we decide to head on over. Our daughter wanted to sit outside but the weather was so nice... everyone else wanted to sit outside also. We placed our order and as I remembered, from past visits, our food arrived in minutes. Our daughter had the Kid's Cheese Nachos with Chicken. My wife had the Judge Burrito and I had a Salad loaded with my favorite add one plus Shrimp. Everything was Tasty and Plentiful. All of the employees and management are always so Friendly and Helpful. We won't wait so long to come back. P.S. We need a location on our side of Charlotte.. read more

Order at the counter taco bar (burritos and other things too). Tacos come in groups of two, they have house suggestions and you can build your own (definitely the way to go) from a really large list of ingredients. I tried the steak and a fish (fried flounder) taco and a side of street corn. I ordered the steak with cilantro and onion, and the fish with their ancho chile slaw. Both on flour tortillas. The tacos come with the toppings under the protein, which is odd but okay. The steak was super tender but could have been marinated for some more flavor. The fish was good, I mean fried flounder, amirite? The meal came with a side of choice, I got the ubiquitous street corn, it was ok. It also comes with chips and salsa which were good. Excellent service at the counter, I tipped the woman who helped me get my order set up. Noisy, but a good atmosphere, everyone is friendly Recommend over Velvet Taco for both price and quality of food and experience read more

Really fun, fast casual Mexican spot! Diverse menu with both classic and Tex Mex options, and fun/eclectic interior. We came on a Tuesday night, and there was a short line out the door, but we were able to order within 10 minutes. After we ordered, it only took another 10 minutes to get our food. I ordered the two tacos and a side combo ($12-15) with one grilled flounder and one chorizo. In hindsight, probably not the best combination together, but both were good! Next time, I am eager to try the steak! I was pleasantly surprised at how loaded the tacos were. This is not one of those "tiny, half-full tortilla" type places! The tacos also came with a generous portion of tortilla chips, and I picked guacamole as my side, which was delicious. Overall, a crowdpleasing spot for a fast casual dinner. read more

I cannot tell you how obsessed with this restaurant my entire work office is. We order from here at least twice a month. Everything is delicious from the chips and queso, to the two taco basket, margaritas are always divine. I absolutely love this restaurant. read more

I immediately had to review this place because the service was OUTSTANDING.. 10/10. I had been here before but felt like this time we were greeted immediately, the server explained everything on the menu and answered any questions. We went on a Thursday night and it wasn't too busy - lots of space to sit and even a patio spot! The food was really great, I got the burrito with chips and queso & the seasonal watermelon margarita - so good!! The manager/owner (I'm not sure) checked in on me and my friend three times to make sure everything tasted okay.. he was seriously great, wish I would've grabbed his name!!

Taco bout a great spot--taco mama is awesome! I absolutely loved their selection of margs --my favorites were the blood orange and the la playa which was a pineapple coconut flavor that transported me to the Caribbean. I wasn't crazy about the cucumber but if you want very light and refreshing it may be suitable for ya. I am obsessed with the founder salad! So good and the queso Fresca and house made dressings were just delicious on it. The having banging street corn and Mac and cheese and their chips and salsa go down too easy also. Wasn't crazy about the ahi tuna taco--wasn't bad just have had better. I wish it was a little bigger inside bc it definetly can get a little crowded in there. Overall great spot!! read more

I came here with a friend for Cinco de Mayo, knowing before hand there would be a crowd. What I didn't expect was the absolute over the top service we received on one of the busiest days of the year. The food, as always was beyond expectations and the drinks were fresh and delicious. The owner is one of the kindest people and best business owners I've ever encountered. I was mentioning that I forgot to use my $5 off coupon I had been saving for this occasion and he immediately gave me a second without hesitation AND even went and reopened my tab to give me $5 back towards my meal. That is next level service! I always have an amazing experience at Taco Mama between the atmosphere, service, and AMAZING tacos! I will continue recommending this establishment to anyone who asks for a great spot in Charlotte! read more

Totally loved the vibe walking in. My shrimp quesadillas were perfect. I could only eat half, really big portions. Of course I finished it the next day. We sat on the patio and it was lovely. The skinny margarita with Tajin rim, was so yummy. I will definitely be back, probably once a month. read more

Casual spot with great menu and friendly service. We came on Thurs night and there was plenty of seating. You order at the counter and they bring it out to you. Narrow menu of local brews with one IPA available. My bride ordered the Chicken Quesadilla ($12) and unfortunately for some reason it was super soggy/wet. I went with the The Mayor/Chicken Taco Basket ($12) and the ingredients were fresh - but overall the taco's and salsa were very plain. The black beans were the most flavorful part of the meal. We would come back again and try something different as we'd like to have this place as a quick option for a meal. read more

Easy online ordering. Or nice open area with outdoor patio for dining in. Build your own options are fun. Guac and queso don't cost extra for those! read more

First time diner--food was subpar, no seasonings of note (no garlic, no cilantro, no herbs), sugar seemed to be added to the chips and the definitely one of the salsas. The pico de gallo was bland. Eco-friendliness is 0/10 for the ridiculous amount of plastic and styrofoam used. Service is great and very friendly, but I can't justify a return visit. read more

I am always looking for good Mexican food and found it at Taco Mama. I really enjoy ahi burritos and saw that it was part of their menu. We headed over there for lunch on the weekend and really enjoyed our meal. I got the build your own burrito with guacamole and it was really good. Portions were on par, guacamole and salsa were strong. I wish I lived closer, but will definitely be going back to grab another burrito. Please support this business. read more

Horrible experience, horrible management. Food is okay at best. Take your business elsewhere. My family is

I ordered 2 tacos, chicken & steak. The chicken was just shredded chicken with no seasoning at all. It was dry & overcooked. The steak was big pieces of steak that didn't have much seasoning on it either. Both corn tortillas fell apart before I even got a chance to eat them. Salsa no taste. Overall tasteless. read more

Y'all really like this place huh? The great Yelp reviews sent me here but I was VERY disappointed. We were greeted when we walked in and there was no line. The girl gave us a run down of the menu board but we couldn't understand what she was saying as it was all mumbled and rushed. Ordered the chicken nachos and a taco Tuesday 1/2 price margarita. The margarita was horrible! It was extremely watered down to the point where I just had to speak up about it. They remade it and same....strong water taste. Mentioned it again and come to find out their sour mix ran out and it was actually water being mixed in. Had it remade a third time and it still wasn't great. I can't believe other people were literally getting pitchers of margaritas and no one else mentioned anything. Nachos came out quick but the queso was cold. I asked for a side of salsa and the girl was so confused. She ended bringing me a little cup of green salsa which was super spicy and I asked if they have regular red mild salsa and she just stood there. She told me I would have to order some kind of trio to get the red salsa so I just said never mind because I was already frustrated. I guess my only highlight here is that the food comes out quick and you have the ability to build your own and customize your meal however you like for free which is a cool concept. Overall though, I ended up with cold, bland food and watery margaritas. I was embarrassed to have recommended this place to a friend (also elite...heyyyy Jonathan) for taco Tuesday. read more

After seeing the good reviews, and having a friend recommend, we had to try Taco Mama. They have a fairly big menu, plus you can build your own anything so possibilities are endless. We tried the Yo Mama burrito and the Fat Boy burrito, both baskets with street corn. Everything came out very quick and was so tasty. It's an order at the counter and they bring you your food kind of place, but I was surprised how many times they checked in that everything tasted good and we didn't need anything additional, so nice! It's not super loud, or super quiet, so would definitely be a casual kid friendly option. The margaritas sounded and looked delicious so I'll have to try one next time! Prices are good, portions are large! read more

HIGHLY recommend their burritos! I usually don't order burritos because they're too big but these are the perfect size - you're full without the burrito baby. I absolutely LOVE their tacos. The Chorizo and Ground Beef are my favorite. Each meal comes with chips & salsa and a side - I love sides. YESSS to their Margaritas - especially the watermelon. It actually had watermelon pieces in it. OK last thing, their outdoor patio is SO charming. Great for a quick lunch or a Friday night dinner under the lights. The only thing I would say that I didn't like was the Mexican Mac & Cheese. This is the second time we've gotten it and it's never creamy, kind of dry so I would pass on that next time. read more

We went out with friends on a week day and enjoyed discounted margaritas, tacos, and burritos. We were greeted immediately and ordered at the counter; I really liked their number system and how you could continue to order at your table.

You know when you have a favorite soda, can't wait to get home to have it with your meal, and then you find out it's just carbonated water...that's what happened to me...3 times. You can't enjoy Taco Tuesday without a margarita but apparently today will just have to do. After finding out the machine just ran out of mix, it was remade but still the same. The manager even came back and was so proud we just had to smile & say thanks because it wasn't getting any better than my low cal margarita I just had for the first time on cheat day. All this to say, I'd skip out on the drinks in the future. But I did like that you get unlimited toppings with the nachos. Also I appreciate the manager for being so helpful even when I felt bad for telling him the drinks were bad over and over. I guess we just weren't meant to have a cheat day. read more

Good made to order taco joint. You order what you want and they bring it out to you. There is indoor and outdoor seating. It is first come first serve and they are pretty quick with cleaning the tables. The have sanitizer on each table. We ordered the taco baskets that come with two tacos, salsa and a side. We mixed and match them. Tuna is extra but it was worth it. Tuna, shrimp, barbacoa, and chorizo tacos were ordered. We also had the queso and guacamole. Everything was excellent. The tacos were a little small more like street tacos to me so you really need to have a few unless you get some sides. Overall definitely a good spot to get tacos and relax! read more

WOW! What a great place to discover on YELP! We ordered and then we went and sat down and they brought the wife a burrito she ordered a veggie but thinking she had ordered Taco's Sam the manager could see the confusion in her face (yes, It was her mistake) and he brought her the Taco's anyway. What a way to go the extra Mile. The Food was fresh and delicious, the location perfect and relaxing, Great outdoor seating. I do not only recommend this place, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

Went on a Saturday evening for tacos and margaritas. They're located inside of a shopping center right next to the Plant House! We walked in and we're immediately greeted by the manager who asked if it was our first time (it was). He was extremely helpful with explaining menu items and guiding our drink choices for the evening. Their ordering style is very convenient! You order and pay at the counter, given a table marker for whatever table you choose and they bring it out to you! I got the Cheesey Beef Tacos, subbed the beef for shredded chicken, in a Taco Basket. The basket came with two tacos, a side (I got street corn), and chips with salsa. The flavor was wonderful and service was fast! I would recommend for a chill meal either at night or during the day. I will definitely be back for lunch! read more

I had the chorizo tacos and they were huge. They had a really nice flavor. Friendly staff and quick service was also a plus.

Taco Mama has been on my list forever and right before all of the restaurants were ordered to takeout only, I was able to stop by and try the justice is served taco meal with fried flounder ancho chile slaw, avocado, tomatoes, roasted poblano tartar with chips and salsa. Overall everything was good, but the fish was fried too hard for me and a little salty. I still plan to return to try some of the many other selections or just make my own bowl since they have so many toppings and also free. read more

If you're craving a low key Mexican spot with great tacos, plenty of build your own options and delicious margarita, you've come to the right spot! I love how this location is delicious food, but very laid back atmosphere. You order at the counter, get your number, find a seat, and then they bring the deliciousness out to you! I always go for a build your own option, and I love the vast list of free toppings, which you can have in abundance (I'm not a fan of spots that limit you to 3 choices or such). Everything is fresh and flavorful, even down to the tortilla chips. I also love their guac and queso - huge chunks of avocado in the guac and very little fillers! The service is wonderful, and the staff just seems genuinely happy to work here. Great environment, great food, great drink - what more could you need? read more
