Chorizo taco
George D.

A coworker brought me to this place. We arrived in the middle of lunch hour and it was packed. Parking was tough but I got lucky with a spot out front. There is also parking around back. I was worried about getting a table so I sat down and my coworker ordered. That was unnecessary. The tables flip frequently. People are not in there long and the staff gets the tables cleaned quickly. I got a Spicy Chorizo taco and a burrito. Both were excellent. I really liked the taco. But... I really liked the burrito too. :-) I will say - the place is loud when packed like it was. But, it cleared out a bit and it was not so bad. Highly recommend.

Delish!!!

Delicious! Great Service! Ambiance very chill! ! I was visiting from Cali and had a taste for some tacos and saw this spot on the way to the Premier Outlet so my sister & cousin stopped in and do glad we did! Wish they had a Tacos 4 Life in Los Angeles!! Try the nacho fries!!!

Clean table at Tacos 4 Life, Trojan Dr., Charlotte

Tacos for dinner? Yes, please. With more than a dozen different options for tacos, including wild varieties like Korean BBQ, Fajita Chicken, Seared Tofu and Crispy Eggplant, and burritos and salads and nachos, it can be a little bit tough to choose. In the end, I narrowed it down and had the Chipotle Steak and Chicken Bacon Ranch tacos. Order and pay at the counter, fill your drink at the Coke fountain, and your food is brought to the table. The restaurant was super clean and since I was here for a bit, it was nice to see the tables being cleaned properly after each guest. They have a "combo" that includes a side and a drink, otherwise the tacos and sides are a la carte. [Round number 1700 in Charlotte NC! Review 1465 of 2024 - 3660 in North Carolina - 22488 overall]

Large Queso
Amanda M.

Visiting from out of town and wanted some yummy tacos. We live in S Florida, so maybe we are just spoiled. First, the price on the kids meal is great! It's a small portion but great price. Kids got quesadilla but weren't impressed. We got a large queso and immediately noticed only a few of our chips were seasoned. We asked for more seasoning, she said okay, never returned. Queso is tasty. No corn tortillas besides crunchy and "steamed" as I was told. Cashier couldn't muster up the energy to tell me what "steamed" meant. Chicken is soupy and bland. Sorry, I love the mission but not a repeat for us.

Crab cake taco and Korean steak taco. Both delicious.
Jane S.

We've been many times now. Never had a bad meal. My favs are the Korean beef taco and the crab cake taco. The side salad with warm black beans is so delicious. The staff is always friendly and it's always very clean inside. The only complaint is that the queso has seemed very thin the last few visits. Thin to the extent that is has very little flavor. Not sure we will continue to order it.

Crab Cake Taco
Tiffany J.

The tacos, service, and ambiance were all great! You walk in, order the food, and find a place to sit. They then bring your food to the table. Our food arrived hot and fresh! The portions were very hardy. My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach. I got the Crab Cake, Hawaiian Fish, and Firecracker Shrimp Tacos with the Pesto Rice. The Pesto Rice was not seasoned enough but the tacos are amazing! My favorite was the crab cake taco! We also ordered the cheese dip and chips! The chips came to the table fresh and hot! I just wish the cheese dip was thicker, it was a little watery. My son got the Chicken Quesadillas and Pesto Rice, but ended up exchanging the rice for fries! All in all, a very good dining experience. I wish they had one in Atlanta. I'd be a regular, if they did. The seating and parking were plentiful! If you love tacos like I love tacos, then put this restaurant on your list!

Douglas R.

Amazing! The food, the location, the staff, it all fits together into a wonderful place to eat. It's right off the interstate, beside the Simon outlet mall outside of Charlotte. After a long day of shopping (or right before to fuel up), this place hits the spot. The food is sit down restaurant worthy without the price tag. Super good and super fast. There's choices for everyone and who doesn't love tacos?! They even advertise their great charity work. What's not to like?

2 tacos and side salad.
Julie P.

Honestly, really impressed with this place! The tacos were delicious, the service was awesome (and quick) and my kids ate everything! That's a win all around in my book! There are TONS, I repeat tons, of taco options, so I love the fact that I can do a mix and match 2 taco combo. It lets me get a little variety of the menu. I also highly recommend the side salad - that's filling enough to be a meal on its own! Casual spot, and has solid food. We will certainly be

You can't go wrong with tacos! This place is spacious and very clean and warm inside. Staff were friendly, and welcoming....a breath of fresh air. The menu is simple and they have unique items like their fried chicken burrito. I had their chicken bacon ranch quesadilla and it was bomb!!! I enjoyed every bite. I had queso rice and it was bland.

Crab cake taco and shrimp taco with cilantro lime rice
Latonya J.

Please note that you pay per taco here, it can get kinda expensive if you are a person who needs 3 and 4 tacos with your meal, lol! Or if you were like me, you wanted to try a variety of tacos. However, they were extremely tasty! I went home and tried to recreate my own tacos like these and failed, lololol! I think they have a nice little humanitarian story, something to do with feeding the homeless or feeding children, and that made me feel good blowing a small bag on tacos. Service was fast and friendly. I went later in the evening and the pretty much had the entire place to myself. The ambiance is nice. Stylish enough for you food influencers but comfortable enough to relax and eat.

Tracy M.

Love the tacos!! Very fresh and tasty. The staff are all very polite and friendly. The restaurant is clean and well kept by the staff. These are the best tacos I've had in Charlotte and I would definitely go back regularly!!

Was actually really surprised at how tasty these tacos are. Not necessarily a place I'd go out of my way to taste--but still quite good.

(I later learned they are family owned- a Cali Mex restaurant not affiliated with the chain.) It was practically empty at 5p on a Friday with just me and 6-7 others in the entire restaurant and it was loud. The music was blaring and the TVs (though quieter than the music) was turned up so it made for a bunch of jumbled sounds. I sat at the bar and ordered a margarita ($13 for the little cup is ridiculously overpriced. There's nothing special about it) and a water. I was told I would have to self serve for water (I understand if you're a walk up customer standing around the bar but as a seated guest that is wild.) For food I ordered three street tacos with steak. The menus themselves are terrible. The writing is tiny so if you have poor vision you're out of luck unless someone can read it for you. No QR menus are available to zoom in either. The tacos were good and I have no complaint there. The flavors were solid and everything came out quickly. The staff overall was very friendly and attentive. At one point they wiped the bar down (and I appreciate that and attention to cleanliness) but the fumes disrupted the experience while I was eating. Giving this 4 stars because I do like supporting family owned and small businesses but the overall experience was not what I anticipated.

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. She completely overcharged me, and she only offered to give my six dollars tip back to me. I am now going to dispute the transaction with my bank because I was unable to resolve this issue. That's sad.
