    The best Mexican restaurant is not in Charlotte, it's in Lancaster, SC, 55 minutes drive outside of Charlotte! We are so happy to have stumbled upon this place months ago and we keep coming back. The food is delicious every time.

    We ordered a combination platter with a taco, burrito and also a taco salad. It was delicious and would recommend visiting if you are in Lancaster.

    I had assumed that finding good Mexican food in S Carolina would be like finding sane people in Hollywood. I'm sure they exist but they are deep into the minority. Well, it's wonderful to be wrong. The al pastor and chorizo were both solid. The carne asada left something to be desired but the green salsa was amazing and the pina was delicious. The service was friendly, the prices were cheap and if you've got a little extra time they've got a billiards table too. Thanks guys for a little taste of home while I was away. 2013 #122 / 365

    Had been eyeing this place several times when I would come home to visit. My sister finally…read moresuggested that I check it out. Thankfully she did because it was DELICIOUS! Customer service was a 10 outta 10 my first visit! Oh yeah, you read that right. I ended up coming two days later after my first time lol. I guess I have to write 2 reviews lol. As soon as we were seated our drink orders were taken. Drinks brought to the table immediately. Looking around you can tell this is a family-oriented restaurant. A place where all families can come and enjoy good laughs, great music, and exquisite food. I ordered the Tottos Queso Dip as an appetizer. Never have I ever had a queso dip that good. Only negative thing I can say about it is that it's a bit watery/thin! Makes a huge mess if you're not careful. Taste is exquisite overall. Our food came out piping hot. Whoever they have cooking in the kitchen knows exactly how to put it down. The chicken, steak and shrimp were very tender. The steak a bit fatty, but everything tasted wonderful. I noticed the tables and chairs were clean. Floors clean and presentable upon entering. The staff were busy taking care of their patrons. If you're craving Mexican dishes this is the place for you. Don't take my word, GO TRY IT!

    I have been eating at this place for a few years since they were just a food truck. I've made a…read morecomplaint to management before with a different problem. Today for cinco de mayo I understand it's busy but the service has went down completely for me. Some of the servers act like they would rather not serve you. After a long day of work people want to come have a good time and feel welcomed. I'd rather not spend my money here anymore although the food is good but not for shitty service and attitudes.

    I was visiting NC from NYC and was looking for a place to grab a quick bite with a friend who just…read moremoved out here. After sifting through like 20 options, just picked here and I'm so happy she did! BirriTaco is a cute and fun spot. The decor is of skulls, flower walls, and blackboards where you can write your name or a note. It's a It has a small parking lot in the back and there's also some street parking. We walked in just before 3pm on Saturday and it was fairly empty. A few other tables did come in after us but it was still pretty slow (or maybe I'm just used to the business of NYC restaurants). We were greeted and seated by Angel, who was also our waiter. He was quiet and reserved but very attentive. He checked on us frequently to make sure we had all we needed. Drinks: they have sooo many good options to choose from it was hard! We decided to go with the margarita flights that come with 4 flavors of your choice and there's a lot to choose from! We tried 6 different flavors (see pics) and all of them were REALLY good! I think the guava might've been my favorite but it was a tough choice. Food: they give u chips and salsa on the house. The chips are a little different; it's 4 big circular chips, they don't exactly taste like regular chips but I liked it. My friend had the Caribbean bowl and asked if she could get it with Al pastor instead of the meat options offered and they accommodated her request. She enjoyed her bowl but did say maybe she shouldn't have gotten the al pastor after all lol she thought the pork would've been shredded instead. I went for the tacos. I was so excited that they had chicken birria tacos cuz everywhere usually just sells it with beef which I don't eat. I also had an Al pastor taco. The Al pastor was good but just a bit dry, it was just missing some sauce but the flavors were good. The chicken birria tacos were amazing! The broth was the perfect cherry on top. The chicken was seasoned well and they had just the perfect amount of cheese. They were sooo good I had to order another one and my friend decided to order one of the beef birria tacos as well. While I don't eat beef it looked soo good! My friend loved it and it had an amazing cheese pull (see video). If I lived out here this would def be one of my favorite places! I will definitely go back whenever I come visit. While $5.25 is a bit much for 1 taco, man those birria tacos were worth every bit of it!
