Great food and service. Big portions and (too) big lemonade (1 liter and no smaller available). I would definitely return – my recommendations! When we left the live music came (7:45 pm). Price level is medium, not the most expensive.

The best piña colada we ever had as well as the guacamole! The main course was delicious as well. They were also one of the few restaurants still open and serving, showing the purpose they had even in the midst of the ice storm.

Had the pleasure of dining here tonight as suggested by an Uber driver who is from Mexico and I told him I'd check it out. Mauricio was our server and was amazing! He was so kind and attentive. The menu has a large selection. I decided on the two option combination which was the perfect amount for comfortably full and you can go for 3 options if you have a bigger appetite. My husband had the seafood soup which he said is very good. It came out in a huge bowl. And the decor inside is cute with the woodwork carvings. The place was busy which shows its popularity. There's also a separate bar area. With the large menu I think you can always come and try something new. Next time I'm back in Charlotte I will definitely be back. Additionally there is ample parking with a lot in the front and continues behind the restaurant and to the side with another parking area.

Impeccable service and food. One of the best experiences we've had in Charlotte. Greeted immediately upon arrival and everything we tried was spectacular. Table side guac tailored to our preference was super cool too. If you're looking for good Mexican food in Charlotte, this is THE place!
