The food was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. Service was quick and friendly, making the experience even better. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere with great lighting that adds to the overall vibe. A truly enjoyable visit.

Excellent choice for the family. I went with my niece, my brother, and his wife, and they have everything we need to be comfortable. They even have board games for the kids, coloring pages, and interactive games. The food is 100% recommended. I ordered a fajita quesadilla ($14), and it was more than enough for me. My brother and his wife ordered fajita parrilla, which was $17, and they had leftovers to take home. In conclusion, if you’re in Charlotte, North Carolina, I recommend stopping by this Mexican restaurant. I’m Cuban and I can’t tolerate spicy food, but here you have the option to order it without spice.

I’ve ordered door dash from here a ton. The Carne asada steak is my go to. Tonight was the first time eating in.
I was blown away by the interior. Vibrant and spacious, not too mention clean!
They had phenomenal drink specials and food specials. I was with two friends. They equally agreed. Hailey (i believe) was our bartender. FABULOUS! Great drinks, great service, she made the experience for us.
We WILL be back. You might just make us regulars on Tuesday nights.

I don’t normally write reviews but I have to after this service. I ordered 3 meals from here and the menu says it includes rice and refried beans. They forget the beans and even though my receipt says beans they say I didn’t order it. I speak with the manager at the time whose name is Bryan and his customer service was the worst I’ve ever experienced, especially over beans that his staff forgot to add to the order. My fiancé showed me this place and I was beginning to love it but Bryan and the young lady working the front was so nasty over the phone, that it spoiled my appetite. I love to support restaurants in the area because I believe in community but after this experience – I won’t ever return.

This was our first time here and we loved it! The restaurant is very clean, the food is quick to come out. The pricing was reasonable for the two orders of lunch fajitas and it came out n large portions. The atmosphere is fun and bright. The only reason I give 4 stars is because the hostess didn’t seem happy to be there and didn’t bring a high chair or kids meal when we asked and clearly had a child with us. The rest of the staff were excellent and checked on us frequently. We’ll be back again soon!

I would like to start by saying that I would give this place 4.5 stars but Google isn’t living in the 21st century with partials. The food was good. The prices were good ( way better than other Mexican restaurants). The service was iffy, especially getting seated. That was really my only complaint. Other than that, everything was good. Chips are warm and the salsa is good. Enjoy the beer and mixed drink specials. There is outdoor seating too. Would recommend.

Wow! The food here blew me away—it had that food-truck level of flavor and authenticity that I absolutely love. Every bite was fresh and packed with taste. On top of that, Addy was an amazing server! She made the whole experience fun and effortless, always checking in at the right time and keeping everything running smoothly. Between the outstanding food and fantastic service, this place easily earns five stars.

The food was average at best, with flavors that felt basic and uninspired. Nothing really stood out on the menu, and the dishes lacked the kind of freshness or boldness you’d expect from a place like this. On top of that, the staff didn’t bring much to the experience. Service felt flat and without much personality, which made the overall atmosphere feel a little dull. While it wasn’t terrible, it certainly wasn’t memorable, and I wouldn’t go out of my way to return.

Taco Tuesday! When this place first opened I was hesitant to give them a try, then heard some friends talking about how good it was, and gave it a try, boy I hate I waited so long. Been eating here over a year now, I come by myself, with my spouse or groups up to 10 and the service is always spot on, food is always great and a lot of it!!!! This is now my only place to eat Mexican food in matthews area!!
