Alex TJanuary 30, 2015Get the Guac. I know you want the queso dip, but trust me on this one. All of their margaritas are amazing. Fajitas are hit or miss. The Quattro Letche cake will make your eyes roll back in your head.
Nicole Beatriz StröferFebruary 25, 2015I had the small chicken quesadilla, it was the perfect size, great food and great service loved the place - and good price
Tina MolinaOctober 28, 2017The cerviche is delicious and so is everything else. Great atmosphere and very modern. Friendly staff also
Christina MillerAugust 24, 2015I have always loved the food here. The new location is a bit louder than the original, but can be great for groups. Allison is an amazing bartender!!!!
Johnny MoralezJanuary 31, 2019All the food is different from most Mexican food, but delicious. The queso, salsa, and echiladas suizas all were interested dishes.- Christy CurleyJuly 12, 2014Ask for Katey B! Excellent waitress! The queso dip is amazing! Try the brisket quesadilla (add mushrooms!) and soup of the day. Can't go wrong!
Danielle PAugust 11, 2012Management and waitress were great to accommodate. I wanted the enchiladas de dennis and they took it off the menu, but the manager asked the chef to prepare it special for me. Awesome!
Joshua DrownNovember 25, 2013There is a lot of really good stuff on the menu, but the Pato Carnitas (duck legs) tacos are out of this world.
Chips and Queso are amazing....S' Western Nachos are an appetizer but are an excellent choice for a meal
Dianna AugustineFebruary 18, 2012Make reservations or plan waiting 45 min! Great mojitos. Amazing guacamole, and pray you get the day the special quest is made.
Susan BAugust 10, 2013Must get the Guacamole!!!! I never liked guacamole until a friend ordered it here...I tried it and I'm hooked!!!- Toreya SheaMay 19, 2012Wow....this place has great Mexican food. Even the queso and salsa are smashing! I recommend the tacos marco polo.
ᴡ TrujilloOctober 28, 2014I liked the old location better but the food is still good. Try the tortilla soup.
$5 house margaritas on Tuesdays! And discounted pitchers of margaritas on Thursdays!
Steven MeyersDecember 26, 2012The seafood taco was delicious. Def go for grilled veggies instead of the boring rice.
Overpriced for Mexican food, but really good salsa! We went on a Saturday night and had made reservations and it was very busy. Bar service took way too long, and they were understaffed that night.
The fundido with pineapple and bacon is awesome, as are the ancho chicken tacos!
Brian DJune 1, 2019They couldn’t find/figure out our reservation until a manager came over. Margaritas were weak. Queso was flavorless. In general, food is just okay. For the price, I would expect much better. 2/5 stars
Susan HilSeptember 23, 2011Since you're only a few blocks from Dilworh Billiards, stop in to see our patio and antique pool tables
Kimberly RatliffMay 1, 2011For best results, make reservations. Also try to sit in Jason's section: he gives extraordinary service!
Kimberly S.June 13, 2013They do not have the happy hour food anymore! Disappointing, esp since I loved the oaxaca cheese app, which isn't on the full menu.
CandiceJanuary 22, 2010The ceviche is fab. As are the margaritas. Table-side guacamole is great but they act like they invented it.
Enrique VillavicencioOctober 15, 2010Try the tacos dorados! I do not like Mexican food but this tacos are great!
Jared MisnerMay 10, 2014Overpriced, overhyped and severely lacking in vegetarian options. Try an authentic Mexican restaurant in Charlotte. Lempira is a sure bet.
New menu not great - no Mexican chopped salad. Prices higher. A shame.
