    Get 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.

    I 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!!!!

    All the food is different from most Mexican food, but delicious. The queso, salsa, and echiladas suizas all were interested dishes.

    Ask 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!

    Management 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!

    There 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

    The 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.

    They 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

    They do not have the happy hour food anymore! Disappointing, esp since I loved the oaxaca cheese app, which isn't on the full menu.

    The ceviche is fab. As are the margaritas. Table-side guacamole is great but they act like they invented it.

    Overpriced, overhyped and severely lacking in vegetarian options. Try an authentic Mexican restaurant in Charlotte. Lempira is a sure bet.
