While looking for a restaurant to eat at, I came across this place, and may I say I was pleasantly surprised. The food was so wonderful, and my waiter Miguel was so kind. My Mother gave him a bit of a hard time and he was so patient and respectful and made sure everything was perfect. The staff seemed very pleasant, and the atmosphere overall was just fantastic. If I could give this place more stars I would. I will be a returning customer.

Not very friendly staff and pricey food. There were about 7 servers standing by the door when I walked in and not a single one smiled, even the cashier who asked if she can help me didn't smile. Tacos start at $3.50/ each. Yes, that's one little Taco. An average sized guy will need 5 or more to feel full so you're looking to spend $20-25/ person, and the drinks are overpriced as well. I've spent less at other places where the food tasted better and the people were friendlier.

Best Authentic Mexican Restaurant in Charlotte hands down! Tamales, tacos and the Chile Relleno's are the best around. Service is amazing and very attentive. Awesome drink selection. Outside patio is spacious as well as inside. Will be back and would recommend to anyone who has not been!!!

We were craving good Mexican food and this place was a huge disappointment. It took 10 minutes for a server to come to our table. The restaurant was practically empty. We ordered queso, two kids meals, elote corn, a steak quesadilla, a margarita and waters. While we waited for our food, our kids went to the restroom and said a couple of the servers were taking pictures and doing tik toks in the restroom. All of our food came except the corn. We asked for an extra plate and never received it. The food was mediocre. The queso was lumpy, we only received a drop of guacamole and the food just wasn’t very flavorful. We could never ask for the corn because our server never came to check on us. She talked to another customer across the restaurant the whole time we ate. We tried looking around to get the attention of other servers but that did not help. The resultant was not very clean either. I have not left a negative review for a restaurant in years! I try to give a lot of grace, especially after the pandemic, but this was incredibly disappointing.

Got the tacos - they were very generous on the fillings. Chroizo is where it's at. The margarita was delicious and staff were very helpful and friendly. My husband got a burrito and was also inpressed.

This is an absolute gem of a restaurant. We had a group of 12 people, and the waiter was incredible. He was fast, efficient, and friendly. The food was to die for! Very reasonably priced and some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Definitely will be back!!

Took a while for us to get noticed / served, but the service was friendly and attentive once it actually began. The chicken chimichanga was mediocre. The steak & chicken fajitas were quite good, if a bit greasy. The highlight of the meal was the fresh salsa served with the chips.

Wonderful place, don’t miss if you’re in the area. Excellent food, good portions with lots of flavor. Attentive service and comfortable dining room. Pleasant surprise there was live music the night we stopped by.

I can't say enough good things about this place. Not much from the outside but clean and bright inside. The food is delicious. Fresh chips and delicious salsa, ask for the spicy green! Go here, get great food at very affordable prices with fantastic friendly service.

Super delicious meal! The raspberry margaritas are tasty, the nachos were excellent, the staff is super friendly and provided great service. The restaurant is clean with ample spacing for social distancing. My favorite spot in the Steelecreek area!
