Los Paisas - Pineville Matthews Road Charlotte…read more New York strip, added shrimp - comes with rice, beans, yucca. Chimichurri. Enjoyed their food so much, I brought home chuleta de cerdo (pork) plate - with a piece of their amazing Chorizo, a chicken empanada and beef empanada and platanos maduros! I broke open the piece of pork so that you could see inside, so tender and juicy very flavorful with a beautiful crispy crust on it. It is my absolute favorite number one Colombian restaurant in the area, the owners and the staff are such good people. It was packed to the gills yesterday! Really loved the table in front of me that was full of family celebrating a birthday. It is always a treat to eat in! Cannot beat the prices for the portions and the quality. Always consistent.

The food was quite good, I'd say all the flavors were exactly what they were aiming for. Everything…read morewas clean and consistent. The sauces were fresh, the fillings were plentiful, and the presentation far surpassed what we expected from this tiny hole on the wall. Not to be outdone, the walls were covered in the happiest, modern and bright posters while the music was a nonstop mix of pop and power ballads cumbia-fied.

I've encountered & eaten from this food truck twice - once at Armored Cow Brewing and again months…read morelater at Veronet Vineyards. These folks may not give you forks, but they know what they're doing! Service has always been friendly and helpful, despite how busy the line can get. The cubanos are amazing - I've gotten the original and also the BBQuban. The OG is super solid, but OMG that BBQ one is just delectable and a great texture. Trust me. Try it. They also have the best yucca fries I've probably ever had. My issue with most yucca fries is that the texture tends to be pretty tough, but these are so soft inside - like they mashed the yucca first and then formed the fries. I don't know what magic they use, but they're incredible, and you must get some. We also got a churro filled with dulce de leche, and it came out nice and hot with lots of cinnamon sugar coating. I didn't love the dulce de leche filling for some reason - maybe I got spoiled by spending time in Argentina - so next time I'll likely go for the regular churro.

We recently hired No Forks to cater a party at camp north end. We've always loved the food,…read morespecifically the empanadas and maduros. Their service blew our guests away! Not only was every order right, cooked fresh and hot, but they brought all orders into our space so our guests didn't have to wait outside for their order. Our guests raved about the food and people are still thanking us for introducing the truck to them! They were very professional and prompt. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat for an event.

Stopped in for lunch and am so glad I did. First, Karina is a sweetheart, and works hard to run La…read moreDolcekca, a place she clearly loves and is incredibly passionate about. There are baked goods, desserts, and brunch and sandwich options, several of which have Dominican or other Latino roots. I had the chimi sandwich, which was delicious. A chimi is a Dominican street food, served almost like a burger, served with shredded cabbage in a mayoketchup sauce. La Dolcekca's chimi is a sandwich, and a dang good one at that. Absolutely delicious, and a sizable portion at that, served with a side of French fries. I also had a jugo de chinola (maracuya for most Latinos; passionfruit juice for non-Spanish speakers). Aside from the food being delicious, this place is adorable. This is clearly a business that someone really cares about. The decorations are super cute and feminine, with florals and several Parisian references. Bathroom is clean and tidy, as is the rest of the business. I am so glad I finally got to stop by and support this woman-owned, Latino-owned establishment. I am thoroughly looking forward to coming back soon!

My wife and I recently tried the Pick 6 combo from Felix's Handmade Empanadas in Charlotte, and it…read morewas fantastic! Every empanada had a perfectly flaky crust and was packed with flavor. The pulled chicken was tender and well-seasoned, while the chicken and cheese was a classic comfort food with a delicious cheesy filling. My wife's favorite savory option was the bacon, date, and goat cheese--it had the perfect balance of sweet and savory with creamy goat cheese and crispy bacon. The lobster empanada felt like a special treat and was surprisingly flavorful.  We finished with the guava and cheese empanada, which was the perfect sweet ending and reminded us why that combination is such a classic. The variety made the combo a great way to sample different flavors, and everything tasted fresh and handmade. The service and location were fantastic. If you're visiting Optimist Hall, which as a wonderful vibe, and looking for something unique, delicious, and easy to share, Felix's is definitely worth a stop. We will absolutely be back to try even more flavors!

The chicharron was warm but seemed to have been sitting there a while. It was not crunchy, but instead rubbery and not much flavor. The service was nice and everyone in here was Hispanic. Would def go back and have a meal!

This is still one of the best Venezuelan restaurants in Charlotte!…read more I came back for lunch with other coworkers, and this place still offers a solid menu with a good variety of traditional items. We ordered the empanadas, tequeños and the sugar cane lemonade (papelon con limon) and we absolutely loved it! Los Chamos is still on South Blvd. with its own free parking lot. Staff is still fully bilingual and super friendly. Common areas are spacious and clean. There is still no outside seating. I can't wait to come back and try more menu items.

The cheesy Cachapa is the best, it's a sweet arepa stuffed with cheese and topped with cheese, and it's massive! I tried the Caprese Cachapa, and it was one of the best combos I've ever had, and easily one of the best dishes I've had in Charlotte. The Frescolita is also delicious, I highly recommend this spot.
