Chili relleno with rice special
Dawn R.

Lunch at Anita's Mexican Grill. If you haven't been here, you're missing out. They are only open 11am until 2:30 pm so it's definately just a lunch place. The quantity of meat they give you in these tacos is unreal, especially for the price ! I got the carne asada taco on a corn tortilla ($4). The meat was a bit overcooked, but had a ton of flavor. Plus just LOOK at how much meat they give you ! I couldn't fold the taco, it was that much meat !!! I ended up eating all the meat I could inside the taco and then using a fork to eat the rest that would not fit inside. I got a chili relleno special ($9.50) which came with either a hardshell or flour tortilla with either shredded chicken or ground beef with rice on the side. I got the shredded chicken. It was nice and juicy and had nice flavor. Just look at how stuffed it is ! These came with chips and salsa too. Hubby got one beef hard shelled taco and one chicken soft shelled taco. This came with chips and salsa. They have fountain drinks with free refills. The seating area is small. However, they have both high chairs and low chairs (See photo). We came at 1:10pm and lunch was starting to die down, so we were able to get a table. However, I had read online that starting at Noon the line is out the door and seating is scarce. Highly recommend for getting alot of good food for the money spent. Orders are taken at the counter then they call your name. The only thing I did not like were that the people behind the counter were wearing a mask. If someone on their staff is sick, they should not be serving food. The masks also prevent genuine interaction with the customer. FYI..Everything is given to you "to go" whether you plan to eat there or not.

Mini Tacos
Cynthia R.

I went to the food truck for Anita's Mexican Grill and was very disappointed. The plantains were very greasy, yet hot. The meat was dry and they only gave me one option of sauce and it was spicy so I could not add it to my tacos. I would've thought that they would've asked me which would I have enjoyed eating with my tacos, but instead, they chose for me, and I didn't find out till after I drove away, I did drive back to the food truck and requested a refund, because I could not eat the greasy plantains. I went ahead and eat the tacos without any type of salsa on them since I wasn't provided with any. I don't think I'll be trying this food truck again.

Super nachos
Manny C.

A hidden but must find treasure. I was introduced to Anita's by a coworker. His rule of thumb is to get here before 12 or else the line is out the door and he was right. We promptly arrived at 1145 to one person in line by the time we walked out at 12 there were 6 people and the line was growing out the door! The menu is long but extensive. If you're not sure what is in an item just ask. They will customize if possible. Their cafeteria serving style makes lunchtime possible as you are in and out in 10 minutes. I had their super nachos which either comes with beef or chicken. I opted for both and they did not disappoint. I will definitely be back.

1x Carne asada taco and rice
Kathleen A.

I come and stay here for the tacos! My absolute favorite is their carne asada. I typically order one then split the filling in half. Their portions are large! You absolutely get your $4 worth and then some! As for sides, I'm slowly working my way through the menu- but I love their rice. Service is always SPECTACULAR! They call your name loud and clear during the lunch rushes. Or if they aren't busy, they just bring everything to you. Heads up, everything is all packaged to go- bag and everything! First timers- don't expect a plate.

Carne Asada Tacos

The meat was so seasoned, the tacos were filled up!!! It was my first time here, 10/10 highly recommend. Will be going back!

Steak tacos
Gassan H.

Massive street tacos. I got 4 and it was way too much. 3 is plenty. Great staff too. Very friendly and helpful.

Nice decorations on the wall

Anita's Mexican Grill is another one of those hidden gem restaurants. It's in a small shopping center with a BP gas station out front. It's in between a dry cleaner and a Subway sandwich shop. It's definitely not fancy but boy is the food good! You order at the counter and they bring it out to you or call you up to get it. This is not a full-service restaurant but A place you can get a quick bite to eat on your lunch break or whatever. They are very reasonable too! Everything that I have had from here has been delicious! They have Tex-Mex style food as well as authentic Mexican food. I usually get the Speedy Gonzales (#1 on the menu) which consists of an enchilada and a taco (hard or soft) with rice or beans. Actually, they will let you get a smaller portion of both rice and beans if you ask. Their chicken enchiladas are to die for! They may be the best I've ever had! The taco is absolutely stuffed with ingredients! They are authentic tacos are very tasty as well. Anita's Mexican Grill has definitely got it going on and I eat here anytime I'm in the area.

Tacos Al Pastor
Emily S.

This is a very small taco joint in the BP Yorkmount plaza. Order at the counter, small area to sit and eat. The place is packed at lunch time and I know why, the food is AMAZING!!! I ordered tacos al pastor with guacamole and a side of hot sauce. Yes they have hot sauces on the tables but the homemade is always the way to go!! Very close to CLT airport, I will definitely be back!

Beef Enchilada and Chicken Enchilada with a side of rice.
Jim W.

Amazing, delicious Mexican food at a great price and quick service. Anita's is a no frills spot for great food. I got one chicken and one beef enchilada and a side of rice. Both meats were very flavorful and a large portion. Added a drink and it was about $12. They also give you a small side of chips and salsa. Definitely worth a visit!

Fajitas Rojas! Tons of food but I tried to stop before it was all gone.

With its subdued lighting, faded brick walls and tightly packed tables, it's the perfect spot to escape with a bottle of tequila on a rainy Friday night.

On a recent visit, my wife and I started with a bowl of chips and queso, accompanied by a pair of oversized house margaritas. When I complained to our server about my drink's disappointing lack of kick, he took it off the bill and recommended the far superior Patron Cadillac Margarita, which improved my mood in a hurry. For dinner, I dove into a delicious taco combo platter of steak, carnitas and baja fish, while my wive enjoyed a tasty Taco Salad. Service was outstanding throughout our meal, the prices were reasonable, and the ambiance superb. Well worth a visit if you're looking for solid Mexican food and margaritas in Charlotte.

The service was OK though it seemed most people did not speak English, which is fine. It just made it kind of harder to communicate. That said the food was decent but the reason why I gave two stars was because I feel very misled on pricing. The menu showed Que Siberia tacos three for $12. Steak/Asada tacos for three dollars which brings my total to 15+ the two drinks. I thought she said it was $20.80 so I paid it with my card and gave her five dollars cash for a tip. I get to the car just to double check the transaction and she charged me 3499 on my card and took the cash. I went back inside to confront her about this advising. She completely overcharged me, and she only offered to give my six dollars tip back to me. I am now going to dispute the transaction with my bank because I was unable to resolve this issue. That's sad.

It really can't get much better than this in terms of service, quality, taste, etc. I'm not Mexican…read moreso I can't speak to the authenticity, but Azteca has a giant menu with a ton of options. Prices are extremely reasonable especially for the economy. Service is wonderful, chips and salsa were refilled promptly, drinks were tended to, and all with laughs and banter throughout. I got a steak quesadilla, my boyfriend got an enchilada plate. I wanted to try one of their specials but I was craving an easy meal all day! Everything came out fast, hot, and fresh. My spicy margarita had the perfect kick, and his giant mug of beer was ice cold. The restaurant is far bigger than it appears outside. I worried we would have to wait for a table, but they have a great set up. Music was great, plenty of TVs if your boyfriend (or you) wants to watch the game. Can't wait to come back!

The decor is fun, the staff is always friendly, and I haven't been once where at least one person wasn't being celebrated with a sombrero and a birthday song! The tableside guacamole is a absolute MUST--it's so fresh, and you can customize it exactly to your liking. While I have tried many things on the expansive menu, it is hard not to always choose the arroz con pollo, which is by far the best I have had in town (and in general). The fajitas and pork carnitas are another couple of my favorites. There is truly something for everyone here. Even the bar drinks are delicious and incorporate a lot of fresh citrus. If you can't decide on a drink, I highly recommend trying a variety of margarita flavors in a flight!

I fell in love with Superica when I first moved to Charlotte nearly three years ago, and it quickly…read morebecame one of my go-to spots for reliable, flavorful Tex-Mex. But I have to start with a small heartbreak: my beloved puffy taco is gone. I grew up in San Antonio, Texas, where the puffy taco was created, and it's deeply nostalgic for me. It's not a sope, not a tostada--it's a true puffy taco, light, airy, and unlike anything else. For a long time, Superica made one that came remarkably close to what I grew up with. Unfortunately, after changes in leadership and kitchen management, it quietly disappeared from the menu. That was a real disappointment. That said, I still come back--because the food here is consistently good. The crispy tacos with picadillo are my current favorite. Picadillo (P-I-C-A-D-I-L-L-O) is a traditional Latin dish with many regional variations, and this version reminds me of the one my grandmother used to make in San Antonio. The portions are generous, the flavors are balanced, and the menu offers something for everyone--from enchiladas and chile rellenos to steaks and fresh tableside guacamole. Speaking of guacamole, I'm a purist. I like it simple: avocado, jalapeño, cilantro, lime, garlic--chunky and clean. Superica delivers on that. The chips and salsa are bottomless, the salsa has great depth of flavor, and for those who like heat, they offer a tiny dropper of hot sauce that is smoky, bold, and absolutely not for the faint of heart. The ginger margarita is another standout. It comes with a generous piece of crystallized ginger and has a bright, balanced flavor that makes it easy to order a second one. And if you have room for dessert, do not skip the tres leches cake--rich, decadent, and a perfect way to end the meal. I also appreciate the little touches here: * Friendly, knowledgeable waitstaff * A lively bar area that's great for happy hour * A beautiful outdoor patio that makes al fresco dining feel special * And a fun tradition of sending you home with a packaged Texas praline This South End location is my personal favorite. It feels more adult and relaxed, while the Strawberry Hill location tends to be more family-heavy. Both are good, but the vibe here suits me better. Yes, prices have crept up a bit--as they have everywhere--but the quality, consistency, and atmosphere keep me coming back. And as someone who travels frequently for work across multiple states, I appreciate that Superica maintains a dependable standard wherever I encounter it. Bottom line: Even without the puffy taco, Superica remains one of my favorite Tex-Mex spots in Charlotte. Come hungry, bring friends, share plates--and as always, travel safe and eat well.

I recommend, I guess…read more I wasn't impressed, and this was extremely disappointing. I see and have heard people brag about Superica and it was not worth the hype.
