Lori and I visited for lunch during their first week of opening. Her taco salad with pulled chicken and my Carnitas lunch special were expertly prepared, delivered quickly with a smile, and tasted wonderful. The carnitas were tender and beefy, with hints of crispiness seared on a few of the chunks. Loved it! There was a good mix of Latino and local clientele which suggests this place is well received by those knowledgeable. It was nice to have Maria, the owner, introduce herself to us, too. While parking is minimal out front, no worries. Across the street is another lot for overflow. Looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, friendly people who know how to cook, and food priced reasonably? Has my "Give 'em a Whirl" meter firing up the mariachi band and begging for more. Go here.

Handful of times I have ordered it to go and it's always hot, fresh, and amazingly FLAVORFUL. A plus to them is that they always have it ready in 20-25 mins. So if you're starving and need something quick, La Unica will have it ready for you. We have dined in, the service is upbeat and quick. I always get the same dish and it's so hard to order a different one. BUT my boyfriend is there to order everything and it's so worth the chance of trying something new. Thank you for existing in our neighborhood and always feeding me!!

Located in a corner unit of a small strip mall, La Unica is a quaint Mexican restaurant that should…read morebe considered when those Tex Mex cravings are bubbling deep inside the soul. When my X and I first moved to Indian Trail, a lot of friends suggested this restaurant as the authority for Tex Mex. It's a good thing they have a big parking lot as they're generally packed, which means people like it. Me? My short reply is it's pretty good. Opening up the doors the atmosphere has a bit of reserved authenticity, no dollar tree prefab gimmicks are there just to plant a flag, claiming to be just like all other options out there. No this is the real deal with a warming atmosphere designed to entice locals to take a load off and relax. The server stand is directly in front and what appears to be a predominately family-owned business. The staff is quick to greet and seat everyone who enters and the place is extremely clean with a low noise level. Lets get to the food, shall we? First of all, I prefer thinner chips as theirs are really thick, but that's not a quality issue. The salsa is darn good and be careful for asking for hot salsa, you'll get what you asked for. Generally I fill up on chips and get something light however I've heard so many good things about La Unica I had to hold back so I could sample some of the former mrs food and gorge on my own. Please note I did drop by twice so I have three dishes I can speak too. First the former Mrs me got the flautas dinner. All the sides; lettuce, tomato, guac, sour cream and rice were fresh and tasty. The tomatoes were ripe and the guac wasn't discolored which means fresh. The flautas were perfectly cooked, crispy with flavorful and moist chicken while not being greasy. Top it with some lettuce and sour cream YUM! My first sample was the Shrimp burrito or I'll call it the Titanic as it was HUGE & IT WENT DOWN! Very tasty with plenty of fat shrimp and all the sides inside. I found it fun to cut into it, pop a bite into my mouth and see which ingredients hit my tastebuds; a revolving experience. Overall, it was very good and not to spicy. For the record, I don't eat beans so I'm not a good judge of what happened there. My final menu item was my best bud, my old faithful, my ride or die - steak fajitas. Again, the sides were awesome no issue there but I found the steak a bit tough. It was seasoned well and tasty but I did some chewing to finish it off. I think it may have been an off day. Other than the MMA fighting steak (implying it's tough) the dish is outstanding. Overall, La Unica is the best Mexican aka Tex Mex restaurant in Indian Trail. The staff is friendly and fast, the chips and salsa are great and for the most part you can always get a seat. Even when busy, the food doesn't seem to suffer. I wish I could have tried more items, alas life has dictated I'm a nomad so I won't be back. But don't let that stop you for hitting up the best south of the border joint in town!

I love white runny queso and the queso here is like a goblet from the heavens it's that good. True Mexican cuisine with options that impress my family and friends everytime they try something new. The service this evening was so fast on a Friday night I was blown away. Chips were replaced without us asking. Multiple staff members attended to our drink needs. The owner goes around the restaurant every time I visit talking to those dining in and it's so sweet it brings a smile to my face. We also see the owner pitching in to get drinks and I think that similarly says a lot. Prices are very affordable and portions are impressive. I live up north for med school and dream of La Victoria when I'm up there. All I can say to all those eating here is wear pants that stretch and leave your jeans at home you'll thank me later. Ps Carlos was our server. 10/10! Very efficient and friendly man.
