    We went here for my birthday dinner and it was delicious!! The inside is pretty dark, I think it's some psychological thing to make you order more food, not sure. Our server was very kind and accurate. The food was delicious, no complaints.

    Nice establishment. It's probably my 2nd or 3rd visit here. It's tucked away in an industrial area of North Charlotte. Staff is friendly and moves fast. Food is good quality. There are no issues with anything that I've ever ordered. Certainly, I will return again.

    Food and atmosphere was nice. The small table side guac was good and the birria tacos were full of flavor. Margarita was good and so was the sangria.

    Super Nachos

    ‍ This place used to have amazing food, my family had been coming here for 19 years. Idk what happened, recipes changed or changes within cooks. Anyways we decided to order takeout from them tonight and I was hoping it was going to be great. Nope. My order was wrong and it didn't taste great like I was hoping. I had to take out the avocado they added because it was black and gross looking and added my own on their. We had ordered Super Nachos with chicken but we received it with ground beef AND chicken. It wasn't good, I tried forcing myself to eat it but couldn't finish half. Also ordered Chicken fajitas with corn tortillas, they were 'meh' mom forced herself to eat it. This place is beautiful on the inside but the food needs to be like it used to. Literally have been coming here since I was 12 years old, I have great family memories about this place.

    Azteca Mexican Restaurant is a fantastic. There are four locations and this is the third location that I have been to and all have been fantastic experiences. This particular location is next to several hotels and when I got here on a Wednesday evening just a bit short of eight o'clock, I was a bit surprised that the parking lot was pretty busy. I guess that I shouldn't have been, each location that I have been to has always been busy. First they brought me chips and salsa. Definitely a good way to start my meal. For my entree, I went with the pulpo ala diabla, a spicy octopus dish. I have only found this particular item at Azteca Mexican Restaurant and it is an amazing dish. The octopus works so well with the spicy sauce. Service was decent and the overall experience was definitely an extremely positive one. I would definitely recommend here and I give it five stars.

    Azteca is one of my favorite places to grab Mexican food. I like their taco bowl and I LOVE the Burrito Azteca. The shrimp, chicken and cheese sauce is so so good. It's always a fun place to dine in at, as there is a professional mariachi band onsite that will visit various tables and serenade in song. The food is very reasonably priced, and the staff is always friendly. This is a restaurant I return to again and again.

I originally was going to place the order online, but they're online option said it was unavailable so I went inside and sat down at the bar. 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.

The order was slow to come out and was incorrect, I'll live. It was the lack of follow up that got me. Never seen the ordered cheese dip or requested salsa. Did not see server any where.

I drove down 77 to this location, after all I am still hungry. Warmly greeted and promptly seated. My server was FANTASTIC. Night and day difference in food and service. Order delivered correctly and promptly. He approached my table several times to insure all was good. The difference between to two stores has made me quit forever the Northlake location. WOODLAWN is the place!

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!

    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.
