Hello friends, This is and has been my GO TO spot since they opened. Not much I can say that hasn't been said in other reviews. I have not/can not go wrong with any of the street tacos. TTFN read more

Okay, let me just say the process to order was a bit of a pain. You can only order online and they do not answer the phone when you call - I actually think the line just rings busy. Then when we went to pick up the food, we had to go to the salsa bar to fill all of the cups up on our own. I would love if they could have some pre-filled for to-go orders. Despite all that, the food was fresh and delicious with generous portions. Our group got tacos, bowls, and even the loaded fries. We were all extremely satisfied and the food was ready quickly. I also appreciate that when we ordered one of the bowls for our vegan counterpart that had no meat on it, they waited to confirm with us that we did not want any meat. Thank you for that attention to detail! Would definitely go again. read more

Extremely overpriced for what you get. We ordered two nachos with added guacamole, no drinks and the total was close to $50, which felt unreasonable for Mexican food. The nachos themselves were more like a slop bowl than something you'd expect. On top of that, the music is so loud that your ears are ringing by the time you leave, which makes it hard to enjoy the experience. read more

Very fun and casual spot for tacos! I had the shrimp tacos and they were delicious (generous portions of shrimp). The salsa was very hot, but great! It's counter service only, so grab a seat and go up to order. read more

Great chicken taco. The iconic azul tortilla came stuffed with protein -- you'll need a fork for this one. Be sure to add guac! read more

The margaritas here are quite good. Way better than most Mexican restaurants, they have several different flavors and it's balanced well. Not too acidic, not too cloying, not too triple sectified. The Mexican Firing Squad drink was really good, too. Food took a back seat to the awesome drinks here but the salsa bar was clutch. I would return for a burrito and marg. read more

Tasty tacos, I'd come here again! I enjoyed the black tortilla since it's handmade. The meat was tender and the salsas were for me the best highlight. They have kick and flavor. Tried arbol, casera, y guacamole. They are okay fair for the price; they have a pseudo-brewery-industrial-floral mix for decor which gives it a blend of fonda and modern vibe. And for that aesthetic and price point, I'd put them in the same category of hispanic-food market as Que Fresa. The extra star goes to Que Fresa due to their more tender meat with higher flavor on the meat alone. Plus, I think Azul places a lot more onion that disrupts the balance of flavor of the taco. read more

My partner and I decided to visit Azul after hearing great things from friend. We appreciated that they do have a parking lot with ample parking and the restaurant is set up in a fast casual style where you seat yourself, go to the counter to order and they will call your number where you can pick up your food. The food is very good and they market themselves as serving authentic Mexican tacos. The tacos come fully loaded and it is difficult to eat without getting a little messy. We came on a Friday around 4:30pm and there wasn't line but the cashier mentioned that they tend to be really busy at peak dinner time (5-7pm). read more

My FAVORITE Birria Tacos in all of Charlotte. They are LOADED with beef and the crispiest by far. Also for the portion and size it is priced very fairly. Drive from Matthews to go here all the time - if they opened another location in east Charlotte me and my parents would cry tears of joy haha. Easy ordering and you swag yourself inside. Super chill and relaxed - if you are looking for the best fast casual Mexican food in CLT here it is!!! read more

Great spot! I had the chicken and steak street tacos, my friend had shrimp tacos, they were delicious. The guac, bean dip and margarita were also very good! The music was too loud, and when you sit at the tables, the chairs are too low. We moved to the bar so we didn't feel like the table was up at our face. Great customer service and good vibe! read more

I got the chilie relleno burrito and it didn't say on the menu that it was a wet burrito and therefore it's covered in a spicy sauce, cheese and sour cream. I do not like eating wet burritos. I feel like I wasted my money. If I had known it'd be covered in liquids and need to be eaten with a knife and fork I wouldn't have gotten it. It should tell you on the menu. Flavor wise it was a bit one note but I was too annoyed to care. read more

The place is dark with a bar on one side and the kitchen on the other. The food is delicious though: the tostadas can be messy but soo good with avocado, beef, and all the works. The Birria tacos were also delicious. Both had a quick to them but not super spicy. read more

Glad I finally went! Quick service - you order at the counter and grab your food when your number is called. I was happy to see a free salsa bar here, although I didn't need anything extra for my tacos. Cooked perfectly, the meat was quality and the tortilla was yummy. The best surprise to me (and the picture doesn't do it justice) is the horchata taste and portion. I've had many of these around Charlotte and this just took spot number one for me for overall horchata experience. Staff was friendly and there is a separate bar area to order alcoholic drinks too! read more

I had 2 tacos, Al pastor & beef cheeks, and the asada fries. They were delicious. And on Tuesday's tacos are $1 dollar off. The food was amazing and the proportions were friendly. They also have a full bar, with drink specials. I'll definitely be coming back read more

Food was great. Tacos got a head nod & moment a silence after the first bite, delicious. Potato was HUGE - could've been a little softer.. I would recommend that for sharing purposes as well. However, they did precut it to make it easier to share :) Customer service was great. Drinks were great. On Wednesdays Margaritas are $10 and there are a few flavors to choose from. I'll definitely be back! The space is a decent size. Tables are spaced nicely. read more

Taco Tuesday! Tacos are a dollar off on Tuesdays, which is a phenomenal deal because 2 to 3 of those babies will probably fill the average person up. I'm a big fan of Azul! My favorite thing is that they make their cocktails fresh, in-house and that really makes a difference. I think few places in the area do food and cocktails exceptionally well at the same time. This is definitely one of those places! I'm a big fan of the chips and queso as a meal of its own. It's actually become quite a problem for me and I need to go to chip-and-dip. All jokes aside, I recommend so many things on this menu: the burritos, the mulitas, the loaded nachos and more! There is parking on-site but, depending on when you go, it can be limited. Prepared to park in another lot or along the street and walk on busier days. I also feel that the food here is affordable. It really is a gem. I usually sit at the bar and the service is exceptional and the vibes in the place are overall fun. read more

Azul Tacos And Beer - Chips and guac and spicy mama margarita - Beer Bar Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Great, friendly service! The tacos were all pretty small, but the ratio of meat to tortilla was good. Pastor Taco (4/5): Nice bend of flavors with a bit of sweetness and citrus from the pineapples. Carnitas Taco (4/5): Good flavor, but a bit dry. Asada Tacos (4/5): Decent steak tacos. Mexican Street Corn (3/5): Not my favorite. Too much citrus for me. It was also very messy to eat off the cob. *Loved the horchata. It was very thick and a bit grainy (which I enjoyed). RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this) read more

Okay, don't tussle with me about my review lol. I did not have the same experience as most of the reviews I've read. Starting with the positive, I can certainly see why some enjoy coming here. It is local friendly, and the vibe gives an authentic hangout. Bartenders were very nice and helpful with making the best drink option based on personal preference. Now for what I did NOT enjoy. The food! I had a taco, and my daughter had the chicken burrito. It wasn't good. It was soggy and undercooked. The presentation was not appealing, and I immediately regretted my choice once I saw the food. Typically, I don't back track so it's highly unlikely of a second visit. read more

Azul Tacos And Beer - Does this look appetizing to you?? ‍ - Beer Bar Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

My first time at Azul was for a work lunch so it was about 10 of us. The workers weren't prepared for our group but got us settled after a bit. We ordered chips with guac & salsa and they were pretty solid. I loved that they had a salsa bar where you can try different flavor profiles. I decided to try the Classic Burrito and it is MASSIVE. The flavor was a 10/10 and I will be back! read more

Yesterday was Taco Tuesday, so I decided to stop by Azul. I started with the birria combo, which comes with three birria tacos. For $18.00, I did expect side servings as well; however, I didn't complain. The tacos were well-seasoned and very spicy. I also ordered a mango margarita, which was delicious. I enjoyed myself so much that I went back to order three more tacos since they were $1.00 off, along with another margarita. I left satisfied and smiling. read more

If you are looking for authentic Mexican, this is the place! Upon arrival, I absolutely love the outside of the building. They unfortunately did not look like they were handicap accessible. (I could be wrong) I only saw steps leading up to the front door. Once you enter, you see the open atmosphere the bar, the kitchen, and in the back is where you order. You look over the menu and make your decisions. I would definitely choose this place again if ever in Charlotte because they are authentic! My partner and I got the steak California burrito and it was HUGE!! Definitely could have shared. It was so full of rice and french fries and steak. It definitely is worth the price. I had the Quesa Birria burrito and just like the California it was packed with birria, rice, beans etc. (another one we definitely could have shared). We finally then got 2 Steak street tacos and those were absolutely delicious. The food was absolutely amazing. I cannot speak more to that. As far as the service goes, we received our food within 5 minutes (definitely not more than 8) it was pretty fast. you pretty much order your food and that's the most interaction that you have until you are leaving and they come and clean up your table unless you need something they are at the hostess stand, at the bar, or in the kitchen. I loved the open concept, it definitely looks like it's family owned and that is one of the reasons I will definitely come back!! read more

Best vegetarian tacos!! At Azul you order at the counter and choose your own seating. The woman taking my order recommended the hibiscus (yes, the flower) tacos when I inquired about vegetarian options. I had no idea what to expect, but they were marinated and prepared to perfection! I've only ever had street corn deconstructed, but enjoyed it being served on the cob. The fresca was sweet and refreshing as well. Service was fast & the decor was super cute and cozy! read more

Azul is such a great spot! Charlotte is so lucky to have this. Their food, service and atmosphere is just awesome, every single time we come. This trip I tried a steak quesadilla and it was massive! I mean to me lol. I couldn't even finish it all lol. I realized I absolutely love their green salsa. Like it's addictive. My boyfriend ordered it and I had to stay out of it because I almost ate it all lol. I really enjoy coming to Azul to try something new, because everything is always good!! The staff works so hard too, because it's usually busy when we come. Seriously legit authentic food! Love Azul so much. read more

I ordered food and had it delivered. I was not very impressed. Pricey for small tacos. I ordered the salsa on the side, it came on the tacos. The carne asada did not have much flavor. Al pastor was tasty though. Guacamole was good. Glad I had it delivered instead of driving all the way there. read more

The nachos were truly spectacular! You order at the counter for both food and drinks. We were here on a Saturday for dinner. It's a very casual spot. My spicy margarita was good. The beer selection didn't impress me but I'm a tough critic. I would come back for the Nachos anytime. The tacos were also delicious. I would order the duck fat refried beans next time what I got of them on the nachos were perfection read more

Azul Tacos and Beer is currently my favorite restaurant/bar in Charlotte. No frills, fluff, grass walls or neon signs here - just SPECTACULAR, CONSISTENTLY DELICIOUS authentic Mexican street food. This place is super casual and right off Freedom Dr. You'll have to order at a counter - and pick up at a designated section just by the kitchen (so no servers waiting on tables). The absolute highlight to me of their menu is the Ceviche. It's arguably the best ceviche I've EVER had, anywhere. The seafood is fresh, flavorful and in my opinion a healthy option if you're conscious of that. It comes with avocado on top, a side of mayo and the most delicious, large tortilla chips in existence. 1000/10 recommended. I've had it more than 5x at this point and it's always been consistent. In regard to their tacos, all of which are authentic to the culture: Carnitas: 10/10 Pastor: 9/10 Lengua: 8/10 Finally, try their elote - it's YUMMY and a perfect side dish to try. If you're looking to have some pretty bomb cocktails - look no further. There is a very nice selection of tequilas and beers here. I would super duper recommend trying any of their different flavors of margaritas; my favorite is the spicy tamarind margarita! This is a great spot for a casual outing with friends, tacos and drinks if you're on date night or even solo and just hungry for a really good meal. Azul, you're my absolute favorite. read more

Stopped by Azul for lunch with a coworker and had a solid meal. I ordered the chicken quesadilla with a side of chips, and everything was fresh and flavorful. The quesadilla had a good balance of cheese and chicken, with a nice crisp on the tortilla. The chips were a great addition, though I wish they came with a little more salsa on the side. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the service was friendly and efficient--perfect for a quick lunch break. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu! read more

Cool to try a new place. We ordered one of every taco meat option (7 tacos total) and tried the chips, queso and salsa. We ordered two Tecates (cheapest beer on the menu) and finished with their strawberry shortcake tres leches. I would say for what we got, it was fairly expensive, the tacos were street tacos, so they were small and although they were good, there's a few other places to get better authentic tacos for less $. It's a quick service place, which we were expecting, but that's fine to order and pick up our own food. They have a salsa bar that had some good hot sauces, but we were a bit annoyed that when we ordered we were told if we wanted to try the salsa with our order of queso, we had to order the chips and salsa and then an order of the queso but the salsa was there at the salsa bar. Probably won't go back but glad we tried it read more

Excellent food. Super friendly staff. You won't leave hungry. Tacos are amazing-birriria my fave. Don't forget the refried beans

Today since we were in Charlotte we decided to stop for dinner at @Azul Tacos and Beer ! Super cute Mexican restaurant with some great menu options! We tried the California burrito, shrimp tacos, tacos al pastor, a chicken tamale, flaming hot corn and Mexican street corn and a Chicharrón plate! Of course we grabbed some Jarritos and Agua Fresca and horchata to wash everything down! This is a order and pick up spot no servers just a cashier, bartender and cooks so don't wait at the door to be greeted like we did. You order towards the back of restaurant and pick up your food when your number is called. Everything was great we even grabbed tacos for the road! read more
