    Chips and salsa.
    Patty W.

    It was taco Tuesday and we figured we hit this place up for dinner while we staying at the Great Wolf Lodge. Even though it was busy, we were able to get a table after walking in. It took a bit for our waitress to come and take our order. We split the chips and salsa for the appetizer. I got three chicken tacos along with a side of rice. The chicken tacos were bland and had no flavor to them at all. It didn't come with the rice at first and I think the waitress forgot about it. I asked her about it and it didn't come out until about 15 minutes later. I was going to tell her not to worry about it since I didn't think it was going to take that long to get a side of it. The service wasn't met according to expectations. I understand it was busy and things can be overlooked by mistake. The margarita was better than the food and I was surprised by it. Maybe the $1 taco deal on Tuesday can be intriguing, but I would consider somewhere else since the restaurant was a miss for us.

    Shrimp Fajitas

    Went on a Friday night and it was slammed pack, but that did not impact the service or the taste in the food. Most Mexican places are going bland these days, but here?!.... They are not afraid of seasoning their food. The ambiance is your typical Mexican restaurant, loud music in the back, laughs and cheers all around, drinks everywhere, cute little decor, clean. Overall it was a good vibe here. They are located in plaza style store front. Decent parking.

    I used to love cinco and i grew up eating here but recently i was eating my beans and I bit into a man's earring Now we go to taco express and Mr burrito in Kannapolis they have authentic tortillas and no mans earrings in our food.

    My family loves this place. My spouse and I went last night and it was amazing. The servers are great and the food is always terrific. I love the bright colors and the ambiance of the whole place. You ca. also eat outside.

    Soupa Sopa De Pollo
    Joseph T.

    Service was terrible. Took 10 minutes for anyone to seat me. 10 minutes to take my order. 30 minutes for a bowl of soup. I tried coming here for lunch a week prior but I had to leave cause I stood around in the lobby for over 10 minutes without being seated. Food was terrible. Ordered sopa de pollo. Bland soup. Had one small piece of chicken and half an avocado. Complete waste of money. Will never eat here again and I'm warning others not to waste their money here. You're likely to have a better experience at Taco Bell.

    Fajitas Texanos
    Stacy Y.

    This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the Charlotte area. They are super friendly and well priced for the quality of food you get. I had the fajita texanas and my dining partner had the Sopa de pollo. Both were super flavorful, the soup being authentically spicy. This is a hidden gem down the road from Great Wolf Lodge. Don't waist your money eating at the resort and go here instead!

    I just ate there with a group of 9, including 2 children. Everyone was very pleased with their food and the prices were great!

    We walked in on a Sunday night around 6:00. We were the only ones in this hidden gem. Living so…read moreclose I'm so mad we haven't found this place before today. Quesabirria spring rolls - Holy smokes. Why is nobody else doing these?!? 10/10 Catrina Burrito - shrimp, steak, and chicken smothered in a mole/cheese sauce combo. The size of my fore arm. 10/10. Chicken chimichanga - loaded with chicken fried perfectly with a crispy crust. Smothered in cheese sauce. 10/10 They make everything fresh here so we missed out on the Quesabirria special but the owner heard us asking about it and brought out an order of the Quesabirria spring rolls and smoked BBQ egg rolls to try. Server was very warm and knowledgeable. I just hate that we were the only once's lucky enough to be enjoying this place tonight. This should be a destination spot for all of Charlotte-Salisbury. PS - inside decor was great and pays tribute to Kannapolis history. These guys rock and know exactly what they are doing.

    I really wanted to like this place. Very well drawn murals on the walls, decent service, cheap…read moretacos on Tuesdays, Good Mexican beers on draft and a not the run of the mill menu. Unfortunately, the food was bad. The chips and salsa were bland. The taco meat was dry and bland. The refried beans and rice were bland. The cheese enchiladas and tostadas were bland. Are you seeing a theme here? Maybe they think Gringos prefer bland food? I'm not sure but Mexican food can be a lot of things but it should never be bland. Oh well, at least I got to try practicing my Spanish!

    having recently experienced the foodness of Miss Tamale how could I pass on a joint calling itself…read moreMr. Burrito? it's a nice little divey place; not so divey you wouldn't bring the whole family for lunch and yet divey enough that you can afford to... so come on in and find a place to sit, menus and chips will arrive shortly but you have to ask for water. so many options and so many plates: some I'm familiar with, some I know well, but many are complete strangers to me..? it's not just the dishes but the fixing too. even the waitress had a tough time with a few of them. so how about I go with the bistek a la mexicana then. seasoned sliced steaky bits with tomato, peppers, and onion. comes with beans and rice and choice of corn or flour tortillas plus guac, pico, and lettuce shreds. don't know if it was the best steaks I've had but it sure was good and filling and I managed to take some home in a box to have with breakfast... prolly gonna get back here sooner rather than later and have a go at another part of the menu and some other type of guzzintas.

    I highly recommend!…read more My first time at Mr burrito. The service was welcoming and attentive. I ordered the veggie burrito. Which came out hot and fresh. The ambience is casual and clean. Has plenty of space for large groups. I enjoyed my veggie burrito next time I want to order it without cheese, but everything tasted amazing. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
