Parking can get tricky on the typical busy eat out days due to location in a small retail strip. The restaurant seems small but with a decent amount of seating. Complimentary chips and salsa were provided; salsa has a bit of a kick to it but in a good way. Ordered a small guacamole and let me tell you it was the best guac I've had in years, so fresh and flavorful. I got a small order to go. Ordered the Enchiladas Rancheras, Quesabirria tacos, and one Asada(steak) taco for entrees. Enchiladas lack flavor seasoning and the meat was dry. Birria was decent, a more authentic Mexican flare but could use a bit more seasoning. Asada taco was a no go for me. Not sure what type of steak is used but it was cubed and overcooked. Didn't really taste like steak to me. Ordered a strawberry and house frozen margarita. Both were icee (not smooth)and watered down. No flavor and definitely no alcohol in sight.

Well, this place is hopping and for all the right reasons. After finding a place to park, we were greeted by warm and smiling people, seated promptly, and enthusiastically waited on. Great selections, reasonable prices, and fantastic service. What's not to like? Oh, yea, the food is great, too! We've tried various entrees and cannot name a winner. Their Chicken Mole--I mean holy mole--is fantastic. Then I tried their Chori-Pollo, a dish with seared chicken and chorizo sausage. I'm dancing around the table as happy music is played overhead. So. Damn. Good. Monroe has a plethora of Mexican restaurants, of which a few are good. I think this little family-owned place, however, takes the prize.

Their small cheese dip was also great - next time I think I'll try the Spinach Cheese dip but needed a baseline to taste first. I got the chicken and chorizo which was also great, and the chicken fajitas came out sizzling hot! Our server was such a delight, we let her know it was the middle for us to meet and couldn't believe we had both driven 45+ min but was grateful we did and even made recommendations for when we come back. We enjoyed their outdoor seating and had a great time with good food.

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.

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.
