    Lengua, carnitas, al pastor, and chorizo tacos
    Christopher N.

    These were some of the BEST tacos I've ever had (and I've had SO many). Make sure to make a reservation, because they only have 4 tables, and you DON'T want to miss this place. Their tortillas are fantastic, the meat in all the tacos were had we incredibly juicy and tender (plus, there was a LOT of it), and the chicken tamale was FULL of flavor. On top of all that, the service was amazing. They really make you feel at home. The photos really don't do it justice, go try it for yourself. If you're there in Tuesday, grab your $1.50 tacos!

    Tenders n fries

    Wow! I know tortillas and their corn one are the best I've had in CLT. Taco Tuesday $1 flour tortillas are offered but not homemade. Started eating them, forgot to take a picture. Chorizo queso dip was good $5.00 w their homemade chips. About 4 booths or tables. A little slower becuz of the busy Tuesday. Can call ahead & take out. Super happy we tried it. BIG issue no bathroom, so use their hand sanitizer and don't have to go...

    I have been back a couple more times and have to update my review to 5 stars. Such good quality and authentic food. The people who work here are very nice and patient when taking your order.

    Beef burrito

    This was the most authentic Mexican place I've ever eaten at!!! I don't eat meat so my choices are typically very limited but they have something for everyone. I got the white fish tacos and it was the freshest fish I've ever had. My fiancé got the beef burrito and he said it was amazing. The service was also great. They made us feel right at home. Will definitely be back.

    Small and amazing restaurants!

    This is my favorite place to eat nowadays, Taco Tuesday is a hit for the family and super duper delicious tacos, my new favorite dessert is the changos, sweet pastry with cheese filling, drizzled with strawberrie and chocolate and straberries with vanilla bean ice cream on the side.

    Best Mexican!!!!

    I have ignored this place for years, its in a Shell gas station parking lot but I always noticed how busy it was. I took the plunge two weeks ago and holy cow! The best Mexican in Charlotte and I lived in Southern California before Charlotte. Chimichanga's were not on the menu but I asked if they could make one and voila! The beef was incredibly flavorful and finely chopped the way I like it. The rice and beans were very flavorful too. Huge portion, I had three meals out of it for about $10.00. Very friendly staff and very tiny place, only four tables. The second time I went I ordered a chicken burrito and again, BAM! $8.00 and enough for two. This will be my go to Mexican, I highly recommend it.

It is rare to have a server who brings such a positive energy to the table, and Orhan definitely did that. I ordered the Burrito Basico with steak, and it was amazing. The steak was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, and the burrito itself was packed with fresh ingredients that all blended together so well. Every bite was full of flavor, and the portion size was more than worth it. Between the delicious food and Orhan's outstanding service, this was an excellent experience overall. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend asking for Orhan.

With its subdued lighting, faded brick walls and tightly packed tables, it's the perfect spot to escape with a bottle of tequila on a rainy Friday night.

On a recent visit, my wife and I started with a bowl of chips and queso, accompanied by a pair of oversized house margaritas. When I complained to our server about my drink's disappointing lack of kick, he took it off the bill and recommended the far superior Patron Cadillac Margarita, which improved my mood in a hurry. For dinner, I dove into a delicious taco combo platter of steak, carnitas and baja fish, while my wive enjoyed a tasty Taco Salad. Service was outstanding throughout our meal, the prices were reasonable, and the ambiance superb. Well worth a visit if you're looking for solid Mexican food and margaritas in Charlotte.

Tacos El Nevado came highly recommended, so I headed over for lunch with high hopes. The restaurant was packed when I arrived around 1:30 p.m., which is usually a good sign. It appears to be a converted fast-food building with its own parking lot, outdoor patio, and a casual, family-friendly atmosphere. Despite the Charlotte heat pushing triple digits, the dining room was comfortable and bustling. Service was friendly from the start, and I was quickly seated with ice water, lemon, fresh chips, and three house-made salsas. The chips were excellent--fresh, crisp, and clearly made in-house. The standout salsa for me was the red salsa, which packed plenty of heat and flavor. There was also a tomatillo salsa and a creamy green avocado-style salsa. Both were good, although the tomatillo leaned a little too tart for my taste. The menu is extensive, with everything from seafood dishes and quesadillas to tacos and larger combination plates. As someone who loves sampling a little of everything, I was hoping for more traditional combo options, but this menu takes a different approach. I ordered the crispy taco plate with rice and beans. The presentation was attractive, with the tacos served upright in a metal rack alongside refried beans and Mexican rice. The rice and beans were both delicious and easily the highlight of the plate. Where things got mixed for me was the taco filling. I was expecting a straightforward seasoned ground beef taco, but the beef filling tasted more like a guisado-style preparation with a softer texture and a slightly tangy flavor profile. It may simply be a regional style or a misunderstanding when ordering, but it wasn't what I had anticipated. The chicken taco, however, was excellent. Tender, flavorful, and clearly made with higher-quality chicken than you typically find in a crispy taco. After trying it, I immediately wished I had ordered all chicken. While this visit didn't completely win me over, I don't think it's fair to judge a restaurant by one dish. The packed dining room, friendly service, fresh chips, excellent salsas, and strong chicken taco all suggest there's more to explore here. Next time, I'd skip the crispy beef tacos and dive into the street tacos or some of the house specialties that seem to be what many regulars were ordering. Tacos El Nevado didn't become my favorite Mexican restaurant in Charlotte on this visit, but it earned a second chance. Life is too short not to eat well, Charlotte. Keep exploring. Sometimes the next great meal is just one menu item away.

Also, the sides for the burrito are listed in Spanish so I have a hard time figuring out which one is the refried beans or not and this time instead of receiving what I thought was refried beans I was just given some plain pinto beans. I really wish that their delivery menu set up was easier for a customer to order and modify, especially if they have options of meat with no clear button to click on and they're just making assumptions in the kitchen.

    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.
