This is a magnificent place! Excellent family run Tortaria with a fabulous diverse and creative menu. They were making scratch tortillas when I walked in. It's authentic Mexican menu filled with fresh deliciousness and a nice touch of spice. I got one of the special sandwiches and street corn and it was more than enough! With rice and beans on the side my dinner was $25 buck including a Mexican Coke. There is this orange salsa that cam in the dish and it was super spicy and I loved it!!! The place may not have any real ambiance it's mostly a take out place but there's some picnic tables outside and a couple seats. The people behind the counter were happy and pleasant and made me feel welcome. Service was fast and excellent. Gotta love these little family places!!! Try it you won't be disappointed read more

Las Meras Tortas - Adjacent to the gas station convenience store is a gem torta joint! - Mexican Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

I stopped in just to pickup black beans and yes, they are seasoned well. I would try them again for something else on the menu. They have a very tiny seating area so to go may be best. Thumbs up! read more

The food was amazing. It's hard to find dishes that satisfy your taste buds and your soul. It's the kind of meal that soothes away stress. A classic hole in the wall spot where all the love is given to the integrity of the meal. No pretentious menu. No frills. No exorbitant pricing. There are a couple tables inside and out, but not many. We got the sopes, arroz y frijoles, and agua frescas. read more

Tacos were hot, fresh and made to order. It's attached to a Citgo gas station with a door leading from Las Meras Tortas into the gas station/convenience store. Inside Los Meras Tortas they have a small seating area. The food was great but they could keep the ordering / dining area and windows cleaner but other than that the food was great and the staff friendly. I will return for another great meal. read more

I was just passing through and stopped to get gas when I noticed signs saying no restaurant parking, which made me look around. That's when I realized there was a small Mexican food spot tucked in there. I had no idea what to expect, but decided to pop in--and I'm so glad I did. I ordered a sopes with lengua and it was SO good. And the salsa? Easily the best salsa I've had since moving to North Carolina. The dining space is small, so I'd recommend ordering to go, but the menu has a great variety and everything tasted fresh and authentic. Definitely a place I'll be going back to. read more

This unassuming taco shop, located next to a gas station, serves up incredibly authentic Mexican cuisine. Think delicious street tacos and plenty of other options to please everyone. It's a bit small, so takeout or eating in the parking lot might be easier, especially when there's a line. It's a bit of a dive, but I would definitely go back! read more

I was so excited to find this little taco place on the side of the road. The more hidden and small the shop, the better the food. I had no problem finding this place. When I went inside, I could tell how small it was. There were maybe 3 tables, and could fit probably no more than 10 customers inside at a time. The menu was overwhelming. Even though I grew up being spoken to in Spanish, it wasn't enough to clarify all the menu items. Thankfully they have an English description underneath. I saw a paper sign with "We have birria tacos" written on it, and decided to get a couple. I ordered two birria tacos, and two chicken tacos. The total was $17!!! WHAT?!!! Apparently each birria taco was like $5.20. Frankly, I wouldn't have bought them had I known the price. I would up tipping and the total was a couple cents short of $20 for 4 tacos. When I got home, I was a bit disappointed having felt like I overpayed. I thought there was no way those tacos would be worth the price. I was so wrong! All 4 tacos were heaping with meat, onions and cilantro. The beef birria tacos were so insanely gigantic, like the size of two regular tacos. They both also came with a beef consomé which had a great flavor and was a bit on the thicker side. The meat was juicy and tender and flavorful. It still had a cheese pull, despite driving home for ~13 minutes. The chicken tacos paired well with the green sauce. I haven't tried the orange sauce yet because it looks too creamy for me. Overall I definitely would be back to purchase more from this shop. Five stars! read more

Amazing Mexican food! Inside is really hot so I suggest eating outside if it's nice out or taking the food to go. The place is small with only a few tables. I had the beef birria tacos and they were sooo good! The meat was very tender and flavorful. The consume was also good. They gave you a lot of meat in the tacos also! I also had the maduros and loved them. The sauces they came with were good. The orange sauce was super spicy! I will definitely come back and try other dishes! read more

I will start by saying that you should believe EVERYTHING you hear about Las Meras Tortas! It's THAT good! I would always see great reviews, hear that it's located in a gas station mart on Statesville/21 (it's actually next door to the mart) and that that line is always long/always a wait, but really good! Well, no lie was told! LOL! I went on a Friday evening and there was a line/wait to order and receive food. But as I said, it was worth it! Ordered the Al Pastor Burrito, Los Sopes and Tacos (chicken, beef and carnitas). They were OUTSTANDING! Las Meras Tortas knows exactly what they're doing and I hope they never go away! Staff was helpful in taking orders, calling them out and trying to get you in/out in a reasonable time. I believe it was about 20-30 minutes wait from ordering to getting out. But like I said, it was WELL worth it! If you're in the area and have a craving for Mexican, you MUST hit them up! read more

It's on the side of the gas station. Everyone speaks Spanish and only some speak will enough English. Keep that in mind if you tend to ask a lot of questions or want to make lots of modifications. The food is all delicious and the portions are very filling! Everything we got was fresh and comes out quickly. read more

3 things. 1 the place smelled like cleaning products. at least they clean. that's not a negative for me right now. 2 I saw a review that said they skip over customers. I ordered two tacos and sat down and some girls came in and ordered and their food was prepared before my two tacos. I ordered two of the same type of taco too... but idk maybe they were waiting for the meat to cook or something who knows. finally 3. the chorizo was different from other chorizo i've had. had a beefy flavor and was super finely ground and soft. could be a flavor thing. if you ever bought cacique brand chorizo and tried to fry it in a pan it was that type of chorizo. the sauces were good the tortillas were good and I don't think the service was bad necessarily. maybe my charlotte neighbors who look like me don't treat them too well when they come to shop i'm not sure. idk just be nice to these ppl when you come here I feel like my peers might not treat them great based on what I experienced. read more

This place was recommended to me by The Food Blocker (see previous post). I have no idea why I listened, but I think it was because I saw this as an adventure. This is despite me not being a big fan of gas station restaurants. When I walked in, I ordered two soft tacos. The lady behind me looked at me like I was the whitest dude who had ever walked through those doors. She then started to speaking to me in Spanish. I pretended to understand, stuck up to fingers and said, "Dos tacos." She looked at me sideways again and I stood out of the way. Now ... I usually don't like when someone stands with their ass in my face, but on this day, I unintentionally did this to someone else. I was almost backed up against the wall (facing the counter) and had no idea there was a guy sitting in a chair behind me for a solid three minutes. He didn't move or anything. I was too close for him to move. What was he going to do? Stand up and say, "Disculpe Senor, su culo esta en mi cara!" I wouldn't have known what he was saying because I just used a translation service. Looking at those words, I probably would have thought he was saying, "You are disciplined, sir, despite the asses in here. You can ride in my carriage." Then I would have been really confused. I eventually de-ass-faced the man and got my order, which cost me, "Two Seventeen Ten." I got in the car, nervously opened the box, stared at it, took two bites, and said aloud, "No mas." True story. The End. read more

I was sitting in the parking lot at NorthLake Mall when I was searching Yelp for new ideas for dinner. Las Meras Tortas popped up and with such stellar reviews- I eagerly went with no hesitation. This place is adjacent to the gas station and is small. Seating is limited with very little standing room. There is a big menu with many options to choose from and also a small prepared hot food area. Placing my order my first time was a bit of a hassle because of the language barrier between myself and the cashier. But we managed to get it together and we waited for food. We could watch them prepare everything since the place is not so big. We went with the following: Elote - Mexican street corn and they do it right. Slathered in mayo with lots of cheese and chili. Pupusas - I went with chiccharones con queso (pork with cheese) and it was hands down some of the best I have had in Charlotte. Their cutrido was legit and on point. The entire meal was flavorful and insane. Burrito - I ordered a bistek (steak) burrito for my man and that sucker was heavy!!! I mean so heavy. He let me try it and as full as I was from the pupusas- I really wanted to eat his burrito too. It was again delicious. Cheese Quesadilla with fries: fries were standard but hot and fresh and the cheese quesadilla was large and very gooey with cheese. My son was in heaven. The only thing that went wrong with my first order was due to the language barrier. I wanted 2 orders of the pupusas (3each) but she rang me up two each. When I asked about it - they quickly fixed it and apologized and corrected my order. On my second visit - the cashier remembered me and made sure she got my order for pupusas right this time. I also decided to order from their prepared hot food items and for $10 I received one whole large fried tilapia with a side of rice and beans. Holy guacamole- you guys, this meal was BANGING! The fish was seasoned well but those refried beans - are made with love and it shows. These are not out of can and you can tell. I don't even like refried beans but they converted me. I would gladly eat theirs with any and every meal. The rice was good too! We also tried their pollo Gorditas. And no they don't resemble anything remotely close what you get at Taco Bell. These are the real deal and again - we were not disappointed. Also went with a bistek los huaraches and it was delicious. We had never ordered that before from any place so I can't compare it to anything but the flavors were good. They make all their mass which means they make all their tortillas and everything else they use. This low key hole in the wall is definitely a hidden gem. And will definitely be our go to for any Mexican food now. read more

I ordered quesadilla plate and I received a sorry poor looking plate of food. I asked if they had "avocados slices and sour cream", they said yes, so I asked why it's not in the plate I ordered and they said it doesn't include it when in their menu it says it does. To top it off, it had a women's hair and I called them and they said I couldn't get store credit nor get money back because I had already eaten some of it. Worst service and nasty restaurant. This is the second time I've been there and both times I have the same thing happen over and over again. Avoid going there read more

Food was deliciiiioooouuusssss!! Everyone was very friendly, definitely a to go kind of place.

This place is so surprisingly good. It's next door to a gas station. I actually tried to call yesterday to place an order and I asked to place a to-go order and was responded to with "Ma'am this is a gas station." LOL I always get Al Pastor tacos, because they are the far superior taco! They are delicious, inexpensive and the sauces included are delicious. Hubby always gets a quesadilla or burrito, and I think they're pretty overpriced for what they are, but he likes them! It's not a fancy place, but get ready to enjoy some delicious, authentic food. read more

This is the real deal, Real Mexican food none of that Tex Mex stuff. If your looking for things like flautas, sopes, haurachas and tacos know you can have them here. Flautas come 6-7 per order covered with creama, pickled jalapenos, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Sopes here are some of the lighter that I've had. You can actually cut them with plastic ware. Three come per order choose chicken, beef or a mix of both. There are lots of options for tacos. Thursday's is a new favorite some of them are just $1.00. Others $1.99 either way you won't leave breaking the bank. Last visit ordered two pork and two roasted pabalano peppers with cheese both were delicious and went back after doing laundry for two more of each! Food is solid and even ran into a couple who drives from Concord to get take out from here. read more

Decided to try this place out when visiting some friends after seeing the positive reviews. I love that it's connected to a gas station--definitely added to its divey-ness. My friends and I came for lunch on a weekday and it was super busy (a great sign!). We ordered a bunch of different things. I got several types of tacos which were delicious, packed with flavor, juicy, and fresh. Loved the corn tortillas too. The agua frescas are HUGE--the watermelon one was just pure pureed watermelon juice, aka fantastic! My friends who are local have since come back multiple times and love it! read more

Food is still good but it's getting expensive. The prices have increased and there are now fees to pay with a debit or credit card. My order was incomplete. The language barrier made it difficult to communicate that I was missing an entire entree. I spent nearly $50 for a quesadilla, chalupa order (3 in an order - this is the item that was missing), 5 tacos, and 2 churros. I should have asked for a receipt because that seemed excessive in price. Lesson learned. I'll be back again. read more

I'm no expert and I don't know if it's really genuine authentic southern food or just locally sourced food-stuffs prepared in the southern tradition but I like it and it's a pretty good deal and it's a great location heading in to work: if I didn't gas the truck the night before and skipped breakfast I can fill up twice on one stop. Got a little efficiency kitchen stuck on the side of a mini-mart. You get to see everything that goes into making your food so no surprises! Since I don't see breakfast pizzas on the menu I've been into the Huevos Rancheros + rice + beans + bonus tortillas: ¡It's so bueno! read more

Las Meras Tortas - Gorditas carnitas - Mexican Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

True blue hole in da wall! Can only seat maybe 6-8 folks. Menu is full of authentic Mexican and South American food! Real deal here folks! Affordable too! Our family tried to order differently to sample a few items. Here we go - Tacos we tried the Al Pastor GOOD ONE - the BARBACOA - SLAMMING y'all best of the bunch - the Lengua - bland and not as tender - Tripa (pork chitterlings fried) nice texture with the crunch but also bland. Las Sopes - fried corn flour topped with your choice of meat beans and cheese. Barbacoa again the favorite with Al Pastor ( spicy pork) in 2nd place! Papusas were awesome very meaty served piping hot fresh and the vinegar slaw ( can't remember the name)is a great compliment!!! Elcote Locos - Mexican street corn covered in cotija cheese and a spice mixture with good flavor I loved it hubby not so much ! WARNING- their sanitation rating was only 82 so yeah there's that but I do believe I'll return. read more

The service was great. But it was HOT as all get out inside. It was my first time there and I am kinda of unfamiliar with the menu options - but somehow I knew I was in the right place... I pointed to a few pics and got my food to go. I got home and it was ALL good. Except the churros...The churros were a bit sub par... I wish I can remember everything else I ordered - but it was good... Definitely worth it. read more

Delicious! Luckily for us we discovered this restaurant on a Thursday, just the time to celebrate Taco Thursday. There are selected Meat options for $.99 a taco, such a steal! We ended up ordering lengua, pastor, tripa, and bushe.. all very delicious! The pastor was a bit drier than what we would of preferred.. other than that we really enjoyed the bushe for the first time. Great flavor and juicy. Just a few things to acknowledge if this is your first time.. First off it is attached to a gas station. Secondly, when we went the cashier didn't speak English.. Which was not an issue for us, I quite prefer it. Great sign of authenticity! Lastly, the sauces are a great range from adding a little something yummy to top youR taco to burn your tongue off.. BUT seriously you have been warned! The staff was very efficiently getting the orders completed and served in a timely manner.. read more

Shared the same parking lots with the gas station. The restaurant itself is small and have limited seating area. They have a large varies of choices and it took me awhile to decided but ended up getting an al pastor burrito with no beans and plantains, sooo good. I almost finished it. Order two tripas, two chicarrone and two al pastor tacos. The chicarrone taco isn't filled with a lot of meat but it's still good regardless but it's a bit to mushy for my liking. Order a tamales for my daughter but didn't know it was a sweet corn tamale so she didn't eat it since she didn't like it. It was good make a good dessert. The horchata taste like chocolate milk which was crazy since I wasn't expecting that. Over all it was good. Will be back read more

How do I find great places attached to gas stations? Yelp! Don't be fooled by the location. This is a pace you will want to get your order to go unless it's a nice day to sit outside. The menu has a great selection of favorites but I went with a house special torta but I don't recall the name. It was a toasted with grilled ground steak and chorizo topped with grilled ham, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, jalapenos and I added guac of course. I was only able to eat half despite how good it was. Sides include chips, plantains or something else. I've bookmarked this location and can wait to go back and try something else. read more

Foods good I take this place as a make it your way they make it there way and honestly it's very good I 100% recommend to give it a try it

I go to the one in Charlotte off of Albemarle on Farm Pond. The best in town and I'm grateful its on my side of CLT. I go there 1-3 times a week and have never had a bad meal. Just found it September 2023 but it's been there for years. Glad I finally gave it a shot! No more up and down Central Ave. or South Blvd looking for good Mexican/South American food. It's right in my backyard at Las Meras Tortas. It's a little "hole in the wall" but don't be fooled. read more

The BEST tacos in the South! Authentic Mexican tacos packed with meat, fresh cilantro and lime wedges served with a ripe jalapeño under$3!!!

Sadly, we don't go here anymore. Their service has plummeted, and the food just isn't as good. Their health scores are also of concern. Here's the case of a small restaurant being unable to handle the increased attention brought on by the review excitement. read more

Definitely good tasting Mexican. I've been to Mexico and this place is damn near close to it. Atmosphere is as expected when visiting an authentic Mexican restaurant. read more

Almost hidden in a gas station, this is one of the best spots for authentic mexican food. This has become one of our favorite go to places, we eat here about once a week. On Thursdays they have $0.99 tacos!!! My favorite is the steak Chida, which is basically a steak sandwich with avocado, lettuce, onions,tomatoes, pickled jalapeños, and queso fresco. Food here is consistently good and you can't beat the prices. read more

You wouldn't think a small unassuming restaurant attached to a gas station would have the best tacos in town, but then again who am I to judge? Let me start by saying that I consider myself somewhat of a taco connoisseur and these tacos definitely live up to the hype. I have been coming here for tacos for a couple of years and after moving out of town, and visiting some family for the weekend, I had to stop by. I got two tacos de Chile relleno, two cochinita pibil, two al pastor, two barbacoa, a pollo quesadilla, and one torta al pastor. While I only ate the tacos, my family raved about their meals. Hands down the beat Mexican food in the area and I will continue to support them whenever I am in town. Also be sure to try their orange salsa! I believe it is made with habañero but it is super addictive and spicy. Definitely recommend the cochinita pibil tacos. read more
