Tucked in the back of the store, with a hot bar and amazing taco menu, these tacos were the best I have had in Charlotte. I do not speak Spanish (every other customer did) and they were so welcoming to me and my friend. Everyday taco special is 3 for $5. We went on a Saturday so the special was Asada. Delicious! The birria tacos were really yummy too, 3 for $10. If just ordering tacos, 4 tacos was the perfect amount for me. Next time will try the soup and pupusas! Order at the counter, wait for your food, they give you a receipt and you bring it up to the front cash register to pay. read more

Food was plentiful and good. The plantains were sweet and the shredded beef was tasty.

Amazing little restaurant in the back of a convenience store. Everyday they have a 3 for 5$ taco special. Their corn tortillas are the best, and the tacos hit the spot every time. This is my favorite corner authentic taco place. Definitely recommend! read more

A tasty taco spot that's almost a speakeasy! Los Reyes #2 from its facade looks like a convenient store, but like many other delicious taco places, it's hidden in the back. As you step in you can smell the delicious aromas from the front door. There's a small menu hung above a doorway and a glass window where several delectable delights await. The best part is that they have taco specials throughout the week! My favorite tacos were the Al pastor. Not what I've had in Mexico, but pretty good for being back in the states. They also sell large amounts to take home for family meals and there's tamales! The folks working were so nice! You'll have to be patient to place an order as they are cooking up magic in the back. This is also a great opportunity to practice your Spanish, as it seems preferred. While you wait there's plenty of yummy snacks and a whole dairy fridge to consider taking home. They also sell tortillas from Milagros. My personal favorite. Pair that with some oaxacan cheese and you'll have a yummy quesadilla. Lots of future meals to daydream about. After you get your order you'll pay at the front! Definitely worth a stop if you're in independence or shopping at Super G! It's right across the street. read more

Los Reyes 2 - Chicken tacos - Mexican Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Food tasted old. Fries were not fresh. This is buffet style and the food is bad not authentic Mexican at all, chicken tacos not made with grilled chicken just big pieces of baked chicken. The entire staff had an attitude and wouldn't give me a refund or replace my side. read more

Great food. They have a variety of foods cooked and you select what you want. Large plate comes with rice, beans, your choice of 2 sides and plantains or tortillas. All tastes like homemade food. The staff is Spanish but I think you could get through with basic Spanish and pointing at the items. read more

Los Reyes 2 - White rice with beans, pork chicharrón in green sauce, beef stewed with vegetables and fried plantains. All for $7.99. - Mexican Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Quaint little place with Great food. Great service. I got the 3 tacos asada and a large plate for later. The tacos had a good amount of meat and a great price. For the plate, I had the black bean rice, the black beans, beef, pork, and tortillas (instead of plantains). Everything was very good, but the pork and the black beans stood out. The beans were seasoned and very flavorful. Usually I prefer beef over pork, but the pork was wow. I would definitely recommend to others and will be back. read more

This place is amazing!!!!!! A little hidden gem, the staff is so friendly and the food is always hot and absolutely delicious. Love the green salsa that comes with the tacos. Best taco deal I've found in Charlotte, 4 tacos for $5 EVERYDAY!!! I love coming Tuesdays and Saturdays for Asada day but really, any of the tacos/meats are fresh and delicious. Highly recommend! read more

I m literally not done eating while writing this review. The best authentic Mexican little restaurant hidden inside the grocery store... you really need to dig inside to get what is in here. The food- super delicious. People- very friendly. Owner- appreciated that I stopped by. I got the to-go order- the best ever to go order from a Mexican restaurant. I m in love with their food. Yummy. Can't wait to go back again. read more

Their sanitation score could be WAY better. But other than that , it's really tasty fresh at lunch or dinner. I love the combination bowls.

I'm so glad I found this place. Little bit of a hole in the wall place but the food is outstanding. They have a daily special for 4 tacos. It's kinda silly how inexpensive if is. I have been ordering lunch at this establishment every other week for the past 8 weeks. I'm amazed how tasty everything is each time I get a meal. The hot sauce is homemade like everything on the menu. It's really tasty but super spicy. I added a bit to much the first time in and learned my lesson. This place is a hidden jewel, and defiantly worth checking out. read more

This hispanic market has a hidden jewel inside ! There is a Taqueria in the back that has the best Mexican food around. Burritos, Tacos and the likes. Call in to go orders around lunchtime as the blue collar crowd is here dining and there is a line. . There are about six tables for dine in, nothing fancy, but genuine Mexican grub ! Be sure to pick up a real Coca cola while you're there. Imported, made with real cane sugar, not the artificial crap. Any Latino groceries you need will be readily available also. Real nice people running the business, as they are all family. Food great, atmosphere nothing fancy. Nuff said. read more

I've been here 3 times in a period of 3 weeks. My first experience here was really good, and they were pretty busy. Usually when a restaurant is busy, they work fast paced, paying little attention to you. Not this place. Their staff is prompt and very friendly. Their food is amazing, authentic and has not disappointed at all. Love this place and will keep coming back. read more

Unassuming "restaurant" in the back of a convenience store. Excellent, high quality, authentic Mexican fare with a friendly staff.

WOW THIS PLACE IS GREAT!!! I came here with my mom for her lunch break and we ordered our tacos. They tasted fantastic. The wait was not long and let me tell you, they have ABSOLUTE BANGERS. The music is sooo good so I was enjoying a great meal with great music. (They also have some tables in corners so if you want to sit by yourself in a cozy corner, go ahead) read more

Very simple and to the point Reaturant at the back of a small grocery. A little intimidating if you don't speak Spanish, but everyone is especially nice and welcoming. The food is authentic and wonderfully tasteful. I esp Loved the sweet plantains. read more

This is the worst place ever! Besides the store stinks, their customer service sucks! We had to wait around 20 minutes for the lady to hang up the phone. Apparently she was too busy talking with her "comadre". Not happy with that, she was aggressive and mean while taking care of what we needed. So far, I am not going back to that place in my life. read more

YUUMM!!! This our favorite spot for authentic northern Mexican food. The tacos are FREASH and sooo delicious. Its a party in my mouth with each bite. I get upset when I get full because I just want to keep tasting! It's not fancy. You won't get chips/salsa at the table and the menu is posted on the wall. But they are so sweet and accommodating to what you want. And everything is made to order. I love their tacos de carne asada. I can't eat more than 3-they come STUFFED w meat, onion, and cilantro and come w red and green salsas. They have white and yellow rice and 3 types of beans. The kitchen is VERY clean. And I love the music. You should definitely give it a try! read more

This place is different. My sister likes to stop in for lunch. Honestly the most authentic Mexican food in the area. Kind of like eating at the taco truck. read more
