Sitting area with grass wall
Ver'Nita D.

I've gone here so many times because the food and drinks are amazing and the prices are affordable! I've gone when they have a live DJ and customers got up and started doing line dances which was so fun! I've also gone for a quick lunch with coworkers, placed delivery orders here, and even went as a last-minute impromptu birthday dinner and they were very accommodating. Zero complaints about the ambiance, quality of service and their bathroom is immaculate. As long as they're in business, I'll be coming back!

Chicken tacos over a bed of rice

I went to this place for a friend's birthday dinner. The drinks were good and the dish that I ordered was so good I really enjoyed it. I didn't finish it all so I took the rest to go. Live DJ the atmosphere was great and the staff kept checking on us. The only thing I wasn't pleased with was the bday party gratuity that they charge each person at the table. Smh other than that the food was good.

Very good establishment that gets the job done each time we've visit. Very spacious inside. Prices are good, food is tasty with a good variety and staff is organized. Alot of people frequent this restaurant. I have no issue and would recommend.

Burrito Especial
Ellie P.

Was super confused with the rebrand (?) Came here with my boyfriend the queso was insane. Super heavy and thick very good. Service was fast our waiter just talked extremely fast. The vibe was cool and kind of loud but I liked the decorations. My bf got a sad ass burrito but he said it was really good. Enchiladas were OK. I order the same thing at every Mexican restaurant so hard to top my favorites. Would probably get something different next time.

Food was very good. My friend and I both got the ACP lunch special. I really enjoyed the queso covered rice and felt like it was a good portion size. There was a little heat to the food (spice) but it wasn't too bad. I appreciate them doing the lunch menu until 4pm. Service was just ok. Our waitress took awhile to greet us and then never came back after the food arrived to the table. We had to ask someone else for the check and then ended up paying at the host stand because she wasn't around to take payment. Overall a good experience and I wouldn't mind eating here again.

Had dinner at Mi Pueblo for the first time this past Saturday night with a friend, and it was amazing, from the food to the service. I ordered their chicken fajita quesadilla with rice and beans, and it was all incredible! The food was very delicious and flavorful, and the portions are HUMONGOUS, so we definitely had leftovers afterward. My friend and I split a queso dip, and it was delicious-no surprise there. I also ordered their horchata, which was pretty good! I think I found a new spot whenever I'm craving Mexican . It's also a great place to get dinner with friends and family.

Shrimp Fajitas
Andrew F.

My colleague and I were looking for something different for our Friday lunch, and he suggested Mi Pueblo. I wasn't looking for anything heavy, as the sauces can sometimes be, and so I wasn't optimistic when I opened the lunch menu. Boy was I surprised! I chose the shrimp fajitas with corn tortillas, and they were great, The guacamole tasted great, the vegetables were fresh and crispy, and the shrimp was al dente with a slight spice to it. My colleague also order the salsa verde, which had a nice kick to it with the chips and sprinkled over the rice. Last but not least the prices was very reasonable. This place was great, and I would recommend it!

Classic margarita
Nicole C.

Heads up, I didn't get to eat so keep that in mind when reading this review. I visited on a Saturday at 2:30 and within less than 10 mins I'd placed my order. I ended up leaving an hour later as my food had not come out. When I asked, they didn't even know what I'd ordered. I ordered fish tacos for context - I was pretty disappointed because I don't believe that should've taken an hour. I had high hopes when I entered because there was a DJ playing some great tunes. The DJ was doing his THING. We did get our margaritas which were very tasty. However - hunger won and I left to find something else as our servers were not helpful when we expressed our hunger and concerns.

Anywhere with a good ACP, sign me up immediately! The margarita fight was DELICIOUS and I was so happy that my friend who doesn't eat meat could get a veggie bowl that's full of color!

Mi Pueblo is always a vibe. The ambiance is fresh, clean and beautifully decorated. Lots lot seating. Great for large parties or intimate party of 2. Great choice for birthday dinner. This place is ran like a restaurant should be ran. The servers are well trained. As soon as you're seated, servers bring warm chips and salsa. If your server is busy with another party you are always acknowledged that they will be right with you. I've been here a hundred times and they are always consistent. Lots of menu items, great drinks and just about everything is good.

Veggie loco bowl
Rose G.

I believe this was my first time at Mi Pueblo or I just haven't been in a while but my experience was great ! From the food, service and the ambiance. I ordered the loco veggie bowl and it was a great big portion, so you'll definitely get your moneys worth !! I also ordered a virgin daiquiri, and it too was huge, but amazing. I will definitely be back to this location in the future, no doubt in my mind!

Oil filled Steak Chimichanga
Meghan F.

This location has consistently gone downhill since it opened.... And last night we decided it would be our last time giving it "another chance". The large queso portion was almost half the size it usually is and super milky/runny, when we asked as it arrived they told us "they got new bowls".... Steak chimichanga was absolutely FILLED with oil from the fryer. So much oil it wasn't even edible.... The rice in the ACP was old and there were pieces of hard, dried rice, scattered throughout...and in general the whole plate was super dry and gross. The chips were also not fresh.

Especial de Jesus
Shakarie C.

The new name is Ma'Luz and it is a really nice spot. A friend recommended eating here and it did not disappoint. We sat next to the fountains and they had music playing which was very nice. It was still early afternoon so they also had a brunch menu. I ordered the chicken taquitos with the sweet corn sauce and the cheese and bean dip. My daughter ordered the house special with beef (two burritos I think). The food was good and so was the sweet tea. The staff was great as well. Definitely a place I plan on visiting again!

The service was OK though it seemed most people did not speak English, which is fine. It just made it kind of harder to communicate. That said the food was decent but the reason why I gave two stars was because I feel very misled on pricing. The menu showed Que Siberia tacos three for $12. Steak/Asada tacos for three dollars which brings my total to 15+ the two drinks. I thought she said it was $20.80 so I paid it with my card and gave her five dollars cash for a tip. I get to the car just to double check the transaction and she charged me 3499 on my card and took the cash. I went back inside to confront her about this advising. She completely overcharged me, and she only offered to give my six dollars tip back to me. I am now going to dispute the transaction with my bank because I was unable to resolve this issue. That's sad.

The order was slow to come out and was incorrect, I'll live. It was the lack of follow up that got me. Never seen the ordered cheese dip or requested salsa. Did not see server any where. Other servers busy with their own stations. Wrong order, no ordered items delivered to table, and no service. I left. Why beg? Now, let's talk about Woodlawn. I drove down 77 to this location, after all I am still hungry. Warmly greeted and promptly seated. My server was FANTASTIC. Night and day difference in food and service. Order delivered correctly and promptly. He approached my table several times to insure all was good. The difference between to two stores has made me quit forever the Northlake location. WOODLAWN is the place!

Prices are extremely reasonable especially for the economy. Service is wonderful, chips and salsa were refilled promptly, drinks were tended to, and all with laughs and banter throughout. I got a steak quesadilla, my boyfriend got an enchilada plate. I wanted to try one of their specials but I was craving an easy meal all day! Everything came out fast, hot, and fresh. My spicy margarita had the perfect kick, and his giant mug of beer was ice cold. The restaurant is far bigger than it appears outside. I worried we would have to wait for a table, but they have a great set up. Music was great, plenty of TVs if your boyfriend (or you) wants to watch the game. Can't wait to come back!

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.
