    Quesabirrias
    Liliana R.

    Place is beautiful, loved The decoration, excellent service, guacamole and cheese dip were delicious and fresh. Food was ok, chilaquiles sauce was a little sweet, quesabirria's consomé was way too greasy as well as the enfrijoladas.

    I came here early afternoon on a thursday abba sat at the bar. It wasn't busy and i was waited on immediately. The bartenders were nice. I ordered a drink, pink panther... while a pretty drink it wasn't good in my opinion. Too sweet. When asked how I liked it, i told them not so much and that it was too sweet. They did remove from my bill. I got the burrito mexicano, with steak added cheese sauce to it, I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5. The refried beans and rice were good. Nice space, lots of seating. And they also have a live dj starting at 6 from what i understand.

    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!

    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!

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Visited Charlotte for the weekend and were wanting some Mexican food. Last meal before my flight…read moreout ended up being at Azul tacos, which was an outstanding choice. I opted for a California burrito with asada, this hit the spot. Not only was the burrito well wrapped but it was very savory and filled to where it left me full. The place is a counter service restaurant with a bar as well so you can go and order your food first then order your beer/cocktails of choice. They also have a salsa bar but chips are extra. The restaurant is slightly noisy and can probably fill fast during peak hours. Overall I would come back, definitely highlight to my Charlotte trip!

    I was in the mood to try and possibly find a new gem in the city and saw this place. The pics…read morelooked good and the reviews seemed to be good as well. This place gets one star from me. The food was extremely mediocre in taste and portions. I ordered the two-taco combo plate that comes with two sides. I chose Mexican Rice & Refried Beans as my side and the tacos I chose were Birria. Let's start there. There is no option to order anything other but the same two tacos so for example, I wanted to order one chicken and one birria or one shrimp taco and one birria taco, that option was not available. Most places allow you to customize your taco orders. I arrived to pick up my food and noticed the bag was NOTICEABLY light...which is a stark contrast to when I order this same kind of meal from my regular go to taco spots. I get home and start taking the food out of the bag and the taco presentation was good. They looked good and had pretty much what you would expect to be on them. I then go to open the containers that had my sides and noticed that the containers barely had any sides in them. I'm talking about the containers were less than half full of the rice and beans...to where it looks like they only put a couple of spoonfuls in each container. Which explains why the bag was so light. The rice looked like the typical Mexican rice and smelled about the same. It tasted very average, nothing special. The refried beans however, had no texture to them and looked like someone just put all the beans into a blender and turned them into a thick paste of some sort. They were completely flavorless and also didn't have the layer of cheese on top on them that most authentic places put on there. The three tacos were also very flavorless. The meats had absolutely NO flavor to them which is crazy for a birria taco. They were full enough with meat, salsa, onions, etc. but the meat had very little seasoning. I also found two VERY hard and sharp pieces of BONE in one of my birria tacos. I have braces and thought one of my back brackets had come loose. Imagine my surprise when I spit everything out and saw a decent chuck of bone shard. I set i aside and took another bit of ended up with yet another piece, albeit smaller, of shard in my mouth. As someone who moved here from Los Angeles and prior to that lived in Texas, this place just doesn't cut it for tacos. Not even for a chain restaurant quality of tacos. It's just like so many of these trendy restaurants popping up all over Charlotte with mediocre food trying to make a quick buck before it's eventually shut down for whatever reason . I'll be sticking to my two go to places which are very authentic taco spots where I have NEVER been disappointed. They are little pricier, but quantity and quality are worth it at this point. I have attached pics and you can see the pathetic amount of rice and beans that they gave me in that entire container, smh. You can see it from the top view and the side view where you can see the shadow lines of how full the containers were. For comparison, the container was about the size of a medium Mac N Cheese from Chick-fil-A. Rice and beans are literally the CHEAPEST items to acquire and add to meals so being stingy with them is a really bad look.

Eventually we did get it and I was surprised how well I liked the refried black beans and their rice I opted for their Birria tacos and they were very flavorful and the consommé was delicious. My husband opted for the fish tacos and well he had to fish for the fish in the fish tacos. It was very little and that was very disappointing. I asked him if he would return and he said he would, but he would either not get the fish tacos because they don't have near enough fish to be called a fish taco or he would ask that they put an adequate amount of fish in the taco. It was more slaw and cilantro than fish. But he did agree that the refried black beans were extremely delicious and the rice was very flavorful as well. We both like their chips, which are served with their house salsa. I was not a fan of the salsa. I like mine with a little bit more sweet nod, but my husband did enjoy the salsa.

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.
