Food- excellent Truly wonderful homemade chips & salsa. Also am a big fan of their creamy chipotle sauce. Ambiance- clean, not too loud, easy to chill, several rooms to choose from Service- 99/100 times is excellent of course got a guy the other day for lunch (only time out of many many many visits this ever happened!) who had to be asked several times for a hot water AND got my lunch order wrong too. ‍ Though had to get check corrected at register since he was nowhere to be found - total outlier experience. Was clearly undeterred as I went back 2 days later Staff is full of nice folks with good service (and getting it to go is easy too since I can order it online) In summary, this is my local go-to for legit Ameri-Mex meals. read more

Fav Mexican restaurant around locust! Quick in and out service. The salsa is my absolute favorite. We have been going here for years. Still the go to for Mexican in our area for sure! read more

Great service, Food is always great.. The staff is always prompt and friendly service every time.

This used to be my favorite- However I will NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN!! The food is below par and it's like it's all previously made just sitting back there getting cold waiting to serve it as fresh and it's not and they want to overcharge you for it!! El Vaquero WILL be our go to as they have freshly hot cooked food and great service!! The middle dining section of this restaurant is always so loud (since it's just a wide open room) that you can't even hear yourself speak- I paid $46 for 2 ACP that look like crap and like a toddler fixed it in a easy bake oven and one Mexican soup that was way less full than normal (had two 2 inch pieces of zucchini and some tomatoes and onions) - If you are looking for So-So food then this is your place!! read more

We enjoy this restaurant, the food is always good and comes out pretty quickly. The drinks are good too but if you want a margarita be prepared to get a lot of it! lol no complaints over here on that. read more

Mi Fuente Fresh Mexican Grill - Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Locust, North Carolina

Really yummy and authentic Mexican food!!!! Came here and was not disappointed with service or quality of food!!!! Lots of menu options to choose from, really nicely decorated and clean. Clean bathrooms!!!! The food was fresh tasting and delicious, we will be back!!! Highly recommend! read more

I drove 20 miles outside of CLT to try this place and I"ll definitely be back! As far as commercial Mexican restaurants go, this place is many times better than anything I encounter in CLT, unless I go to "un-Americanized" places that are not just authentic, they are genuine Mexican and South American food places. Mi Fuente has the best quesa-birria tacos I had outside of the state of Texas. The ACP and other traditional dishes are just miles above better than the places I've been in CLT, and that's at ton! Well worth the drive if you don't live in Locust. read more

A friend recommended this Mexican restaurant and since we are moving into the area next week, I decided to check it out with my 4 year old son. Everything was delicious and fresh. The restaurant itself smelled so clean and was very inviting. I appreciated the attentiveness of the staff and the hospitality we received. We will definitely be back! read more

See all

Still the only place in Locust still worth eating at. Cold beer, friendly service and great food. read more

Ohhhhmmmyygoodness! I recently moved to Locust from Charlotte. I was worried i wouldn't find authentic Mexican food ( my personal fave). Boy was I wrong. When they say Fresh they mean FRESH. My guacamole taste like they cut an avocado just for me! Writing this review makes me want to go back for me! Food was served hot , Customer service was great , and prices were reasonable ! I hate to admit it but I will be a regular here! read more

Very good authentic Mexican dishes. It's my go to Mexican restaurant for this area. With 4 in town, this is always my first choice. My favorite is the Mexican Feast. The service is always good. I took my wife there yesterday and the bill came to $26 with drinks. Can't beat that. read more

Always good and hot. Super fast. They make their to go orders full in those containers.

Got Texas fajitas last night and the whole dish was burned. Steak was like eating beef jerky. They were very busy and that seems to to be when food quality goes down. read more

Good local Mexican. Friendly staff. Very friendly. Would go back. Like for take out for the family. Reasonably priced. read more

Great Food. Been there many times and it's always consistent. Great job. You all rock

Absolutely one of my favorite places to eat and usually on a weekly basis. The owner and staff have done a great job during the past year to keep us happy at home (takeout) with their excellent food and great service. If you're out this way stop and try it or you'll be missing out! read more

Great friendly service. Food was really good and authentic. And the drinks well balanced definitely come back.

Great food, great service, try the chicken soup but it's enough for 2 meals! Nice place.

Love this spot! Found this place while working, I have to say it "Very Good"! The employees are humble, helpful and pleasant! It's not always about just the food...service is also key!! read more

It's not bad at all. Good service, generous portions. Just about the standard local Mexican menus but they do have specials and it's a bright and cheery place so if I want to eat in Locust this is a good choice. read more

I gave this place a very generous 2 stars. Pros: great service, great cheese dip, great guacamole Cons: no alcoholic beverages which means no margaritas BOO! I ordered the shrimp fajitas which were cold (no sizzling plate) shrimp had odd fishy taste and so did my ice water Won't be back read more

Mi Fuente is alway a solid choice when seeking a quality meal at a fair price. This family business prides itself on cleanliness, freindliness, and prompt service. The menu features all of your traditional Mexican fare, with a handful of very well prepared gems in the mix. Don't miss the house Fajitas served sizzling hot, or the Enchiladas Roquette for comfort food satisfaction! For the slightly more adventurous diner, the Tacos de Carne Asada is a well prepared dish, full of robust flavor served on authentic corn tortillas. Muy Beuno! read more

The food is great. However the service is not. You get multiple people serving you but at the same time every one is running around like they aren't sure where they need to go. I'd say this is more of a call in and take home restaurant. read more

Love love love this place! Have been going for years! Fantastic food! And fast service. Mexican food is my absolute favorite so I've tried many different restaurants and I always end up liking this one the most! I refer everyone here read more

Slightly below average US style Mexican food. Prices are good, staff is pretty friendly, atmosphere average. Not bad, but nothing special. read more

We are regulars. Love the food! Staff is friendly and it's a great value. It is kept very clean and they are very efficient! I also really appreciate the fact that they have lots of vegetarian options!!! read more

After eating here for over 10 years we had our first bad experience. I had ordered the steak fajitas (which I have had dozens of times). For some reason this order was horrible. The steal was tough and flavorless and the sour cream was spoiled and warm. I would chalk it up to someone new in the kitchen (as they have hired some new people) or something else. The issue came when we payed the bill. The young lady behind the counter as how everything was. When I told her that it was the worst meal we had ever had there, her reply was "That's too bad". I reiterated that the meal was unacceptable, and again she was totally unconcerned. I would have expected her to get the manager, but even after I told her I could not eat it, she for the third time in her attitude and body language that she did not care. Given that her lack of experience in the restaurant game, as well as life in general would tend to explain why she was the proverbial dear in the headlight, I will chalk this one up to the staff that we dealt with. I will give them another try and change my rating after that if they repair the damage that a few inexperienced people had caused. read more

No flavor, just meat plopped into a nasty corn shell with watered down fake cheese sauce. I'm not even sure the meat was real. No thanks.

My family & I come here often. The food is delicious & the service is wonderful! Your food comes out quickly & is always piping hot. Portions are perfect & your drink is never empty! Fabulous place for authentic Mexican cuisine! read more

This place isn't what it used to be. I have been eating at Mi Cocina since it originally opened. The food was excellent but the atmosphere was very basic. Restrooms was clean. Waitstaff service was great and the prices were a bargain. This was a good place to take a family for good food on a budget. Several years ago all of this changed, along w/ the ownership. They started closing on Sundays, and opened on Saturdays (religious reasons is my guess) which was a shame, because this place was popular w/ the after-services crowd. They did a total makeover inside, with archways and more 'mexi-decor'. The price went up, the quality of food and service went down..... and now I hardly ever eat here anymore, even though it 3 miles from my driveway. I have a family of 5, and it would be close to $50 for all of us. It's cheaper to drive to Concord, Albemarle, or Charlotte to get better food. read more

This place is above average and my wife and I have eaten there several times. We will again, but it would be nice if you didn't go - I hate standing in line! Service is fast. Portions are large. Parking is ample. Good place. read more

I have been eating at Mi Fuiente throughout my life and I have been very happy with their service and food. At Mi Fuiente you will be treated like family! read more

Great experience! We got in fast, the waiters were all very prompt with refilling our drinks and bringing the food to the table. As for the food it was great. It was fresh and tasted home cooked. I will be going back to this place again. read more
