The sauces were fresh, the fillings were plentiful, and the presentation far surpassed what we expected from this tiny hole on the wall.

I love that I can get a snack or a meal and either way I never leave hungry and the food is outstanding! Piper wasn't feeling adventurous so she went with ham & cheese and cheeseburger empandas. Katy got the chicken and potato and Italian calzone empandas. I decided to get a seafood for my wife which is her favorite and a Cuban. I forgot to take photos of the empandas when we got back before they were devoured! I highly recommend GoGo to anyone who likes crunchy pastries with an assortment of flavors at a great price that is in Matthews.

The service is always stellar despite a small language barrier, the people always talk to you and are even considerate of my small Spanish speaking ability. And the restaurant has a truly Colombian feel, small and intimate very similar to the restaurants I frequent in Barranquilla and Santa Marta. Truly thankful I found this place and look forward to eating here again very soon.

I've encountered & eaten from this food truck twice - once at Armored Cow Brewing and again months…read morelater at Veronet Vineyards. These folks may not give you forks, but they know what they're doing! Service has always been friendly and helpful, despite how busy the line can get. The cubanos are amazing - I've gotten the original and also the BBQuban. The OG is super solid, but OMG that BBQ one is just delectable and a great texture. Trust me. Try it. They also have the best yucca fries I've probably ever had. My issue with most yucca fries is that the texture tends to be pretty tough, but these are so soft inside - like they mashed the yucca first and then formed the fries. I don't know what magic they use, but they're incredible, and you must get some. We also got a churro filled with dulce de leche, and it came out nice and hot with lots of cinnamon sugar coating. I didn't love the dulce de leche filling for some reason - maybe I got spoiled by spending time in Argentina - so next time I'll likely go for the regular churro.

I also got the elote loco. I really wanted a traditional elote but the lady said elote loco and I replied yes, and so that's how that went. Not even 10 min later my food was out. They give complimentary chips & salsa. The elote loco was ok. Not usually something I would order but wasn't bad. I ate it all. Worth ordering twice if you're a fan of the red stuff. My burrito was a decent size. Short and fat. Rolled terribly. All of the guac and little bit of sour cream was on one side of the burrio and the other end had the chicken and rice. There was a thin amount of beans. The chicken was hella dry. Like it has been cooked a day before and reheated in a microwave. The flavor was lacking. The chips and salsa. The chips were warmed, but the salsa was giving crushed tomatoes with garlic. It was more of a tomato than a salsa. Personally, I wouldn't come back but they do have other dishes and so maybe I just ordered something that isn't one of their bests. My total was around $26. A bit steep for such mid food.

Sometimes you walk into a Cuban spot and you're just hoping it feels like abuela's kitchen... and…read moreAzucar Cuban Restaurant gets pretty close. Started off with the sopa de pollo, and yeah... that's the kind of soup that doesn't just warm you up--it resets your whole mood. Rich, comforting, and tasted like it's been simmering with purpose all day. Then came the masa de puerco... crispy, juicy, and seasoned the way it should be. No shortcuts, no playing around--just straight-up authentic flavor. You can tell they respect the roots here. The vibe? Clean, welcoming, no frills--just letting the food do the talking. Now... full transparency--I'm very picky with Cuban food. When you grow up on homemade, you carry that standard forever. And let's be real... nothing--and I mean nothing--touches my mom's cooking. But Azucar? They earned their respect. Solid spot when you need that Cuban fix in this area.

I ordered a couple variations of Mojitos and they were outstanding! The waitress also told me that they have a sangria special and a wine special day. I have spent quite a bit of time in the Tampa area, which has a very large Cuban population so I am very familiar with Cuban food and the way it's supposed to be. Well, let me tell you, this place doesn't disappoint! I haven't had Picadio in years so I ordered that and it was delicious! Their Ropa Vieja is very authentic as well. What's really amazing is that they have a lunch menu that they serve until 3 PM. The prices are great especially for lunch! The atmosphere feels authentic with giant murals, old photos and a huge Cuban Flag painted on looks to be driftwood. The place also has an authentic Cabana feel to it. Overall, I consider this the best Cuban restaurant in the entire Charlotte Metro Area! Cheers!

Stopped in discovered they opened about a month ago. Ordered a sampler of empanadas: chicken, beef, and ham/cheese for under $10 to go. Everything was prepared as I waited in their little dining room that has a few tables and some high tops along two counters facing outside. Quaint. Charming. A little cramped. I loved it. The menu is a mixture of traditional American breakfast and lunch plus Mexican dishes like tostados, salchipapas, asada, choripan, and empanadas to name a few. I can see where they might build a quick takeout business. My empanadas were delicious. Looking to give a new business a try without breaking the bank.
