    Pan de Bonos
    Kaivona P.

    Absolutely loved my experience here. It's a beautiful space and these live vocalists made us want to sit way past our meal was over I wasn't a fan of the Pan De Bonos. My friend liked it. To me it tasted like sponge bread with Greek yogurt (the sauce it comes with) wasn't pleasant to me. We asked for another garlic type of sauce and they brought the sauce that comes with pork belly and that was great (it was a tomato garlic, green sauce) That sauce was so good . I had it with steak and eggs. Honestly preferred that over the chimichurri. My steak and eggs were absolutely fantastic. I added maduros and avocado . And it was so worth it. The dish seemed incomplete with just the potatoes and eggs. My friends had the Calentado Criollo and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Overall, I would come back. Service was very pleasant. My friends said that this spot is preferred for brunch and not dinner . Either way Sunday Brunch for the win.

    Craving Latin fusion that's so good you'll want to come back for more? This spot is a must-try. I went back for a second time just to confirm my first impression, and they are consistently fantastic. Service is outstanding! They're not afraid to get creative, like letting you choose between Argentinean or Guatemalan rum for their incredible mojitos. For the ultimate experience, ask for Ricky; he's the drink and food whisperer who will guide you to all the best menu items. And if you're celebrating a birthday, be ready to feel like a celebrity. As a special touch, photographer Dina captures a great shot of your group and gives you a framed photo--a perfect keepsake from a memorable night. You'll definitely want to come back for another round.

    Steak & eggs
    Chasity A.

    I visited Muraya really excited to try the pistachio pancakes, but I was disappointed to learn they don't come with any side proteins and even when I asked to purchase a side, it wasn't an option unless it was a shareable plate. Because of that, I ended up switching to the burger with a fried egg added. It was just okay, nothing memorable. My sister ordered the steak and eggs medium-well, but her steak unfortunately came out well-done. On the upside, the cookie butter iced coffee was actually very tasty. Another thing to note: there is no parking, and the lot across the street was $18, which definitely wasn't ideal just to enjoy brunch. What truly made the experience better was our waiter, Gianna. She was exceptionally attentive, detailed, and patient when explaining each dish. Her service was the highlight of our visit and really showed what great hospitality should look like. Overall, mixed feelings about the food and parking situation, but the service thanks to Gianna was excellent.

    We really enjoyed the overall dining experience. The food was fresh and tasty. Our waitress was very attentive and she made sure our overall experience was pleasant. The brunch menu had just enough options so it wasn't overwhelming. Also the band was incredible! The only downside was the hostess experience. The young lady acting as hostess was not very communicative. She took my name and really didn't give clear instructions or expectations and walked away. I had to return to the desk to get clarification from the gentleman that was working. Considering it was very busy and people were everywhere, clarity is extremely important. Fortunately this did not put a damper on the whole experience. I look forward to exploring the dinner options!

    NYE menu - Salmon dish
    Ebony P.

    Beautiful space, staff are extremely pleasant and very friendly. Went on NYE, so there's a special NYE menu. I ordered the salmon dish and it comes with a charred corn velouté and a sweet corn tomalito. Personally, I'm not a fan of the tomalito but that's mainly because I don't like cornbread or cornbread things. Everything was great! From being able to make a reservation online, to the friendly staff at the host stand when you arrive, to the excellent server that we had, to the additional weight staff that came by to check on us... Would definitely return!

    Sushi
    Tatiana H.

    We went with a large group of about 8 people so we ordered darn near everything on the menu. New York strip steak, rice and beans, plantains, sushi, red snapper , two bottles of wine, cocktails, shrimp, empanadas, a brownie, and a pistachio cake. Everyone enjoyed our meal, our server: Ricky, was great, and the drinks were tasty. I appreciated that they had a high chair for my baby with a table attached. Most restaurants have high chairs that don't have a table attached. We had a great time. They do have a 20% automatic gratuity for large parties and parking is pretty rough in this part of town so you'll want to take an Uber or public transit.

    I can't wait to come back here again! We had such a wonderful experience. From the moment we walked in it was amazing. We went to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday and had such a great time. I would definitely recommend not only making a reservation but going earlier because in the evening it fills up quick once the music starts. I loved how everyone including the manager dropped by to check on us. I wasn't a fan of the salmon taquitos only because I was hoping some parts would be warm and it's mainly a cold dish. On top of that all the sauces was just a bit of an overload for me. However everything else was sooooo good especially the Barranquillero and Pulpo Cartagenero. At first I was hesitant with giving feedback on the salmon taquitos when the manager dropped by, but I appreciated how understanding he was and his openness to how to improve on certain dishes. We can't wait to come back and try more soon!

    The live music was great and the drinks were good. Unfortunately, the food is stale and bland. I ordered this shrimp dish attached and was very disappointed. My entire table was disappointed with their meals. Our waiter randomly offered us around a shots at a discount and we accepted, but when the ticket came, he charged all of us full price. When one of my guests told him that we were charged full price, he got extremely defensive and said he did not. Maybe he thought we were intoxicated and didn't remember? We felt scammed, we were never planning on ordering more alcohol until he offered it at a discount.

    Pandebono
    Krissy W.

    Came here on Valentine's Day and can't wait to come back on a non holiday. Everything was amazing! Feedback from me & my Colombian husband: we wouldn't hate seeing some dishes without the fusion or upscale tick in every aspect. I'd prefer the small plates to be a smaller portion and cheaper - so we could order more and try more things, but the portion sizes were larger & therefore the cost not making that feasible. Empanadas were okay and just too big. What we loved: I lovedddd the pork chop, my drink was like a dull experience of cool different taste mixtures with every sip, and the pandebono always hits.

    I've been trying to get to Muraya for a long time and it finally happened! If I could give it 10 stars, I would! This place is a gem! The staff is amazing, attentive and gives great recommendations! The food was phenomenal - seasoned and cooked to perfection! The drinks were crafted with superb artistry by their mixologists! And calling this was done in an environment that was top notch! There was a variety of patrons - date night, dining with friends, celebrations... it was an all around great experience and I cannot wait to go back!

    Empanadas
    Neema B.

    First time at Muraya and I loved it! The restaurant was full on a Saturday night and they had a live band which was awesome. The ambiance was great but it was noisy inside. Didn't bother me, but may not be the greatest place to have lengthy conversations if you don't feel like yelling. I loved the food and drinks. I ordered the short rib as my entree, which was amazing! I mean so tender and flavorful I'd order it again in a heartbeat! I also tasted the empanada, sushi and Branzino - all very good! I also enjoyed the mapaya, it was so flavorful. If you're considering a visit, do it!

    Emily R.

    The food here is amazing! The dishes we got were seafood based and it tasted fresh! We got two cocktails too that were very tasty! Perfect spot for a date night or girls night out

    Tommy V.

    Definitely recommend checking this place out for brunch! The food is very esthetic. They place a focus on plating, which I really appreciate coming for a brunch/lunch service. The food is filling! It was everything I wanted in a Sunday brunch meal, and it will lead you a nice Sunday afternoon nap. I recommend ordering different things off the menu and splitting it so you have the chance to try everything! Service was great. Very friendly.

    Our daughter lives in Charlotte, and this was the very first place she took us after picking us up…read morefrom the airport, one of her favorite spots in town. After one meal here, we understood why. Calle Sol has a cool laid back vibe, great service, strong mojitos, and food that absolutely delivers. The ceviche is the star for a reason. Super fresh with bright flavor, and the crispy plantains alongside it were the perfect seafood fish combo. The skinny spicy margarita with the tajín rim and mojitos were excellent too. Our favorite was the Cuban rice. Rich flavor with this aioli on top that made everyone at the table keep stealing bites from each other. The vaca frita (beef) had great flavor with crispy edges done right, and the banana tres leches dessert was flat out dangerous. Easily enough for three people unless your family has zero self control. We don't really have Cuban food like this back home, so this felt like a treat. Safe to say our daughter picked a winner. We'll definitely be back next trip to Charlotte.

    When we are craving Peruvian food, Calle Sol always comes top of mind, with their combination of…read morehuge portions, excellent prices, and attentive service. We love their Yuquitas de Queso as an appetizer. The yucca is very crispy, with delicious melted cheese inside. The green sauce they serve it with is exceptional, and we use it with our entrees, too. Sadly, this dish wasn't available on our last visit, so we switched it up and tried their black bean soup and half avocado stuffed with chicken. Both were delicious, so I'm glad we had an opportunity to branch out a bit. For our entrees, we typically get the Vaca Frita and Lechon Asado. Both meats are always tender, flavorful, and NOT overly salty (yay!). The Vaca Frita is particularly good, with crispy beef served on top of caramelized onions. The lime flavor is amazing in this dish. The rice and beans are perfect accompaniments to both dishes. Their portions are generous, and we usually take some of our meals home. We've always had great service at Calle Sol. We never have to wait long for our food, either. I like how the servers work to help each other out when busy! A note about parking--there are only a few spots directly in front of the restaurant, so you'll be lucky to get one of them. There's a public parking lot just down the street on Thomas (across from Dish), and street parking throughout Plaza Midwood. We often park on the street near Harris Teeter and Supperland, a quick walk to Calle Sol. Just give yourself extra time to find a parking spot if you arrive during busier dining hours. Well can't wait to return!
