Carne asada

Smitty.. best server out there. This was our second time trying out this place. The food is 10/10 (thank you chef) and Smitty thank you for an awesome experience.

Great frozen margaritas on Saturday for $7. Food is pricey but good. Loved the dip trio. Small amount indoor but there is outdoor seating as well.

We had to post about this place. We were visiting Mathews City on our Saturday and spotted this place. It's unique and open concept with a bar in the front and sitting area on the side. It gives a hip and modern feel to the restaurant. We were greeted with a welcome in and later a stop by I believe the owner. Friendly staff and courteous waitresses. We ordered Chilaquiles and Tacos de huevo con tocino from the brunch menu. The food was delicious really. We ate that with some margaritas. They offered a four on a stacked. We loved them too. So good and easy and convenient to have a quick bite or stay a while. Thank you we will be back soon.

So let's talk about those Baja fish tacos... Listen Linda Listen! You have to try them! ...and don't forget the quac! Did I mention the mojito!! Hunni....yazzz to the food Gods!

This is one of four locations right in mist of the town of Matthews across the road from Brace YMCA and Publix. Stopped in for a bite of lunch 12:45ish. Nice quaint atmosphere. Noticed from the signage outside they have daily specials to choose from. Today's (Wednesday) specials were $5 small Nachos and $5 Mojitos. We were greeted upon entering and seated quickly since there wasn't much of a crowd. I feel seating layout could be a bit better. Some would consider the tables uncomfortable for two especially once you add food and drinks. The menu has plenty to choose from. Our waitress was soft spoken sweet and helpful. Complimentary warm chips and authentic salsa were served. Something so simple yet so tasty. Ordered Chicken Fajitas and Guajillo Chicken. The fajitas came with salad, refried beans, and Mexican rice. The star of the show was the guajillo chicken entree. Grilled chicken breast smothered in red cheese sauce topped with bacon crumbles. The sides of cheesy rice and fried plantains help showcase the dish. Everything was delicious. Washed all of this down with a couple of their Wednesday special $5 Mojitos.

We had the bartender order for us, her knowledge was outstanding!

I'm very particular as I have eaten in many taco places around the World. This is the most authentic Mexican food I have had in Charlotte! This food was so flavorful, tender steak, very good pork, the service was impeccable. This is not a large place but it sure is worth it! They have outdoor seating! I loved the refried beans! Very tasty and the rice was fluffy and fresh! Freshness, high quality and a wonderful kind owner who greeted all the tables and made sure everyone was satisfied! Bravo!

Ambience is so fun! We were seated quickly. Love the outdoor games and outside seating for a fun…read moretime with good food. They have a Taco Tuesday special for $2.99 any taco. So, we ordered one of each (easily split btw 3-4 ppl) and LOVED it!! My fav taco is the street corn taco with shrimp . Delicious sweet and savory. Our service was great the first night, but the second night it was a miss. They eventually advised us that they were in training at the moment. So, that's understandable and answered our questions and concerns. Overall, as long as they keep it very clean and food tastey, we will be back to this restaurant regularly.

Stopped by prior to the Ice Storm we were getting ready for this January and in between shopping…read more I've been here before and tried their innovative tacos... service was a bit slow as there were only one waitress in our section it would take long until she would come back and or realize I was trying to her her attention. Apart from that she was friendly and helpful. We ordered the shrimp fajita and bc my daughter loves shrimp I asked if was spicy and even the queso they only have the one w jalapenos which I love but my daughter couldn't enjoy as much bc it became too Spicy for her. The horchata was too sweet - according to my 7 year old who loves sweets, I also tried and compared to our local taco place it was very sweet, she didn't event drink it and ordered water. I had the skinny margaritas which also not my favorite the alcohol portion was on point very nice and you could taste it which I appreciate it since I was cold outside, but the flavor was missing. Overall the food is good the prices and service are all very good. Ambience is traditional Mexican skeletons decor like dis de los muertos everyday. If you haven't been here it's worth the trip to try Mexican style and imaginative American menu.

1st time customer to this jewel. I'm an old school Southern comfort food person. So, new to this…read morepart of Charlotte I look for new eateries. My waitress was bright and smiling on this early Sunday morning. I ordered my usual "test" plate I use on 1st trips to get a feel for the place. Nailed it! Fast, hot, freakin' delicious. When she set my plate down the 1st thing I notice was my biscuit was the size of grandma's "cathead" biscuits, called that because they're that big! Eggs over easy, perfect! Sausage patties large and very good, similar to Neese's if you know what I mean, and perfect! Hashbrowns, perfect! Add the constant top-off on my coffee with the aforementioned smiles, and this is a hidden jewel in Charlotte folks. And it was even cheaper than Waffle House and that is rare in this overpriced town. I will be back!

I ordered the Bananas Foster waffle with chicken tenders and whew...absolutely delicious. Sweet, warm, indulgent and exactly the kind of comfort food my spirit needed. My brother-in-love couldn't stop talking about his Bananas Foster pancakes with country ham -- though he did lobby for a slightly bigger serving of the ham. And my SO completely cleaned his plate of liver mush, grits, eggs and biscuit - he never does that. He also had a passion fruit margarita that he raved about the entire ride home. Honestly, taking care of me right now is a full-time job, so I fully support the brunch cocktail. What I loved most? Wakey Wakey isn't trying to be fancy or pretentious. It's just good people serving good food in a welcoming atmosphere -- and that's exactly what I needed!

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.
