Must try in Gastonia. I am looking forward to going back and trying new stuff.

We went to Viva Tequis on Cinco de Mayo. It was a thirty minute wait but well worth my time. They…read morestay open later than most restaurants so they get an extra star for that. The restaurant is clean and casual with friendly and attentive staff. The food was well seasoned and delicious. My steak was a little tough and gristly but the flavor was there. Everything else was on point. No chips and salsa was offered while we waited. This was my second visit here and I will go again.

This was so so good. Had some baked chicken deliciously seasoned. Picture is double portioned as we…read morewanted leftovers. It was covered in pico but I added it to my rice and beans.

Came in for Taco Tuesday! $1 hard shell tacos on the sign but didn't quite see the $1.50 for soft shell Either way it was a hit! The tacos were juicy and moist. The flavor was amazing. They do charge $1 extra for a side of pico but they were so tasty. Queso was good but I usually add my pico to it so it was missing something. Next time I'll clarify that I was a side of pico vs on my tacos. The Jamaica was okay. A little watered down but it was the end of the day. I'll definitely be back. My son liked the rice and beans as well. This place is in my top 5 The price was inaccurate for my tacos on the receipt but the manager fixed it for me and explained. He also said they had a new menu coming and a special on Sunday that's like $10 for taco, burrito, enchilada and rice and beans I think. Speedy Gonzalez meal lol. We will be back for it.

Service friendly, place clean, food is the reason for a low score. One other table beside us so no…read moreexcuse for the long service time and no lie ice cold food. The cheese didnt melt in a deep fried chili. Pouring a warm sauce over something out of the fridge doesnt heat it up. Heres the gotcha cook you premade the food portioned in the fridge so all you have to do is sauce and serve. Ive been around food service long enough to know the games. You precook so you dont have to make it at night. Which leads to oh we didnt sell as many so we have it made for tomorrow. Thats pure lazy, your customers pay for fresh to order, left overs are for home. Your a discrase to real cooks.

I absolutely love this spot!…read more Everyone is so friendly and makes you feel welcomed. I was recommended a Mango Auga Fresca and IT.. IS... DELICIOUS! There are other flavors but I tried the mango and you definitely can tell it's made with real fruit. My normal go to as far as tacos are chicken, chorizo, and steak! Mmm! You've gotta check them out!! *chefs kiss*

I ordered the grande burrito to go. I had never been there before. I asked for an extra salsa for…read moremy burrito and was not told it would be $2 extra. I never in my life have been charged for extra salsa at a Mexican restaurant ! I got home and my burrito was good but my refried beans and rice were cold.

Very few healthy options but you can be creative and figure something out. I had a burger and with it being so loud - the grilled mushrooms and grilled onions were missed. Would that have helped maybe. No condiments on the burger whatsoever so you have to figure out to put them on yourself. It's a sloppy burger. It was an okay burger nothing to write home about. There are no onion rings during brunch French fries were crispy and delicious. Julia was a great server considering how thin she was spread. Would love to come back for the standard lunch/dinner menu.

I was worried about getting a table so I sat down and my coworker ordered. That was unnecessary. The tables flip frequently. People are not in there long and the staff gets the tables cleaned quickly. I got a Spicy Chorizo taco and a burrito. Both were excellent. I really liked the taco. But... I really liked the burrito too. :-) I will say - the place is loud when packed like it was. But, it cleared out a bit and it was not so bad. Highly recommend.

Happened to run across this food truck on a trip to the Premium Outlets. Had no intention of…read morestopping but on the way to my car, the food smelled amazing. There was no line so I ordered 2 shrimp tacos and a barbacoa burrito. Preparation was quick and food was ready in less than 10 minutes. The shrimp tacos were so good! Definitely did not expect the flavor that they packed, and I was mad that I only got two. They are very tiny street taco size, so if you're looking for a meal you would probably want 4 or more depending on your appetite. Other than being disappointed about the size of the tacos, my only feedback for the truck would be that there are no prices listed on the menu. This is a disadvantage because many people order based on not only the description of a dish but also how much it costs. It's a lot of trouble to ask for pricing on 3, 4, 5 menu items you're considering, especially if there's a line, when they could make it easy and put the prices on a sheet at the least. Other than that, I enjoyed the food and would purchase more tacos if I ever come across this truck again.

I don't know why Gastonia has so many "sit and be waited on" LatAm restaurants, and just a few…read morehumble tacquerias. I agree with other reviewers, if you're looking for a place like this, it'll meet your expectations. You can get some genuine items inexpensively and they have a modest menu that goes beyond the usual tacos and burritos. The ambiance of being in the back of a long building, with no windows, makes it feel a bit hole-in-the-wall ... but the seats and tables are tidy. If you're an anglo the staff will speak to you in English first. As a humble family kitchen, it serves it's niche here just fine.
