I'll cover that below - Amazing margaritas made with lime juice - Excellent prices including daily specials FOOD: - Outstanding taco options including lengua (tender), nopales, etc. - Food portions are LARGE - Plenty of vegetarian options - Fresh ingredients - Elote and Esquites No cons with this spot. Must try in Gastonia. I am looking forward to going back and trying new stuff.

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.

Was not expecting to pull up to an old Taco Bell storefront converted into this restaurant. Just heads up - inside still looks like an old Taco Bell too!!!! The service is outstanding. Our waitress was so sweet and informative. She had a smile on her face the whole time she helped us and gave honest opinions of what menu items we would like. Prices are great and the portion sizes are huge! Their menu has some traditional items you'd find on a Mexican menu but don't expect to get those run-of-the-mill options like the Speedy Gonzales special or a generic taco salad. They have their menu labeled with "fake Mexican food" to outline things you can get elsewhere. I was so excited to see shrimp stuffed avocado on the menu and it was divine! So much food and so much flavor. Margaritas were also delicious. Parking is easy and you have to let the aesthetics go. This place is worth visiting and i can't wait to go back and try some more items.

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.

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.

Love the atmosphere here. We started off with the pretzel appetizer with beer cheese. Huge pretzel! Also, delicious. There were a few items on the menu they were out of. I think it was about 3 or so sides not available, but having never been before we understand after a probably busy Saturday night, they would run out of some popular sides. Not an issue. Maybe keep this in mind if you visit on a Sunday. We tried the chicken sandwich with cheese curds(a good sub for the tots), the Cuban, Tacos ( had the pork and chicken) and a Philly shroom sandwich. All terrific. My son loved his Philly with the grit cake side. He said it was the tastiest mushroom sandwich he has had. This place has a lot of amazing beers offered and people were taking advantage of the beer menu. We didn't try the beer, but we were glad we tried the food here. After lunch, we had a lot of energy for walking downtown. Hoping to taste some of the sides they were out of next time.

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.

The steak container was nearly empty, and the employee had to scrape and scrape the bottom to put together what looked like half a scoop of dried-out steak. I politely said, "Sorry, that doesn't look like a full scoop. I can wait for more." Her response was, "If you want more, it's a double." So instead of getting a proper serving, I was basically told to pay an extra $7 for the amount that should have been served in the first place. I declined, paid about $13, and walked away with a bowl that looked sad enough that I took a photo. For a new location, this was a terrible first impression. Poor portioning, dried-out food, and rude service. I won't be coming back to this location.

Chex Grill & Wings

In the pursuit of excellence, one must often look past the surface to find the substance. At…read moreChex's, the surface is undeniably polished. The establishment boasts an aesthetically chic interior, anchored by "marble" tables that, while regrettably small, contribute to an atmosphere of modern cleanliness. This commitment to hygiene is not merely a feeling; it is a matter of public record, as evidenced by their impeccable 100.0 sanitation rating. However, a critic knows that a clean house does not always guarantee a feast. The kitchen was manned by a skeleton crew of only two workers, while a third handled the front register--a staffing reality that telegraphed an inevitable wait from the moment of entry. While waiting, my gaze was frequently drawn to the refrigerator behind the counter, where large, tempting slices of red velvet cake stood like alluring sirens. The meal itself was a study in contradictions. The fries were a standout: fried to a structural crisp and dusted with a unique seasoning that provided a sophisticated "tang". Unfortunately, the Mozzarella Sticks failed to reach such heights... $7.99 for six, they were decidedly mediocre and hardly worth the price point, accompanied by a measly two-ounce cup of marinara sauce. The true tragedy, however, lay in the wings. While the portion sizes were undeniably generous, boasting an impressive amount of flats, the sauce was a disappointment. As the visual evidence confirms, the sauce lacked emulsification, leaving the wing to languish in a pool of separated oil. This scarcity extended to the condiments: I was provided only a single two-ounce cup of ranch to split between seven wings, a mountain of fries, and six pieces of celery. The Verdict: Chex's Grill & Wings is a place of diligent effort: I observed the front-counter worker spending their downtime meticulously tidying the lobby. Yet, for all its cleanliness and five large-screen distractions, the culinary execution remains inconsistent. It is a masterclass in visual presentation, but it requires more depth in the sauce and a bit more generosity in the portioning of its sauces. Rating: 3/5 Stars
