We were pleasantly surprised to see a new restaurant in Charlotte, especially one that we frequent…read morein the Lansing area. This restaurant has a welcoming ambience and plenty of nice, comfortable seating. My only complaint was that it was very chilly inside. We visited on a perfectly sunny day, so my husband and I were wearing shorts and t-shirts. The A/C was too cold, and the vent blew directly into our booth, so our food didn't stay warm very long. We ate hurriedly to get back into the warm sun. Perhaps we should have asked for outdoor seating, which looked inviting as well. This location is definitely nicer than the Lansing location, but the food was not as good. We had the lunch specials -- Burrito Acapulco and Lunch Fajitas. We will try something different next time as they were just okay.

This place is the real deal! The Carna Asada tastes like it was right off a charcoal grill. Yum!…read moreThe birria tacos were unlike any other place. The broth had a wonderful thickness and so much flavor. I almost wanted to drink it straight out of the bowl. The burritos were filled and delicious. They had an elote cart featured tonight. It was out of this world! One of the waite staff was so very kind. The restaurant itself may look a bit dated or worn but trust me the food totally makes up for it. Run don't walk to eat at this place!

The end, decor matches the authenticity of the cuisine, music was at an appropriate level. CLEANLINESS: CUSTOMER SPACES (lobby, seating): Appeared clean BATHROOMS: Did not use SERVICE AREAS (kitchen, behind counters): Did not see. STAFF: SERVER: Younger male. Very nice, was attentive, pleasant. HOST/HOSTESS: She was very friendly. OTHER (manager, buser, bartender): Did not have any other interactions. SERVICE: Service was good, server was very nice with any questions we had. *** What we didn't appreciate was when it was time to pay the bill, the server brings out the handheld payment tool (like a lot of restaurants use now), server holds the tool so my husband can see and stares at the tool, watching my husband choose what tip amount etc. It automatically defaults to a 20% tip and then increases from there for tip choices!! We felt very pressured and awkward with this. We like to take our time and figure out how much we want to leave based on service not feel "pushed" into choosing one of the pre chosen percentage amounts (especially if they default to a minimum of 20%)!!! The server needs to leave the tool at the table walk away or stand farther back so the customer can privately pay. FOOD &/or BEVERAGE: Birria Taco Dinner TASTE: tacos were very good, flavors of the meat was amazing and that dipping sauce was so good! Beans and rice were basic (nothing different than other places). SIZE: average PRICE: $15.99 Chimichanga TASTE: chicken meat was very flavorful, overall was a very delicious chimichanga. SIZE: average PRICE: $16.99 Basic Burrito TASTE: ground meat was very flavorful, asked for only meat and cheese (normally comes with beans and rice inside) and it had a small amount of beans inside :(. Overall was a delicious basic burrito. Note that this burrito is served dry not wet. SIZE: average PRICE: $9.99 Burrito Chaparrito TASTE: shredded beef was very flavorful, asked for little beans but seemed like the normal amount, also has rice topped with cheese (this is not a wet burrito). Overall was a very good BUT this is the same as the basic burrito except you get cheese on top of this one (which costs you an extra $8.00!!), if my husband would have known that, he would have just done the basic burrito too! SIZE: average PRICE: $17.99 OVERALL THOUGHTS: Paid $80 for our family of four. Food is very good. Staff were very kind. Didn't appreciate the check paying experience (full explanation under service). WOULD I RETURN? Possibly, but we would not make a special trip.

The "service" is just when ordering and when you get your food but the guy is so nice when ordering. Gives me a feeling of humbleness. The ambiance is a parking lot and your car. You could bring lawn chairs and sit outside as there is plenty of room around the truck after you get your food. The tacos were delicious with plenty of flavor and the meats were juicy and tender. The toppings were fresh and plentiful. The corn tortillas were soft and tender. The breakfast burrito was so delicious and super filling. You are not going to be disappointed.
