    Crabcake taco, Classic Beef taco, Chicken Fajita taco

    I've been here about 4 times now. My most recent visit they acknowledged they were understaffed and they were working very fast and hard and I had no problem waiting. The visit before the queso came out so watery that it also couldn't adhere to the chips. When inquired the gentleman working seemed very offended and we were told that just means it's fresh. It wasn't like that the time before nor yesterday (it was as expected for typical queso 2/3 times). I think their portion size is good as well as flavor. I've tried bowls, quesadillas and most recently their tacos. Great for groups Live they support a cause Definitely will return

    This was a great taco spot. Different combinations to choose from. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

    Southwest rice bowl

    I saw Tacos 4 Life come across the Lunch Drop service at work and decided to give it try. SO glad I did! I ordered the Southwest Rice Bowl add chicken ($2 extra) and it was really good! The ingredients tasted really fresh and everything even down to the rice had a ton of flavor. I loved the chipotle ranch as a sauce topping. Another thing that stood out was how HUGE the portion was. I am not kidding you - I ate the bowl for lunch, dinner, and I even have leftovers for lunch today! That's three meals in 1. I docked a star because my chicken was really chewy and overcooked, bummer. But otherwise, so good! I'd definitely order again!

    Lots of food choices in the Arboretum Shopping Center https://www.yelp.com/biz/arboretum-shopping-center-charlotte?hrid=kXDS9G7QtEiB7P3mDe64gA but my Yelp app pointed me here for a takeout dinner. I was able to easily navigate their online portal to order my dinner and when I clicked the submit button, it promised it would be ready in ten minutes. A few minutes later, I arrived and parked. Stepping inside, my order was not ready until... it was. Precisely ten minutes on the dot! Bringing dinner home and unwrapping it was easy. Two soft tacos stuffed with grilled fish and topped with (a lot of) flavorful cabbage and each one had a lime wedge. Not quite easy to eat as the cabbage wanted to spill out, but delicious. Moist and a good portion of fish. For my side, I chose the Mexican creamed corn. Tasty and perhaps a little sweet, it was enjoyable. This was a good meal. Perhaps next time I'll dine in.

    Can you honestly go wrong with a taco joint? I sure don't think so, this place was awesome and the customer service was amazing. I tried the grilled shrimp Hawaiian and Korean bbq with a side of Mexican street corn. Both were delish, although next time I'll know to eat the Korean last because the spice level was a little high for me lol. The street corn was so so good. Flavorful, and creamy and I loved it is served hot. Food took no time to come out but still came out hot and fresh. I'll definitely be back.

    Huge menu with lots of great choices! You walk in and are greeted immediately by one of the cashiers waiting to take your order. Grab your cup, get your drink and then find a table. They have plenty of seating inside and out, so you can sit and enjoy your food under a canopy. They deliver your order and come to check if you need anything else.

They also serve burritos, which looked really good. I asked the staff what they recommended, and I ended up getting the al pastor taco and one of the beef tacos. I can't remember the name of the beef taco, but both were delicious. They definitely do not skimp on the onions and cilantro, so if you like fresh toppings, you'll be happy. My beef taco was just a little tough, but it was still full of flavor and very enjoyable. The ordering process is simple. You order at the front, they give you a number, and then they call you when your food is ready. There are a few tables outside and small tables inside near the kitchen. During lunch, the other side of the restaurant was closed, but I could see the hidden speakeasy style dining area. It looked really cute, and I definitely want to check it out on my next visit. The only thing to keep in mind is the parking. I went during lunchtime, and the parking lot was packed. I had to drive around a few times before I found a spot, but it was worth it. Overall, I really enjoyed El Malo. The tacos were fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I was looking for. I can definitely see this becoming my go to spot whenever I'm craving a quick taco. I'll definitely be back. :::writing If you're posting this on Yelp, I'd probably give it a 4.5 or 5 star vibe based on what you described.

I originally was going to place the order online, but they're online option said it was unavailable so I went inside and sat down at the bar. The service was OK though it seemed most people did not speak English, which is fine. It just made it kind of harder to communicate. That said the food was decent but the reason why I gave two stars was because I feel very misled on pricing. The menu showed Que Siberia tacos three for $12. Steak/Asada tacos for three dollars which brings my total to 15+ the two drinks. I thought she said it was $20.80 so I paid it with my card and gave her five dollars cash for a tip. I get to the car just to double check the transaction and she charged me 3499 on my card and took the cash. I went back inside to confront her about this advising. She completely overcharged me, and she only offered to give my six dollars tip back to me. I am now going to dispute the transaction with my bank because I was unable to resolve this issue.

Tacos El Nevado came highly recommended, so I headed over for lunch with high hopes. The restaurant was packed when I arrived around 1:30 p.m., which is usually a good sign. It appears to be a converted fast-food building with its own parking lot, outdoor patio, and a casual, family-friendly atmosphere. Despite the Charlotte heat pushing triple digits, the dining room was comfortable and bustling. Service was friendly from the start, and I was quickly seated with ice water, lemon, fresh chips, and three house-made salsas. The chips were excellent--fresh, crisp, and clearly made in-house. The standout salsa for me was the red salsa, which packed plenty of heat and flavor. There was also a tomatillo salsa and a creamy green avocado-style salsa. Both were good, although the tomatillo leaned a little too tart for my taste. The menu is extensive, with everything from seafood dishes and quesadillas to tacos and larger combination plates. As someone who loves sampling a little of everything, I was hoping for more traditional combo options, but this menu takes a different approach. I ordered the crispy taco plate with rice and beans. The presentation was attractive, with the tacos served upright in a metal rack alongside refried beans and Mexican rice. The rice and beans were both delicious and easily the highlight of the plate. Where things got mixed for me was the taco filling. I was expecting a straightforward seasoned ground beef taco, but the beef filling tasted more like a guisado-style preparation with a softer texture and a slightly tangy flavor profile. It may simply be a regional style or a misunderstanding when ordering, but it wasn't what I had anticipated. The chicken taco, however, was excellent. Tender, flavorful, and clearly made with higher-quality chicken than you typically find in a crispy taco. After trying it, I immediately wished I had ordered all chicken. While this visit didn't completely win me over, I don't think it's fair to judge a restaurant by one dish. The packed dining room, friendly service, fresh chips, excellent salsas, and strong chicken taco all suggest there's more to explore here. Next time, I'd skip the crispy beef tacos and dive into the street tacos or some of the house specialties that seem to be what many regulars were ordering. Tacos El Nevado didn't become my favorite Mexican restaurant in Charlotte on this visit, but it earned a second chance. Life is too short not to eat well, Charlotte. Keep exploring. Sometimes the next great meal is just one menu item away.

SORBET MARGARITAS! I'm obsessed. I had initially seen Que Fresca on social media, specifically for the soft serve margs. And let me tell you - they did nit disappoint.

The cheese was more burnt so the wrap had that unique flavor you get with well cooked cheese (make a grilled cheese. burn some of the excess cheese off dripping off the side , then eat it and you'll know what I mean). Before the server brought it out I could seem a couple of employees picking at one half of the burrito - which had me concerned. I assume it had some aluminum foil pieces from where the burrito was sliced in half. Sincerely hoping that was all it was. The employees seemed to be just standing around not talking to one another while there were tables that needed to be cleaned for new guests.
