    Chorizo taco
    George D.

    A coworker brought me to this place. We arrived in the middle of lunch hour and it was packed. Parking was tough but I got lucky with a spot out front. There is also parking around back. 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.

    Delish!!!

    Delicious! Great Service! Ambiance very chill! ! I was visiting from Cali and had a taste for some tacos and saw this spot on the way to the Premier Outlet so my sister & cousin stopped in and do glad we did! Wish they had a Tacos 4 Life in Los Angeles!! Try the nacho fries!!!

    Large Queso

    Visiting from out of town and wanted some yummy tacos. We live in S Florida, so maybe we are just spoiled. First, the price on the kids meal is great! It's a small portion but great price. Kids got quesadilla but weren't impressed. We got a large queso and immediately noticed only a few of our chips were seasoned. We asked for more seasoning, she said okay, never returned. Queso is tasty. No corn tortillas besides crunchy and "steamed" as I was told. Cashier couldn't muster up the energy to tell me what "steamed" meant. Chicken is soupy and bland. Sorry, I love the mission but not a repeat for us.

    Tacos for dinner? Yes, please. With more than a dozen different options for tacos, including wild varieties like Korean BBQ, Fajita Chicken, Seared Tofu and Crispy Eggplant, and burritos and salads and nachos, it can be a little bit tough to choose. In the end, I narrowed it down and had the Chipotle Steak and Chicken Bacon Ranch tacos. Order and pay at the counter, fill your drink at the Coke fountain, and your food is brought to the table. The restaurant was super clean and since I was here for a bit, it was nice to see the tables being cleaned properly after each guest. They have a "combo" that includes a side and a drink, otherwise the tacos and sides are a la carte. [Round number 1700 in Charlotte NC! Review 1465 of 2024 - 3660 in North Carolina - 22488 overall]

    Crab cake taco and Korean steak taco. Both delicious.
    Jane S.

    We've been many times now. Never had a bad meal. My favs are the Korean beef taco and the crab cake taco. The side salad with warm black beans is so delicious. The staff is always friendly and it's always very clean inside. The only complaint is that the queso has seemed very thin the last few visits. Thin to the extent that is has very little flavor. Not sure we will continue to order it.

    The tacos, service, and ambiance were all great! You walk in, order the food, and find a place to sit. They then bring your food to the table. Our food arrived hot and fresh! The portions were very hardy. My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach. I got the Crab Cake, Hawaiian Fish, and Firecracker Shrimp Tacos with the Pesto Rice. The Pesto Rice was not seasoned enough but the tacos are amazing! My favorite was the crab cake taco! We also ordered the cheese dip and chips! The chips came to the table fresh and hot! I just wish the cheese dip was thicker, it was a little watery. My son got the Chicken Quesadillas and Pesto Rice, but ended up exchanging the rice for fries! All in all, a very good dining experience. I wish they had one in Atlanta. I'd be a regular, if they did. The seating and parking were plentiful! If you love tacos like I love tacos, then put this restaurant on your list!

    Amazing! The food, the location, the staff, it all fits together into a wonderful place to eat. It's right off the interstate, beside the Simon outlet mall outside of Charlotte. After a long day of shopping (or right before to fuel up), this place hits the spot. The food is sit down restaurant worthy without the price tag. Super good and super fast. There's choices for everyone and who doesn't love tacos?! They even advertise their great charity work. What's not to like?

    You can't go wrong with tacos! This place is spacious and very clean and warm inside. Staff were friendly, and welcoming....a breath of fresh air. The menu is simple and they have unique items like their fried chicken burrito. I had their chicken bacon ranch quesadilla and it was bomb!!! I enjoyed every bite. I had queso rice and it was bland.

    Please note that you pay per taco here, it can get kinda expensive if you are a person who needs 3 and 4 tacos with your meal, lol! Or if you were like me, you wanted to try a variety of tacos. However, they were extremely tasty! I went home and tried to recreate my own tacos like these and failed, lololol! I think they have a nice little humanitarian story, something to do with feeding the homeless or feeding children, and that made me feel good blowing a small bag on tacos. Service was fast and friendly. I went later in the evening and the pretty much had the entire place to myself. The ambiance is nice. Stylish enough for you food influencers but comfortable enough to relax and eat.

    2 tacos and side salad.
    Julie P.

    Honestly, really impressed with this place! The tacos were delicious, the service was awesome (and quick) and my kids ate everything! That's a win all around in my book! There are TONS, I repeat tons, of taco options, so I love the fact that I can do a mix and match 2 taco combo. It lets me get a little variety of the menu. I also highly recommend the side salad - that's filling enough to be a meal on its own! Casual spot, and has solid food. We will certainly be

    Love the tacos!! Very fresh and tasty. The staff are all very polite and friendly. The restaurant is clean and well kept by the staff. These are the best tacos I've had in Charlotte and I would definitely go back regularly!!

My husband really enjoyed his burrito so I tried that my next time. I've been ordering their California Burrito ever since! It's not a saucy burrito so I have to ask for the Jalapeno Cilantro sauce.

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.

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.

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.
