Had a taste for a good margarita with some guacamole and chips so decided to give Taqueria Chuyita a try based on the good reviews. We were greeted warmly and seated quickly upon entering. Parking can get tricky on the typical busy eat out days due to location in a small retail strip. The restaurant seems small but with a decent amount of seating. Complimentary chips and salsa were provided; salsa has a bit of a kick to it but in a good way. Ordered a small guacamole and let me tell you it was the best guac I've had in years, so fresh and flavorful. I got a small order to go. Ordered the Enchiladas Rancheras, Quesabirria tacos, and one Asada(steak) taco for entrees. Enchiladas lack flavor seasoning and the meat was dry. Birria was decent, a more authentic Mexican flare but could use a bit more seasoning. Asada taco was a no go for me. Not sure what type of steak is used but it was cubed and overcooked. Didn't really taste like steak to me. Ordered a strawberry and house frozen margarita. Both were icee (not smooth)and watered down. No flavor and definitely no alcohol in sight. read more

Goodness, we enjoyed our lunch. The lunch portion was delicious and large. Staff were very friendly as well. Don't let the outside of business or location deter you. read more

Authentic Mexican good prices excellent food love the atmosphere. It's not much to look at really, but it's authentic both the workers and the food and that's all I really need when I eat Mexican. PS they have good Menudo, which I really love and that's why I'll be coming back again and again and again. read more

My Dad taught me from my youth to judge a restaurant first by the number of vehicles in their parking lot and not by the appearance of the building. Well, this place is hopping and for all the right reasons. After finding a place to park, we were greeted by warm and smiling people, seated promptly, and enthusiastically waited on. Great selections, reasonable prices, and fantastic service. What's not to like? Oh, yea, the food is great, too! We've tried various entrees and cannot name a winner. Their Chicken Mole--I mean holy mole--is fantastic. Then I tried their Chori-Pollo, a dish with seared chicken and chorizo sausage. I'm dancing around the table as happy music is played overhead. So. Damn. Good. Monroe has a plethora of Mexican restaurants, of which a few are good. I think this little family-owned place, however, takes the prize. Has my "Give 'em a Whirl" meter twirling in circles to the Mexican Hat Dance. No brainier. Go here. read more

This place is so good! Doesn't look like much from the outside, but the food was great! Service was also excellent and food came out super fast. Can't wait to go back. Loved the mixed ceviche and one of the best lengua tacos I've had read more

We've been here a couple of times. I would rate it 3.5 instead. The food is athentic and quite good. Actually reminds of me of Puerta Vallarta! Service is excellent. Our last visit, however, was disappointing. The bean dip was mostly cheese (few beans) and the steak in the steak fajitas were terribly overcooked. We ended up not finishing nor taking it home. We also had a California taco which did not disappoint. We would still come back, but you can't overcook thinkly slice steak! read more

This place is a gem. From the service when we arrived to the food everything is great! I love the family atmosphere and the extra hot sauces they offered me with my meal. Hope to come back!! read more

The best enchiladas I have had in quite some time. I had the Enchiladas Rancheras. The red sauce it comes with was so delicious. Has a very Tex-mex taste. Highly recommend this place. The reviews are not a fluke. read more

Stopped by while returning our UHaul. Saw the 4.8 ratings and hoped we finally found a Mexican restaurant in NC worth eating at. We were very happy. The combinations plates were great. Full of flavor and reminded us of Mexican from Texas. Will definitely stop again. read more

Another awesome dining experience on the patio at Chuyita's. :) Had the flautas again, but this time with their savory barbacoa, or tender shredded roast beef that melts in your mouth. Plus their charros beans, beats refried any day! You can get the flautas low carb with sliced cukes if you ask for a few bucks extra. Save those calories for the sangria. :) read more

This is the VERY BEST MEXICAN FOOD I have had since moving to the South from Southern CA! Chili Rellenos are amazing! Pico de gallo is the best I've EVER had! Oh and their flour tortillas are made here and are fabulous! read more

Hands down best Mexican food we had in years! Everything was so delicious! We're from CA and missed good tacos so bad and they exceeded expectations! We were a party of 8- 3 adults 5 kids and they were so nice and accommodating. Waitress was great and got our order correct as well. read more

Great food Great service I got the chuytua dinner , wife got shrimp dinner daughter got tacos All great! read more

Everyone got something different and every meal,was great - staff was great, wonderful meal experience!,! It was worth the. 30 min drive read more

The reviews definitely don't lie. The food here was more authentic than most, and very flavorful at a reasonable price. I ordered the burrito Taxi. It was large enough for two meals and definitely priced right. I can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu. Very good experience. read more

Excellent all around experience. Service was fast and friendly. Food was outstanding! Cheese dip was great. Quesadillas and rice were excellent! Well worth the visit. Will be back next time we're in town. read more

The food and service are excellent. A La Parrilla platter with steak, shrimp and chicken is the best I've had.

Hands down BEST Mexican restaurant I've EVER had since living in Charlotte. Their Birria and Menudo is my addiction here. Drinks are great and their margaritas do not give me acid reflux. You can taste the authenticity and passion they put into their food and drinks. Michelada was the most flavorful and keeps me coming back every week. They have 5 stars for a reason and the staffs are always nice . read more

This place is exceptional, and a real gem. You have to try it. I wish we could keep it to ourselves. The food is delicious and the whole staff is super nice with amazing customer service. We always order takeout and they have so many delicious options. The pork tamales actually come wet with sauce/cheese on them and they were delicious. The agua frescas and many other items are all homemade from scratch. The dine-in experience seemed to be very nice as well, with many customers choosing to eat there instead. We will definitely be back soon. We are from California and it's been challenging to find authentic Mexican food like the taquerias back home. This place definitely delivers. read more

I pretty much wish I could keep this to myself, which is why I hadn't written a review lauding over this little gem! Been coming here for a while now and I come for two things, scratch that, three things -- mole and carnitas and the house made tortillas! This place is tiny and has maybe 12 tables the waitstaff are excellent! The pricing has gone up twice in the short time I've been coming but they are still very reasonable. I will try their weekend menudo but it's hard for me to not order my favorites! Ordered take out twice which is very popular here but I feel like the portions are a bit smaller. Still I love this place and highly recommend. Don't let the exterior deter you! read more

This place is amazing! Absolutely the best Mexican food in Monroe is right here. If you like spice, be sure to say yes to the spicy salsa. My wife buys a quart every time she goes to Tennessee to visit her mom. It's the best really hot salsa I've had at a restaurant. The service is great. The staff is all very friendly and happy to help with special requests. The ambience is family friendly, cozy. It's a pretty small space, although they have recently expanded to add more dining area. It's definitely worth the time and effort to get here and try this place. It's our favorite. read more

Very good, when you get the right servers. If you get the wrong server, expect a pretty unpleasant experience of miscommunication and inconsistency in your order. I absolutely love this place when they are firing on all cylinders. They need to desperately work on training and consistency in regards to assisting their non-Hispanic customers that can't communicate with some of the servers. When things go well, the food is 5 stars, when they don't it's a 2 star experience. Very cute/clean restaurant in an unassuming tiny strip mall. read more

The food is amazing! Hand made tortillas and always fresh. They green guacamole sauce is bomb! Service is always fast and super friendly. It's a small spot but worth the wait. I remember they began with a food truck and now they have their small restaurant. Definitely recommend the tacos! read more

We love this taqueria! The food is absolutely amazing. The staff and owners are so wonderful! They are also great to us when we use them for catering staff lunches. There is always so much food left over! read more

Absolutely delicious food & the Service is very welcoming! Recently moved here from California and have tried food from their prior food truck, which was the bomb! So glad they have this eat in restaurant now. This is now my place for the best Mexican food! read more

The food is always really good in comparison to its surrounding similar restaurants. The staff is friendly every time and present the food in a timely manner. A lot of people come and go but it's never overcrowded. It's pretty chill overall. read more

Absolutely delish!! Husband had the different tacos options but the arne asada was his favorite, they are fire! I had 2 tostada's (vegetarian) with nice crispy shell. Husband said he would come without me if I didn't like it but I loved it, so we will definitely be coming back, soon. Salsas we're good, pico was nice large size with lime and Horchata was perfect (large sized too). Service was great and super friendly. They are open 7 days a week! even though Google and some others online says they are closed. Ps. They have several vegetarian options too (beans are vegetarian tooi!). 4 stars only because we would like to try more items before we give 5. read more

Literally the best mexican food I have ever had!! Coming from someone who has been to Mexico a few times, this is just as good.

Food was fabulous! Best I've had around Monroe, and almost as good as one other place I only recommend that's in CLT. I love that they have fresh Hugo's to choose from. The service was great! The folks in there seemed very appreciative of people's business given inside and enjoying their food. This will be my go to in Monroe. The only thing that would've made it bump up to 5 stars was a wider selection of other classic dishes- I.e. Mole Poblano, multiple selections of tamales and other selections. But that will not stop me from enjoying this establishment every time. read more
