This is the worst “Mexican” restaurant I have ever been to. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone. I ordered Shrimp Ceviche and it was not prepared properly, I got so sick from this food and ended up in the hospital for food poisoning. My partner ordered a side of guacamole and this had absolutely no flavor to it whatsoever neither did the 4 Salsas they serve with the chips.
Food was greasy. ..and to top it off they didnt have change to give me all my money back. .I wouldnt recommend anyone eating here..Ive had better. ..taco bell gets a higher rating then this place
Visited this place for the first time mostly because of convenience. The rating of 3.8 on Google did not exite me much. There was nobody at the welcoming booth and it took a while. The menu looks good; I ordered lunch pork chops. The egg was over fried, completely unattractive, the pork was too salty and over done. The salad and chips were good. When I finished, it took me a while to be able to pay for my lunch, I had to go to the main counter and even doing that did not expedite the process. I gave it 3 stars, barely passed. Would not visit again but it was not a too bad experience either.
They served us 4 salsas plus pico de gallo, they were flavor less. I ordered a margarita and it tasted and looked like Mountain dew with tequila. The food was bland. I would not recommend this place.
Ive been coming here for 3 years and this is the worst service Ive ever had. I initially ordered togo decided to have a drink while waiting idk if the guy Francisco was new but I was charged for chips and queso which I added at the end, my limes were sat on the cooler door, I specified my order and it was rung incorrectly! Make me not want to come back!
Dining area wasnt clean, used napkins everywhere on floor, no one bother to pick them up and clean sitting tables.
Came in for a table for 2. Following party of 6 came in after us. And they attended before us and all 6 got their food. And we’re still being told it’s coming our way. Waiting 1-2 hours and no food . Just got up and left. Horrible service.
This is the worst restaurant I ever been to it took for ever to get our food the service was terrible.Never going back to it! 😡
Ordered takeout, combo fajitas and lamb barbacoa. Fajitas were good but lamb a little dry. Only sauce received was hot, no sour cream or etc., wasnt offered any, main reason Id rather dine in.
Delicious authentic Mexican food, nice environment and karaoke.
Was a great delicious food like always
Great service, best guacamole Ive tasted thus far!!!! The patrons and staff were amazing!!!
I love the atmosphere considering im African American. I love the food but I mainly come here for the drinks and karaoke
Only two starts for take out food. Went for take out on a friday night, noise level was off the roof, like a night club. Not for children this place is like a bar cantina. The staff were not wearing their mask right nose out or no mask.
My food was horrible 😫 I will never go back there again unless I am 🥴 drunk !!! !! Smh They got my order all wrong!! put onions on my tacos and I did not ask for onions!!!! And too much cheese Yuck!!!!!!!!! 🤮 didnt refill my drink just horrible I did meet a nice Mexican guy that was real friendly but never will I ever go there again I wouldnt take my worst enemy here !!!!!!! Go to Micasitas they are much better!!!!!
I was there cup times before today and, I was completely satisfied, but this time was complete worse, tortillas and the meat was cold, actitud of the server was unhappy, I dont think I can back again.
Save your money. Mcdonalds would have been a better option after eating here.
The Carnitas there are great!
Okay meal -- ordered a quesadilla which had so much cheese I could barely find/taste the chicken.
Food is good but my beef was hard
Best carnitas on North carolina!!I really recommend it..
I love the food here
This is my Go To in Charlotte, NC for Carnitas!
Our waitress was such a sweetheart and everyone was so nice. We were the only customers. We wouldnt go back simply because we like a more lively kind of place. It must be a bad location.
Sundays kareoke its fun ...
Drinks are excellent
The customer service was very slow and the food took a long time to come out. The food did not taste good. I was very disappointed and would not recommend this restaurant. I had my family with me. We were a total of 12 and we all agree that the food was not good.
Great and they charge tips in the receipt so saves time!
Good food only thing wrong was the waitress
I just sat there for one hour. Our waitress was no where to be seen so we asked someone else. She comes back to say that they have not started cooking our food. No apology or anything else to ease the problem. Never coming back.
My experience was good, the waitress was very kind. I gave three stars becouse we need a little variety in your menu, like white rice, and pico de gallo with no chile 🤗
I think they can do better. Food wasnt so greatRestaurant was clean .peoples was friendly. But we had get someone to translate what we wanted. But that was ok.i order short ribs with salad rice. Short rib was filets.i was thinking it was thick kind. Which wasnt tasty .but nice place to have drinks at bar.relax atmosphere. And their fresh pineapple juice was delicious .
Great authentic Mexican food! Was very pleased with food and service. Would definitely go back
So good and open later than surrounding restaurants
Free chips and salsas! Huge portions for very small price. Meat is very flavorful. Prices are amazing. Staff is nice. Place is fairly large and modestly decorated. We have gone here twice already, we will be returning!
Food was horrible place was very dirty restrooms were literally nasty and looked as if it had never been cleaned!
One of my top places for tasty mexican food. very savory. service is consistently great. the bill was well within reason for the quality.
I totally recommend this restaurant. You can get a verity of foods from carnitas (grilled beef) to chicken. I recommend the carnitas they come with tasty sauces hot, mild, or non spicy sauces and fresh made tortillas. Also you can fresh made natural fruit mixtures. And service is excellent. Totally recommend to try eat here
Food is good.Dont sit near the TVs, theyre too loud. Asked them to lower the sound, they did and then someone raised it again.
My wife and I went to check them out on the recommendation of her co-worker whos husband is from Mexico. He had said it was as close to authentic true Mexican food as you can get in Charlotte. Let me just say that from the wait staff to the food everything was awesome and we will most surely be making this our place from now on! The decor is not fancy but the staff and the food well make up for it! Do not miss this spot for real deal Mexican!
I come here often, and this place is second to none in Charlotte. For the best Mexican food in town, be sure to visit Carnitas!
Im sorry but the food was not good. Overpriced but thats not the worst thing. Its just that the food does not taste good at all. Very bad seasoning
Food was good until I got the mole. It is amazing. You need to try the carnitas in mole. Fresh guacamole and gorillas made in house. Server was really nice as well. Definitely recommend.
We came here randomly after graduation with 10 folks. The service was wonderful and the food was decent. Loved the salsa varieties that came complimentary with the meals!
We went to the studio and afterwards stopped here before getting on the highway. They had a maracas band (dont think i spelled that right) great customer service and food was amazing even the day after.
Great tasting food
I know Mexican food and this is the place to go for excellent food and prices I will definitely be there again thanks
By far the worst experience I’ve ever had for Mexican in Charlotte. The food is awful, the service is even worse. I had to stand in front of the cashiers stand just to get someone’s attention. Do yourself a favor, do not even consider this place..
The food was very good. Reasonable prices and live entertainment too.
1st time in restaurant, good food, good mexican atmosphere... reviews says music/tv too loud?? what would you expect at a mexican restaurant?? sat at bar had chips/beer, waited on to go order. Good service, nice attentive waitress. My wife loved the food also. And that is what counts.
Make sure you read ALL of the reviews before you come here. Food had a nasty flavor. I will NOT be coming back. This is the WORSE Mexican food I’ve ever had.
Always good service and great food. The bathrooms could be a little cleaner, but I dont go there for their bathrooms. All in all, a decent place to eat.
Grossssss! Have some pride and clean your restaurant! If ownership doesn’t care, then your staff doesn’t either! The food is mediocre at best. Over priced for very, very cheap quality meat. The carnitas were gross. I will not be coming back!
Food was hot, service was bad. Bathrooms were filthy strong odor of unrine. I didnt get what I orderes. No English speaking wait staff
Omg, worth the time and price, I got up craving Mexican food Saturday morning, and yes....... they were open, so I got an order n was in shock that it was only 5mins from me! The food was freshly prepared n fantastic, so enjoy, will definitely come back along with my family n friends too!
Went in for lunch ignored by staff. Sat there for about 10 min and finally just walked out never will go back here again... Music was extremely loud for a empty restaurant. Hate it cause I really was trying to find a descent Mexican Restaurant on my side of town. Sadly I will keep looking.
This restaurant was very clean, friendly, and the food is very delicious...I was very satisfied with the service and food.. do recommend this place
Very satisfied, traditional dishes alongside semi-Americanized options. Great choices, portions, salsa, prices. Decor is par, but if you care about that, you should be eating at Salsaritas, not getting preggo with a bean baby like I just did.
Great service great food
This place is delicious, if you want to try real Mexican food, you should come here. Isnt tex-mex or Mexi-American. Is real Mexican flavor. carnitas, consome, chilaquiles (red are a little spicy, greens are super spicy 🌶🌶🌶🌶) sopes, tortas are my recommendation.
This place has Real home cooked Mexican food.not tex-Mex-el Salvador cheez products shot from a caulking gun into a deep friedcorn
Very good Mexican restaurant in Monroe. They have some of the best carne asada Ive tasted.
The food is super authentic and delicious!
Just came intown wanted mexican food. Great customer service, excellent food and they have karaoke
We were greeted right away and our server kept making sure everything was fine, the food was delicious and loved the salsa! Would come again with my family!
Good food, good prices, and a friendly atmosphere. My wife & I both got the fajitas for 2, & my son got the quesadilla jr. Very tasty, huge portions, and a good variety of salsas to go with your tortilla chips! We loved the pico de gallo. The reason it wasnt 5 stars was because our server left us after she gave us our to go box, and never came back. I had to walk up to the desk and ask them to give me my check. She was probably busy or on break. Other than that, it was a very nice & tasty experience.
Flavorful food, nice clean atmosphere, and friendly service.
For the much advertising they get thru LA RAZA 106.1 I didnt think it was good carne asada wasnt really grill the best thing was the salsa I think. I will not go there again. I think El Copan its more authentic.
Ordered some tacos and 1 had a huge black rock in it!! Then ordered some enchiladas for my boyfriend and it was a huge blob of tortillas,lettuce and cheese...i think the best part was the chips. When we told the waitress she just said ok and that was that.
Good service but food was disapponting. Very little cheese in my quesadilla and the chicken in it wasnt seasoned.
Negra Modelo on tap! 3 choices of salsa with your tortilla chips! Fast service! Possibly a hidden gem.
Cheap, good. Better than alot of places
Awesome place
Great service. !!!Best kareoke in town. Friday nights. Wonderful waitress
I got sick from their food DONT GO THERE. Wis I could give 0 stars
Delicious...nice portions..i ordered chicken fajitas..I went early like around 1100am so it wasnt very crowded so thats a plus.I was tempted to order a steak but i will definately try it next time..My server was very good, greeted me and brought my food very quick..Only low point is a few of the seats in booths had alittle damage, other than that service was excellent..
I went with my husband and step son. The food was horrible, they got the order wrong, then seemed to get upset at us, for their mistake! Over priced for the quality of the food. Please dont waste your time. When we left, all three of us was still hungry and really frustrated. We will not be going back!
The food here is excellent the server was friendly everyone else kinda not so much, but totally worth the 5 salsa choices, homemade tortillas, and quite setting.
We arrived at Carnitas ready to enjoy the limes and salsas before our dinner on Wednesday. My wife observed that several of the limes in the bowl were already squeezed and used. They had clearly given us a bowl of limes that they had served to another table before us. We experienced horrible rude customer service, unsanitary food conditions, and food that was old and caused severe stomach problems. Im Mexican and have come to carnitas for years but IM NEVER TAKING MY FAMILY BACK again.
The margarita was terrible.Sex and the beach tasted like SpriteThe only good was the karaoke
For some reason everytime we go here there place is dead but the food is great! Its not hidden away or anything.
Food is good and services as well
Delicious food, good service and friendly staffs
Good
Taco Loco ----Al pastor to die for. Carnitas taco delicious
Mexican food snob from Chicago. .... Carnitas has great chow and damn good prices.
Great food, great prices
Great place to eat, they have Authentic Mexican Food and they also have chimichangas and other TexMex food. The prices are very accesible and the food is great (try the specialty; Carnitas). I havent had anything that I didnt like. Staff is very friendly and helpful, they will help you if you need a recomendation or if you feel adventurous and want to explore some new food. Before you order they will bring you lots of chips and 5 to 7 varieties of salsas from mild to ay caramba!They also have a location in Mint Hill and an other one in Monroe. Live music @ luch time on Sundays.Completly recomend this place!
Definitely the best mexican restaurant in Charlotte...
