Mexican chain huge in NYC, now in uptown charlotte. Has a great big city vibe to the place. Lots of space and great music and very traditional menu. Tacos, burritos, enchiladas and margaritas!
Our server was really good and filled every request we had without missing a beat.
We made reservations for a Saturday night and got prime spot outside in the patio which also is a great people watching spot.
They had a nice varied drink menu. Wine, beer, cocktails and margaritas.
On our table we had the mezcal Paloma, grilled grapefruit, guava coco blossom, and a Dos Equis. All cocktails were really good and fresh, I just didn't notice anything grilled about the grapefruit in mine! The guava coco was a definite favorite! I liked the Paloma too.
The chips and salsa was good too, for some bizarre reason they put chicken stock in their salsa and that was an issue as well had a vegetarian with us, Mexican food is usually great choice for vegetarians so didn't really understand the stock in salsa which was weird.
For non veggies the salsa is still good ! Tasty.
On the table we had several dishes.
I had the Dos enchiladas, with chicken, half was salsa verde and the other half mole, so a little sweet. The chicken was good and the sauces were good but I'd have preferred all verde ! I loved their rice and refried black beans, really good and tasty.
The burrito we got for our vegetarian without any protein. Stuffed with rice, beans, veggies and cheese, with a little salad. This was the only disappointment as it was kinda dry as she couldn't use the salsa and the pico was not really saucy more chunky , we ended up getting some queso for her to pour on top . Was better then.
The shrimp enchilada suiza was also really nice and had great flavor and plenty of shrimp. Great sauce.
The Oxacan shrimp quesadilla was good but again kinda dry. So with some salsa tasted better. All dishes served up a huge amount of food and we all enjoyed the experience there.
Just suggest they have a vegetarian salsa for the future as they will have a lot of vegetarian diners.
The place was busy and the staff seemed to flow well, food comes out in good time.
It will definitely stay busy in this part of town ! Good vibe !
