I braved 77N traffic into Huntersville to try this restaurant. Admittedly, I'm not the biggest fan of Mexican food, but I had a desire to eat some paella, after not having any for a few years. Verde is spacious and bright. The server was friendly and accommodating, tweaking a few things on the menu to my friend's specifications. I had the calamari as an appetizer. It was delicious and the accompanying sauce was the perfect taste to go along with it. I was almost done with the calamari, then the seafood paella came out. It was not just a ton of rice with a small amount of seafood, it had a great amount. I was very pleased with my choice and I will return to try a few more dishes on their menu.
