| - Good food and great service! My husband and I ate at Hot Taco on a Friday night and took advantage of the $3 Corona/Lt. special. Our server was very thoughtful. As soon as we sat down and gave her our drink orders, she informed us that she had a large party getting ready to order. We were able to order our food at the same time as our drinks, avoiding a potentially long wait.
The queso and salsa were delicious. My husband got the Fajita-rrito, which was okay - the steak was tough. I had three tacos: baja fish (blackened), orange shrimp, and el pollo. The blackened baja fish and orange shrimp were really good. The chicken was a bit bland, but nothing a little salsa & queso didn't fix. The tacos were paired with a generous amount of rice and beans, which is always appreciated. Overall we had great experience and we'll be back.

This is an updated review from 11/2016 and I'm so bummed to update... this used to be our go-to taco joint in Charlotte. The orange shrimp and Korean beef were two of our favorites! Tonight we went to have our usual and found out that they changed their menu. Both tacos were omitted, and you can no longer mix and match tacos with the meal. Our server, Lauren, was great and informed me that you can order your tacos a la carte with one side and the cost is roughly the same (however only includes one side instead of two).
After we received our food we have to say the quality of food is very different from what we used to love about this spot. The tacos had very little meat. The fish lacked flavor and the ground beef was extremely salty. I communicated my unhappiness with Lauren and spoke with a manager, who ended up comping my food. I was very appreciative of the kind gesture but also disappointed in our experience. We were told a phase two of the menu will be available soon... until then I don't think we'll be back. Again service was awesome but the food is not what it used to be.
