Another hidden gem! Where is Taqueria La Unica been all my life!!
My husband suggested we come here for lunch, I'll be honest I wasn't thrilled at first. Taqueria La Unica is located in the dingy parking lot of The Clarion Hotel at Carowinds and The Best Western.
The inside of Taqueria La Unica is bright and vibrant. A few tables were occupied around Noon. We received complimentary Queso, Spicy guacamole sauce and salsa! So delish! I can't believe we received all three! Winning! The floors and tables are SUPER clean! Our waitress was great! She recommended quite a few options to us.
My first order of business, Margarita's!!!!! $7 bucks by the way!!! YASSS Please! The menu offers a great selection of tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas and much more. My husband and I decided to order tacos. I had four tacos....with no shame! Two Carne Asada's and two Al Pastors. The Al Pastors were my favorite! I LOVE Pork! The smokey flavor was life changing! The Carne Asada's were okay, the steak was a little dry. Each taco was perfectly crafted on a homemade corn tortilla shell. Topped with onions and fresh cilantro. My husband orders three tacos, two Carnita's and one Tripita (AKA Chitterlings). HA! He only ate half of the Tripita.
Overall we had a great experience, I definitely look forward to coming here again soon!
