| - Tacos El Nevado will likely be one of the more borderline Authentic Mexican places you find around Charlotte, the vibe is very kitschy and mostly everything on the walls and playing on the tvs will not be in English, so don't expect chain store tex-mex. If authentic isn't your thing, know the food, the prices, as well as the portions make up for anything that may get lost in those departments.
A few things to note:
* We read in another review that they gave you 3 kinds of salsa, but then charged you for chips. We did not have this happen to us, but admittedly, we got one round of chips and didn't get offered more, but we also weren't charged for them. You do get 3 kinds of salsa.
* The language barrier (could) be mildly problematic. My wife asked if she could have charro beans rather than refried, and there was no way the waitress was going to understand the concept of 'substitution'. After a few rounds of trying to explain, we just gave up and got the refried. Although she did come back and ask if we wanted a small portion or charro beans on the side, so that was nice. Also upon walking in we asked if we could sit at a corner booth, and we were simply told "no." We later noticed it was because someone was sitting there, but either way, it seemed abrupt. But again, after the person left, we were asked if we wanted to move there. So, even though that barrier was tough to breach, the employees were still very helpful, although a bit distant at times.
* The waitress (likely) won't take your credit card up after dropping your check off at the table - you go up and pay at the window. For a new visitor, you may sit there for a long time wondering why your bill hasn't moved, this is why.
* The portions are very large for the price. I got a fajita beef burrito (huge), with a side of charro beans and my wife for the beef fajitas, plus chips and salsa, along with an extra steak that just randomly showed up at the table. (We didn't pay anything for it and we were told it was just 'extra'...we still don't know if that came due to a language barrier or the fact that my wife's fajitas seemed a bit scarce on the steak) either way a nice bonus. The total bill for an entire table of food was a bit over $22, and there was another full meal of leftovers. If we went back, we would get tacos, at $2 each you could try a lot for very little.
Overall, I would recommend trying it out, the language barrier is there, but shouldn't be a deterrent, and possibly getting something a bit more out of your comfort zone if you want a more full experience. You'll likely be more satisfied with an authentic tripe or carnitas street taco here than you will be getting a more common option like a cheese quesadilla.
