| - Calling all people who came from Texas, New Mexico or Arizona! I have a major announcement. When someone asks you "where can I go to get good Tex Mex in Charlotte?", you will no longer have to tell them to "go to the airport...where you can catch the next flight out to the South/Southwest". Instead, you can drive on over to Superica to get your fix. Let's discuss...
First off, the dishes have a slightly modern flare to them, but the authentic flavors are there. I happened to enjoy the smoky salsa, while my boyfriend enjoyed the mild avocado based salsa. They keep a stash behind the bar, so if you have a long wait, just ask for a basket and they will give it to you for free. Next we got the Tampaquena and the Picadilla enchilada. The entree comes with unlimited rice/beans. Rice flavors were very authentic. I had to try the puffy queso taco. Totally not a traditional Tex-Mex dish, but it looked so funny that I had to try it. Corn masa was made from scratch and on point. Queso was super yummy.
Second, the place is huge and the decor certainly has a southwest feel to it. Pictures and deer/horse sculls make you feel like you're in one big Georgia O'Keeffe painting, just more updated.
Third, don't skip the drinks. They have a nice selection to choose from, and right now, their huge back patio is just for overflow waiting. Until they get the back area organized for table service, grab some drinks and chips and relax with some friends while you wait for your table.
The real test of success or failure will be on their fajitas and Carne Guisada. I'm excited and skeptical all at the same time, and I'll absolutely be back to give it try!
