Is it authentic? No? Is it good, meh. Average. Maybe I am spoiled from other places but I was very underwhelmed. The prices were not equivalent to what I expected. I went on a Thursday. I mean Mexican and $5 margaritas is particularly enticing.
Atmosphere: I loved the industrial decor and set up which is very appropriate and suits its location in uptown Charlotte. I did love the artwork that they chose to place over the bar. The crowd was eclectic and diverse in age which makes it comfortable. Apparel should be casual.
Food: Two highlights. The chips and pork tacos. They were thick and delicious and outshined my entree. I also, order the queso. It was good and I quite enjoyed the kick. As for entrees, we ordered two. I had the mixed protein taco selection; lengua, steak, and pork. Hands down the coca cola carnitas was the superior of the three! It was delicious. The lengua was not the most flavorful and overcooked. We also order the adobo shrimp fajita. It was fair. I expected a little more heat. But it was served with rice, beans, guac, and salad so a solid amount of food vs the tacos which had no accompaniment.
Margarita: Ok.
