This place is fabulous. Don't underestimate it it because it's next to a Food Lion, Dairy Queen, Bojangles and a Subway. This place is fantastic and so inexpensive.
Coming from California, we've been disappointed with many "Mexican" places here in the Lake Norman area, but La Unica is the best we've found in the Metro Charlotte area. Even better, it's affordable and they have great specials every night on either food or drinks.
The chips and salsa are fresh and tasty, the queso is to die for, the guac is killer and don't even get me started on the shredded beef tacos (no yellow cheddar here... freshly shredded queso and fresh-made crispy shells... yum!). Highly recommend the Flautas dinner, the chimichangas, the burrito combos and my husband raves about the carnitas.
Well done, La Unica!
