A solid choice for Mexican in the Lake Norman area. The food is a mix of typical mexican fair both authentic and tex mex. The business is family owned and I find a great deal of care and love goes into how they serve their customers.
The quality, consistency, and flavor of every meal is very good after dozens of visits. Something not typical to most mexican restaurants.
You'll find the ambiance is not upscale but not bad. Small strip mall exterior and interior. Great place to enjoy a meal in a casual no frills family friendly atmosphere.
My favorite dishes on the menu are authetic tacos, and fajitas. Great quality ingredients and well flavored.
The salsas offered are very good and homemade as well - make sure you get the salsa verde (green stuff) if they won't bring it out by default and you appreciate heat!
Drinks are good. I'm picky about my margaritas and the tequila that goes in them. The team here never disappoints.
Finally, service is excellent on a consistent basis. Nice people that truly love their customers.
Give La Unica a try. It's one of my favorite mexican restaurants in the country.
