I had been given a heads up by friends in Atlanta that I was going to love this addition to the Queen City.
Finally went on a Monday night before a NC Music Factory concert. There is a cool bar seating area when you walk in that has a cool vibe and it is pretty large. There is a huge dining room behind the bar area too. It's was busy but got a seat right away.
Went with the OG margarita which wasn't too sweet. Loved it. The chips and salsa options on the table were very good and I loved the squeeze jar of hot sauce. Couple of drops will do it. We had friends who wanted the guac so we got that and also the chorizo quest fundido. The fried chips that come with the guac are superb. Crispy but not heavy. The queso fundido was a stringy spicy bowl of goodness with the tortillas it comes with we're perfect. Of course eating your weight in chips and salsa plus apps meant I couldn't order the fajitas I saw going out constantly from the kitchen so will have to go back.
I had the tacos Al pastor which has sweet grilled pineapple and pork belly. 3 small tacos that were a perfect sized entree after all of those chips. Wife had the shrimp salad which was pretty sizeable too and she loved it. Can't wait to go back. Best Tex Mex in Charlotte no doubt. And wife lived in Austin for a time and remembers the original Chuy's.
