| - The best mexican food in the Charlotte area now in a new location. If you're reading any of the old location reviews, you're probably finding most dinged La Unica for location size and ambiance. That's fixed now with their new upscale standalone building. The new location has 3 times the seating, and includes a full service bar as well, and the drinks are even better than before. (Looking forward to them adding outdoor seating as I see there is space for it)
Food remains the same as do many of the people taking care of you. Which is to say, it's great.
Tacos remain a favorite here - the authentic tacos that is. Very good carnitas and pastor. Fajitas are top notch, good cuts of meat, great flavor enhanced with a few supplied limes squeezed on, no oil or grease. Really - none.
Vegetables are cooked just right, not grilled to death and not to crisp. These are my favorite fajitas anywhere in the country and they are always consistent - I eat them a couple times a month and have for the past few years.
Salsas are great as well. Lots of flavor and plenty of kick. There are two tomato based salsas that these guys bring out for everyone but my favorites are those that you have to ask for - get the green stuff.
Now let's look at the prices... A great value, and inline with if not below what you'd see at any run of the mill Mexican restaurant. Except this is not run of the mill, it's excellent. Mercedes Benz for the price of a Kia.
All in all -
1 star for consistency
2 stars great food
1 star great people
1 star a great drink
If I could go over five stars here I would. Keep up the great work for your customers, I love your restaurant.
