Editorial Review for Taqueria Mexico – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Televisions are tuned to Univision and the clientele is heavily Latino at this affordable Mexican restaurant where service is quick and tables turn over fast. Prices are the real highlight--even the most ravenous eater can fill up for $10 or less. Office workers from as far as uptown lunch on crispy taquitos, soft tacos and plump flautas. Seafood fans go for the super-spicy camarones a la diabla (shrimp of the devil).

Moved to Charlotte 4 months ago from Atlanta and have been STRUGGLING to find some good mexican. After reading the good reviews here, my wife and I decided to venture over. I don't understand the positive reviews unless these people have never had good mexican before. The chicken on my quesadilla was extremely poor quality, very dark in color, chewy, and fatty. The salsa seemed to be made with tomato paste, onions, cilantro and nothing else. Completely inedible. The hot sauce that is brought to the table. Can't put my finger on it but it taste strange. Tostada and taco were bland and ingredients seemed to be poor quality (steak was fatty and chewy). The cheese dip with chorizo was good I must say. I hate saying this since I don't like going to chain restaurants, but On the Border may be the best mexican I've had in Charlotte. Maybe there are better local mexican restaurants out there but I'm sick of wasting meals on some of this crud.
Pros: Cheese Dip w/ Chorizo
Cons: Food isn't very good.

Some of the best Mexican I've had, especially in Charlotte. Tiny, hole in the wall place, but excellent food, and the prices can't be beat. I had a taco and burrito, both of which among the best I've ever had, and my total was just over $5. Can't beat that, especially considering how large the burrito was--I could only eat half of it. Try the pork adobada (spicy marinated pork) or the chorizo--both were superb.
Pros: Excellent food, excellent prices.
Cons: Somewhat hard to find, hole in the wall. But that can be a good thing...
