“ Fun lively atmosphere big menu with many options. We were a party of 7 and everyone enjoyed their meals. Margaritas are great. ”
“ Love the carne asada fries - so much better than Sabor's - and the pollo ranchero which is grilled chicken, cheese, mushrooms and bacon! ”
“ My family came here for the first time a couple nights ago. We called ahead to ask about the vegan options for me. They said they would be able to make a few of their vegetarian meals vegan so we gave it a try. Their best options for me were either the veggie fajitas or the ACP vegetarian dish, both of which I'd have to take off the cheese and sour cream. I opted for the latter, and I ended up getting a side of black beans too. I was pleasantly surprised with the big dish of rice and lots of mixed vegetables I was served! We also started out with the chunky guacamole which we all really enjoyed. My family liked their dishes too, for the most part. My dad said his chalupas could've been a little crispier and my aunt said the chicken burritos were ok but the hard tacos she really liked. All in all we would return! ”
“ Was in the area doing a little retail therapy and I have been wanting to try this place. It did not disappoint! Stopped in for lunch and it was pretty busy but service and food came out fast. I didn't love the chips. They were a little stale for me but I didn't go there to her full on chips! Tried the beef chalupa-so good! I would go back for that alone! I also had the lunch ACP which was a very nice size portion. I had some left for the next day. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well as a bar. Oh and the margs are really good too. I had the peach margarita and it was very refreshing. Will def be back! ”
“ This is a family-owned Mexican restaurant and they came from Tijuana in the Baja Peninsula. The food didn't disappoint at all! Me and my son were both impressed. Btw, I don't say 'My son & I' because I'm rebellious and because it irks me. I imagine an old lady English teacher with black glasses resting on the bridge of her nose and a hunched back telling me to do it right or I will have to write it 100 times. So, this is for you Ms. Crusty! It's me and my son. :) Anyway, our waitress didn't smile once (lol) but she was on the money with any and all changes in the order, was prompt, and well, was prompt. And the rest of the staff is usually friendly. The prices are average and vibe is excellent. This place is in high demand and one of the buzziest (and busiest) restaurants in the Lake Norman area on the weekend. Oh, and they have monster margaritas and beers, but I didn't partake in those. Definitely recommended! ”
“ Sat at the bar. Fun to watch the bar action! Wonderful service. Great food. Delish Blue Sky Margarita. Will definitely visit again!! ”
“ Based on the drastic variance in the rating of this place, I guess it's safe to say either you hate it or love it. For me- I loved it. My sister opted to host a granny lunch at this restaurant and we enjoyed our time! We were immediately seated when we walked in about 5 minutes prior to our 12pm reservation. Our server came over shortly after we were seated and took out drink orders. She was very attentive and ensured everyone in our party was happy. We started out with a few appetizers. The guacamole was great! The table ordered a little of everything and no one had complaints regarding their meals. The alcoholic drinks are massive. I am not a huge drinker so I can't personally speak to the taste. Overall this is a solid spot for Mexican cuisine. ”
“ So I actually like this place. The food taste pretty authentic. I love the pastor taco on the al la carte menu, it's so flavorful. I would not recommend the steak because it's super dry. Anything on my menu is pretty good. Service is good and food comes out pretty quick. I feel like everytime I come, it's always busy no matter what. The ambiance is very fast pace, not much wiggle room as I feel like their tables are too close to one another. They do go all out for birthdays and give you dessert and let you wear the big sombrero. They share parking with other businesses so it can get pretty crowded. Definitely try the Willie taco if you want something more authentic as they serve cactus with their toppings. The drinks look amazing and delicious. I would definitely make this my top spots to go to. ”
“ Used to be Unica but that became too common and "Paul's Favorite Mexican Food Place" was somehow too limiting, so Rio 150 it is..! don't get me wrong, I'll still be eating here because, well, you know... the only thing that changed was the name; food, drinks, service and décor are the same as they ever was and I like it like that. took a seat at the bar recently and sampled the Enmoladas: plate of chicken enchiladas under mole sauce plus beans and rices and a margarita. I'm not from there and don't know from authentic but I'm still prepared to give it a muy buena! because it was :-) :-) tender saucy chickens and rich savory sauce. beans is beans, rice is rice, but it isn't about the rice and beans, it's about time to spend time with friends. leaving full-up with dinner is a bonus:-) ”
