Our waiter, JC, was phenomenal!!! My fiance and myself had never been to the restaurant and he gave great food and drink recommendations! We tried the margaritas and two different types of tacos. 10/10 would recommend him as the waiter and 10/10 would recommend checking this place out on your night in CLT

Five of us had dinner here for my parents anniversary. Started with a Coquito that was on their drink menu, this tasted like the one I had back in Puerto Rico, very authentic. We had the Paella and the Asada experience, both were delicious. Paella had fresh ingredients well seasoned and the Asada steaks were tender and cooked perfectly. I would highly recommend for any special occasion.

Angelines was a great Christmas dinner for my family of four. The entire staff from the valet to the server made us all feel welcome. We started with whipped ricotta. It was delicious! Don’t sleep on the chopped salad, very tasty. It was hard to choose an entrée because each one looked amazing.
