Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Bakersfield - Charlotte offers a lively atmosphere with standout "best tacos and margaritas" and "amazing experience as always." While the brisket queso and shrimp tacos receive praise, some dishes like rice and beans could improve. Service is generally attentive, though occasional wait times and seating issues are noted. Ideal for dates, friends, and vibrant dining.

    Their guac and queso is so fresh! My only note is that they only serve tacos and there’s not many other options besides that. Still was a great experience overall!

    The brisket queso was delicious and the shrimp tacos. The sauce was bland with little flavor. Along with the chicken tacos. The empanadas tasted like spinach artichoke dip in a pastry shell. The rice and bean were disgusting, they were not refried beans just cooked pinto beans that were watery. Definitely expected more flavor from a Mexican restaurant.

    Great dining experience on a date night. Enjoyed the positive vibes. We had to wait only a few minutes to get a table, despite having reservation, since it was packed so totally understand. Mouth-watering cocktails and flavorful and reasonable- size meals. Had to park a couple blocks away at a Harris Teeter parking lot but had no trouble. Does not seem very kid-friendly - depends how u wanna raise your children! LOL… Will certainly return for more fun with friends and family! Keep rocking y’all!! … may see you tonight! 👊🏻😜

    I made reservations at 445pm for Cinco de Mayo and once I arrived there were 3 tables in the booth area unoccupied. When the hostess sat me and my party down I asked could we sit until the both area. The white male at the hostess table who was greeting and setting up table quickly interrupted and said.. we are booked with reservations. I stated to him that I made reservations as well and this area doesn’t seem reserved for any parties. I felt as though the gentle didn’t want us to sit in that area at all. During my time there I noticed after 1/12 those tables were being filled in which I thought was very odd! Try to accommodate all your guests next time.

    Hi Tomaka! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I understand how it could be frustrating not to have the option to choose your seating. While we do our best to accommodate seating preferences on most days, May 5th is one of our busiest days of the year. To ensure smooth and timely service, we plan our table arrangements in advance, which unfortunately makes last-minute changes difficult. Please know that our goal is always to provide the best possible experience for our guests, and we truly appreciate your understanding.

    Had a reservation for 8 got sat back in a nice little private corner near the window. The window was open so you could hear/see everything going on directly outside which wasn’t bad. The weather was nice so it felt like sitting outdoors without actually being outside. The service was good in the beginning, we had some trouble getting refills throughout the evening but otherwise they were very attentive. The food was excellent, there was a nice variety to choose from, but everyone at our table ended up getting the Meal for 2 and you got so much food with it! Overall great experience. Would love to come back!

    Thank you so much for the kind review, Madeline! We look forward to welcoming you back soon for future gatherings!
