I put new meaning to the phrase anchor baby. I get authentic Mexican cooking and a lot of it whenever I want it.

My Mexican restaurant golden rule: Bypass the chips, get a strong Margarita, and order loaded nachos.

Those taco trucks. If you find a small Mexican grocery store they usually have an authentic kitchen in there. I couldn't find a good one so I married a Mexican woman.

same here.

I should have stated Mexican restaurant that gets seen by local health inspectors.

I used to go to one restaurant, attached to a joyeria, which was a cover for making fake green cards in the back.

To go along with this topic I always try to stop anyone from ordering one of those blooming onions as an appetizer at a steak house. If someone orders one, I may as well not order a steak cause I won't finish it and I rarely order more than an 8oz. steak.

Every freaking time I go to a Mexican restaurant, I get southwestern US food, with cheddar cheese added.

Are there any authentic Mexican restaurants in or around charlotte?

You can find some authentic items at this place. The entire staff is Mexican and it is where Mexicans eat.

 

Of course they make their money selling chimichangas smothered with cheese but they all do really.

Was there Tuesday night.  Love it, and will love it even more when it moves to the old Cheeseburger place.

 

 

 

 

The guisado will light your balloon knot up in a heartbeat but it's good eating.

Don't know about Charlotte, but Wilmington has a few really good Mexican/Tex Mex places.

 

Tower 7 on Wrightsville Beach

 

Las Olas near Mayfaire

 

Both are delish, fresh, and always have hotties in there.

Born & raised in SoCal, move to NC and this is what you call "Mexican food?"

I miss real Mexican food.

That's why I typically order one or two chicken tacos no sides.

I always order the extra hot salsa with my chips. That way I don't eat too many chips but I get a semi free colon cleanse from all the heat. And I only eat Mexican on Friday night, because sometimes, 12 hours to cleanse just isn't enough, especially if you eat a whole freaking bowl of habanero salsa.

True story. That's where my in laws go.

My stomach can handle anything. Mexican, Thai, nothing bothers me. Except this one time....

Down in Acapulco about 10 years ago. I was at this small place near the CiCi water park called El Cabrito. It was a nice open air restaurant. I ordered the pollo asado (grilled chicken). When it arrived, it was only a drumstick, but that thing had to come from either an ostrich or a pteradactyl. It was definitely no chicken drumstick. It looked like something Fred Flintstone would eat. That should have been my warning.

That was the only time in my life that my stomach couldn't handle what I fed it. Constant liquid squirts for like a week.

Whitey don't know. People think Chipotle is Mexican food.
