Review Hot Taco - Charlotte

Helen Hamrick
We are from Lincolnton, but was in Charlotte to visit family. We googled Mexican restaurants and Hot Taco popped up. We were skeptical because of the rating, but decided to give it a try anyway. I'm so glad that we did! The food was amazing and the portions were huge. We both ate until we couldn't eat anymore and still had enough to take home for another meal. Our server greeted us within seconds of us sitting down. He never let our drinks get empty and he checked on us quite a few times without smothering us. So, if you decide to give this place a try, ask for Dallas. I was very impressed with his service and that says a lot for myself since I have been a waitress for over 4 years. I will definitely make a trip back!

The service was remarkable! The ambiance captures you immediately; I can't even begin to explain the feeling. It's sort of a eclectic twist on nacho libre decor and reminds me of Soho in NY random gorgeous lights adorning the space ..our seating area had beautiful faux snakeskin and the seating diagonally across from us had beautiful mulit colored lights. If you are a hot sauce lover such as my boyfriend and myself well you're in heaven as they have a hot sauce section which I would like to call a hot sauce bar. They offer many great deals. We got the carnitas taco and the carne asada which was awesome and we got the deal for the day( Monday) half price margarita which I would recommend the skinny margarita; the amazing beautiful waitress suggested the skinny and she was right. I wish I could remember her name but she was awesome. I would definitely take time to visit this place ..great pricing ( 2 decent size tacos with rice and beans $10 bucks) they offer $2 taco Tuesday! And $2 margaritas. I would def swing by and be prepared for awesome Mexican food with their own flare and twist. Great place! North Carolina each bite at a time is slowly making me feel like this is home for me😌 and this place was apart of that.

We went here on a Friday night at around 10pm. Restaurant wasnt super busy. Service was prompt and great. Server and manager were really nice and helpful. Food was outstanding. 2 dollar tacos after 11pm, try the beef and pork tacos! Salsa provided with chips was pretty good, not too spicy. 3 dollar coronas and some creative margarita choices make this place an easy recommendation for me. Also the Tequila selection is immense.

Still a litte covid affected..short staff...and wait time of 35 minutes. The chicken burrito with queso was definitely good. Also had a passion fruit margarita which was tasty. But one of my friends food was obsolete..they forgot her order and didn't give utensils unless they were asked for. But overall I give them 4 stars and will visit again once covid has subsided.

Taco Tuesday is legit people! $2 tacos. ordered five tacos two of the steak one chicken one vegetarian and one of the shrimp Buffalo side of beans and rice.(not from the can made from scratch). I ordered a bloody Mary and a Corona which were not on the happy hour drink specials came out to $28 for everything, dinner for two,which is pretty freaking good. The ambiance was great the quantities of meat and each taco were good. great place to go out to eat this particular night I was on a double date and it was perfect place to go. My only complaint is that the flour tortillas were like those fake ones and nowhere in Mexican culture do you put iceberg lettuce and blended shredded cheese or any cheese on a authentic Mexican taco! But it's Charlotte North Carolina not east LA lol. All in all great for the price great for drinks great for a night out.

Cute place, generally get great food service. Ordered out tacos today and unfortunately they were super soggy and we less than a 3 minute walk so I can't blame it on the travel time to home. It's unfortunate but I wouldn't give them to bad of a rating considering my other experiences here have always been good.

The buffalo shrimp tacos are life! The beef tacos tasted different than how they normally taste. Not sure what they do differently but looks like they changed the menu.

I have visited Hot Taco every taco tuesday for the past three months. A best bang for your buck for tacos, margaritas and beer you simply can't refuse. A vast improvement in service and wait time once you've sat down at a table this past month. Last week we waited a total of 5 minutes for tacos to come out after ordering - they beat our drinks! Very impressive.

Food was amazing and Anna gave my daughter an exceptional dining experience. We will definitely be coming back here when I am in Charlotte.

$2 taco/margarita/draft cerveza tuesday! Both the asada and baja fish taco tasted excellent! The only problem was the temperature of the meat in both of them. They were only lukewarm. Did not take long for the order to arrive. Margaritas were excellent as were the complimentary chips! Chips came to the table warm.

I try to go to Hot Taco on Tuesdays every time I'm visiting Charlotte. The staff is friendly, the food delicious & the drinks are good too.

Really delicious and generous portions. Chimichanga was amazing and covered in lots of cheese to dip chips into. Salsa had the slightest cilantro flavor but not over the top. Good for cilantro shy people like me. Can’t wait to go back!

We had a wait for a table but the panthers game had finished an hour before we got there. Our food was really good and they had a lot of options on the menu. Our order was accurate and was prepared quickly. Our waitress was friendly and came by to check on us and get us refills.

Great Food!!! Our waitress JESSSICA was the greatest!!!! Initially the hostess at the door had a non inviting demeanor so we were ready to leave and go next door to The All American Pub but we have it a try and again, JESSICA our waitress was just FABULOUS!!! We will return, especially for JESSICA!!!
