Last night my book club eat at La Unica to process our book (something we do every time we read a book.) One of the ladies in the group was stung by a wasp, and while talking to the manager about this, he laughed, refused to comp her for her meal, and made fun of us by stating "what are you going to do, post it on FB and stuff." Now all of this was for an $8 dollar bill. He treated us like we were trying to get over on them. He then he proceeded to follow us the parking lot to take pictures of our tags (although the tags he took pictures of were all of us who paid and tipped the waiter.) There were 5 of us in the group and all we asked is for him to comp the 1 person who was stung-not all 5 of us. I WILL NEVER GO BACK. So rude and unprofessional. I have seen restaurants comp meals for a lot less. Gheesh she was stung by a wasp and you couldnt comp an 8 dollar meal

First time at this location. Frequented the La Unica in Indian Trail and always had a great experience. Not so much at this location. Appetizer came out at the same time as the meal. Drinks came out after the meal and had to request silverware multiple times as our food sat at our table getting cold. When addressing these issues with management we were told if we needed silverware to get it ourselves and to look around, everyone gets the same service. Not sure what that means but if everyone got the same service we experienced tonight, the restaurant would NOT remain open. I hope ownership reads this review and finds better management and staff. The food was good, as always, service and customer service was below average. Maybe we picked the wrong night, it was $.99 Taco Tuesday. I hope others find this review helpful.

Decent food . They use to give 3 options for salsa with chips , now 2 which isnt bad. Chips can be greasy at times. If you order single tacos its going to be the smallest tortillas youve set your eyes on. They shouldnt be $2 After paying , I received my change back. I was short changed. The waiter didnt say anything. He walked away as quickly as they came. I called him over and began to say it wasnt that short. I told him no matter how little I should get all my change back . It was only .50 cents off a $5.04 bill. He then said that they dont have change. I spoke with the manager and he said that it wasnt true. He spoke with him about it. The manager was apologetic which is cool, but Little by little Im starting to like this place less and less.

I ordered 30 minutes in advance. I got there to pick up my food on my lunch break and they hadnt even sent the order through. I waiting about 15 minutes and finally got my food. I got back to work with the order wrong and undercooked. I called and they wouldnt even credit me for the same meal at a later date. Insisted I bring the food back but I was on my lunch break I didnt have time to bring it back. Awful experience will not go back.

Very salty food and a very disrespectful assistant manger .., my food was so salty it started to cause a headache I told her I just wanted to make her aware she says " I dont know what you want me to do .., no one else complained about it.., I said Im it was not appetizing at all she said well what else can I do for you ? I said can you bring my ticket and have a great day ! - I will never come again !! Worst place in Charlotte

Great staff and great food. We arrived about 30 minutes before closing, and even though we tried to scarf down our food the staff was very nice and kept assuring us not to rush. I got a quesadilla with chicken and beans which was delicious. Also ordered the pitcher of frozen marg which was on special, and it was great too.

Best, most authentic "street tacos" in Charlotte. The regular menu items a great too (I recommend the No Name Dinner). Pro-tip: if you like very spicy ask for the salsa verde. They usually dont bring it out unless requested. Super tasty and definitely hotter than the red salsa. Tuesday is $1 tacos by the way.

Brilliant place for tacos Tuesday. I go every week but be warned if youre sitting down at a table during the busy hours of 645 to 845... youre likely to get an order mix up or wait for a long period. They try their hardest though n despite for a bunch of mix ups I can say this place is very ideal

I was thinking why call TACO TUESDAY All tacos should be the same price even if you call in to pick up your TACOS PLUS SOME ONE SHOULD SAY SOMETHING INSTEAD OF FINDING OUT WHEN YOU GET THERE!!! It made my look stupid when I said something about it! For that they SUCK! Bad place too go eat!!

Though its not a franchise, I was expecting my food to be close to what Ive grown accustomed to from La Unica in South Blvd. The food was bland and insipid. If youre looking for authentic Mexican Cuisine, visit La Única in South Blvd, thats where the locals go.

Food was good as always, but was really shocked to find what looked like and more importantly, sounded like one of the female employees "taking matters into their own hands" in the bathroom. She was wearing black and pink tennis shoes.

I would probably only go here for taco Tuesday but the tacos are great for $1 a piece and they put a lot more toppings on them than the other taco Tuesdays in Charlotte. Also a plus that they serve free chips with really good salsa.

Good food and good service. The thing that I didnt like was the size of the Tacos. They use very small Tortillas to make the tacos and sale them for the same price other LA Unica restaurants sale the regular size tacos.

Gabriel was an amazing waiter! My wife left her glasses on the table when we left and he ran a half a block to give them back to us. He went above and beyond and we really appreciate it. Also food was great as always :)

This is a regular spot for my family for quick cheap and good Mexican food. They provide pretty authentic Mexican food throughout all of their restaurants. We frequent La Unica at least once every two weeks.

La Unica is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Charlotte !! its fast, friendly, and the food is always very tasty !! Love the way they bring out the salsa mild and hot in two separate containers.

Cute staff and the atmosphere has a sports feel to it. Food is good, but service can be slow. If you are on a time crunch, I recommend ordering your food an your check at the same time.

Food was just okay. Service was fine. A giant roach crawling on the wall near our table ruined some of my groups appetite, but I know they can pop up anywhere. Wasnt overly impressed.

Disappointed after reading about how "authentic" it was. The food was standard Mexican. Nothing special. Staff was nice. But I had really high expectations and it let me down.
