Three Amigos

Hands-down one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever had. Even the rice and refried beans were seasoned--not salted to the hilt, but seasoned and delicious. I'm kicking myself for living on the East side for so long and not trying this place sooner. And the portions are generous with leftovers enough for 1-2 additional meals, even after overeating!

I've been wanting to stop by and check this place out since I moved to Charlotte and they did not disappoint! It is a smaller space, so seating is limited BUT any wait would be worth it. The food is AMAZING, large plates and very reasonably priced. Service was great and food came out fast! I had the chicken chimichanga but there are a LOT of other things on their menu that I want to try. I will be coming back here for sure!

Three Amigos is a small spot in a strip mall on Central. It draws crowds from all over Charlotte and offers more traditional Latin-Mexican dishes compared to sister restaurants Sabor and La Caseta. Margaritas are strong and they have a bevy of flavors both blended and OTR. The menu has tacos, tortas, fajitas and traditional Latin entrees. We’ve tried at least half the menu and our favorites are the enchiladas, tacos and chimichanga. The mole enchiladas had a surpringly deep roasted, rich flavor. It’s what I get most of the time. The Al Pastor tacos are a hit with us as well as carnitas, carne asada and shrimp. Service is good. Food comes out fast. Lunch can be more busy than dinner but you can still get in and out quickly. Parking is available in the strip mall lot but spots can hard to find when it’s busy. You can park in the surrounding area on streets/neighborhood. TA is a good spot for Mex if you’re around Central.

I have been going to Three Amigos since day one. It is a little hole in the wall, the servers were learning English and the same one's that waited on me then are running restaurants for the company! Of course, without risk of sounding like an elderly person, margaritas were $5!! But that was also thirteen years ago. Times change. Now the days of cheap drinks are gone but the food remains delicious and they squeeze fresh limes for all their cocktails. My favorite dishes are a plain quesadilla and the enchiladas verde, they also have delicious tacos de birria. These are the best in Charlotte. They have specials every day. Wednesday is half off tequila blanco shots, Friday is a margarita special day, not sure what the other days are. You see what my interest are!
