Reviews for LA UNICA - Bar & Grill in Charlotte, NC

Haven\'t actually eaten at this location but I have been here for latin night for dancing on Thursday and it\'s a blast. The... line to get in actually moved quickly, service for the bar was a little bit slow but they were trying to keep up between whatlooked like only 2-3 bartenders. Everyone was very nice music was good. Read more

Service was slow and servers attitude was bad.\nCheese dip was cold and salsa were good. Calamari was ok.

Ordered casa amigos margarita, which was perfect. Not too sweet or too strong. Balanced drink. The chips & salsa was good. Loved... the spicy one. Also got the flautas which was good too. Service was pretty good. Waiter had energy. It was mostly empty when weentered then more people came in. They even played Afrobeats music for a little bit. Took me by surprise. Read more

Went for Cinco de Mayo thinking it would be a great time to try this new restaurant. Even invited some friends to try it with... me. Arrived right after work hours so 5pm and it was not packed at all. Just a couple tables inside and outside. Dj was playingnice music. The rest of my friends didn?t arrive until 545pm.\n\nWaitress was slow to getting our drinks. Even just for a shotof tequila it took 20min. My friend order their special margarita flight and couldn?t tell which flavor was which. Also thewaitress didn?t bother telling her which one was which. I ordered a passion fruit margarita which took 30min to come out. Washappy they gave me a complimentary house margarita for my wait but still. Once again the restaurant was not packed.\n\nWeordered our food at 620pm and guess what time our food arrived at our table?750pm. Over an hour and a half wait on food.Thankfully it was hot but I end up sending my Cheese Steak Burrito back because it was not what I expected. It was just aburrito filled with steak and cheese drizzled on top. All my friends liked their food. But prior til bring the food, no onechecked on us, gave us a status in our order, refilled our drinks, or even for the LONG wait gave us more complimentary chipsand salsa.\n\nWe had to demand for our check because we just knew that whole process would of took forever. Went to the hoststand to get our checks and the they over charged and charged us for the wrong items. The margarita was 13.99 and she wanted tocharge me 15.99 when the drink menu was right in front of her. Didn?t take off my food I sent back and charged my friend thewrong food item. This whole restaurant needs to do better if they are going to stay around. As we were walking out I informedeveryone in line it was not worth the wait because they same amount of time you waiting in this line is the same amount of timeyou going to receive your drinks and food separately so do the math!

Ordered arroz con pollo and hardly had any rice on the plate had more onion than rice. The veggie fajitas didn?t come out... sizzling like most places and again mostly onion, asked for no sour cream on the salad and they put sour cream. The guacmex diphad a terrible after taste to it. The service wasn?t so great, they didn?t check up we had to get the servers attention for arefill of water after he seen us out of water. Not satisfied better club than restaurant it get lit as a club Read more

Awful. There were only three tables with people when we arrived a little after 1pm, but the service was the slowest we\'ve... experienced in a long time.\n\nThe server was very nice, but there seemed to be a communication disconnect, as it took a fewtimes to understand what we were asking for. None the less I did feel like he cared and was making a genuine effort.\n\nWeordered two flights of margaritas and regretted it with the first sip. There were five supposed flavors, but I couldn\'t tellyou what flavor they were; they all tasted the same, they were just different colors. They definitely didn\'t have much if anytequila in them; they tasted like melted popsicle, but with the acidic burn you get from drinking Sunny D.\n\nWe ordered ourfood, which was actually reasonably priced, even inexpensive, but then waited over an hour to get the wrong the food. The foodthat was correct wasn\'t good, as it was bland and barely warm. No drink refills, no follow up, nothing until they cleared ourempty glasses and partially eaten food. Then we waited another fifteen plus minutes for the check. None of us felt greatafterwards.\n\nThe decor was interesting in a good way and the bathrooms were clean, but it was humid and overly warm for beingindoors.\n\nIf given the chance, we would never go back.

Was going here with my mom to eat before going to The Underground, sad to say that this is the blandest Mexican food we\'ve ever... eaten. Only the Horchata tastes ok. On top of that, as someone with sound sensitivity, the music was very loud. I and my mom hadto almost yell to hear each other. Read more

Really great place to eat and enjoy good drinks. All of our food was very good. The restaurant had a good vibe if you want to... let loose and throw back a few drinks while eating great Mexican food. We went pre-concert and will definitely return.Especially before a concert. Read more
