Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

This place was absolutely wonderful. I had a lunch special, fajitas that had chicken and chorizo. Everything was delicious and at $6.25 was a fantastic price. That price included a soda. I would recommend all of my friends to go here everytime they are in Charlotte. I will be back. Can't wait to visit this place again. :) The customer service was great as well, smiling and polite and brought my food out quickly.

This place is one of my top three Mexican restaurants in all of Charlotte. Everything taste authentic. The salsa taste incredible! I swear I think they make it by hand in the back. They offer all different types of meat. Just an excellent place to eat. Plus, a lunch menu for $5.75! I can usually have an entree, appetizer and drink (non alcohol) for under $12! The staff is incredibly friendly too! Try it!! You'll love it!

The food was good, the service was ok, but the band was HORRIBLE! They came by our table and started singing which we thought was cute. They ended up staying by our table and although we thought it was a little weird we thought they were being romantic. After 6-7 songs we stopped them. Once we stopped them they charged us $120!!! We thought it was a joke but they were serious. They said that they charge for each song. We never once requested a song and we never once were told that they charge. We were so upset and they would not let us go. Finally we have them what we had which was about $80. However we will never ever be back here. I'm pretty sure they were doing the same thing to other tables. I mean what type of restaurant would allow such a thing? Needless to say that because of this i would not return.

If you know anyone that speaks Spanish, invite them to come with you. The staff maybe spoke a few words of conversational English..I'm certainly not complaining, just want to give others fair warning. Despite the language barrier, I would definitely return. The prices are incredibly reasonable, especially the lunch specials. The food is authentic, and comes out pretty quickly.

Really good mexican restaurant. Their lunch and dinner specials are awesome (sometimes you have to ask for the specials menu). Great food, awesome service, unbelievable prices, very family friendly. Additional tip: start out with the guacamole; it's as good as it gets. Also try the free bean soup they offer as an appetizer.

If you're looking for more than what the usual Mexican chain restaurant has to offer, then N. Tryon is loaded with some fine choices. Fonda las Cazuelas is one of the better ones. Some of what they do is the best on the Tryon strip; some aspects are lacking. Here's the breakdown. Best Chips on Tryon. I always say I'm going to order soup instead of the chips, but damn these chips are evil & I can't resist their temptation. Light, crispy, always hot with just the right amount of salt. They don't last long... Salsa's are ok; not as good as some of the other places but still much better than what you will get at a chain. Love the taco's here; the meat is great. I usually get the steak asada, barbacoa, and the pork skin. Each item is cooked perfectly; great char on the asada, the barbacoa is slow cooked & tender, and the pork skin has a nice soft texture to contrast with the other taco's. The down side is that they are served rather plainly with a minimum of onion & cilantro. Sometimes I don't mind the meat pure and unadulterated, but really enjoy adding toppings that they don't have here. Another minor downside is the presentation of the taco's. They are delivered to the table wrapped in foil; two taco's in each foil packet. Then they are placed in a basket. A little more pizazz in the arrangement would be nice, but I don't find it a deal breaker. Not everything is served in baskets; all of the other items are served on huge platters with the usual beans & rice. Portions are large enough to feed a couple of hungry great danes, prices are ridiculously cheap, check it out if you are in the area!

My wife and I are from southern California, so we need our Mexican food fix on a regular basis. Fonda is very authentic, not to mention extremely tasty. I had the 3 gorditas with lengua, al pastor and barbacoa, i also ordered an asada taco on the side (this was my test, the taco tells all when it comes to authenticity). The asada was fantastic and their tortillas are made fresh and taste delicious. the way they cook and season their meats is fantastic and can rival any taco truck in Los Angeles. My wife had the enchiladas rancheras which also delivered with really great taste and seasoning. Highly recommend.

If a successful commerce encounter is one where the business fills a need for the customer, then I must say that my lunch as Fonda las Cazuelas was indeed successful. (The need being a decent, relatively clean, Mexican place near my office.) They offer a lunch special at the cant-be-beat price of $5.75 for your choice 12-14 entrees (all of which include the standard rice and refried beans) and a (soft) drink. I went for the Enchiladas Verdes with chicken. The food arrived so quickly that I was suspicious it would taste exactly like it came out of a can, but the chicken was well seasoned and the sauce had the tiniest bit of kick. The rice was about average, not crunchy but nothing special. The beans were slightly less reminicent of cat food than many places I've tried, and when mixed with some of the stray cheese crumbles they were downright tasty. The server was cheerful and attentive, but that may have been because there were only about 4 tables occupied in the entire place. On my lunch hour I was able to comfortably run a 20 minute errand, eat at a comfortable pace and get back to work with 10 or 15 minutes to spare. It's safe to say that I'll be lunching at the Fonda again.

My partner is Mexican and I lived there for quite some time. We were craving authentic home-cooked food and an authentic atmosphere; we stumbled upon it and loved every bite. We have found our new favorite home-cooked Mexican and we've gone back several times since discovering it. The service team is great!

This unassuming place is the real thing. Wide choice of authentic dishes expertly cooked. The staff is nice and helpful. Live music on the weekend. Mostly local patrons. This is one of my favorite places.

I'd been in Charlotte for over a week, and hadn't had the chance to try any non-chain restaurants until Sunday night. Fonda las Cazuelas is delicious! I had a seafood dish called the 2 Devils (I think), and it was so fantastic. I'm still thinking about the sauce the large shrimp and white fish were cooked in, a little spicy, very savory and so yummy. The guac was super good, too...really fresh and handmade. A couple fo Dos Equis, a couple shots of tequila, and great service...I'm hooked, Fonda las Cazuelas!
