8 reviews for 1900 Mexican Grill
I had been intending to try this place for quite some time. I am a fan of both DragonFly (Chinese) and Portofino (Italian) in the same shopping center, so it took a concerted effort to bypass both of them and get to 1900.
Today (a Sunday) was the day. I went mid-afternoon, between the typical lunch and dinner. I had the place to myself and sat at the bar. A couple additional parties did show up toward the end of my visit, as supper time approached.
I knew I wanted a frozen Margarita, but was confronted with the question of *what kind* of frozen Margarita?!? Oh crap. I had a melon Margarita (no salt, please) that was pretty good. I'm guessing Midori instead of the triple sec or Grand Marnier. $7.
I'll get to the food in a minute, but second round I decided I would explore what berry options were available. The bartender mentioned fresh blueberries, and I was sold. Only available on the rocks, I was fine with that. Muddled blueberries... very interesting and tasty. Fresh fruit Margarita? $13! Damn... that one cocktail cost more than my entree!
The food was very good and the menu is compelling. I will need to go back to try some other entrees that caught my eye. Much more authentic Mexican cuisine than I am used to seeing around Charlotte!
Carnitas, carne asada, mole, great sounding seafood and salads, and of course, a variety of fajitas, tacos and burritos. I suspect what another reviewer considered bland seasoning is due to having become conditioned to expect over-spiced American Tex-Mex. I found the preparations to be simple, subtly flavorful and fresh... which, to me, is authentic Mexican.
They also have create-a-combo options, and were quite willing to mix-n-match tacos (i.e.. two steak and one chicken). The overwheling sense was one of accommodation... you ask, and they'll probably do it for you. That is *always* a plus!
The setting is great! Very quaint and comfortable. I could very much be carried away by memories of Ensenada, down on the Baja. The decor is as authentic as the menu. Service was excellent. Very friendly... possibly due to my being the only patron there during much of my visit.
I am already planning for a return visit to try the chuletas rellenas. Reading the description again is making my mouth water... :)
Met a friend at 1900 for dinner tonight. The pico was delish but otherwise my tostada was nothing out of the ordinary. The prices seemed a bit high for your average Mexican restaurant but I would probably give it another try!
This was my second time at 1900 Mexican Grill. The first time was during a job interview so I was much more nervous about the day rather than what I was eating. Now that I'm not feeling that sort of pressure, I can report a more accurate experience.
The service is good, the atmosphere seems lively, and the restaurant is busy (at least when I was there both times). However, the quality of the food is less than great. I ordered the veggie fajitas and while the sour cream, guacamole, and salsa added some flavor to the tortilla, the veggies seemed over cooked (a bit on the mushy side) and lacked seasoning. Beans and rice accompanied the fajitas, but also were lacking a distinct flavor.
I can't remember if the dinner menu is the same as the lunch menu. This previous experience was during lunch and the veggie fajitas were $7. The portion seemed to be a good size and for a light lunch, I could have shared. Other items on the menu were around the same price. My husband ordered a salad and it seemed just his portion size.
I was disappointed in the quality of the food and I do not plan on returning. I remember I had similar thoughts my first time around; I guess even under a lot of pressure, like a job interview, the quality of food is still on my radar!
I arrived with a coworker at 12:15 which should have been smack dab in the middle of the lunch rush. Most of the tables were filled, but the hostess was able to seat us promptly. A minute or two later, a bowl of chips with two different salsas was dropped off as our drink order was taken.
The chicken fajita burrito was served on a very hot plate with a large amount of rice and no refried beans. Freshly made, it had a lot of flavor and good consistency. The rice was cooked properly - I've been to other restaurants where it was dry and crunchy. Not here.
There were a few large screen TV's set up and tuned in to the sports channels.
The waiter was attentive, but not too much so. We were left to enjoy our meals in peace. Separate checks were offered without our having to ask.
As Mexican restaurants go, this was good. I've had better. And I've had a lot worse. Three stars today.
I went to eat here with some old coworkers for lunch & came away pretty happy with the whole experience. 1900 Mexican is tucked away in a nice shopping center off Park Road so it's a little tough to spot unless you know about it.
The place was pretty packed for lunch, but we didn't have to wait at all for a table of 7. The inside seems very cluttered though, with lots of tables & booths very close together. Maybe this is one of the ways they seat the lunch crowd so quickly. They also have a nice patio area that seemed pretty popular when we rolled up. Other than the cluttered feeling, the atmosphere is typical of most Mexican restaurants, from the decor on the walls to the spicy colors throughout the place. They also have some good tvs throughout the place so catching a mid day sporting event during your meal is quite easy.
The food was nothing too special & the lunch menu prices were right around the average for similar Mexican places. I had the burrito & taco combination lunch & can't complain. You won't get as big a portion as some of the other Mexican joints, but you still get quite a good amount of food for the price. And everyone at the table seemed to enjoy their meal, so I'd say that the food is quite good, but nothing special.
While 1900 Mexican isn't anything special, it does serve good food for a good price just like your similar Mexican restaurants. I'd definitely agree that there are better Mexican places in Charlotte to eat at, but this is a good choice if you want Mexican & you're close by.
1900 Mexican Grill is a cool, little tucked-away Mexican restaurant off Park Rd (near Fairview). The inside is themed and decorated very well in bright colors. I recommend the booths! They provide a private, intimate experience. They also have outdoor seating on their patio in the courtyard, which is nice to enjoy during the warmer months (but not too warm -- unless you're sitting in a pitcher of margarita!).
The chips and salsa they serve are average, but a little on the hotter side than some places. My favorite dish is the Chicken Mole. Yum. I love a good mole sauce and 1900 Mexican Grill does a great job.
We've always been able to get seated right away, too, no matter what night we've gone on. Give 'em a try!
Good Mexican food, but more pricey than other options of equivalent taste. Although the portions are very generous, the taste of the food really doesn't stand out above any other authentic Mexican restaurants in Charlotte. For my money, El Cancun is much better option.
This is a nice little Mexican place- the food is good and pretty authentic. I really like the chili rellenos, and the make your own combination platters. The staff is friendly and the portions are huge. There is a mariachi band on Friday nights that is great but they are REALLY loud, so don't go on Friday's for a quiet evening out.
