I absolutely love 1900.
As a frequent flyer of all cheap Mexican restaurants I was a little hesitant at the $9.00 margaritas. However considering the couple of entrees that I have had, the chips and salsa, and their rather large (and intimidating) tequila list....it is definitely worth it.
We've been a couple of times and I've had the taco salads, enchiladas, and chimichangas. Holy chimichanga. It was incredible. They put some kind of homemade cheese sauce on it that I would probably bathe in given the chance.
Also, if he is in ask to sit in Oscar's section. He knows everything there is to know about their drink menu, including the best and the interesting. We met him one night when we came in on a Tuesday at 9ish (they close at 10). While we broke the cardinal rule of week night dining Oscar did not make us feel rushed at all. He told us to take our time and chatted it up with us until we were finished.
He even gave us the secrets to getting a good table there for Cinco de Mayo...which I will not be sharing.
I definitely recommend this place and plan on going back regularly. The food amazing, drinks delish, and chips and salsa some of the best I've had. -

I've been here 3 times using CitiPass book coupons that's I've hoarded. But trust me, when they run out, I'm still coming back! My boyfriend and I are big Mexican food fans (thought not picky about authenticity per say) and we are VERY pleased with 1900!
The chips and salsa are my favorite in town! The salsa isn't chunky, which I actually prefer and it's just the right about of heat. My bf doesn't approve of the salsa, but definitely agrees the chips are legit.
I'm also in love with the refried beans here. I could just eat a plateful of these and be happy!
1900 has a decent selection of vegetarian options, but they could definitely add more to get more stars from from me. Even so, they are great about adapting their other menu options to become veggie-friendly... like substituting beans or grilled veggies instead of chicken or beef.
My favorite part of menu is the CREATE A COMBO on the back. I usually avoid these sections at most Mexican restaurants, but 1900 is a little swankier so I gave it a go....I was not disappointed!! You can choose between burritos, chimichangas, enchiladas, hard tacos, soft taco, tamals, or tostadas. One item is $7.50, two items are $8.50 and three items are $9.50. Since all of these come with a heaping pile of rice and beans... this is an excellent deal! My favorite by far is the CHIMICHANGA! Holy moly these things are amazing! Especially since they let me substitute the meat for those glorious refried beans.
My boyfriend loves the soft tacos here. He's so happy that they come with 2 tortillas to make them extra durable and hearty. He tried the chicken, beef, and pork until he settled on the pork being his favorite and that's all he orders now.
On a final note, I really enjoy the atmosphere at 1900. It's not your typical kitschy Mexican decor, but has enough flare with aztec art and prayer candles that it's got a definite style. The restaurant is neutral enough so that you can dress super casual in yoga pants and a tee or dress up classy with a cocktail dress and heels. -

On the one hand, 1900 is a pretty cool space. In fact, it is almost too much space. It's freaking huge, a fact that is especially noticeable when there is no one else inside. Not having been there before, I really had no idea if this was regular or not, but it felt more than a little creepy.
The good news is that service was solid - something that some other places can have a problem with when the restaurant is nearly empty. Definitely not an issue here though.
Tableside guacamole was definitely a nice surprise - seems like more and more folks are doing it, and it makes for a fresh treat. But after that, the rest of the food was nothing memorable. There are better places around town for a run to the border. -

TEQUILA TUESDAY. All pitchers are half price and if you aren't sharing drinks a margarita is $3 or $4. I split the house margarita pitcher for only $14! I loved the table salsa it had a slight kick and was very fresh. I do have the agree the spinach in the spinach Queso was less than fresh- but not so off putting that we didn't finish the dish or maybe i was just hungry. I ordered the Carnitas. The meat was juicy, grilled perfection. The sides are typical- just a tiny scoop of guacamole was offered. Overall- everything is pretty solid here- medium priced- nothing ridiculous like Vida in the EpiCentre but not Central Ave cheap either. However, $14 margarita pitcher earns this place an extra star- but I guess just on Tuesdays!

This joint is definitely an option when Mexican creeps on the brain. My live-in carnivore loves the deep fried chimichangas here.
The rice is awesome and the queso is worth breaking a diet for.
The women's bathroom is a little strange. I don't know how to say this other then all the stall doors and walls are glass - like, see through glass. You don't believe me? Go take a pee after dinner and meet your bladder filled neighbor. I guess I didn't mind that much after my 3rd "Margarona" or is it a "Coronarita?" Who cares? Just drink one and you won't care about sharing a quick porcelain date.
WARNING: Get NOTHING with spinach. Capital gross. I ordered a spinach enchilada (or was it burrito?) and it was one of the worst tacos sisters of my life. Extra chewy, way overcooked, tasted like a hangover and it even smelled bad. Not sure what was up with that. Forgetting about my first experience with the 1900 spinacka, we added 'fresh spinach' to our queso dip on visit #2. Well, guess who made a second appearance? If you guessed Popeye, you're wrong. There it was, again. In the middle of my favorite app on planet earth, a mushy, green, smelly slab of what at one point in it's existence used to be spinach. Poor things must have been terrified during whatever they went through to be treated this poorly. We scooped it out in it's entirety and continued on with our lives.
I'm telling you, other then spinach, this place has wonderful cantina grub and an extensive margarita menu. Lastly, the outdoor patio is perfectly set on one of the prettiest streets in Charlotte. -

I never like to write a bad review....but if I experience bad service for the money that I have spent with you, then you're gonna get it.
Only 4-6 people were actually inside dining- I stood at the bar for nearly 5 minutes to pick up food before receiving the first 'hello.'
Food wasn't that bad, actually even better the next day as left-overs
But for the $$$ spent, I'll stick with my other favorites...will give it another shot someday when its nice outside and I can take advantage of their outdoor seating. -

I don't come often, not because there is any thing I have against this place, there just is not much in the way of vegans eats. Their veggie fajitas are rather good. My omnivore friends have all seemed to enjoy their food as well.
By far the best two things about this place are; the awesome selection of tequila and it's proximity to The Visulite. I like to come here and try new tequila before shows at The Visualite. -

I went here several times when I lived in Charlotte, and it's legit.
Likes: Never crowded, even though it's street parking it's convenient, large portions for a reasonable price. I've gotten the carne asada dinner several times, and it's pretty awesome. Huge portion, tasty, and I always got at least one more meal out of it by throwing the leftovers into a tortilla at home. They also give you more than one type of salsa with your chips, I love that for a change. I'm a fan of the outdoor seating.
Dislikes: Definitely tastes like "Americanized" Mexican food, though they still do a good job at that. I went on a Sunday night once and got the margaritas on special, but the marg mix was fluorescent in color and pretty terrible (I cant judge the normal margaritas, since I never wanted to try them again).
Take it or leave it: Take it. I like this place. It's a little Americanized, but so are most places in Charlotte. -

Not a fan. Couple reasons why, one the food is mediocre at best. It's certainly no better than your run of the mill Azteca, Monterrey, etc. Keeping that in mind, my second reason for not being a fan is that I find that the dishes here are priced a little on the high side for a standard Mexican restaurant.
I like the decor of this location a little better than the Park Road location but that didn't make up for the lack luster food and the barely acceptable service provided.
If I'm looking for a quick Mexi-fix, Loco Lime or Azteca is still my go to choice! -

Well, what can I say. I love Mexican food and this is pretty good. A group of us had just left a meeting and needed a place to unwind. It was a quiet Tuesday evening and the weather was perfect for sitting outside. The view of Uptown was perfect. We chose our Kryptonite and it was a pitcher of Margaritas on special. We were like Superman and folded after the first one. It was delicious!
A few of us ordered meals and the food was good. All of us being Latino and growing up with Mom & Grandma's cooking makes us a little tough to please but this certainly passed. I would definitely go back for more. This may become our new hangout after our meetings. :)
The wait staff was fabulous. They were so helpful in pulling a bunch of tables together for us quickly without disturbing the other diners and were quick to bring out the chips and salsa as soon as we were seated. They got all of our orders right and we were more than happy with their suggestions. BRAVO! -

My boyfriend and I were driving around last night and trying to decide where to eat when we came upon 1900 Mexican Grill. We were a bit leary as we'd not heard much about this place and felt like we would have if it was any good. Since I had a Citipass coupon, and we were both getting crabby because we were hungry, we decided to check it out.
The atmosphere is a bit generic but there were a ton of tables inside; it is much bigger than you'd expect. There was a bar in the back and quite a few of the tables were taken, but we were led promptly to a booth. Chips and salsa immediately arrived and they were pretty good. I decided to start with the orange pineapple crush, which was delicious but a bit pricey at $9. I saw a happy hour menu with prices listed that were the same as the regular menu, but they did have drink specials ($2.50 bottles of Mexican beer on Thursday nights).
Our server, Karen C, was quite attentive (without being annoying) and even helped me choose my beverage. We got the guacamole made tableside ($9) and it was actually very good; I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars for how fresh it tasted. My boyfriend got the Enchiladas Verdes ($13), which came with only rice, so he had to order a side of refried beans (which ended up being enough refried beans for about four people). Being quite the enchilada aficianado, he said he enjoyed these. I ordered the fajita quesadilla, which was very good as well, but huge. I ended up eating a1/3 of it and plan to eat the rest for lunch AND dinner today...three meals for $10 is a great deal in my book.
Ultimately, if you just have to have some Mexican and Cantina 1511 is on a two hour wait (as they are frequently on weekends), this is a solid back-up choice. Plenty of parking available in the lots behind and across the street. -

Easily some of the worst food I've had in this town.
After dipping into the free salsa (read - v8 with some cilantro floaters) I asked for something spicier - and was brought huy fong cock sauce. I'm sitting there, staring at it, saying to myself, there's no way they're trying to pass this Pho condiment off as a housemade spicy salsa, but there it was, and that was the gist.
Aiight. Perhaps a beer will shroud my anger in a warm blankie of malt and hops and we can move along. Except they don't have most of the list - so I end up with a Dos Equis Lager, aka Mexican Bud. Sigh.
Fajitas were sub par and eerily sweet. Guac was olive-fading-to-bark brown, and dispensed very stingily. What did I attempt to eat? Their tortafication of a veggie burger, which despite muchos toppings, was mushy boredom. Served on waaaay too much Teleras bread. And unripe avocado, which, when put on a sammich, likes to make a run for it and squish out onto your lap/plate/shoe.
Our server was good. Poor girl. Find ye another fake-Mex place to practice your arts in cuz this one ain't gonna be here much longer.Listed in: Hunting for Torta

Lunch on a cold rainy day....For starters we had the cheese dip which was delicious, but how can you really mess up cheese and chips. A little guacamole, some salsa verde(by request only). My girl had the salsa verde enchiladas, which she loved and i tried the homemade black bean burger. Which was served on a soft hot huge bun, topped with this black bean spread, guacamole mayo. Surprisingly good. We usually eat Loco Lime, but thought we would try something different. Yes i recommend this place ...Oh yeah, the Margaritas are Incredible!

Nothing special here other than the location. We were headed to a show at the Visualite up the street. This is your same old Mexican food joint with a large tall open dining room. I had the steak tacos and my friend had the enchiladas - both tasted good, not great, we left a little on our plate. We did have the 1/2 price pitchers of sangria - again, good, not great.
I was just as ready to leave as I was to arrive. Will I go back...only if I am around the area with no other options - too many other places to try! -

I was really hoping to like 1900 Mexican Grill based on the great things Ive heard about it.
Went in Saturday evening after finding out that Cantina had a two hour wait : ( .
Started with the Sangria which was a little to sweet for me. I wouldnt have believe there was red wine in it- and despite its large size and my empty stomach id say they were on the weak side.
We first asked for Guacamole and our server asked us if we would like it table-side and if we wanted one avocado or two. We gave him our answer but we were never given our Guacamole. When our meals came out I assumed he must have forgotten so I asked for it again and he came back and asked the same questions as he did previously, almost acting like we had never originally asked for it...no apology either. I will say once we did receive it I really enjoyed it.
My enchiladas were nothing special - it was quite a sad dish really. Nothing tasted fresh nothing was exciting about the dish.
I am not sure that id go back. I love Cantina and La Paz and this restaurant cannot compete in my opinion. -

I have a friend who absolutely loves this place, so this is where we go whenever he decides Mexican is what's blowing up his skirt. The food is always served in a relatively quick time frame and I ALWAYS leave feeling uncomfortably full because of the large portion sizes. I usually get one of the combos or a taco salad. One time another friend and I split the dessert nachos and they didn't stand a snowball's chance in a cast iron skillet -- we scarfed them down PDQ.
My only gripes are that sometimes I feel that it can be a tad overpriced, but I guess since the portion sizes are so large then that's probably to be expected. The staff used to be really pushy about drink orders. Don't get me wrong, I love a good 'rita as much as the next muchacha but sometimes I just want some water. The past few times I've been, this hasn't been a problem so it appears that this has probably changed some. They have otherwise always been attentive and wonderful. -

Definitely a fan of this place. They really know how to wine and dine you here.
1. There's a lovely hostess greeting you at the front (top 1 girl I've seen in CLT thus far)
2. The wait staff is friendly, fast, and graceful
3. Their bar is ideal if you want a quiet environment to watch a football game.
4. Their food is pretty phenomenal as well.
5. Enchiladas de Mole are top chart.
Didn't really pay attention to anything else as I was trying to make sure my gf didn't catch me sneaking that peek kiddddd.
LBD scale: 8.5. Definitely a really good Mexican place that everybody should try. -

A recent purchase on the http://Restaurant.com website brought us here, and I was pleasantly surprised.
-Chips and Salsa. You get regular salsa, as well as a pico de gallo-type corn salsa. Delicious, and with free refills.
-Appetizer. We got the cheese dip. This was very good, even though I suspect it was from a jar. Still, it's pretty hard to mess up cheese dip.
-Bevs. It being Sunday, margaritas were $3. They were fine. For $3. a bit weak, but again, $3. I noticed that some very good drink specials were featured on other days of the week, including a $2 pint night on Fridays.
-Entrees. I had the "Fajita Salad," for $10 with carne asada. The steak was a little bland, but the rest of the salad really made up for it. The taco shell was still warm, and the salad didn't have an overly large amount of the shredded iceberg so common to taco salads. There was a generous amount of cheese, sour cream, and the "good" type of jalapeno (not too spicy, kelly green).
My boyfriend ordered the "pick three" combo for $9.25. It came with three items of your choice (enchilada, taco, etc) as well as rice and beans.
Service. Our waitress was very attentive and prompt.
All in all, this place is worth a visit. On a side note, they feature probably more than 80 tequilas. -

I'll never go back. Before I start in on how horrible the food was, let me say this...the wait staff was great. They were friendly and very professional.
Now...the food and drink.... I paid $8 for "lime green colored water" with salt around the rim, that they called a margarita...go figure. I had the bean soup for the appetizer, which really wasn't bad. It was made up of pinto beans, some sort of shredded pork and loads of cilantro but still edible. I ordered the Margarita Ribeye, medium well, and they brought out a Top Sirloin, well done. Top Sirloin can't even be eaten well done. Oh and they served Cactus salad with it. UUUUGGGGHHHHH...... Anyway, I was going to "play" with it and pay for it. One of my friends who I went with told the waiter that I didn't like it and he brought out Fried Chicken Salad...she was eating that. It was equally as bad. The lettuce was brown and wilted. Is it possible to have two bad dishes in one evening? -

This is a nice little addition to Elizabeth. The food was good and decently priced. I had a 3way combo and there was plenty on the plate for 10 bucks. The location, and the view was very inviting. If you sit on the patio you can feel like you're really part of the neighborhood. I will be going back soon.

Review for Cinco De Mayo festivities at 1900.
There were a gaggle of people when I rolled up. Got lucky..and found parking right away. Big ol' tent on the lawn with satellite bar. Beer pong table busy. Two cornhole games set up. Sizeable stage with band in the back. Throngs of people with beers in hand just chilling. Inside, tons of people hanging around the bar, tables filled. Took a while for the bartender to get to us, but she was quick getting my gigantic can of Tecate.
Festivity-wise, could've been more festive. Band kind of sucked. Still, it was fun to just hang out with peeps on a lawn with large beer in hand.
Perhaps I will visit this place for a normal meal one of these days. -

When my roommate and I walked into 1900 Mexican, I remember being taken aback by the chic design (especially the chandeliers, OMG I covet the chandeliers) and thinking that I hoped the food and the service were as excellent as the decor because if they were then this was going to be a 5 star experience.
If wishes were fishes we'd all eat well. As it was, we ate passably.
Like many mexican restaurants they started us off with chips and salsa, which came in two forms, standard red and corn. I hoped the latter would wow me, but it was pretty bland. But, hey, it was free.
The drinks, on the other hand, were most certainly not at $9 a piece. I know better than to order anything containing the ingredient "margarita mix" but i let the spirit get the best of me and ended up with a overly sweet cherry drink that may once have made the brief acquaintance of some tequila.
For our entrees, I ordered the Enchiladas Verde and he got the Fajitas de Casa. To their credit, both were so generously portioned that we ended up unable to finish. The chicken in the enchiladas was tasty, but the sauce was bland, especially when I spread the allotment of sour cream over them before realizing it was far too much (and I rarely admit such a situation exists). He enjoyed the mix of proteins in the fajitas but I tried one of the shrimp and found it unpleasant, so the seasoning is for some but not all palettes. Overall, the food wasn't bad, but it was also unremarkable.
The service did meet the standard I had originally expected, with both servers that came to our table being prompt and friendly.
I really did want to be able to write a glowing review of 1900 Mexican, but as it turned out, I won't claim to never be returning, but next time I plan on dropping decent money on Mexican, I am likely to try somewhere else. -

I haven't written a review on Yelp in awhile but after eating here tonight I had to share our awful experience. This place is terrible. I have to say that I am from LA and moved here a year and a half ago, so I am a bit spoiled as far as Mexican food goes, but this place is really bad even if you don't know what good Mexican food can taste like. I do like Cantina 1500 so I am not being a total snob!
The service was very, very slow, the drinks were tepid and boring, and the food - ugh. My husband had a bean and carnita soup that was a greyish hue and was inedible. He had mole enchiladas, and let's just say the mole sauce was not what it should be. The chicken in the enchilada appeared to have come from a can - that shredded tuna - fish type chicken. I had a snapper veracruz and I could smell the fishiness of the fish from the moment he set it down in front of me. It tasted old. And gross.
I always take into account the cleanliness of the bathrooms when I eat out, because if they can't keep the bathrooms clean you usually don't want to see what the kitchens look like. I went into a bathroom stall and there was no paper dispenser on the wall. Instead, there was a big, sopping wet roll of industrial toilet paper (with STAINS on it) sitting on the back of the toilet. Ew. -

We love 1900! We eat at both the Park Rd and Elizabeth locations.
First, they always have a great beer special, but the Dos Equis Amber on draft is always a treat. It's hard to beat that on a summer night.
I always order the Tacos Fundidos with steak. Others in our group order a smattering, and the food is always good.
This is not the "most authentic" mexican food in the world, but it certainly is pretty great. However, I will concede that the margaritas here are marginal at best. But as a beer drinker, that doesn't bother me.
The place is very kid accomodating, as we will often bring the young kids with us. All in all, we thoroughly enjoy our experiences here. -

I have visited this location 3 times and each visit I had a good experience.
I ordered a combo two every visit, seems to be the best value ($8.50). You choose two items from a list of about 7 selections including burritos, hard or soft tacos, enchiladas, chimichangas, tamals, or tostadas and it is served with rice and beans.
Overall the quality may be one notch higher than your standard mexican restaurant that many of us have grown accustomed to in the south. You are also paying a little more for this great location.
If there is anything that stands out to me about this place it has to be their shredded beef that you can get stuffed in just about anything on the menu. It's delicious!
I have not visited their other location so I cannot compare the two. -

Went last night with hubby and son (11). Great food, lousy service.
The meal started out well with salsa and corn salsa that was out of this world. Asked for more corn salsa 3 times before we received it.
Seemed that the servers were rotating around, and lost track of where were were in the cycle. Took a long time to get our food though it was not a busy night.
Ordered the pollo con crema and it was absolutely delicious. The fajita steak quesidilla was a bit salty, but good.
Service was not personal at all, beautiful atmosphere. May return. -

I like this place! The staff is nice, the facility is clean and the food is authentic. It is not just gloopy 'mexican' food on the plate, there is presentation and some good composition dishes, not just taco, burrito, enchilada combinations. The restrooms are spotless and the bartender is knowledgeable. The only reason they get 4 stars instead of 5 is because I have not eaten enough dishes (i'm hooked on the chimichangas) to give the 5th star. Now they serve aguas frescas & have daily drink specials. Would recommend you to try them out!

1900 Mexican Grill offers great traditional Mexican foods. The location on Elizabeth Ave managed (thankfully!) to survive the year-plus-long trolley rail road construction (for the non-existent trolley!). The dining room area is beautiful, with high ceilings, nicely themed decor, and great lighting. It feels like a higher-class Mexican restaurant, but still with very reasonable regular-restaurant pricing.
We went early on a Friday night and were immediately seated (without a reservation). The later it got, the more the dining room filled up, so we were glad we went earlier with our party of six.
The free chips and salsa served seem fresher and more homemade than some Mexican restaurants. You're given a sampler of regular salsa, hot salsa, and corn salsa.
In the past, I've ordered the enchiladas, a giant-sized smothered burrito, or one of dishes with mole sauce. I opted for something different this time around: Tacos de Carne Asada. It was three doubled moist corn tortillas with carne asada with rice and homemade hot sauce on the side. They're supposed to resemble Mexican street cart style tacos. I think it's one of my new favorites. I'm not a big fan of corn tortillas (I prefer flour), but the flavor of the meat offset my aversion to the corn tortillas, and the double layering of the tortillas helped hold together corn tortillas that normally fall apart. The hot sauce was very flavorful, chunky, and OH-SO-HOT. Don't get me wrong, I love spicy foods, but this even pushed my limits. That's when I ordered some water on the side of my Diet Coke. Yum, though! I normally don't care for the semi-bland Mexican rice (unless I dump the leftover salsa on it), but the mildness of the rice helped cool down the tacos in this case! If not for gorging myself with the chips, this would have been the perfect-sized entree to fill me up, but not make me feel too full (mostly because there were no beans, cheese, or other heavy foods).
Our server was right on top of things, too, so we had a fantastic experience.
p.s. They have a huge tequila menu, too, for you tequila connoisseurs! -

I love this place. The food and service has always been outstanding. I've been coming here for 2 years now. The table-side guacamole is the best! I think if you order the same simple stuff you can get anywhere (chimichangas, burritos...), there is not much difference. But if you order something a little different, like carne asada tacos, you will be pleasantly surprised.
I'm not much of a drinker, so I can't comment on the mixed drinks but they have Modelo on tap! -

Sticking with Vida. 1900 Cantina ambience is comfortable & attempts to be higher end Azteca. Portions were huge, they couldn't figure out how to change the syrup for the soda. Menu offerings are what you would expect for any Mexican joint. Service was non existent & was overall disappointed esp when it is situated in the company of Carpe Diem & Custom Shop expected more from what could be a gem.

First trip to 1900 Mexican Grill - loved it. Service was very attentive, food was great, and the Obama Margarita was super. Started off with tableside guacamole; we got the smaller size ($7) and it was plenty for two. Burrito combination plate was very good, and the carnitas were excellent. Very large chunks of pork compared to other places, and the meat was super tender. Some of the better corn tortillas I've had also - they were thinner and didn't taste dough-ey. Not sure if that is a word...you know what I mean. They have over 50 different kinds of tequila, and offer flights so you can taste three different kinds if you like. Flights are $16. Great atmosphere, friendly, and very clean. I would definitely go back.

Go here if only for the margaritas, no where else in town comes close. The Margarita de la Casa is AMAZING. They also have a great mole sauce, if that's your thing (it's mine, but I know you either love mole or hate it).

In my opinion, in the top 5 best Mexican food in Charlotte, I really, really enjoyed this place. Service was good, food was awesome. Music was a little strange.

I approve of the fajitas de le casa (sp?) + 1 low carb margarita. Good Charlotte mexican.
