Verde Mexican Nuevo Latin Fusion

We visited Verde on a Saturday night. We heard about it via our Offline membership and then all the great Yelp reviews sealed the deal. We grabbed a couple friends and decided to take the one hour road trip to check it out. The night we went was downpouring so the drive was longer than an hour, but it turned out to be well worth it!

The hostess was friendly from the moment we walked in the door. We requested a table in the back and she was happy to accommodate us. Thank so the miserable weather on a Saturday night, we had no wait despite our prime dinnertime arrival. Score!

Our server was a lovely as could be and made a few menu suggestions that were spot-on! My husband ordered a traditional Mojito and it was the best we had outside of South Florida!

Each couple ordered Empanadas for an appetizer. One chicken and one chorizo. I had the chorizo and it was excellent. The meat had a wonderful flavor and the empanada pastry was light and flaky. The green sauce that accompanied the empanadas was creamy and delicious with a nice little kick of spice.

Two of us ordered Mar y Tierra and loved it! Everything was seasoned perfectly, the vegetables were cooked perfectly, and the arepa was the best I have ever had! My friend never had an arepa before and now she's hooked. Everything about the arepa from the taste to the texture was amazing! We especially loved the light caramelization on the outside. Oh man, it was good!!

Another person in our party ordered Pibil and ate every bite. My husband had fajitas and asked for both the Tamarind chicken and Chimichurri steak, which they happily obliged. I had a taste of both the proteins and they were delicious!

All around, it was a perfect dining experience! We will definitely go back to try their brunch w/bottomless sangria!

If you checked out photos you know the food looks great. It tastes as good as it looks. Don't hesitate to check it out.

The menu has a variety of starters entrees sandwiches dessert and drinks to choose from.

Let's get this out the way. $5 bottomless sangria. Now, before you get too excited, they aren't super strong (expected), but they are delicious.

Now, the food to fuel your Sunday Funday.

Fish tacos: 5/5
Yes, yes, and yes. The reviews led me to the fish tacos and they did not disappoint. The tacos are full of tempura-flashed fish with veggies. I left satisfied.

I was told that the steak and eggs were good.

The place was pretty empty around 1:30pm. Definitely worth a visit!

Visited with the little cousins as we were heading to a class in the area. One of my cousins had been before and highly recommended. Loved the bright and fun interior. The service was also on point, very attentive and helpful. My cousin used to order a specific sandwich when he came which was no longer on the menu and the manager or owner came out to make an exception and asked what type of things he would like inside. So nice and excellent service. The food was delicious and came out pretty quickly as well. Very filling and hit the spot. I'm always on the lookout for Al pastor tacos, and these were definitely yummy. The fries were also that delicious crunchy texture, and loved the herb and cotija on top. Glad we got to visit and have such great service.

My husband and I have started going to Verde almost every month, and we really enjoy their food, service, and reasonable prices.

On this latest visit, we started with the tres quesos. Their chips are homemade, fresh fried, slightly thick, and absolutely amazing. With the tres quesos, you get one bowl of their yummy queso dip, and two bowls of the salsa. We destroyed this appetizer, as we usually do.

We've tried most of the items on the menu, but I think I've finally found my favorite--the fish tacos. There are three to a serving on small corn taco shells (doubled up to prevent breakage), with cabbage slaw, amazing poblano cream sauce, and tomatillo salsa. My tacos were generously filled, and after eating the dips, I could only eat one. (FYI - they do reheat well!) When I want a lighter meal, I'll get the Camarones Capeados appetizer as my entree. It's lower-carb and delicious. The Verde Burrito (steak) is also delicious, but I might ask for a smaller version with no rice in the future to lower the carb/calorie count.

My husband had their steak fajitas on this latest visit. They served a few too many onions in this dish, but the steak portion was still generous. They give you sides of pico, sour cream, and cheese which could (should) be doubled in size. Their included side of black beans was delicious as usual. My husband used to get the fajitas at Prickly Pear in Mooresville (now closed) all the time, and he said these were a decent substitute. He's also enjoyed their Pibil, Mar y Tierra, Pollo a la Plancha, and Ropa Vieja on previous visits.

We always have fast and efficient service here. I appreciate that I can pay at the table using Apple Pay, too. We can't wait to return!

Always delicious- our go to place for great food snd friendly service.bottomless sangria on weekends

Walk into a cool atmosphere with booths and tables that are elevated on a riser. The menu pans several Latin American options and this time I was looking for mofongo and I was impressed. I'm used to seeing the seafood I. Top of the mashed plantain. Here they turned the yuca i to a bowl and filled it with seafood, peppers, and onions. It was a flavorful and delicious treat.

Verde has a variety of options, brunch on the weekend, and a kids menu which includes quesadillas and chicken tenders. Come by and enjoy a great meal at Verde.

Every time my family and I come here, we just have such a great experience! The food and the service are always great! We love coming on nights where they have live music!

The service food and ambiance was great. We sat outside with a live DJ playing Caribbean music especially soca music. It was a vibe. The shrimp and plantain was good but not work over $12 for just two. They should add more plantains and make them smaller so it can be more enjoyable. The plantain does get soggy due to the sauce from the shrimp. I'm would give this place another chance and recommend to friends

I had the fish tacos which said lobster infused something...not sure about that but they were really good. My sister had the ropavieja was also very tasty! Will co.e back here again for sure.
