We went to a Brazilian event called Exquenta and everything was great. Delicious Brazilian food, great service. We will definitely be back.

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.

This place is in music factory which is a nice little area in Charlotte with venues and restaurants alike. The decor is like street chic, I LOVED IT!! We recommended this place by our Uber driver and she did not disappoint!! The thing that appeal to us was the frozen margarita machine they had and a mid-size dance floor. The food was excellent!! We did get a hooka as well while we were there, but paid a separate vendor and it was 45 for 2-3 hits per person: I don’t know anything about hooka but that seemed a bit much for no more than we got!!

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 what looked like only 2-3 bartenders. Everyone was very nice music was good.

Loved this place. We stopped here before a 945 PM show at the Comedy Zone and had a great time. Drinks were amazing. Chips and salsa were perfect and the food being delivered to other tables looked amazing. Very good service and comfortable seating. The DJ played great music and the volume wasn’t so loud we were not able to talk. We left at 915 PM to get in line and it was clear the party was just getting started in La Unica!

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 we entered then more people came in. They even played Afrobeats music for a little bit. Took me by surprise.
