Mi Fuente Fresh Mexican Grill

My wife and I frequent this spot more than probably any other restaurant. I’ve lived all over the country and this is some of the best, consistent, quality Mexican food we’ve ever had. We can’t find a place within a driving distance to outdo this establishment. If you want the best service you can ask for, ask to sit in Maritza’s section. She is consistent, she remembers small details & she smiles the whole time that she does it. It’s very clear that she’s an incredibly hard worker. We’ve been served by everyone there and the service is always great, but Maritza stands out. Go check out Mi Fuente - My Source!

Being super picky to Mexican restaurants, I was very impressed with this one. The food was so tasty and well seasoned. The service was fast and on point. Highly recommend if you’re on the area.

Passing through Locust and wanting Mexican food, we stopped in. Everything was DELICIOUS! Service was fast and friendly. We will definitely be back next time we’re in town. 5/5 all around!

This is our go-to place for good Mexican food. We usually get the fajitas. Service is always great and the prices are very reasonable. The chicken soup is very good and filling.

UPDATE: April 2. 3024 We went back some months later and loved our second experience. We have been back several times now with no complaints. Food has been great and we now love this restaurant! First Review (during Covid): We decided to try a little Mexican restaurant we discovered while in Locust a few weeks ago, Mi Fuente Family Mexican Restaurant. Driving from Charlotte to get there didn’t take all that long since we were on the outskirts of Mint Hill. From the outside it looks somewhat run down, and could use a little love. Once inside we were met with a hostess who was wiping down the menus with a very strong sanitizer – it made me cough, but I was glad she was doing that. She, as well as the other servers and staff, were wearing masks. We were seated in a small room off of the main dining area. They did have tables and booths marked off for social distancing. It is still such a small room, and two couples came in not wearing masks, which made us cringe. We are in the high risk groups and so were those two couples, so we were wondering why they weren’t wearing a mask. We were seated in this small room first and it was nice and quiet, but once others were seated there, it became loud and very noisy. The chips came out first and the salsa was in small carry out containers. The salsa was not the best I’ve ever had, but certainly not the worst either. There was some flavor, but it was not spicy and certainly freshly made. I ordered the make your own combination with one taco and one enchilada, which came with rice and refried beans. My husband ordered the small shrimp fajitas, which also came with rice and beans. My dish was what you would get at any little Mexican restaurant anywhere around Charlotte, Mint Hill, Matthews... I loved the cheese on my taco, but the meat was cold and had it not been for the cheese, there would be no flavor. The rice was good and the enchilada was typical of these small Mexican restaurants. My husband’s fajitas came on the same plate as his rice and beans and just with the salad part and sour cream – no Pico de gallo or guacamole. It didn’t come out sizzling on a little hot skillet, and he said he would not get it again. We didn’t get refills on our drinks until we were finished eating, and my husband’s lemonade had something black floating around in the glass, so he didn’t drink his only refill. Not a total loss, though, as we stopped at Wal-Mart on the way home and did a little shopping. Sorry Mi Fuente, we won’t be back.

Took the family for lunch this past weekend, and we thoroughly enjoyed our food and drinks. I highly recommend the chimichanga. The way they fry their tortillas, it's like crunchy and soft at the same time. Too good!!!!! Enjoy friends. (For added context, I'm from Southern California and I love Mexican food. This place ranks pretty high on my list). Enjoy friends.

We hired the food truck for our Christmas party and I’m so glad we did!! The food was incredible, the service was incredible. These guys know how to do it!! They showed up on time with a smile on their faces and did an incredible job for us. 10/10 will be hiring them for my next event and would recommend you do the same. You will not regret it!!

I have ate here a few times and have never been disappointed. The service is always fast and the food is excellent! If you want good Mexican food and are in a hurry I highly recommend this place
