About the restaurant
Life is serious enough, dinner and drinks with friends and family should be a break from the daily grind. This, “come for drink, stay for while” attitude has shaped us into what we are today... a relaxing, no hassle, neighborhood spot. While we do take our food seriously, we strive to offer a welcoming feeling in our restaurant. Whether it is with family, friends, or by yourself, we invite you to come enjoy some good music, eat a big meal, and stay for a drink.

Truly a favorite place to come a few times a month with friends and family. The food and drinks are consistently delicious and interesting. The tortillas are freshly made in house, and I like to get extra to take home. Everyone is kind and welcoming, and it’s an absolutely beautifully designed restaurant with a relaxing and inviting feeling. It’s the kind of place you can linger and enjoy conversations. They even have a skyline view from the patio and a warm fire pit. We often walk down the hill to the nearby greenway for a stroll after we eat. Thank you, Maiz Agua Sal. You make Charlotte a better place to be!

We went here for queens feast and what you are able to recieve is great value. I myself had the chicken drumsticks, salmon, duck curry (the best I have ever had) and chocolate lava cake all for $50. It was a quiet night due to weather coming in the next day and between second and third course, there was a long wait but the food made up for it.

These delicious dishes paired with great service, generous portions and a warm atmosphere keep our guests and their families coming back for more.

Join us soon! We look forward to hosting your next business or family gathering.

Apps were perfect tonight and so yummy, as usual! Our pizza was prepared and cooked exactly as we specified and was delicious as usual as well. I have yet to have a bad or mediocre meal at Pizza Baby! The stafg and servers are always friendly, bubbly and very tentative to your needs. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone and I bring all my friends and family there.

About the restaurant
Superica
– “where sunshine spends the winter” – also known as Tex-Mex cuisine served in an Old-West-inspired atmosphere alongside music inspired by Austin.

The cuisine is a combination of 1950s Tex-Mex and the wood grill that has taken the food to another level by way of fajitas and more. An “evolved Tex-Mex menu,” includes the classics: tacos, nachos, tamales and enchiladas plus more intricate dishes such as wood-grilled fajitas and shrimp tacos always served with just-made flour tortillas, all while paying homage to the traditions and recipes that have been a part of the Texas culture for decades.
