La Paz Restaurante

the salsa tasted like it just came out of a can..service is just ok..food is way too expensive for the stuff they actually serve you. I've tried and given this place 4 tries now..every time trying something different. It got worse each time. The nice patio and view looking over S. Blvd is the only good thing I can really say about this place

The enchiladas had very little sauce, even smaller amount of filling, rice was pre-packaged mexican rice & the salsa was TERRIBLE..new to the area, very disappointed with the first Mexican restaurant I have tried in NC.

Who ever has done it! The old lapaz is back. We went Saturday night and had to wait for 45 min and it was worth it. The live music was fantastic. It happened to be Jimbo Chapman with Craven Melon. The place was rockin. I had the filet mignon fajitas which were out of this world and my date had shrimp fajitas. The chips and salsa rounded out the meal and as always the margaritas are truely the best in Charlotte. The waitstaff was very attentive even when things weren't quite right. If you haven't been to La Paz in a while it is a must go to restaurant for 2008.

Pros: valet parking, music

Cons: none

I had not had good experiences with La Paz but saturday I gave them one last chance. The waitress forgot the queso dip we ordered, after 15 minutes I asked her about it and she went and got it. I ordered a pork enchilada and a chile relleno, and beef was in my enchilada and not pork. Then, the waitress took forever bringing the check while others got their checks quickly. She took so long coming for our checkcards that my sister took out her card and put down cash to get us OUT OF THERE. The service has not been so good when I was there previously. And outside, they had signs advertising new owners or new SOMETHING. well, there is still a problem...food was all right, it might have been better if I got what I ordered, but a waste of money as a dining experience.

Pros: cute inside

Cons: bad service all the way around

i just went and ate at lapaz the other night, and the WHOLE place has been turned around !!! the restaurant is under new ownership and they have made it OUTSTANDING!! the food is excellent and the atmosphere is even better then before!! so if you have had a bad experience i HIGHLY recommend you give it another shot. hands down i would vote this the BEST mexican / south western food i have ever had!!

$12.99 is too much to pay for rice, beans and a burrito, especially when the quality is average at best.

I've heard all the raving & am not sure where it is coming from. I've eaten at excellent Mexican & Southwest places & all have put this to shame. I expected good & received average.
There was nothing special to the food. Nothing a little different. Nothing above par.
I won't say I was disappointed, it was ok, but I wouldn't make any special trips for this.

Pros: Nice patio outside, great service.

Cons: Food was only average as compared to other places I've been.

La Paz is a fun place to go for a special occasion. it is a little pricey and very beautiful. they have a fun drink menu and the food is great. it can get very crowded. The bar is small.

There was hardly any seasoning on this food! I was very disappointed in the taste of this food. Luckily, the restaurant is located in a great part of the city.

Pros: Great area of town, sealed patio is great for cold/rainy days, good margaritas

Cons: Food was not great, service was mediocre

bland and boring... cute place though. I would only recommend the pazarita margarita with tortilla chips and salsa selection.

Pros: margaritas, patio

Cons: bland unimaginative food, hard to find parking

Based on word of mouth, maybe my expectations were a little high for this restaurant being called the best Mexican restaurant in Charlotte. Being from Texas and experiencing the real stuff, this wasn't it. The service was good, but everything else was just ok. It's not authentic, nor is it Tex-Mex, so I'm not sure how I would categorize it, but I won't be going back.

La Paz has been a longtime family favorite of ours, since they were on Providence to today on South Blvd. The ambiance is great and the food is even better. I reccomend trying their Zapnin and their Green Salsa is a MUST!!! This place does not disappoint.

Wonderful service, cool atmosphere and delicious, delicious food! I have become a regular there. Never been disappointed. The food is so good, it's worth a little extra money.

Pros: Great Service, Great Food, Great View

Perfect in every way. Not "greasy-spoon" Mexican food at all.

Great to sit outside on the patio!

Be sure to order the "green salsa"

Being from Houston, Tex-Mex is the heart and soul of American "Mexican" food - La Paz does this very well. The beans are really refried for flavor, the fajitas are grilled, as they should be, and whopping large portions make take-homes great. The atmosphere is nice; been there on a busy night and a slooow Sunday afternoon. It beats a small taqueria when you want to eat somewhere nice. All in all, very satisfying.

Pros: great food, reasonable pricing, presentation good

Cons: parking!, parking, parking
