A: This is a great out of the way place that is Authentic! I hate Chains! The patio is very romantic and big and the food is really good! I've had the shrimp enchiladas, chicken chimi and many more wonderful dishes. The fajitas! The servings are large and sometimes after all the chips and salsa which is really good I can only finish half my meal! There are two dining areas I prefer the one with the booths as its a little quieter. TIP: on Fri. and Sat. night there is a long wait so if you need to be at a movie or something go early about 6pm. Also the patio fills up fast! I have since moved to Boulder, but every time I come to Phoenix (which is a lot) I make the trip a little further south to come here and have never been disappointed.

A: Another spot to add to my list of Places to Lunch in the Old Port. A keeper, this one. Depending on the weather, you can stay inside and stay cool in the spacious, chic interior room, or you can go outside and sun yourself on the fairly sizable terrace. They have a fresh, seasonal menu of a daily soup, a collection of tasty-sounding sandwiches and salads, and a meal of the day. My friend found the meal of today (rice noodles with a meat sauce) a bit heavy for her taste, but most of the rest of the options are fairly light. My salad with blackened chicken, feta cheese, walnuts, and maple vinaigrette was just right for lunch on a hot summer day. We had a small bowl of gazpacho to start as well, which was unusually spiced and good. They have what looks like a nice by-the-glass wine list, but the work waiting for me in the afternoon kept me from sampling it. So I opted for a limonata, which was especially refreshing when the sun started hitting my back. They're mostly a weekday lunch place, opened Monday-Friday. But they occasionally do events, and I am curious to check out their weekly Thursday 5 a 7. I spied a few moving plates of the house gravlax served with baby potatoes and arugula on my way out. I think I've already found my next lunch at Daylight Factory.

A: Hate to have to update my review like this, but the past TWO times I've eaten here, I've gotten violently ill immediately afterwards. Ikes hates me!

A:
Per usual, my stars are for food not ambiance. Food is the most important thing here. Where is your sense of adventure folks? I've been going to Le's for about 6 years now. It's located inside of Asian Corner Mall, formerly Tryon Mall if anyone can remember that far back. ACM happens to have the worst parking lot in all of Charlotte. You must dodge the large crater-like potholes as if they were land mines. These aren't normal potholes. They're the kind that your car could get swallowed by. Better yet, think of it more as off roading. Once you safely make it across the field of craters, beware, for when you step out of your vehicle there may be a few used syringes tossed about. You don't want to step on those. Some of you may think I'm kidding. I'm not. It's bad. Push through. Those little flavor bombs of awesome are worth it. Tips: cash only, order #6, everything has a number, they also have bubble tea, bread is awesome. Again, order #6. The end.
