La Pelusa: Reviews & Ratings

They were friendly from the moment we walked in until we walked out! The food was the best Mexican cuisine I've had in a while. I wish I would've taken pictures before we started eating, but the portions are generous and we couldn't finish our plates. I highly recommend the chimichanga and my husband loved the shrimp torta. We will definitely be back!

Excellent service and friendly staff. The restaurant was very clean and the food was great. Don't be fooled by the outside of the building if you're a first time customer. The whole experience is gonna be great.

Our go-to place for great service and the kind of Mexican food that hasn't been over-americanized. Love the nopales served with tacos and their taqueria salsa verde is on point!

Food was fantastic. Very generous portions. Best tamales in the area. ACP also best in the area. Chimichanga large and delicious. Can't wait to try more menu items. Atmosphere... Very limited seating as this is a very small building but the food quality is well with the visit.

With a humble appearance on the outside, this restaurant is a not-quite-hidden gem for those going through the area (it's only about 4 minutes off I-40) and locals alike. On the inside, it has a more relaxed atmosphere compared to other Mexican-style restaurants around here, but it doesn't take away from its authenticity at all. A note: bring a big appetite. The meals here (especially during dinnertime) are generous and are likely to feed multiple people while the prices are excellent for the amount served.

Hand down the best steak torta in all of Iredell county. From the freshness of the bread they use and the juicy steak in the middle, it’s a must have.

Great food in a festive, organic, and authentic atmosphere! My wife loved the burrito supreme. I enjoyed the salsa verde on cheese enchiladas. Well worth seeking out!
