Dine on authentic North Carolina Mexican cuisine in this small town

The small town of Pineville, North Carolina is widely known for its Carolina Place Mall, a 1.1 million square foot shopaholic’s dream. But the sleepy town of Pineville is also notable for another reason: it has some of the best Mexican food in North Carolina. This is due, in part, to the fact that Pineville is heavily populated by Hispanics and Latinos – meaning the entire community can enjoy an abundance of delicious and authentic Mexican and Latino cuisine found here. There are so many restaurants offering the fare that it can seem like there is one on every corner. Here are a few:
