"This place was recommended by a friend of mine for us to meet up and have dinner. I was not expecting this little gem in Locust but so glad that I now know about it. Food is amazing, as well as the service. The initial time we went my salad was messed up a few times and the waitresses were amazing in getting it fixed.Drinks are delicious (definitely try the Sangria), and the atmosphere was really nice. I have now been here twice, once for dinner and another for lunch. It is a nice place to go even when there is music playing, you can still enjoy a meal and great conversation. Thanks to our dinner waitress who was nice enough to give me her green pen before leaving for the night because my pack didn't come with a green one. I appreciate you being willing to laugh with our table and continue great service through the night.Definitely recommend but beware as my eyes here, tend to be bigger than my stomach can handle. I tend to always bring food home with me."

"UPDATE: April 2. 3024 We went back some months later and loved our second experience. We have been back several times now with no complaints. Food has been great and we now love this restaurant! First Review (during Covid): We decided to try a little Mexican restaurant we discovered while in Locust a few weeks ago, Mi Fuente Family Mexican Restaurant. Driving from Charlotte to get there didn’t take all that long since we were on the outskirts of Mint Hill. From the outside it looks somewhat run down, and could use a little love. Once inside we were met with a hostess who was wiping down the menus with a very strong sanitizer – it made me cough, but I was glad she was doing that. She, as well as the other servers and staff, were wearing masks. We were seated in a small room off of the main dining area. They did have tables and booths marked off for social distancing. It is still such a small room, and two couples came in not wearing masks, which made us cringe. We are in the high risk groups and so were those two couples, so we were wondering why they weren’t wearing a mask. We were seated in this small room first and it was nice and quiet, but once others were seated there, it became loud and very noisy. The chips came out first and the salsa was in small carry out containers. The salsa was not the best I’ve ever had, but certainly not the worst either. There was some flavor, but it was not spicy and certainly freshly made. I ordered the make your own combination with one taco and one enchilada, which came with rice and refried beans. My husband ordered the small shrimp fajitas, which also came with rice and beans. My dish was what you would get at any little Mexican restaurant anywhere around Charlotte, Mint Hill, Matthews… I loved the cheese on my taco, but the meat was cold and had it not been for the cheese, there would be no flavor. The rice was good and the enchilada was typical of these small Mexican restaurants. My husband’s fajitas came on the same plate as his rice and beans and just with the salad part and sour cream – no Pico de gallo or guacamole. It didn’t come out sizzling on a little hot skillet, and he said he would not get it again. We didn’t get refills on our drinks until we were finished eating, and my husband’s lemonade had something black floating around in the glass, so he didn’t drink his only refill. Not a total loss, though, as we stopped at Wal-Mart on the way home and did a little shopping. Sorry Mi Fuente, we won’t be back."

"I hate to give this review because these people have always been so very kind. But, with how much they charge now, the quality of food has not went up with the price. In fact, it's went down. I just bit into a hotdog that was like eating a stick of rubber.....so ultimately wasted money and food because I could not eat it."
