Macado's is a solid choice for a meal in the University area.  The ambiance is sports/pub-ish.  Dark wood covers the bar and tables with flat screen TV's scattered throughout the restaurant.  We went during a down-time at about 2:00.  Our server was friendly, and our food was delivered correctly and relatively fast.  As a vegetarian, I will say that they menu is not very friendly.  I really had to look for veggie options.  I selected the portabello quesadilla and it was terrific.  I was skeptical about broccoli being in my quesadilla but I took a chance and really liked it.  I also had a side of coleslaw which was a bit unusual.  It almost has a mesquite flavor to it.  It wasn't bad but I am a more traditional fan.  Friday's they also offer half price glasses of house wine.  I fully took advantage of some pretty decent cab.  \n\nOverall, this is a casual, good, decently priced place.  Oh, and UNCC athletes get a discount!
