Stopped by for lunch on the go while I was in town for work. The gentleman at the counter let me know they had a Gazpacho soup special and it sounded good on a hot day. I was expecting a blended soup but was surprised to see a chunky cold mix like salsa but it was delicious! Really refreshing and good flavor. Served with a small side of chips. Also ordered 2 enchiladas and they were tasty, chicken and beef were flavorful and light on the cheese. Would visit again when in the area!

No frills Mexican food in Durham. They have the basics: tacos, burritos, and enchiladas. They are decent, but what sets this place apart is that they specialize in healthful ingredients, like spinach and other vegetables. I had spinach soft tacos, which were quite satisfying, but I wish they came with beans in addition to rice. Overall it provided what we needed, which was a satisfying meal on short notice where we could meet with family and have a nice conversation.

Roasted Vegetable burrito was fantastic. Healthy options which I usually have to go to New Haven for. They don't appear to offer combination plates (taco plate and enchila plate are seperate meals) The rice and beans are exactly as expected and all more enjoyable than Jalapeno Heaven. If you like soy cheese they offer it. I'm not sure which brand but you can call them. They are very nice. My burrito was assembled perfectly with the foil and everything it stayed together until the last bite like a food truck burrito. Sometimes at other restaurants vegetarian and vegan options add up to a soggy mess...this roasted vegetable burrito at the whole enchilada was actually a real meal and it didn't soak through the wrap or the foil at all.
Get both the red and the green sauce or have them put some in your burrito!! Years ago we tried the location in Guilford and I don't think we got the sauces, didn't realize that unless noted most dishes are fairly mild unless customized with seasoned meat options any of their great sauces.
Next time I would get extra pico and lettuce and get both of their hot sauces in there. It was so good that I used 3 itty bitty salsa cups myself. I didn't see what brand or if they make both but the green hot sauce tasted fresh and the red sauce tasted like Tapatio or Choula type hot sauce.
People who can't eat spicy food would be able to get a mild yet flavorful and filling meal here
Thanks for making dinner! We ate it so fast we didn't have time to take a picture. $30 for two people was awesome compared to some other options we were considering. Will be back!!

On a rainy Saturday night desperate for something to eat I stopped at the Whole Enchilada, a place I pass by regularly but never tried. To me Mexican food is comfort food and nothing warms you up like a warm burrito and some homemade hot sauce. I regret not stopping in here sooner. The staff is super friendly, the food was fresh and delicious. The prices can’t be beat! They have daily burritos specials and offer a full menu of delicious arepas, enchiladas, tacos and more. Here you can get a healthy filling meal, made with real foods cheaper than a McDonalds. If you’re in the Durham area looking for a quick delicious bite support local business and stop by The Whole Enchilada.
Very clean , food tastes so fresh, and the staff is super friendly!!! Highly recommend the pork burrito with chipotle' and the tres leches cake is the stuff dreams are made of. Wash it down with a lime jarritos and its all very affordable!!
Recommended dishes: Burrito

There's not much in Durham CT. So if you're in the mood for Mexican you can eat here. They skimp on cheese in their quesedillas--even when asking for and paying for double cheese. They are too expensive for what they provide.

Fantastic spot for quick & healthy Mexican cuisine. If you're after "Taco Bell" style food this aint it, expect more authenticity & cilantro
I'm in the area visiting my family often & TWE is one of our favorite options. The staff is consistently friendly & the food is consistently delicious, & I REALLY appreciate them having Tofu as an optional ingredient
