Jason was my server, very professional very easy to talk to Just made things that much more enjoyable thank you Jason. I’ll definitely be back here again soon hopefully!!“

“If you want to feel taken care of and at home, this is the place. Food is great, portion sizes are more than enough. I ordered enchiladas and a burrito because I am used to having to order that much and I was full after my first plate. What really makes me want to go back is their service. DoorDash was unable to pick up my order and the restaurant sent a driver to ensure I received my food. I've never had that happen and I think it really sets them apart from other restaurants. Great people, great food, try them out!“

“Wonderful experience- hosted a party at Mez. The GM Jamie , Dining Director April and their team were very professional and took care of all detail - printed personalized drink menu and allowed decoration setup, worked a prescribed menu with us. Drinks margaritas were great; appetizer quesadia ( veg), mini tacos ( veg and chicken) and enchiladas along with Churros/ chocolate + Tres Leches was excellent. Thank you Mez team“

“1 de mis lugares favoritos los huaraches son riquisimos✨️✨️✨️😉“

“Torta asada is excellent.“

“The Barbacoa Crunch wrap was one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten. Fantastic! I wasn't a fan of the fire roasted salsa, but my husband liked it. The queso was delicious with the chips. Grab a Mexican Coke and you won't be disappointed.“

“Great food, great staff that are always welcoming. Tried their Al Pastor burrito today and it was amazing.“

“Definitely the best Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to, the food is ready in 5 minutes after you order, very affordable.“

“I only got an online order from this place. 3 out 3 online orders have been consistent and of great quality. The taco salad with thr mango habenero chicken was awesome,but the heat wasn't there for me tho. It's ok (i have a high tolerence for spicy food). This time, i ordered the Burritodilla and i fell in love. This is better than Chipotle.“

“The absolute best place for authentic Latin food. We eat there weekly and the food and service has always been consistent. I highly recommend the tamales and pastor tacos.“

“I ordered the quesabirria it came with chips and queso. It was so good, it was a wait but definitely worth it. Everything was fresh even the specialty lemonade was good. I recommend 10/10!“

“If you don't speak Spanish take lessons now! This place is really good. They have six coolers with different drinks in them ranging from horchata to cucumber, pineapple and tamarind. Real food that's really good. I got three tacos of different kinds and they gave me four little containers for salsa from the salsa bar. I like this place. It was pretty crowded at lunch time.“

“This place soooo good. Huge burrito if you get the large. I was looking at the flan and couldn’t afford it at the time the owner gave me a free piece. Absolutely amazing. Highly recommend trying the birria burrito and add onions and cilantro.“

“We visited right after it was rebranded to La Santa & had lunch. The food was great & the service was as well. The manager came by to check on us during our visit. The music had all of the salsa & baccarat vibes. It wasn't too crowded because it was a rainy day which was perfect for us. We'll be back!“

“Tried for the first time tonight and I will definitely be returning!! Everything we tried was fabulous, from the queso to the sopes! They were so so Good!! Very friendly staff (attentive) we had three different people check on us! I would give them 10/10! Must try!!“

“Not quite a hole in the wall but i love it. Good drinks, simple menu, and a cool atmosphere. Nachos were on point. Rice bowl was good, frito bowl was good, and loved the tacos. Will be back.price was not bad either. Good small place to chill at night.“

“Everything here is great.“

“This is my favorite taco spot in the area, the patio is amazing and the food is incredible. High quality service as well.“

“Amazing burritos. The peanut salsa has good heat and is such an interesting addition to the burritos. Super fast service. Special shout out to Javier who was just an awesome guy. He really knew how to take care of customer and was a joy to meet“

“This was the first time my wife and I tried this spot and we loved everything about it! Before ordering, we were greeted by Arturo and he was super friendly and kindly offered to give us a quick rundown of the menu. The burritos and aguas frescas were phenomenal! We definitely got the cool New Mexico vibes while we were there. All in all, great experience and will definitely be back again soon to try other menu items!“

“Great food and excellent service!“

“Great food. Fast service with chips and salsa to snack on while you wait. Been eating here 20 yrs.“

“They are the best! I love this place!“

“As others have said this is a hole in the wall place, located at a gas station, next to a convenience store. It is small inside, but has several booths & tables. My server was friendly. Food came out promptly.
I ordered the Castillas De Puerco En Salsa Verde - Pork ribs in green sauce. They were great!
I highly recommend you try this place.“

“We each had the steak burrito and it was excellent especially with the salsa verde!! The Pina Colada was so impressive my daughter jumped from her seat to get it. We will definitely be back!“

“Very good food, the pupusas de queso are very delicious, very friendly staff as well. Will definitely come back to this place.“

“The service is friendly and the place and the food are familiar, I particularly like it a lot.

Parking: The parking lot is small but you can find a place.

Kid-friendliness: The place is not very big and it is suitable for children as long as parents keep an eye on them because there are a couple of somewhat high steps that could be dangerous for children if you as a parent do not pay attention to them.“

“We love this place, the service and the food excellent ! It's like going down the rabbit hole and coming out on the other side in Wonderland! Don't let the age or location of this building fool you. It's definitely worth a visit. This place has the best traditional tacos in all of Durham! The pineapple water is to die for, and each plate of tacos is served with pickled carrots and onions that will drive anyone mad! The staff is always so friendly and our food is always prepared promptly. This really is a family favorite and a must-have at least once or twice a month! I wish they would sell the pickled carrots by the gallon. LOL, they're that good!“

“They are absolutely delicious, tried the asada, Pollo, and barbacoa tacos. tacos came out hot and fresh and tasting great. highly recommend“

“Love this place and everyone working here is so sweet!

You better come here and drop the $4 for a pack of fresh corn tortillas, skip the stale store bought ones, it's worth the trip. They come out warm, I always end up eating some in the car on the way home 🤭.

I also like to get there assortment of dried chiles and spices here plus queso and crema, they also got some fresh produce like tomotillos and avocados and premade salsas, mole base, birria bombs, fresh chirrirones, and pan dulce. 🔥“

“We love this restaurant! Consistent quality and great prices!“

“The market is small and cramped,but, they serve the BEST fried pork belly by the pound that I've ever had. You have to try it. It's in the back of the store where the butcher is. Just use the tongs and the paper bag and get what you like. They also sell food like tamales in the front of the store.“

“I'm a huge Moe's fan & this is my favorite location! Everyone is always so friendly & welcoming, & they make sure you leave full of healthy food. Shout out to Jacob, Thomas, Josh, Kayla, & Leedys for their fantastic customer service. Thanks guys - it makes my day to get my lunchtime Moe's fix, & soak in the friendly vibes!“

“Súper recomendable, me encanto la comida y el ambiente, las chicas son muy amables!“

“Best tacos in Durham!! I have tried many, many food trucks and restaurants and these are by far my favorite. You can always tell an authentic taco shop by the quality of the limes they give you. The meats are succulent, the tortillas are made fresh every day. 12/10 ill be coming here often.“

“Great food, fast and super friendly service!“

“One of the best food truck experiences I've ever had! Absolutely fantastic food, and the service was amazing. So nice! I can't wait to go back.“

“I’d give it a 10 out of 5 if that was an option. The salsa is phenomenal, and the bean dip even more so. Everything we tried was absolutely amazing. And they were kind enough to give us sanctuary from the bad storm that popped up 45 mins before closing. They were cheerful and friendly. They made us feel right at home. Our new go to.“

“calid atmosphere, good service, awesome margaritas.“
