“This place is now our favorite Mexican restaurant! The food is fresh, delicious and served up beautifully. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The manager (Jose) also put together a meal for 11 people that we had at the house. It was a huge hit!“

“This place is great. The amount of food you get, how great it tastes, and customer service are excellent. Staff is very friendly and courteous

Parking: Lots of spaces but always crowded. Can be tough to find parking, or you can wait five minutes and someone’s always leaving“

“Sat inside tonight at the bar!! Got Jessica for the win!! She was awesome!!“

“Some of the most flavorful Mexican food I have ever tasted! Love the salsa bar. The staff is super friendly!“

“comida excelente y deliciosa“

“It’s food truck good! Honestly some of the better tacos I’ve had on the east coast, still a little over priced to what I’m used to but good tacos. Tbh just falls a little short of a nearby corner taco option. The taco was good. The Tamales, which I was most excited for, just felt like they were too mushy/ likely reheated right when ordered.
Is it my first choice in town? Nah. Is it far more authentic than 90% of town ? Absolutely. Will I be back? 100% but notably I’m very closer by.

Parking: No concerns at all. The spot they’re usually parked on Shotwell and 70 has 15+ spots and I’ve never seen it full“

“Awesome food, really made with care and probably the best quesadillas I’ve ever had . Must try.“

“Authentic food. This it not Americanized and I loved it. The food was amazing !!! Not your standard Mexican joint in Nc.

You do have to order at the counter and pick up your food at the window.

Portions are large and there is a cold bar full of toppings to choose from. Pickled onions, pickled cabbage, pico, salsa, tomatillo and more.

The dining area is spotless and very clean. People are super friendly.

Wow!“

“Pass by this place all the time. My daughter was next door getting her nails done & I decided to have a peek inside. It was quiet but a nice atmosphere. I placed an order for quesa birria tacos to go. My server was very friendly & welcoming, didn’t catch her name. Had an awesome conversation at the bar while I was waiting on my food. I was assured I made the right choice & was given a few other recommendations about their house made sauces. The recommendations were spot on. I was looking for something spicy and both the red sauce & green sauce were a hit. Definitely doubling back when I’m in the area.“

“Best, most authentic Mexican food around the triangle. If you havent tried it yet, make sure you come (former southern California re-home here). Simon, the manager, is awesome and always takes great care of us. Truly amazing food and fun atmosphere.“

“Food was delicious as usual and staff were all friendly and helpful. My favorite place to eat out.“

“The place might not be much to look at but the food is amazing. Service is fast and the place is clean. The prices are pretty cheap too comparative to other places. My friend and I both got a soda and 3 birria tacos a piece and it came up to $30.“

“Great outdoor seating area! Perfect if you want to sit outside and/or bring your dog for a quick bite. Our server brought out a water bowl and was friendly with our dog during our visit. The margaritas were huge and delicious. We will be back for more!“

“We had the pupusas and they were awesome! Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu. Customer service was spot-on and food came out quickly. New go-to spot!!“
