Had a great experience at cosmic. Plenty of vegan options (cheese and pea protein chorizo, not just veggies!!) and good margaritas.
Food came out quick and was delicious and fresh. Workers were kind.
As other reviews say, it's kind of a hidden entry with a dark stair case you ascend for entry.

I really forgot how much of a gem this place is! Late night hours, great food, great prices, amazing service! You really just can’t beat it.
I started coming in high school and thought it was the coolest place EVER! I still think it is 8-10 years later. Love their food as it is very fresh and the portion sizes are great. Much better than any chain where you can get similar items.

Cosmic Cantina is a Mexican restaurant that serves exceptional dishes, including the acclaimed steak burrito and delectable chicken burrito. The atmosphere is described as "super special and cool," making it a popular late-night spot. Customers praise the tasty chips and queso, as well as the shareable nachos. The giant chicken burrito is very large—easily a pound—and many customers look forward to returning. The steak burrito is highly recommended, with a special mention of the salsa verde that adds extra flavor. Vegetarian options are available, including vegetarian burritos, veggie quesadillas, vegan plates, green burritos, and tofu burritos, which are all vegan as-is. The restaurant is known for being a Durham staple, with a long-standing reputation and friendly staff, some of whom have been working there for over 20 years. The chimichangas are considered unmatched, but customers should be prepared to feel very full after eating. While the restaurant is always convenient and offers lots of vegan options, it is not wheelchair accessible and requires climbing a long staircase. Despite parking challenges, the delicious burritos and lively atmosphere make it worth a visit, and many customers enjoy trying the whiskey shots to go with their meal.
