There is NOTHING like a Cosmic Cantina burrito with a side of chips and queso! I first had Cosmic Cantina in 2001 and it's STILL just as delicious as it was back then. I have never been disappointed by their food or their service. Even if you don't live in Durham, you HAVE TO give it a try. It's worth the drive!

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.
