I recently went to eat at Lady Gold Tacos. If you're hoping for an authentic meal, this is not the place. I ordered the tacos that come with the pork adobo and a side of rice and beans. The pork adobo was actually pretty good and could only maybe use a little more salt. The tortillas are store-bought and ripped before I could lift the tacos so I don't know if they're being cooked properly. The side of rice and beans was not good. The rice was mushy and the beans were dry. They both tasted precooked and canned, respectively. There is an option to order individual tacos at over $4 per taco, which is not worth the price.
The atmosphere I did enjoy. The bartenders are kind and the vibe is good. I left in the end because it started smelling like urine inside, so not sure what problem is going on.
I may return to try their drink menu, and perhaps try another menu item. Once whatever issue is causing the urine smell is fixed, of course.

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.

We were a little leery as the outside looked odd but we are so glad we went inside. Had the quesadillas and nachos and both were amazing. Mixed drinks were spot on. Definitely a place that makes our list.

Was ignored. Didn't even eat. Good location. Not enough workers or just bad service.

Food menu is cool, $10 for everything on the food menu.

Food was very fresh and good! Everything was $10 off the menu when I went. Would recommend for a Saturday late dinner and chill!

Man the vibe food and everything is just amazing 👏 🤩
Taco place is located inside of a bar. Simple menu. Straightforward pricing. Delicious! My only caveat is that there is a tonnnn of rice on the side for some dishes. Thought it was interesting other dishes have Fritos as their side. About a 15 minute wait for two dishes, I think.

Literally my new favorite food place in Durham. Pure ghetto-grunge-casual goodness. First time I went I got the two taco plate with Birria beef for $10 (all plates are $10) and a shot of whiskey for $7. I watched something like cannonball run on the backdrop of the bar and thought I had died and straight up gone to heaven.
Second time I got an even better item, the Birria beef burrito, served with Fritos corn chips. Good lord. This was like an even bigger bite out of heaven, topping the first $10 plate I tried.
Still haven't tried the breakfast options but can only believe they will be next level as well.
