“Very good food, it's just that it's a little expensive and they also take a while... I recommend that if you can get the number, call to order because at lunch time it gets crowded there, some of us who are short on time, because we have to eat with a price?? ?????“

“I eat here every single time I’m in the area! The patacone sandwiches are phenomenal! And if you’ve never had Ecuadorian Horchata … you must try it! Forget everything you know about other horchatas - this one is a floral, citrusy tisane dream (best served hot imo). Service is always fast and friendly. Lots of seating. I only wish this was closer to home haha“

“I don't feel the need to write a review often, but for this place (and my love of great tacos) I will do it. These guys make the real stuff, fresh tortilla, house made salsas and chips and etc, great flavors, nothing fancy, just traditional done well. REALLY good tacos (working my way through the rest of the menu, but I am confident it is solid). The chef/owner is pretty much always there and you can tell he cares about his food. It's always delicious IMHO. I have lived in LA-CA, Central America, spent a lot of time in Cuba and I am GF so I eat (and have eaten) A LOT of tacos. These are really solid tacos. These are my favorite in Durham.“
