Been here several times and we absolutely love it. It’s as authentic to traditional Mexican cuisine as you would find in the area. If you like guac you need to try their homemade one. Hands down the best! Their house hot sauce is delicious as well as their house salsa.
That said….and here’s why they’re only getting 2 stars from me (subject to change) is because with the house guac they bring out just 3 tortilla chips. Of course they bring the basket of chips with the salsa when you sit down, but ok….I am going to munch on the chips with both the guac and salsa. Pretty normal thing to do and honestly we do that with just the chips and salsa. They oftentimes ask if you want extra chips for your salsa and although we ran low, it was at that moment when I asked the one amigo to grab some extra chips for me to take home. He said, let me check with your server because we usually charge extra. I said, well usually you offer a refill of chips and you didn’t, but ok whatever. I looked at my wife and said how odd he’d say that to us, especially since we are basically regulars there. Then our server (bald amigo) very nice guy, gives me a slight attitude when I asked for a handful of extra chips to take home. Again, I looked at my wife and said SERIOUSLY!? It’s a few chips and we just left a decent tip. I know it sounds petty, but I live my life out of principle. I felt that was just somewhat tasteless on Toros Cantinos to have given us an attitude simply asking for some extra chips, especially since they never offered to refill the chips we had almost none of left. Unfortunately being I live life out if principle means I won’t be going back unless the owner offers an apology, no matter how good the food is. There’s always the awesome Spanish food truck next to Valero I can go to.
If the owner sees this comment, I truly hope you train your staff better, especially as a new business in our area. It’s not like I asked for drinks to go or anything extra but a small handful of tortilla chips after spending $55 on our entrees plus a nice tip. Any other Spanish restaurant would not charge more for a handful of chips to go with a $9 guac appetizer.

Delish food. Service was excellent even during their rush hour. Our party (of 10) had fajitas, queso, chicken nuggets, flautas and protein bowls with not one complaint. Highly suggest!

We got a Togo order but have been there before. Normally we eat in. The food I got was not even warm. The chips were stale. The El Pastore quesadilla barely had any meat. For over thirty dollars they need to do much better. We will not consider this location next time.

I literally cannot explain how great this place is. We’re from east of the triangle and came out to pick something up, realized we were starving, and looked for whatever was close by… we did not expect to find this in Mebane. I was impressed from start to finish. Not only was the food PHENOMENAL (literally the best guacamole I’ve ever had in my life, including my visit to Sayulita, Mexico—- yes this is as shocking to me as it must be to read), but the service was quite literally perfect. Our server, Brandon, was so attentive to every single need and also made me feel good about the items I was ordering, which idk why, but it helped the experience be even more positive lol. The food and margaritas were so much better than I could have guessed (or found near Raleigh), but the fact Brandon was so great made us realize we need to make the hour+ drive back out just for this restaurant.

We stopped here unexpectedly because traffic was backed up and we were hungry. The salsa and chips were so good and fresh! We ordered nachos. They were great! The food was over all, fresh and real!!

I placed an order online, Nachos with stake and a side of beans and some salsa. The chips were horrible, from the flavor, very thin and all soggy. the salsa same thing flavor not good and has to many spices…The only good thing was the beans, the stake was ok.
They did ask (on the order form) if I needed silverware and I said yes.. there was none on the bag, same with napkins. They did charge for this and that… but from the time I showed up and they told me my order wasn’t ready… (online said it was) to know everything is inside the bag..

I do not like Mexican food. My husband loves it! We both love this place since we first tried it on Fathers day and have come back twice in the 6 weeks since our first visit. Joel LOVES the birria every way they serve it. I love the grilled vegetables and black beans, the quesadillas and tacos. Plus, they saute mushrooms if I ask. And, let me tell you, the cheese dip is the best you will ever try! I eat it over EVERYTHING and then order a cup to take away. Truly, I could be happy with just the cheese dip and tortillas and dessert. We've tried both the fried ice cream and the skillet cookie, and we can't decide which is better. We do agree that the cookie needs a second scoop of ice-cream to be perfect. So, be sure to order yours that way! The drinks are both gorgeous and delicious, and the variety is head-spinning. Aaron is a terrific waiter who is smart with suggestions and patient with requests. This place is off the highway, but not too far, and it's oh so good!

Great food, fun vibe, and killer drinks. Every dish was fresh and full of flavor. The margaritas were strong and on point but Michelada stole the show. Service was fast and friendly, and the energy in the place made the whole experience even better. A solid go-to for a casual night out or weekend hang.
FYI photos don’t do justice to the taste and flavors.
This place needs double the stars on here. In my top 3 best in the US for Mexican food. Not your ordinary run of the mill place like most. Definitely worth trying.

2nd time here and we loved the prompt service, casual atmosphere & ofcourse the delicious options. Fatima was wonderfully attentive and was very accommodating for my vegetarian option - mushroom & onion quesadilla. The spicy steak tacos was on point. Definitely getting this next time. A couple of dos xx to complete the meal! Highly recommend and will be back.

We had a celebratory dinner with 18 friends on a busy Friday evening. The service was excellent and the server, Esteban, and his crew were outstanding. Every order was perfect and delicious.
