I was in town for a night. Check this place out. Wow, go!!! The pork belly tacos are phenomenal! Sarah took care of me from the bar. And she makes a dang good margarita. It was a Wednesday night and was slow. But I was thoroughly impressed the hospitality this “out of towner” received from Sarah and all the staff! I will be back!

Stumbled upon this place walking from the parking garage back to Hampton Inn. My co-workers mentioned it’s a lively area in the evening. I just wanted dinner before bed. Fish Tacos are my favorite and the chalkboard menu outside caught my eye. Haha. Bartender, Sarah A., is attractive and friendly. Alejandro was hosting Hammered Trivia. I have to work super early otherwise I’d stick around for fun Taco Tuesday festivities! If you’re in the area drop in. Limited Bar Menu with just the right offerings.

Good food, great drinks, friendly bartender. Try it out. Too quiet on a Tuesday night but hope it sticks.

TERRIBLE. This was a pork belly taco. It tasted awful. Like BBQ’d lard. Literally the quesadilla and chicken taco was gross too. The queso seemed to be a purred bean base with some nacho cheese. I’ve ordered a lot of food and this was the worst.wish I could give 0 stars.

Tacos gave me and my friend stomach pains the rest of the night. You would be better off just trying to make them at home.Bar itself and bartender were fine.

Since Blowfish hired new management, I must say this spot is lively and fun each and every time I visit. The bartenders are friendly and attentive (and good-looking!! ). The drinks are generous and the menu continues to expand and excite!! The music also is on point. I give it an 11/10. Great job, staff!! We ❤️ Blowfish.Sincerely,The folks on the other side.

Jay and Mike run an awesome establishment. One of the best kept secrets in Raleigh. They legitimately have some of the best tacos in Raleigh and it's also a sick club. The fried flounder tacos are next level and the shrimp quesadilla is a life changer. Come here. You won't be disappointed.
The first place that I tried in 2022 was review no 2022. My friends and I stopped in to check this taco bar out and had an okay time. First impressions were that this was more of a bar than a restaurant. I had a beer and margarita and they were both served in plastic cups. We started off with chips and salsa and queso for the table, I didn't care for the salsa. Next I tried two tacos with rice and beans. The rest of the table also chose this. For the tacos you pick your protein, style and tortilla. I like the amount of options but the food was just okay, it's more of a late night spot to me.
