I have loved Centro in the past. Today was quite different. The guacamole and chips were $4.00 for a very small container of guac. The guac I get from the grocery store tastes better than the guac at Centro. I was really shocked.I also had some tacos that were average. I don't like that ordering is entirely on their app. They hardly interact with you at all and yet the app expects a 20% tip! I paid $17 for food that was very much like El Rodeo -- just average or less than average. I will just to to El Rodeo next time and save some $$$.

The food that we tried was not good, the Chicken in the mole was dry as cardboard and the enchiladas, the flavor were ok but the tortilla felt like it was from 1 month

Forgot to snap a pic before I dug in but omg !!! Steak bowl was delicious!! Steak was so tender and seasoned well! Sweet potatoes are a little spicy and also sweet! A perfect combination and balance! Really good overall! My partner got me takeout so idk about price/service/atmosphere! But the food was 10/10!!

Some of the best Mexican food in Triangle area for sure! This is a place to visit if you want to experience authentic, high-quality and fresh flavors. There are plenty of diverse and delicious menu items available. The ambiance is unique and has unforgettable city vibes. Can't wait to go back!

Amazing food, amazing staff, and amazing location! Centro is a great place to go if you’re looking for somewhere to eat in Downtown Raleigh. The food is great (especially the tacos), and its location on Wilmington Street makes it walkable from almost anywhere downtown!

Food and service both excellent. ? Our group was modestly large and this can be a challenge. Our server was timely and flexible, helpful with choices. Highly recommend the bowl!

Found the food to be very average. If you’re charging $10 for one taco during lunchtime, it better be the best taco I’ve ever eaten.. it was not. Service was also meh. Was pretty underwhelmed.

The food and drink here are amazing. Despite being forgotten this time by staff, I'd still eat here numerous times per month if I lived closer. I'll definitely return next time when I'm in town.

Extremely disappointed that the lunch menu has changed where what used to be 2 tacos plus a side of chips and salsa is now just one measly taco. It's delicious, but not worth $12.

Lunch menu has recently changed. Used to be a good deal, not so much now. Tasty, but a la carte pricing now. I can't spend dinner cash for lunch right now.
