I was going to have a bbq party for my daughter’s second birthday and due to the rain I had to call an audible. (Though I don’t recommend making a party reservation within 72hrs.) The staff made the accommodations for my 25+ party in their back area. We had the whole space to ourselves!! It was awesome! The kids were able to run around, the area was very clean. The staff was professional and helpful. You must try their chicken and beef enchiladas. The party went through 50 of them easily! Great experience will come back again.

Best part about staying in Raleigh was getting this carry out. The tamale was so incredible it was smothered in some sauce that just melted me in my chair. I got some big platter combo that had a tostada, Taco, enchilada, burrito, beans and rice. The burrito wasn't the most to my liking but everything else I ate was some of the best Mexican food I've ever had in my life. And I'm half Mexican and have had homemade authentic, Southwest Detroit authentic, and Mexican food down from the LRGV. If I'm ever down in North Carolina again I'm my life I will definitely try detouring here again

Me and a colleague came here for dinner during our work trip to Raleigh. I haven’t had truly authentic Mexican food since moving from the San Francisco Bay Area a few years ago, and this brought me right back. The entire staff were very friendly and welcoming.
But the food….wow....Fresh, flavorful, and delicious. My colleague normally hates eating out because he’s extremely picky, and even HE was complimenting them non stop the entire walk back to the hotel and ranting why we found this gem on our last night and not three nights earlier.
Last but not least the price.....Night before we made a quick run to subway 2 blocks away. Had 2 subs, each with a drink and side came to $37.00 We had 2 full meals here, Veggie Fajitas and combination plate (1 enchilada, 1 burrito and 1 chile releno) got some chips and amazing salsa to start and paid $25 plus tip. This should be a no brainer. This place is an absolute GEM! Thank you and we will be back.

Loved our food and service. But most of all the company. My Mama and I picked my son up from GMS for dinner and returned him to school before our big day at the NC State Fair tomorrow.

While its located in a strip mall that has seen better days, the service is fast, the tortilla chips and salsa are never-ending, and the menu is expansive. I've never had a bad meal here. I especially like that my husband and I can eat dinner here for less than $30. What's not to like?

Went for the first time 2 weeks ago and ended up getting salmonella. I got the beef fajitas and they were cooked well done but I believe the cook didn’t wash their hands or cross contamination happened in order for me to get salmonella. Won’t EVER eat here again or any mexican place for a while!

Clean & Chill restaurant. Came in for a quick lunch in the middle of errands and the staff was very polite and let me charge my phone. The food was also really good, i had the (los tres amigo with jalapeños and sour cream) and it was very good. I'd most definitely come again 💯✌🏾
Kind of a hole in the wall atmosphere-wise, but the food is excellent and service quick. Definitely recommend for travelers not wanting a “chain” place. (We were at a nearby hotel and had dinner there before an event downtown.)
No accesible restrooms. Gave me the restroom that's out of order. The "handicap" restroom is too small that not even a "normal" person fits. Food is not authentic at all. Don't have much variety.
