Takeout experience is atrocious. A full hour wait for this "soup" and an order of the Mexican Flag enchiladas. Seriously disappointed to have opened this $4 bowl of soggy tortilla strips. The bowl is like 2 inches in height and about 4 inches in diameter, tiniest thing. They don't offer a larger version so we ordered two. Offered my wife a bowl for her "soup" prior so they could be combined prior to opening, that would've been entirely unnecessary.

Best menu item: The Mexican Flag. Delicious and colorful. And they have an utterly fantabulous tequila list! Tequila is gluten free FYI :)
Always a great meal! We drive from Durham because the Gonza there so sadly closed. Well worth the drive. Great ambiance, super fun. Ask to try their homemade hot sauce! Amazing. Highly reccomend the Mexican Flag.

Gonza continues to be the best Mexican restaurant in Raleigh. The owner, Gonza Salamanca, visits every table to make sure you are satisfied with your total dining experience. This restaurant is consistent in every aspect...servers, food quality, presentation, beverages and deserts. It is family-friendly and a neighborhood treasure.

Where to start?! In the past I worked at Gonza for over 3 years at all locations! Although, I no longer work there, I still go out to eat at Gonza’s all the time. Gonza is my favorite restaurant in the whole world! It is super clean, the workers are awesome, the atmosphere is hands down the best in Raleigh, and the food is delicious! My personal favorite dishes are Chilaquiles Verdes, Enchiladas Con Mole, and the Mexican Flag. Seriously though, I have tired everything on the menu and can tell you honestly that everything is so good you can’t go wrong with anything! I recommend this place to everyone I know. If I have family in town we are 100% stopping by Gonza to have a great time!
Delicious food and outstanding service. Even for a takeout order we were treated with the utmost respect and attention.Dietary restrictions: Request for no onions was honored

This is the best restaurant in North Raleigh and my family's favorite. We eat here more than anywhere else in town and it never disappoints. The food is excellent, the ambiance is excellent and the service is excellent. I highly recommend!

Great food, good service and an authentic atmosphere but it was a struggle to find parking. The parking lot was completely full and I eventually had to park quite a distance from the restaurant.

We've eaten at Gonza's a bunch of times - clearly they've taken it up a notch since our last visit. The food was absolutely outstanding! Everyone at the table was raving about it.

Gonza Tacos y Tequila is one of my favorite places to eat - mainly because the food is so delicious! The enchiladas are different from any others that I've had anywhere. I highly recommend them. The restaurant ambiance is inviting, dimly lit, and relaxing. The staff is polite and accommodating. There is nothing more that I could want in a perfect date-night location.
