The San Jose Margarita was a 10/10. The Birria Burrito was also a 10/10. We wanted to sit outside, and the server quickly put together two tables by the lake for us. Service was great and attentive. They have the best salsa! It's my favorite! And their queso is incredible. They are on the other side of Raleigh for me, but worth the drive.
