Great-tasting authentic Mexican food!…read more I had two tacos and some pinto beans. (under $10) The tortillas tasted homemade and had that slightly grill, char taste to them. The chicken was ground up into small, crispy bites. The topping was like a pico de gallo without tomatoes and the hot sauce that came with them was absolutely perfect, spicy but not too hot. I love spicy but I think for most people the spice level would be just right. At some point soon I'll try the tamales...they have a fairly large menu with meat and seafood dishes. It was very noisy inside because a soccer game was on and it's Father's Day today but there's lots of outside seating and even though it was hot, it was still a very pleasant experience. Highly recommended! These tacos were better than some I've had at beach-side restaurants in San Diego.

When I went, the mojitos were on special for $6, so I of course had to order it. It was good, just a tad on the sweet side. For the app, we got the queso with chorizo and it was delicious. We also ordered the fajitas for two. It was HUGE and had an array of different meats - chicken, steak, chorizo, shrimp, and carnitas. Sadly most of the meats were overcooked and not as enjoyable to eat. La Victoria is still one of the better Mexican food spots I've had in Raleigh so far (especially as a native Texan growing up around incredible Tex-Mex). Worth a visit!

When you arrive there is plenty of parking around the restaurant. Walking in you'll feel like you've been transported to a trendy, upscale, and casual comfort atmosphere. For appetizers we ordered the dip sampler which had the queso, guacamole, and bean dip. By far my favorite dip was the queso. For my entree I ordered the steak and shrimp fajitas. The steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly, and the shrimp was a little overcooked but tasty. Also, the flour tortillas tasted like they were made in house. This is probably some of the closer Mexican food I'm use to in Texas. Definitely check this restaurant out if you are in the Cary area.

I was on a mission for lengua (beef tongue) tacos, and Esmeralda Grill popped up at exactly the…read moreright time. Let me just say: my wish was fulfilled. We ordered two taco platters, loaded with an incredible lineup: Cachete -- Pork Cheek Barbacoa -- Braised Beef Carnitas -- Pork Buche -- Pork Stomach Chorizo -- Mexican Sausage Lengua -- Beef Tongue Both platters came with rice and beans, and everything was packed with authentic flavor. The lengua was exactly what I was looking for--tender, flavorful, and absolutely worth the search. The cachete and barbacoa were equally impressive, while the carnitas, buche, and chorizo rounded out an outstanding taco lineup. And of course, a large horchata to complete the experience. Esmeralda Grill delivers the kind of Mexican food that makes you stop and appreciate every bite. Authentic flavors, generous portions, and a menu that gives you plenty of reasons to come back. Definitely one of the best Mexican joints in Cary--and easily my favorite find in town. 5 stars without hesitation.

They usually aren't very busy, so sometimes I think they forget about us and follow up service get slow. I love that there's something to eat in that plaza besides fast food, but I haven't been too impressed with anything and most importantly I think it's way overpriced. Oh, and I went with young kids Monday and Heard some pretty graphic lyrics in the music. Not a huge deal, but if you're going with young kids, I don't feel like hearing the F word while you're reading your taco salad, you might wanna avoid it anyway.

The service is quick and friendly, I've tried a bunch of their food but it was always non vegetarian options.

I generally never order tacos at such restaurants but this one really hit the spot ! The price is a little higher than the other Mexican restaurants, but it does make up for it with the ambience. While we did pay and park in front of the restaurant they did have a sign for validation if you park at the back.

While the food is on the pricey end, the portion sizes make up for it and the quality is there. On my first visit, I tried their Tres Amigos dish. It is basically a mix grill with shrimp, steak and chicken. It came with rice, beans, and veggies. The meats were super flavorful and the rice and beans were actually great! I hate it when a Mexican place just dumps overcooked rice and goopy beans and calls it a day. The veggies were very clearly frozen and came from a bag, wasn't all that excited by that. I think arroz con pollo (ACP) is one of the simplest, yet, most delicious Mexican dishes. It is chicken, cheese and rice, how can you mess that up? Mamacita does their ACP justice. The chicken is tender, there is a nice balance between the cheese and rice, and it is just a great combination altogether. They also do a decent job with their birria tacos (although wasn't the biggest fan of the consume) and their churrasco plate. They even top it with a legit salad, not just the chopped lettuce and tomato. In the end, I am always full and satisfied with the meal. I certainly think this is worth a visit. Oh, I forgot to mention everyone's favorite thing about the place, they have a robot server! Definitely very cute.
