Tried this place out after shopping at Trader Joe's next door and had a great and quick meal! I got 3 quesabirria tacos. The tacos came with rice & beans and 2 salsas for $12.99. The food came out within 5 minutes of ordering, probably less, and tasted fresh and hot. The tacos hit the spot and I have no complaints. This was probably the fastest I've ever gotten my food anywhere. There's plenty of seating inside, a bar to order cocktails if you want, and a salsa/toppings bar for your tacos. The host was kind and the menu features various taco, quesadilla, burrito, and rice bowl options. I would come back! read more

I highly recommend eating here!!! I knew I wanted an Al Pastor taco and I was eyeballing the picture of this Quesabirria on their menu! Well, a taco is a taco and of course my Al Pastor was delicious but I loved the Quesabirria! It's a fried taco with shedded steak and gooey cheese and a dipping sauce. It's great with or without the sauce! And they make a kick @ss margarita, too! read more

Chido Taco, We came back to you so my older one could experience this place while home for winter break. We ordered the vegan tacos with cactus and peppers, shrimp tacos, and the quesabirria and yes, they even offer chicken broth for dipping, not just beef. Everything was beyond delicious. My favorite cozy corner was available again, which made it feel comfortably informal and welcoming. The woman at the register was incredibly kind. They initially brought us beef quesabirria instead of chicken, but once we mentioned it, they replaced it immediately. To top it off, she brought us chips and warm queso to make up for the mix-up...pure class. We'll absolutely be back. read more

Overall: A fun Mexican spot that I can see becoming a regular spot for me. Food: The burrito was packed and very filling. Tasted great and the salsa bar allowed me to try it with a variety of flavors. Service: The service here is pretty fast. Ambiance: This is a casual sit-down place. Decent amount of seating inside, but the chairs aren't the most comfortable. In a pretty busy area next to the Trader Joe, so parking might be a hassle. read more

This place is a cool and fun concept for a taco place. Reminds me of when I lived in El Paso. I got the Birria Taco meal. It was delicious. The consommé was flavorful and was a treat in itself. The flavors shine here along with the salsa bar. You know a taco place is legit when you see that. read more

Back again and I'm still so confused. I tried it again after not going in a while earlier this week I got two grilled fish tacos with chips + queso. The fish was really good however, all the toppings were so annoyingly large, making it hard to eat. The taco practically fell apart. This taco would be better if they put a little bit more thought into maybe slicing things thinner or just being intentional about how a person will eat it. However, I went tonight for a shrimp ACP, the shrimp was gummy and tasted like it was boiled and just thrown on top with no seasoning. The whole bowl was pretty bland. I'm very happy. I got an extra side of chips and queso. Honestly, the thing that keeps me coming back is the chips because they have this special seasoning on top. That is so delicious. I've never had anywhere, but they're so skimpy with the seasoning now. Last week, I probably had two chips that had seasoning and this order. I have absolutely none. At this point, I have no reason to go back anymore so I probably won't be visiting. It's such a shame this place has so much potential but maybe they just need better management. I think this is the type of place you only really go for drinks and queso. read more

I loved my experience at Chico Taco! The inside felt like an upscale taqueria and the salsa bar was expansive -- all salsas were delicious. I ordered the ACP and it was great. Portion size to price ratio was more than ideal. I can't wait to come back and try their birria tacos! read more

Chido Taco - ACP Grilled Chicken - Mexican Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Living in Oakland I learned what a good taco should taste like. This was not that-at all! The skimpiest looking tacos ever. The Baja fish taco was laughable. One thin sliver of dry fish overwhelmed by veggies. Two for $11. Robbery. The tripa taco was worse. Tiny portion and greasy. Oy. It's the same service you get at McDonald's (albeit it friendlier) yet the register suggests an 18% tip. What?!. The store has fun decor but really that's all. This is my second visit. No need to return read more

First time here at Chido Taco. I may say, I wish I knew about this Mexican joint. The service is excellent, seems the whole familia is running the place and it was amazing. It's a food truck authentic taco stand in a sit-in restaurant. We ordered the "Quesabirrias tacos with black beans and Mexican rice. I inhaled the whole plate. Very home cooked meal like. Mama is super behind the counter and amigo is knocking things out at the hot burner. I felt like I was in Tijuana, Mexico for a minute. The place is authentic and it's no "Taco Bell now". Thank you crew. We will come back for other items in the menu!!! read more

Delicious! I have mostly UberEats it for this place and have been satisfied for the most part. The only complaint would be the tortillas are not homemade, yet all things considering good being store bought. The yummy salsa bar (4 different ones) with all the fixings for tacos made freely available. Even radishes and cucumbers for the extras made a delightful experience. The aguas frescas are homemade not from concentrate nor from powder (which again is important for the cultural experience)! The chips and guacamole were amazingly fresh to my taste buds! Overall this Mexican gal is satisfied and now can venture into Trader Joes next door with a happy belly read more

Really great margaritas, tacos, and salsa! We drove here from Durham for their one dollar margarita deal on national margarita day, it was absolutely worth it!

I enjoyed the Quesabirria tacos. Very satisfying. I love that they offer light beer. I enjoyed the corona light. The rice and beans weren't served fresh. Very cold to me. The broth wasn't needed for the tacos they were already very greasy. I was uncertain as a dine in if I should be seated and someone would bring my food to me or not. read more

I came here for lunch on Friday and no one was inside so I ordered right away. I got the ACP chicken bowl. My food was ready in less than one minute . Now I've been to the Raleigh one several times before and I will say they both are different. The food presentation itself was lacking. They over did it with the queso in the bowl. They also use disposable bowls instead of a washable dish. Also it lacked some flavor that I'm use to when going to the Raleigh one. It's pretty inside and cashier was friendly but they missed the mark with a few things here. I'll stick to the Raleigh location. read more

After a very lengthy absence, I have returned to say something about Mexican food for the third time. This is my review of Chido Taco. Food: The food itself was really good. I got a burrito with fake chicken in it. The chicken was definitely just Gardein chik'n, but I enjoyed it. The price, however. For comparison, a burrito at my favorite burrito place, Moe's, costs fourteen dollars, and it comes with free chips and salsa. A burrito from Chido is seventeen dollars, and it doesn't come with chips. Not that the price necessarily ruins the experience, but it's something to consider. Service: The service was quick, and there were no mistakes. Easy enough to accomplish. Ambiance: On the positive side, there were the paintings you would expect in a burrito place. On the negative, though, the chairs were very uncomfortable, and the tables cram your legs in. Also, there was FOX News playing. Overall: 3.7/5 or 7.4/10 read more

The vibe here is pretty OK. They have a special on Mondays where you get the case of burritos for $1.99 each, which is great. There's an open bar with the toppings and vegetables that you would typically put on your birria. The cashier's name is Bertha and she's really friendly and makes things right if there's ever any issues with your order. I do recommend that you at least give this place a try. They also do you have a bar! read more

Chido Taco - BEWARE: READ MY REVIEW ! Quesabirria (1) Quesabirria Combo (3) - Mexican Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

I went with my beautiful gf after shopping at Trader Joe's. We wanted a quick snack, so we got chips and salsa, and a taco. Now, I understand the tacos are small but this was barely a taco honestly. I got asada and it was barely any protein. Additionally, we got chips and salsa and all the chips were broken so we were eating crumbs. We've been to the Raleigh one and it was much better. I had to convince my gf they were the same spot. See ya never Cary location! read more

Chido Taco - Broken chips, did all the decent ones (wasn't many) - Mexican Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

I always get the same thing here, and somehow it tastes different every time. I'm not sure if the chefs change sometimes. But it's all good! Just the ratios of cheese and meat and such to everything else varies a lot. I'll probs come back sometime and try something else. Their hot sauce bar is pretty cool. However, the tables can be a little sticky sometimes. The ambiance is fine. read more

I give that a thumbs down. read more

Location: The location was clean and well-suited for the area. Good amount of parking. It replaced the location of the old Tijuana Flats near Trader Joe's. Service: The service was lackluster. They were just there to take an order - nothing really more to it. Food: $71 dollars worth of food? Nah. The amount of food we got compared to the price - it wasn't worth it. There were a few dishes that we don't have pictured - where we asked for additional ingredients for an up-charge and didn't receive. Since we did take out, we didn't notice until we got home and the drive back wasn't worth the hassle - just chalk it to the game. The meat was a little on the drier side for us. On top of the matter - it was very slim on the amount of meat provided in each dish! The beans and rice had good flavor overall. Queso and chips - pretty good as well. The street corn - meh. Would we go back? Not sure. It wouldn't be the first choice and then again it could have been an off day. So - who knows - right? read more

Chido Taco's Cary location is open in the spot previously occupied by Tijuana Flats. My mom and I stopped in to grab lunch and had a good time. You order drinks and food when you enter then grab a seat either inside or outside. My mom and I both started off with a beer then I tried the house chida margarita. For food we split the queso dip + chips and tres leches cake then it was the baja fish tacos and elote asado for me and the combinada quesadilla for my mom. I think that the food and drinks at Chido are okay, it is a quick meal option. read more

Fantastic food. try the chicken soup!!! amazing. Best prices in town. Live this place!

First time at the Cary Chido Taco last night. It seems more spacious than the Raleigh location with same great food and drinks. Three of us ordered the Berry Pineapple Margarita which was delicious-- not too sweet, perfect amount of tequila and pretty, too! Husband ordered the spicy pineapple margarita which was tasty with a little bit of kick. Weather was perfect for sitting at a table outside so we enjoyed our margaritas awhile before we ordered food. We ordered a queso and chips to share --delicious. I ordered a carnitas bowl which was a good sized portion and flavorful. I love that they have a topping and salsa bar to spice up your entrees. Husband and son's girlfriend ordered the quesabirria platter and said they were delicious and son was happy with his ACP. Service was friendly and fast. Overall, a great night out. read more

We love authentic tacos & was very happy to see Chido open up at this location. It's quick serve, order at the counter & you can dress up your food at the condiment/ salsa bar. Overall the tacos were very good & served plain. The condiment bar had cilantro, onions, lime, radishes & several types of salsa with different heat levels. If you're expecting gringo style (i.e. with lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream & cheese) you'll need to order it separately. Seating area is a bit tight if it's busy since the tables are close together. The rope chairs are comfortable but expect to have gridmarks on your legs if wearing shorts...lol. read more

Great food. A little loud inside. Food came out quick. Has a toppings bar for tacos. I recommend the quesabarria. The rice and beans were good it was just cold (I think because they were busy). The consume with the barria was good and had great flavor. The portion sizes were great. read more

Casual atmosphere with good authentic music. The menu has great options that anyone can enjoy including a vegan taco option. Ordering is simple, you'll get a buzzer if you're eating in. I'll say, the base flavors of what we ordered needed something, couldn't pin point if it was just salt it lacked. There is a bar with toppings that complimented the food nicely. I'll be back to try a few other items on the menu. read more

I had three tacos, chicken, chorizo and beef tongue. Tacos are smaller like street tacos so three was the perfect amount for myself. All three were very good. I often get beef tongue after asking how they prepare. If you have never had that give it a try, done right it is very good. This was very tender and tasty. I maybe would have liked a bit of a grill char on it, but I will get it again. Service was friendly and fast and interior is clean and nicely decorated. They have a bar, so having a adult drink with your meal is an option. It would be nice for an after work beer and snack. read more

I love this place. I come here all the time and the customer services is outstanding consistent with their food and the way it's prepared I am In love with this location. Just a wonderful location and great experience. I love it here the Raleigh location sucks ! I would never order from there but this location is over the top and top tier!! Bertha is so sweet and she is amazing they need to keep her here. She is the reason why I come here !!! read more

Ate here for the first time on Monday... all I can say is wow! Food was super tasty. I got the Quesabarras and my son got the chicken Quesadilla. We also got chip and queso cheese. Everything was super tasty, meat was cooked just right, all the salsas were good. Staff was very nice, and restaurant was clean! The only complaint and I had to stretch was the salsa cups were a bit small, that is it! Portions were very generous and presentation was nice We will be back to try more of this menu!!! read more

If you are unsure what to get, you HAVE to try the torta cubano! The sandwich was huge, the bread was soft, and the flavor was unmatched. I'm a torta girlie and this was a 10/10 for me. We also tried the quesabirria and the pollo adobo quesadillas. The quesabirria was pretty good and I loved that I was able to add more onions, cilantro, and salsa from the toppings bar. The quesadillas were just okay and they charged a dollar to add sour cream to them. While the food was pretty expensive and most of the entrees don't come with sides, it is still a great place to grab a bite. The workers at the counter were super nice and the interior was vibrant. Also, they have a shaved ice machine for the drinks (which is the superior form of ice.) read more
