    The food was pretty good overall. The tacos were $4-5 each, which felt a bit pricey but they were still good and definitely satisfied the craving. The queso wasn't my favorite but I'd definitely come back to try other items on the menu. The restaurant was clean. I could tell the staff prioritized a clean environment for their customers, they were constantly cleaning while I was there. Even during peak lunch hour, I didn't have any trouble finding a table. The interior was so cute and nicely decorated. One thing to note -- if you're wanting the grilled birria tacos, you need to specifically order the quesabirria. I made the mistake of just asking for a birria taco and ended up with a regular one instead. Not sure if that's common knowledge, but I definitely won't make that mistake again

    Stopped by here for a quick bite to eat before a concert. The food came out super fast. By the time we grabbed our seat and sat down the pager started to go off. I really loved the tacos here. They felt and tasted very authentic compared to a lot of taco joints in the area. The taco sauces and topping were all pretty good too and tasted fresh. The tacos themselves were filled with flavor - they were perfectly seasoned and marinated. I really wanted to give this place 5 stars but there were an annoying amount of flies by the sauce and topping station. I had to protect my food from the flies as I tried to fill up the sauces.

    ACP Grilled Chicken

    Took the ACP was very filling added some veggies fr the salsa bar - onions, radish, cucumbers & cilantro (went a little overboard with the cilantro by mistake)! Their arbol sauce was delish! Service was quick and efficient.they have a nice bar area to sit at inside as well as outdoor seating that was nice and breezy (we sat outside). Wanted to try the baja fish tacos and a the birria tacos as well! Next time.

    This place was awesome! Great menu with lots of yummy choices. I got the bowl with carnitas and added a side of queso to it. So good and so much food for a good price!

    Have gone here many times and it's always delicious! Nice staff, delicious drinks. Both indoor and outdoor seating.

    Reasonably priced, fresh, hot, flavorful Quesaabirria & extremely tasty Cucumber Spicy skinny Margarita. Welcoming, helpful customer service. A few seats inside and plenty of tables outside.

    Now this spot looks bigger than it does If you're looking at it from the outside so just keep that in mind. They have a full bar in the back, the bar is predominantly tequila so just keep that in mind as well! I got a bunch of stuff, and everything I had was pretty good! You have to go and order your food and then wait till it gets ready and they'll call you up. They have a buzzer situation so just be aware that you probably should not go too far if you're waiting for food. Birria tacos - They were really good and they came with everything you needed to make it great. You could go up to the little bar that had cilantro and onions and all sorts of sauces to help doctor it up if you needed it to be doctored up. But these had a really good flavor and were super juicy even before you dipped them. Chips and queso - The chips were okay, they were chips lol. But the queso what's good. Nothing to complain about. The queso was pretty good. Chicken and Steak taco - So just because, I got a couple of tacos as well. The tacos are actually pretty decent honestly. The steak was a little bit more chewy and I would have liked it to be, but it still had a good flavor to it. The chicken was good as well. The chicken needed a little bit of sauce to it which was why the sauce ball is really useful! You got a lot of food and you get bang for your buck here So I could definitely see myself coming back.

    Food is fresh and tasty. Fast service. Reasonable prices. Has become a favorite when we are visiting the Raleigh area.

    What to watch for when looking for fabulous tacos and burritos
    Troy M.

    I walked in for my take out order of two burritos three fish tacos and some really cool barilla rolls. Society to sit down having a glass of horchata and inhaling some of the best Mexican street food I've ever been blessed enough to encounter! The place iss really upbeat inside and looks like it's got a fully stocked bar but I'm 40 ft away so I can't be sure. (It's been 12 years since my last drink but I could definitely see throwing back in this place every night if I were still drinking!) This food is some next level stuff! If I could give it six stars I would! The service was astounding and the staff is very friendly. Make it a point of getting down here to try some of the best prepared food in existence (IMHO)

    Returned for dinner and had another great experience. Forget the fish tacos - the new move is the braised beef quesabirria. Queso is still fire, too.

    Taco Tuesday win. The al pastor tacos had pineapple on top which added just the right amount of sweetness. The corn tortillas held up nicely and didn't fall apart. Service was super fast and friendly. Great little casual spot for a taco fix after work.

    Pastor bowl -- quite good and a good portion for 12 bucks
    Evan D.

    Food was pretty good, service was fine (order at counter and pick up your food), prices not too bad at all. Salsa bar isn't huge but all three of them (as well as the house salsa) were quite good. My biggest impression though -- it was hot in there. Like sweltering. Like way beyond uncomfortable to the point where my group of three had to leave before finishing because we were all so hot. It was in the 90s outside and it would have been more pleasant than inside. Seemed particularly odd because it's a 3-4 year old complex and I went to Bendito back in 2022 and it was not hot at all. I might try the one in Cary as it's closer to my house but never again at that location.

    Al Pastor and Beef Belly Taco
    Thomas D.

    My experience at Chido Taco was excellent! The tacos that I got were really tasty, especially the Al Pastor pork taco. It had a hint of pineapple in it that complimented the pork nicely. My other taco, the beef belly taco, was also very good. I have to admit that it didn't pack as much flavor into it as the Al Pastor one did though. We also ordered chips and queso which were great. The queso had a delicious, complex cheesy flavor with a hint of spiced-ness to it. The service at this location was very prompt. We only waited a minute or two for our tacos. The restaurant has a fast casual setting, and it has plenty of seating (indoor and outdoor). When we were there, one corner of the restaurant looked to be out of its usual order. There were boxes piled up, as if they had yet to organize their stock. I hope that that isn't there usually, but it didn't bother me too much. I was too focused on how delicious the food was.

I also ordered a steak burrito which was much better and was served with melted cheese on the top. There were fatty pieces throughout the burrito but this was far better than the taco. Lastly, I ordered a horchata but it tasted like grainy and wasn't great. If I'm in the area again I may give this a try but I'd definitely stick with a burrito so your food is hot.

Ironworks is a mixed use environment with vendors hawking wears under canopies, alongside brick and mortar stores, shops, and restaurants. Little Rey's (IMO) is Alpaca Restaurant meets Mexican in the best way possible. The line for the food was a solid 30-45 minute wait. So don't be like me, have a seat, pull out your phone, use the code on the table, view menu, and order and pay. However, they have employees who greet customers and begin your drink menu while you wait in line. We ordered the half chicken, Gringa tacos, guacamole, and queso. Little Rey has a pretty extensive salsa bar, with approximately 7-8 varieties. The salsa bar spans the gambit from mild, mid-hot, smoky, and creamy options. The star of the show is the smoked chicken! So good with the corn tortilla, green salsa, grilled onions and grilled jalapeño! Moving forward I'll add an order of the chicken taco to get the perfect bit without the mess! The Gringa/Picadillo taco was good. And while I am a Gringa, and I love a Taco Bell sour cream situation, that almost mayonnaise flavor didn't sit well with my soul. However, the meat itself was super flavorful. I'd ditch the flour tortilla for corn , and opt for another salsa, add pico, and I think we are there. We weren't a fan of the rice, if I'm being honest - but will try again. While I didn't try any alcoholic beverages on this round, I'm stoked to try on my next visit. Plenty of seating, but can get awkward if there are long lines. The party is outside, so that maybe your best bet. Looking forward to grabbing a group of friends for round dos! Northern Mexican: 4.4444

The chicken was crispy and the flavors of the bowl were amazing. The queso dip was perfectly seasoned and spicy. It's pricey but I definitely think you get your money's worth. I liked it so much I considered going back the next day. The reason I deducted a star: my order got forgotten and I waited over 30 minutes. I placed an online order and went in at the given pick up time. Pretty soon, a worker politely asked my name and went to check on my order. She came back and said it would be a few minutes. About 15 minutes passed, and I watched dine-in customers who ordered after me receive their food, as well as multiple take-out customers. Finally, the worker asked me again what my name was, and checked on my order. She said they were still working on it. After 5-10 more minutes, she checked again and brought it out. This whole time, I could see into the kitchen and my order had been sitting on the counter for at least 10 minutes before I got it. It happens, and the workers were friendly - I just would've given them a bump if they'd apologized for the wait or acknowledged it. It is a bit of an awkward set-up for pickup orders, as the only place to wait for your order is basically in the dining room near tables where patrons are eating. I definitely think that's something they could re-evaluate and improve on. Overall, I'll definitely come back if I'm in the area!
