    Rice and beans
    Joe S.

    If you're in the mood for tacos (and when am I not), this taco place on the corner of Chido St. and Taco Ave. fits the bill. Ok, maybe that's not the name of the intersection, but it's close to the theater and the downtown hotels on the south end of the city. Or just use Maps to find it. The tacos came out pretty plain, but I later found out they have a fixin's bar like Roy Rogers had back in the day. I loaded up my chorizo and Al Pastor tacos with onions and cilantro for a classic street taco style. The Shrimp Tacos were odd, but good. They had a corn tortilla laid flat with shrimp, then they melted cheese on top almost like an open face quesadilla. Sounds amazing, but eating it was a challenge. Free drink refills were available which is always a plus. Seating was a bit limited and it got crowded during the noon hour. I'd probably go again if I could beat the lunch crowds.

    What a life saver! Came back late to our hotel and while trying to figure out what to eat, we noticed Chido tacos still open! I wouldn't say this is typically where I would go unless for something quick, but I couldn't have been more satisfied! The perfect end to our night. And the perfect ambiance to fit the mood. We had the Birria tacos, and the shrimp ACP and both were amazing. I recommend trying both, I've never had something to the ACP before but each bite was heaven. Place was clean and good service

    Pork belly tacos chidos

    Came in for a late dinner and the place was packed. Food came out nice and fresh and hot. It seems expensive but these two small tacos pack a LOT of flavor and are worth every penny. Pork belly is cooked perfect, even the rice and beans are super flavorful. Casual dining with a bar, great for a summer evening. Definitely recommend and would come back anytime I'm in Raleigh.

    Quesabirria Tacos with Rice and Beans

    As a lover of tacos and everything Taco Bell to street food in Mexico, Chido Taco is definitely a hit! Prior to this location opening, I had eaten at the location on Bale street. I work in downtown Raleigh so was extremely excited when this location opened up. The service is quick and the employees are friendly. The decor is fun and modern; street food vibes. The salsa bar is fresh and is always clean. (This attention to detail is important because a lot of places with similar salsa bars, mostly on the west coast, can get very sloppy). I have tried just about everything that I can try from the menu as a gluten free diner. Pictured on this review are the quesabirria tacos with rice and beans, and the steak nachos. The quesabirria tacos at this location are so delicious and have a nice crunch. They are also extremely filling. The consume broth is flavorful and not too heavy. The rice and beans are fresh and tasty! The steak nachos are a healthy portion size and fun to eat. In this instance, I ordered all of my topping on the side so the nachos didn't become soggy by the time I had my lunch break. The queso is AMAZING here and the steak was tender and well-seasoned. I recommend Chido Taco for a reliable tex mex meal!

    Small little place with good customer service and was pretty quick. Went during lunch with a few coworkers and enjoyed the carnitas tacos. I got two, should have gotten four because they are pretty small but for the price it makes sense. Will be back to try some aguas and horchata eventually!

    Quesabirria Combo
    Kevin C.

    I came here for the first time for a quick lunch and ordered three barbacoa quesabirria combo.  The menu describes them as quesadillas but they're more like Taco Bell chalupas and were absolutely delicious!  The portions were pretty generous and the combo also came with a side of rice and beans.  Service was quick as well.  I'll definitely be back.

    Delicious food with great service. We especially enjoyed the self service topping bar and the Horchata was refreshing and tasted authentic.

    Food good. Service great. But please get some AC don't make any sense how hot it is in there

    chicken tacos

    Second Timer! A great place similar to San Diego Mexican style food. The best in Raleigh I've tried since living there for two years. Recommend the birria quesadillas (quesadillas con broth) and three chicken tacos. The beef tacos are great too, I just personally don't eat red meat. The service is great, the atmosphere is too! Eat with your family or sit at the bar with a loved one or friends. Definitely a place I recommend if visiting North Carolina.

    A fun concept bar of cocktails + desserts! We sat at the bar and received great service. Make sure…read moreto take the time to read the whole menu because there are some very unique offerings! We also learned the menu is updated seasonally, so it was a perfect pairing to the beautiful spring weather

Although the space is tiny, the desserts and cocktails more than make up for the line out front, and the noisy nature of downtown locations! There were 4 of us and we enjoyed the strawberry pretzel pie, derby pie, ice cream, coffee, and old fashioned. First of all, AMAZING cocktails- and an epic list of whiskeys, bourbons, and scotches. They've also got some custom beverages that you cannot find else. Super thumbs up for originality of cocktails, creative menu presentation, and speed of service! The derby pie was good- but I like mine with a denser filling. My friend enjoyed her strawberry pretzel pie, and the fact that not many places offer this on their menu. But, she said it was not as good as homemade. The gents in our party RAVED about how great Bittersweet's old fashioned drinks were! They said that these were definitely in the top three beverages they had ever had! This hole in the wall had a bridal party, some goth appearing folks, and suits too. In short, no matter what you like to drink, what you enjoy eating for dessert, you will find it here!

    What a treat I enjoyed when Andia and her husband George were at the Triangle Food & Wine…read moreExperience last weekend at The Exchange. She has such a wonderful personality and knows her ice cream. I was one of the first to enjoy her Gluten free Coffee ice cream with chopped up chocolate-covered espresso beans throughout. Then George took the cup of this delicious ice cream and torched it for a brulee finish. Amazing, indescribable, and I will be back for more soon kind of flavors! I have since checked out her flavor options and kick myself for not visiting her shop soon over at Iron Works. It is so close to where we live in downtown Raleigh. No more excuses. We are heading there this weekend for a Valentine's Day treat of one of her many boutique flavors. Plus I love that Andia truly cares about the Gluten Free population and offers so many wonderful-sounding flavors for them.

    We can in for milkshakes…read more.. My wife and I stop by Andia's Ice Cream for milkshakes on a Saturday night at 7:30PM but, unfortunately the menu on the wall had sold out stickers on them. We decided to get ice cream in waffle cone since we couldn't get the milkshakes. I got the Cookies N Cream in a waffle cone My wife got the Cotton Candy in a waffle cone. The cookies N Cream was good but, the waffle cone was not. The waffle cones are the "softer" ones, i was expecting the classic crunchy waffle cone. I just ate the ice cream with a spoon out of the cone. The cotton candy was not good. It tasted like sugar free ice cream. Same thing with the waffle cone as I previously wrote. The service was great! The ambiance was nice. Not sure if we would go back, our favorite ice cream shop is in Durham and I would prefer to drive 30Min to that place. I would rate Andia's ice cream shop 5th in the Raleigh/Durham area for ice cream. *I would say give it a try I may love it.
