Cosmic Cantina - Mexican Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

The place seems popular but I wasnt too excited about. The ambiance is basic/average. The food ordering takes a bit of time because one has to order everything separately. This might work out well for UNC college kids who may not necessarily want an entire entree. read more

Cute local spot. Both the service was great, and good was delicious. I got the chicken quesadilla and would get it again! But also want to try the nachos and burrito the next time I'm in town. read more

Staff was friendly, however food was lacking flavor. My order was not accurate either. Would not recommend.

Had a veggie mole burrito and it was fabulous! My husband ordered the old school and it was stuffed full. The burritos are delicious and you really get your money's worth. (The margaritas are dynamite) read more

Great food. Could do a lot better with decor. Food is prepared in a timely fashion. Prices are reasonable

Decent burritos for a great price. My coworkers and I stopped in here for lunch. There were great vegetarian options and the food was out in less than 5 minutes. Everyone that got chicken said that it was a bit plain. I got the green burrito and it had a great flavor. We all thought it was funny how different our plates looked considering almost all of us got a burrito; some of us had 7 chips on our plate while others had a lot more. The burritos sizes varied too. The interior was vibrant and the service was fast. Definitely a great place for a quick meal. read more

Very Rude customer service the environment is very unhealthy I don't recommend eating here to anyone the food hurt my stomach a couple days later worst place I've ever been to read more

I've heard good things about this place and was excited to try it. I got the chicken burrito which was a good size and also had some chips and salsa on the side which was nice. The burrito was a normal version (there was a larger burrito with extra toppings) but was flavorful and tasty. The chips were crisp and the salsa was fresh. The service took a bit but they were really busy so it made sense. I would go back if in the area again! read more

Cosmic Cantina - Burrito, chips, and salsa - Mexican Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

The new location is super cute and roomy! They have a new fresh juice bar where they squeeze the juices right in front of you. It was counter-serve but the servers were quick to bring us our orders after we sat down. Food and the juice special were all delicious! read more

What can I say about Cosmic Cantina. This little hole in the wall is down a brick walkway tucked away next to a barber shop. It's not very big but boy does it have the Best Burrito I've had in North Carolina since moving here 9 years ago from California. Steak burrito deluxe was so full of flavor. Wrapped perfectly. Pressed to get it a little toasty on the outside. Filled to the brim with steak, rice , pinto beans cheesy , guac. Next time I want to get the giant burrito! Lol. Service was fast. I don't think I waited longer than 5minutes. Server was super nice. Will definitely be back! read more

Sometimes their chicken is super salty. But their catering always pulls through. I love their salsa verde and their their guac is amazing. It does mark up the price a lot, but I fear the deluxe burritos are the way to go. read more

Really tasty burritos. Renovation is all positive. Getting the stuff that makes it a great burrito (deluxe + queso) is expensive.

Good food but kind of absurdly high pricing, and I do understand supply chain issues and markups in meat pricing. The main thing that irked me was the failure to advertise accurate prices. The menu said a steak burrito was ~$13 and there was a note prices may change, which is fair but still I would expect some kind of explicit updates about by how much. I was charged $20, now if it was a small change sure, but a 50% increase in price without it being stated until after I asked for a receipt is a bit ridiculous in my opinion. Regardless it is good food and a staple amongst students, just hope they have some better practices. Not really the late night "cheap" spot anymore by a long shot though read more

Cosmic Cantina is located on UNC-Chapel Hill's campus. It's open for both takeout and delivery, but no dining in. It's usually open until late at night, but they've adjusted their hours because of COVID. I like that each order comes with a small side of chips and there are plenty of vegetarian options too. I got a Chicken Burrito ($8) and I thought it tasted pretty average. It's a packed burrito but it needed more seasoning. But it's a decent amount of food for the price and if you're a college kid scouring for late night food when you're drunk, this is a good option. TLDR: Average burrito but the perfect spot for college kids to satisfy their late night/drunk cravings. read more

Cosmic Cantina - Menu - Mexican Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

You can never go wrong with cosmic! Service is always fast and the food is inexpensive and consistent. It's a great spot to swing by for a late dinner or late night snack. One of my favorite aspects of their burritos is that they press them on a hot plate such that the tortilla wrap has a semi quesadilla like texture. One of my favorite things that I recently got there is the Chicken mole poblano. read more

Cosmic Cantina - Mexican Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Food is okay honestly feel like they should take some notes from the Durham location and they definitely need to fix the drink machine water had a bad taste. Service was great they had brought me my order to my table as soon as it was done worth the three stars. read more

Vibe inside was cute, and had a lively environment. Great after club meal, but it wouldn't be my first choice during day hours.

10/10 Never lets me down, a reliable place to get good food. Workers and owner are very nice people. read more

Food is decent. I ordered a specific burrito and got it take out. They made is very incorrectly and I noticed after driving 20 minutes home and said that the person making the food was new and didn't know how to make burritos. I called them while at home and drove 20 minutes back to pick up my correct order and they were still not done correcting my order. I waited 30 minutes total to get my correct order. When I drove another 20 minutes home I started to eat my burrito and notice it was a chicken burrito not the steak burrito I ordered. This was the second time in one night they messed up my order and I had already wasted close to an hour trying to get take out from that was not worth it Would NOT recommend this place. Really disappointed in the customer service and the waste of money. read more

The food is super delicious! It's a dive for sure but they are getting ready to move locations so that worth noting... also they had a 100 on their sanitation rating! Lots of options and we all loved our dishes! The steak salad is over priced but other than that ... fantastic! Get the tofu burrito... you won't be disappointed! Plus open late on Sundays! read more

Truly no better place in all of CH. Filling portions, inexpensive, and good food. I have never been disappointed by any menu item at Cosmic and I am unlikely to be for the rest of my natural life. Love this place. read more

Cosmic Cantina - regular veggie burrito - Mexican Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Good burritos for cheap. That's really all I have to say about this place. Easily one of the best burrito places in the Chapelboro area. The food is super authentic and really tasty. The prices are super affordable (even though they recently raised them) and you always get a side of chips with your burrito. The workers are super friendly and the food comes out relatively fast, even during a lunch rush. The restaurant itself totally looks like a hole-in-the-wall place but this restaurant has super affordable, good, and dependable. And they're open late! They've got vegan options, too! What's not to love?! read more

Mediocre food, serviced luke warm, and just overall dirty and small. Not a beer bar by any means..they have 8 bottles in a coke fridge. Service was garbage too, the guy at the register was more engaged with his phone that the customers. The place also only seats about 60 people, uncomfortably, and they just sweep the floors into a corner. Clearly this is just a late night, post-bar food spot. read more

This place has been my go to for a cheap late night meal during undergrad (it is open until 4am), and I decided to return as a grad student this past weekend. It is the exact same as I have remember although a bit less sketchy and more refurbished. The food is still really good and cheap (although slightly more expensive than in the past)! In fact, this is one of the places where you can save a lot more money for being vegetarian. There is a lot of variety of things you can order on their menu, and the service is very quick. You can get chips and salsa if you come by this place during the day. I would recommend ordering their burritos, which come in 3 sizes (mini, regular, giant) and the choice of veggie, chicken or steak. The mini is pretty good for a snack while the regular is good for the meal! The giant burrito is the size of two burritos and recommended if you have a huge appetite. You may think that I am crazy for what I am about to say, but I find the Veggie burrito to be just as good as the Chicken burrito, and this is coming from someone who is a meat lover! The veggie burrito is the same as the chicken burrito, but it has black beans (instead of pinto) and no chicken obviously. I like the veggie burrito due to the consistent soft and chewy texture, and it is cheaper! The chicken, however, is pretty darn good although it will cost you a few more dollars. You can also option make your burrito a deluxe (guacamole and sour cream) for even more money. Although it is pretty good, you will pretty much lose the bargain you are getting for your food, which is one of the main reasons I go to Cosmic Cantina. Another item that I would recommend for your buck is the Spinach and Mushroom quesadilla for $3.09. I never knew such a delicious combo existed and made better by having it stuffed into a quesadilla filled with a bunch of cheese! Do not leave Chapel Hill without trying this place, and do not let the obscure location and sketchy appearance drive you out! You will not regret it! read more

Every time I go to Chapel Hill I come here. Such quick service, such great food. I usually get the chicken burrito regular size and it is enough for two meals at a very good price. Open past 10pm is another bonus. read more

I placed a carry out order for two things of chips and queso for a friend and I. Each was $6 which I thought was pricey, but I've heard people rave about their queso so I was willing to pay it. Well when I got back home I saw my $6 queso had been filled halfway in the cup they gave me. At least put it in a smaller container if you're going to do that! Not sure if this is the usual or if I was gipped. read more

Cosmic Cantina - Queso - Mexican Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Don't believe the haters - Cosmic is a true gem! Albeit, perhaps a diamond in the rough, a diamond no less! The staff is friendly, the food is a bargain (even given the unfortunate recent price increases), and the atmosphere is charming. A true survivor that maintains a bit of its grit while the rest of Chapel Hill suffers its botched facelift. read more

Oh Cosmic, have I had many a late night memories made here. From breaking up drunken fights to helping a girl who was bleeding out from her arm onto my burrito, this place is certainly not the place I would recommend for any time earlier than 2-3 AM. It's the typical late night spot for when you're drunk, tired and exhausted from the club or bar hopping and you need to drown yourself in subpar queso and chips. I've never had their food sober, and maybe that's a subconscious decision I've been making for a reason. But I can tell you it tastes great after 4 cranberry vodkas. read more

They took my order, lost it, and refused to remake it or refund it. The staff was rude and refused to help fix the situation.

Not sure I would have made it through undergrad without Cosmic Cantina. When you're on a student's budget, those three dollar vegetarian burritos can fuel you for an entire day. Also, if not for Cosmic I would have never discovered the joy that is Salsa Valentina! Oh, and like all things, the Chapel Hill Cosmic is far superior to the durham Cosmic. read more

Good late night snack option, better than timeout. Good price for a rather large burrito

Always a delicious burrito served fast at a fair price in a clean spot. Really impressive experience last night. To the gentleman working the register- you didn't have to throw in some salsa verde- but you did, you didn't have to offer free pico- but you did, you didn't have to offer the drunk student in front of me a cup of water- but you did and you didn't have to offer him the bathroom key- but you did. Above and beyond. Your actions have made me an even more loyal patron. read more

Cosmic cantina has the BEST Chicken Chimichangas, not only are they DELICIOUS but also a great price. I seriously will have random cravings for Cosmic, and they are open till 4:00am. It's not much of a place to sit and eat, I usually get delivery or take out. If you haven't tried it, definitely give it a whirl, you won't be disappointed!! read more

Love their mole! I didn't know how much I was into mole until I tasted theirs! Its like a savory chocolate I didn't know was missing in my life and only they could fill that void for me. I like how this is also an introvert's paradise (for late night) and how they offer wifi! Highly recommend their vegan platter. Seriously filling food for very little money. They are able to keep the prices low since they get SO MUCH business! read more

One of my favorite places to eat! It's cheap and good portions. Personal favorite is the veggie deluxe burrito or the quesadillas. Their salsa and queso is also really good! read more

Cosmic Cantina - Mexican Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

This is a staple of Franklin Street and late night food. I appreciate how much food you get for the price, and all the vegan options. They also have free wifi now! I remembered to write this review because I was recently there, and I forgot to ask for no cheese. I went to buy a whole new burrito, and they made me a new burrito for free. Very helpful and considerate customer service- greatly appreciated! read more

Cosmic's is a small, order-at-the-counter restaurant with a super casual environment and a location that's conveniently two minutes away from UNC's campus. The food is tasty and relatively cheap (although sour cream and other additions cost extra), the service is friendly enough, and it's open every day until 4:00 AM too, making it ideal for late night "snacks." I came here nearly every other day while taking summer classes last year, at which time they also finally installed an air conditioning system so that it's not a sauna inside when it's hot and a freezer during the winter. Lately, I've been less enthusiastic about going because the portions seem to be getting smaller while the prices remain the same, but Cosmic's still stands as one of my favorite go-to burrito places. read more
