    Cheese and Chicken Quesadilla
    Roc R.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

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

    Will & Well is a great addition to Boxyard if you're looking for a fresh salad, grain bowl, or…read moresmoothie option. The setup is counter service, with a handful of premade salads and bowls on the menu, or you can build your own. The build-your-own option starts at $12.99 and includes your base, five toppings, one crunchy/dry topping, and dressing. Proteins are extra and range from about $4.25-$6.50, with options including tofu, shrimp, chicken, steak, and tuna. I opted for a build-your-own bowl with chicken, which came out to just under $20 before tip. At first, that felt a little pricey to me, but the portion size was absolutely massive. Honestly, it was large enough to easily make two meals, which made the value feel much better. The woman helping me was incredibly friendly and even let me sample three different dressings before deciding. I also appreciated that you can get your dressing on the side if you prefer. All 3 I tried were good, but all very different, and I'm glad I had a chance to try them! One thing to note is that it was fairly warm inside the business, which gave me a little pause considering it's a salad-focused concept. That said, everything tasted fresh and high quality. There were only two employees working during my visit on a Wednesday around 6:30, and with about 4-5 people ahead of me, it took around 20 minutes to place my order, get my bowl made, and check out. The staff was working hard, and being incredibly helpful, but if you're in a hurry, just plan accordingly. Overall, I'd definitely return. It's nice to have a quality salad option at Boxyard, the ingredients were fresh, the portions were generous, and the service was helpful and kind. Just be prepared that there may be a bit of a wait and to spend around $20 if you're adding protein (but you can easily share or make two meals from it!!!) My picture doesn't do the size justice I promise!

    I had been meaning to stop in to visit Will and Well for months and was not disappointed when I…read moredid! I'd seen that celebrity Tabitha Brown stopped by recently and loved the salads, which made me want to visit even more. I stopped through on a weekday afternoon. I ordered the signature salad, Salsa Verde with quinoa (you can add your choice of grain) and a freshly made hibiscus juice (so refreshing!). Everything was so fresh and so delicious. The salad was coated with just the amount of dressing and the sweet potatoes on the salad were a special treat, making the salad both unique and delicious! The hibiscus juice was refreshing and not syrupy sweet like many juices from other establishments. I will definitely be back to try other salads!

It's a casual, order-at-the-counter spot, and the person working, who may have been the owner, was incredibly kind and helpful. He took the time to explain the menu since it was our first visit. Basically, you choose your base, such as rice, fries, salad, or a sandwich, then choose your protein, including chicken, gyro, falafel, or a combination. Everything comes with a veggie mix that you can customize and three sauces, which you can also get on the side. We ordered the fries with chicken and gyro and the rice with chicken. We left the onions off the veggies and got the sauces on the side for one dish. The white sauce and green sauce were phenomenal. The hot sauce is definitely hot and gives everything a great kick, although it was a little smokier than I personally prefer. We also added tzatziki and a side of pita, which was fresh and delicious. The portions were HUGE. The two meals were enough for both of us to eat lunch, have them again for dinner, and still have leftovers. With two fountain drinks, I believe our total was around $45, which felt incredibly reasonable for the amount of food and how fresh everything tasted. Great food, huge portions, reasonable prices, and genuinely wonderful service. We really enjoyed it and will absolutely be back!
