Entree, chips and a drink

So let me set the stage real quick (by quick I mean please give me a few seconds... 1) It's been a decade since I've enjoyed food in Durham. 2) For the last decade I happily was a district resident and had access to some pretty delicious MEX food and so.... with that out of the way, you can already glean that my pallette is particular. I ordered a shrimp queso and a white peach sangria (frozen). I was made aware a few minutes after the order was placed that that frozen was not possible. The excuse given was not audible... (Quick pause and shout-out to the staff: they were mildly mannerable.) The shrimp queso however had no manners. The cheese sauce tastes odd and the sour cream tastes outdated. The sangria ON THE ROCKS was sweetened with diabetes. I waited 10 minutes for the drink to become more diluted but to no avail. After being asked twice if the food/service was to my liking... I confessed the truth and requested a re-do of the beverage. My request was denied hence the picture below.. Keep the chips. Keep the drink. Skip the shrimp queso. Keep the manners.

I paid $30 for this crap! I asked for the three item combination with a chimichanga & two different burritos. They have me 3 burritos and then covered them in runny tomato sauce. The sauce almost taste like pizza sauce/marinara, nothing like a sauce you'd get in any other Mexican restaurant. I also ordered cheese dip that was $8 and it was not in the bag when I got home. Don't know if they were trying the get back at me for placing a to-go order about an hour before they closed & picked it up well before closing, or if their food is always this shitty. $30 for an incorrect, poor quality combo plate & a side of queso dip that didn't even make it in the bag. Don't waste your money here, not even close to good.

Chori-Queso! This had huge chunks of chorizo in it!

Tacos had dish soap spilled on them (very fragrant brand, too), while the tamales still had plastic wrap on them and a lot of hair. Yummy.

Came here after the Durham Farmers Market with a friend and wow this place was a surprise. …read more I went with the grain bowl and honestly it is one of the best I have had in downtown Durham. It is built on quinoa and rice with black beans and kale, then layered with corn salsa, tomato cortido, guacamole, and a creamy acevichado style sauce that pulls everything together. It is finished with a crunchy mix of pepitas, nuts, and grains. The balance is quite ideal in my view. My friend had the rotisserie chicken with two sides, kale and slaw, and it was just as impressive. Crispy skin, juicy inside, and really clean flavors. Simple food done right and GF friendly. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared. Prices land right where you would expect for the quality, roughly 16 to 21 dollars depending on what you order, and it feels worth it. My bowl plus side of dark chicken was plenty. A few notes. Parking is what you would expect for downtown, so plan accordingly. Service was solid and friendly, but nothing that stood out. The vibe inside is festive and relaxed, bright and open, and just a fun place to hang out for lunch. Porbably not a special occasion. I also suspect it could get loud when full. This is definitely going into my regular rotation. That grain bowl is going to be hard to pass up next time, so instead of replacing it I will probably just add a side or an empanada and start working my way through the rest of the menu.

This place was amazing. We tried both the brisket and chicken sandwich, and they did not…read moredisappoint. We also shared a potato empanada that was recommended by another customer, which was also fantastic. The yuca fries and plantains were delicious. You also get a large amount of food for the price, definitely left us feeling satiated. Staff was very friendly, we will be back!
