Mazatlán is one of the places frequented by my group of co-workers for lunch. I have been going…read morewith them since Jul 2024. So far, I have tried three dishes from their menu: Arroz con Pollo (ACP), Dos Amigos and Arroz con Camaron (ACC). I had ACP on my first visit. It was good. After that, I alternated between dos amigos and ACC. I liked dos amigos the most, and ordered it at least twice. It's grilled tilapia fillet with buttery shrimp, garlic sauce, Spanish rice and beans. The last time I had it on was on Jan 27. I got sick from diarrhea the next day. It soured my opinion on that dish. The other frequent dish was ACC. I would have rated it highly had I not been to Toros Cantina on 1011-109 Lewis St. Their ACC is better, and I've ordered it many times. It included veggies, which helped to balance the taste of the melted cheese. At Mazatlán, veggies is an extra charge. Their ACC isn't as hearty being just shrimp and rice. On my last visit (with co-workers) on Dec 29, I had ACP with veggies. The chicken was a little tough. On the plus side, Mazatlán provides complimentary chips and sauce with no limit. When the basket is empty, it is promptly refilled. Same with the sauce. Service has been impeccable every time I was there. The manager periodically checks up on us to see how we are doing (if we need anything). Every time we were there, we never had to wait for a table. There's plenty of public parking too. Traffic is reasonably light during lunch time (though we are usually there by 11:30am).

Having said that, I was pleased with my options here, and was hungry enough to devour both some tortilla chips with chopotle salsa and some indulgent mushroom tacos (albeit not hungry enough to ponder what I suspect would have been a quality dessert). Their vegetarian options are based around mushrooms, but I also got a lot of beans in on the side, and appreciated the freshly cooked peppers on the side. The mushrooms themselves were a little rubbery and I didn't like them as much as I'd hoped, but mixed in with the other ingredients the total result was good, and I was happy to find a place that suited my dietary needs and offered a variety of fresh tastes.

Growing up in Texas, Chuy's was a staple, so finding one in Cary after a long workday felt like…read morerunning into an old friend. The original Chuy's started in Austin, and after all these years, the flavors are still exactly how I remember them. I had planned to eat at H Mart but arrived too late after checking into my hotel. A summer thunderstorm rolled through, and by the time I pulled into Chuy's, the skies cleared. It was the perfect ending to a long day. The complimentary chips, fresh salsa, and famous creamy jalapeño dip are reason enough to stop by. That dip is every bit as addictive today as it was decades ago. I ordered the Comida Deluxe--a massive plate with cheese enchiladas, crispy chicken flautas, a crispy beef taco, fresh guacamole, queso-covered tostadas, rice, and refried beans. I paired it with an ice-cold Coke, plus extra lime wedges and white onions, because that's how Tex-Mex should be enjoyed. Every bite hit the spot. The portions were enormous, the quality was excellent, and at around $16-18, it's one of the best values around. I knew I'd be taking leftovers home, and they were just as good the next day. I also grabbed a slice of tres leches cake to go. It was huge and worth every penny. It somehow tasted even better after sitting overnight as the three milks soaked deeper into the cake. Absolutely delicious. Our server was warm, attentive, and made packing up leftovers effortless by bringing extra creamy jalapeño dip, a sturdy bag for the chips, and plenty of to-go containers. Service like that makes a difference. You can pay traditionally with your server or by scanning a QR code. I tried the QR option but found it a little cumbersome, so I paid the old-fashioned way with my credit card. Chuy's has stayed true to what made it famous. The recipes are consistent, the portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the food is packed with nostalgia. Whether you're a fellow Texan or just craving outstanding Tex-Mex, this place continues to deliver. Life is too short to eat boring food.

Between the people hacking away weeds with machetes outside in the crowded parking lot and the indoor space that had no AC and industrial strength fans blowing just to keep people from melting in the summer, and the takeout container they seemed to have burned some holes in, it was on the sketchy side. The food I took was a vegetarian platter. A corn tamale was tasty, but I kind of wished I'd just gotten pupusas and hopefully been able to get some variety. It's a cuisine worth trying, and there is another similarly named outlet in the area so perhaps I might see if that one is in better shape.
