    This was my first time at this location. The steak tacos were smaller than expected but ended up being the perfect size. The steak had so much flavor and was delicious. I had a side of lime rice which came out more green than I expected but the taste was good. The staff was friendly but the service was slower than I would have liked. Overall the food was great and I would eat here again.

    I had a great experience at Gonza. Our server Kiersten was fantastic, especially since it was her first day on the job. I ordered a top shelf margarita, and you can never go wrong with a top shelf margarita. The food came out fast which is always great. The food was amazing! I ordered their nachos, and they were out of this world! I'm not even kidding; those were probably one of these best nachos I've tried in the Raleigh area. If you love Mexican food, I would definitely give Gonza a try. The ambiance there is wonderful.

    The family went here for dinner and let me tell you this place is a hoot. The decor is very wired Mexican oddities. We sat out side with the heaters going ad it was quite comfortable. Their menu is somewhat small but the food is very tasty. I ordered the "Flag" which is 3 enchiladas with three different sauces that are the colors of the Mexican flag. The enchiladas were steak, chicken and refried beans.

    I was in the area for a work meeting and decided to grab lunch. So glad I did! The food is delicious and the staff is super nice. I wish I lived closer.

    Enchiladas Con Mole

    I got the enchiladas con molle with refried beans substituted for chicken. It was pretty good. Not super mind blowing but good. The sauce was sweet and the enchiladas were big. Guac and salsa were not amazing. Not super flavorful. Nice workers and the inside is so fun if you dine in.

    Came for dinner on a weeknight and both the service and food were kind of off, which was surprising considering their great reviews. I had a passionfruit margarita and tried a sip of the classic; both were meh. Fish tacos and burrito el guapo were both mid, too. You're better off going to Salt and Lime or La Santa Modern Mexican Food. 3.5 stars.

    Pastor Tacos & Sopa De Tortilla
    Lindsay C.

    Gonza is one of my favorite places to visit in Raleigh & I'd never been to the original location until today! Just like other locations it was dark inside but then well lit with star lanterns. The soup is one of my favorite things on the menu so of course I had to get it. It's a chicken tortilla soup base but is made unique with the addition of sweet potato. Pastor tacos are one of my favorites anywhere & they didn't disappoint. We also ordered queso which was delicious. Our server was patient & kind as we had people in our party who hadn't been there before and needed extra time. They accommodated adjustments to people's orders & they bring everything out on a cart so nothing spills :)

    I was hesitant to try this place, but still went. Amazing service, food was on point on every aspect. Ambiance was nice and bit load, but the decor did not disappoint. Almost everyone working that afternoon was a young, hardworking, fast moving and pleasant youngsters. Will be back! Highly recommend

    4.5 Stars - Sat at the bar; excellent service, solid craft brew and very tasty entree. Complimentary chips and salsa were above average. Used to dine here when they first opened, nice to see them packed and going strong. Will keep them on my rotation when in Raleigh.

    Best menu item: The Mexican Flag. Delicious and colorful. And they have an utterly fantabulous tequila list! Tequila is gluten free FYI :)

It never came. After waiting, we had to flag down a server walking by, who eventually brought one--only for it to be broken. It then took another 10 minutes before we finally got a functional highchair. Throughout the visit, the staff seemed far more interested in talking amongst themselves than actually paying attention to guests. The overall atmosphere felt disorganized, inattentive, and unprofessional. The worst part came after we left. I realized almost immediately that I had left my wallet behind and called right away. Instead of any sense of urgency or willingness to help, the host who answered was incredibly rude and dismissive. Before I could fully explain the situation, she cut me off and told me to "call back tomorrow." When I tried to quickly describe the wallet--color, contents, anything that might help--she hung up on me mid-sentence. Considering I called almost immediately after leaving and was brushed off so quickly, it raises serious concerns about whether any real effort was made to locate it. I would hope any establishment would take something like that seriously. Between the lack of attention, the disorganization, and the way a simple, time-sensitive situation was handled, this place clearly has serious issues with customer service. I won't be back.

When you arrive, there is plenty of parking around the building, and entrances in the front and on the right side. Once inside, you'll walk up to counter and place your order. Your then given a order number and it's open seating. Your number will be called out in Spanish when your food is ready and you'll pick it up at the counter. I ordered an al pastor taco which unfortunately was not good. It came out extremely cold and needed a lot of salsa for it to have any flavor. I also ordered a steak burrito which was much better and was served with melted cheese on the top. There were fatty pieces throughout the burrito but this was far better than the taco. Lastly, I ordered a horchata but it tasted like grainy and wasn't great. If I'm in the area again I may give this a try but I'd definitely stick with a burrito so your food is hot.
