Driving through between SC and VA, wanted something good and to support a local business (especially during Covid). Pleased to see protocols being followed. Now, on to the food. Fresh ingredients prepared on site and obviously done with care and pride. This place most resembles those out of the way places we have found and enjoyed in Central America - and that is meant as a compliment. Pupusas and tacos were delicious without substituting heat for flavor. We will be back. Recommended read more

The decor is thoughtfully designed, creating a stylish and inviting atmosphere that immediately caught my eye. The space was impeccably clean, which made the visit even more comfortable and enjoyable. I also appreciated the calm and peaceful ambiance-- but he asked me if I wanted my first tacos instead of just bring them all at the same time, but the food was overall good read more

Searching yelp for a lunch spot while working out here today. Small place with great customer service. Ordered a chicken burrito. The meat had great flavor! Rice was a little hard but everything was fresh and yummy. They don't have chips, was kinda bummed about that. Price was really good! 11 bucks for the burrito and an iced tea. Tastier than anything I've had since moving to NC. I'll be back next time I'm in the area. Decent amount of parking. read more

Guacamole Latin Grill - Chicken burrito. - Mexican Near Me - Dunn, North Carolina

We didn't like the food. The guacamole was watery. We like chunky guacamole. We're not into Central American or South American cuisine.

I stopped in for a late lunch here. Ordered the birria tacos. They were very good. Came with cilantro, onion and fresh lime on the plate. I probably would order extra cheese when I go back. Really good authentic Mexican food and excellent service. read more

Guacamole Latin Grill - Birria tacos - Mexican Near Me - Dunn, North Carolina

I like this place because it's authentic, not American-ized food. I'm the only non-hispanic in the place. I ordered shrimp, chicken, and carnitas tacos. 3.99 for 4 small shrimp is a bit pricey for that taco, and the corn tortillas not doubled up. So eating with a fork as it tore immediately from the sauces. Shrimp was OK, chicken better, but the flavor was in the carnitas. They offer a salsa toppings bar but not self-service. Add lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and cilantro. Other toppings as cheese, sour cream, salsa, for a price. A lime piece for each one adds nice citrus touch. I'm glad it's local, so I don't have to drive to Raleigh for authentic Latin American/ Hispanic food. Saw other items on the menu I'd like to try. read more

We stopped here on a road trip and boy were we happy about it! This is authentic Mexican food. We had the Birria Tacos, one chicken pupusa, and a chicken burrito. Everything was delicious! The space is well kept, we didn't have a long wait. We ordered at the counter and grabbed a table. Everything came out in good time and hot. Prices are fair and . 10/10 would eat here again read more

I use to love this place but now there is a different owner and I do not recommend it! This new owner doesn't understand the value of a happy customer nor fear the impact of an unhappy customer. I stopped in yesterday and ordered a bean burrito deluxe to take out. When I got home and began to eat, I noticed a lot of rice was falling out of the burrito. I decided to open it up and discovered I was given a burrito stuffed with all rice and no beans. I immediately called the store and told the owner. He asked if I was close enough to come back and get another burrito. I told him I was 10 miles away. He told me to come back today and he would give me a burrito with beans. It was really an inconvience to drive there today but I made the trip and asked for my corrected bean burrito. He changed his words and said he told me he would give me a discounted burrito. He did not! He is not very ethical or very honest! I left and will never go back unless it changes ownership! read more

Guacamole Latin Grill - Chicken pupusa - Mexican Near Me - Dunn, North Carolina

Lots of food the price. Great authentic taste! Best pupusas! Love the hot cabbage! Always fresh food!

I had the spicy camarones with rice and beans as well as one other dish. I ordered the spicy sauces and it was HOT. Delicious flavor and hot enough to make me sweat a bit. Really enjoyed. Way better than the "american-Mexican" basic restaurants. This place is authentic Took away one star for having a hard time ordering and learning about the menu read more

Pupusas, and the real deal! I'm probably the hardest critic and come from a family of foodies, raised in California and I have to tell ya, you don't want to drive through Dunn without stopping here. We recommend this to our AirBnb customers all the time and they love it as well. read more

I had to re-plate the pupusa plate for the photo because esthetics. I think the photo speaks for itself. I've seen this for a year or however long it's been around and now I know why I never stopped. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Birria shredded beef? The one star comes from the juice that we drank. read more

This was my first time to this Latin Grill. First of all, I was pleasantly surprised at the selection on the menu. I had 1 steak and 1 chicken taco, and tried the pupusa. All of these were excellent. Never had that type of crunchiness in a taco before but it was delicious. A must try if you are ever in the Dunn area. read more

So happy I found this place! It's a little wait but worth it. Don't be off put by the surrounding area lol & The lady was nice at the front. -I ordered the fried fish, (the rice was yellow rice not the same as the picture advertised) nonetheless EXCELLENT pick on my part lol. There was also onions inside of it. The salad tasted fresh! -My son got cheese, chicken, pork pupusas (he only got through one pupusa) of course my fiancé and I tried it lol he says they are better than our regular pupusa spot in Fayetteville it's a little crispier and tastes better. -My fiancé got carne tostadas. Very good. There's a tv so it kept us pretty entertained while we waited watching gags and pranks. They have glass bottled Coca Cola and a bottle opener I thought was a neat touch. I read from the reviews there's horchata so I'll be back to try it lol. When the food comes out you get to pick out your sauces and extra garnishes. Lime was a must along with pickled cabbage and cilantro! I had to order Tomato sauce for the pupusas. The mild verde sauce was great! Not so much for my fiancé lol. They only had fork silverware. EVERYTHING tasted absolutely FRESH. Except the guacamole. Let's just say I would not order guacamole from Guacamole Latin Grill. I'm starting to see a trend in this area with this kind of guacamole and I hope it changes. I will update my review if they "make" better guac. The nachos looked like the kind you order at the movies... we just ended up trashing the whole thing. Not to mention it came out after our main food. Overall, I will DEFINITELY, be back and very happy Bc it's close choice and open on a holiday. read more

We had the best meal here! We tried a variety of items on the menu, everything was delicious! Hands down the best Al Pastor that I have eaten! We will keep coming back many times!! Thank you to everyone! read more

I'm coming from Raleigh area and I was craving tortas de pollo and this place popped up on yelp. I'm very familiar with authentic Mexican food so I chose a place to eat accordingly. Staff here is very nice. No complaints, but they did NOT have guacamole The staff that were assisting with my order were bilingual (fluent English & Spanish) ... if you're worried about that. I understand both so it was no problem. If I'm passing through the area again, I am DEFINITELY stopping here! read more

Delicious papusas and slaw. By far the best Mexican food in the area. I've been here many times and never had a bad experience. And it's clean. read more

I started coming here a few years ago for the tacos and it was so good. Not long ago they added Birria tacos to their menu, and I could not be more ecstatic. But slowly overtime, they started making the consommé, smaller and smaller that you got with the plate and somewhere along the way it just stopped tasting as seasoned as it once was. Are used to go at least once a week but the last three times have definitely turned me off from going for a while at least. They have definitely fell off. read more

This place has literally the BEST tacos in Dunn! Very authentic taste all the way down to the shell, and if you're a die hard taco fan like me, you know the shell has 75% importance on what a good taco is. Each taco comes with two shells which is great cause you can just pick up one, then when taco parts start falling out, there's an extra shell and it's like second taco. Has been a weekly stop for me since they've opened read more

We went here the other day on a whim. So glad we gave this place a try. The food was authentic And flavorful. If your tired of the Americanzed Mexican places - this place is a must! We will definitely go back again! read more

This is one of my favorite places in the area! Don't expect a server and wait to be seated. This is where real Mexican food lovers come to eat a freshly made taco and all other Mexican food. The place is not very big but like I said this isn't Taco Bell or your chips and salsa place. If you're really hungry try the torta you will not be disappointed. Had this earlier for lunch today and cannot stop coming here! read more

Fantastic. Not sure if the tortillas are homemade, but they seem like it. Al pastor is DELICIOUS but a little closer to a cochinita pibil. Truly awesome, low key spot with cheap, authentic eats. Make sure to try the pupusas as well - it's like the best grilled cheese you'll ever have. read more

It's been better. I loved Guacamole before covid.n Now I'll wait to order again AFTER the problems with covid are gone. I think the A-Team cooks are sheltering at home. I hope they are doing well. Tonights order was 3 Carnitas Tostadas,cooked well done, with slaw and vegi's except cilantro, and 2 cups medium salsa (green). 1 sauce cup, no slaw, greasy carnita meat. We also ordered another meal. Quesadilla and Tostada also short a sauce cup with greasy carnita meat. They may be pre-cooking the meat and letting it sit in a warmer. It may make things easier in the kitchen but but the product suffers. How they were was great, now, not so much. I hope they are great again soon. read more

Good, home style food in a laidback atmosphere. The cashier was very nice, and their agua frescas were delicious!

Amazing food. Looks like a hole in the wall but go for it!!! Hands down the best Mexican food in Harnett County. Warning this is order at the counter and pick up at the counter if your looking for full service this is not the place but honestly the food is so delicious it makes up for it. Their hottest hot sauce is perfection. read more

Re: Rod A's review: There are now LCD menus up on the wall w/ prices, and street sign and store front sign are up and accurate. Crystal Taqueria is next door, and maybe they used to be affiliated, but they seem to have claimed their independence now. Also, i didnt find them to be expensive at all. Atmosphere: sort of like a small Chipotle, clean, new trendy furniture/fixtures, American music playing. Food: standard tacos/burritos/quesadillas but also tostadas and (!!) pupusas. standard array of meats, carne asada, al pastor, pollo, carnitas, ground beef, but they also have lengua. for the pupusas, they even have loroco, which is a flower bud from central america (never seen it before). toppings bar where you can add veggies and salsas, the slaw they have is an excellent crisp palate cleanser. they're medium salsa is spicier than you expect (but not too spicy). Service: excellent. the young man working the front is bilingual, very friendly. the young lady working the kitchen gets your food out quickly. Prices: cheap, contrary to what Rod A. thought. burritos/quesadillas are 5.99, and tacos/tostadas/pupusas are 1.89 each. specialty drinks are 2.99 Overall: highly recommended. everything i've eaten has been very tasty, and the place is always clean, service is good, and i'm usually the only non-hispanic in the place (which is a good sign, IMO). the only shortcomings are very minor ones (i.e. plastic forks but no knives/spoons, empty napkin dispensers), indicative of a small family run restaurant learning what it takes to go from good to great. read more

This place is amazing! My group was on a long road trip down from New York and we were looking for a quick bite to eat. They served a group of 15 in 30 minutes and the food was amazing! Way above our expectations when we were just looking for something convenient! The workers were so friendly and patient even with the huge influx of orders on a Saturday night! The prices are amazing also! As a group of college students, we wish we had this in our town! read more

Love the price and wide range of options. Excellent customer service and tasty food. Not to be confused with any "chain" restaurants such as chipotle or moes or any of that Tex mex mess, each order is hand cooked and prepped fresh so it does take a little longer (would be best to call in if ordering to go on a time limit) this is an authentic Latin grill. Awesome horchata as well!! read more

This was an awesome experience. The restaurant is small and I never would have gone had it not been so highly rated on Yelp. Excellent food and the gentleman taking our order really took his time describing the food. You must try the pupusas! They are phenomenal! read more

Good pupusas! If you like pork and cheese, get the mixed. I personally like the cheese and loroco (its a central American flower), love it! Don't be shy, try them!! you eat them with the curtido (looks like coleslaw, no mayo) and red tomato sauce. Looks like a plain corn tortilla from the outside, but inside all the yummy fillings with cheese oozing out. yum!! read more

More traditional food, not like the tex-mex you get at mi casitas. Fast, cheap, and good.

Gotta say the only reason I made an account is to write a review for this place because is so DELICIOUS!!! The pupusas are the biggest I have ever seen in mi life!! Luckily I took pictures!! Google maps says its Mexican which I'm guessing is for the taco pics but honestly I don't think the staff/owners are from Mexico at all, I think they are El Salvadorians, but anyways I thought it was an extension to chipotle but nah, it looks like it's own business, next door is a small Hispanic store which I think also belongs to them so check that out too! read more

Food was fine- I expected it to me a fast casual type place, like Chipotle (quickness, not food wise) but it was not. Took 20 minutes for 1 order- 4 people worth of food. Would maybe go back, but not sure. Nice to have a new option in a town where there aren't many. I like what they are trying to do here, maybe just not executed very well. read more

This place reminds of the taco shops out in Cali! It was clear that they use old fashioned style of cooking which makes the food as authentic as you are going to find in the area. Everything from the freshly made salsa's to the quality of the meat was finger licking. The wait time seems unusually long but it's no different than waiting on an appetizer at your local restaurant. I will say that the quality of food/ entree that comes out is worth the wait as it is being prepared on the spot. Food was so good I couldn't wait to write a review! Next time I'll take a pic as I will def be driving the 40 minutes to come back read more

I have only tried their bean and cheese pupusas and their horchata, but judging from my experience with those two items I can genuinely recommend this restaurant. Service is quick, the food is fairly priced, the pupusas are quite large and the horchata is damn good, though not the typical Mexican version you may accustomed to. Give this spot a try! read more
