    Couldn't leave the area without stopping by Los Cuates again. It's been awhile since I've visited, but boy were the burritos still legit. The CA burrito was still as good as I remember (tastes just like back home) and the carne asada still packed with meat! If you're looking for some legit Mexican food qhen in the area, this spot is a must! So good even had to bring some back home (served the short plane ride!).

    #2. Two Beef Tacos and #19. 4 Rolled Tacos with Guacamole

    Was in desperate need of a taco and queso on a Sunday evening after a day of manual labor. Most places were closing but the shining beacon that is Los Cuates was still open. I ordered the #2 and my partner got #19 (which is basically taquitos) plus queso. The beans and rice here are *chef's kiss*. We both cleaned our plates. You order from the front counter and then go sit down. Then they will bring out your order. Since we ordered queso, it came with chips but I think you have to order chips if you want it with salsa. They have a salsa bar that has a few spicy and non-spicy options. All in all, we paid $38 for two entrees, queso, and two drinks.

    Huevos Racheros. So good!!

    I'm originally from Southern California. So for the first two years living in Raleigh, I was going through major Mexican Food withdrawals. That is until I happened across Los Cuates. Finally...I found the SoCal taqueria I was hungry for (pun intended). So if you're from NC (or the south in generally) you may not get this...but yes, we want the salsa bar with the salsa that are probably way too spicy for you. Yes, we want protein options like Lengua or Buche, and NO...we don't want queso. On anything. Ever! That cheese sauce isn't food. Certainly not Mexican food!! What we want is great food prepared simply with vibrant flavors all wrapped up in a tortilla or Torta. And here at Los Cuates...it's all so, so good!! All to that a vibrant environment and Spanish music blaring on the stereo and a super friendly people who make us feel like family and oh yes...I've found all the Mexi I so deeply crave. Which is why if you need to find me, stop into Los Cuates. I'm there at least twice a week!!

    Outstanding and authentic. The only problem is that it's not closer to my house. I need it to be right next door!

    Website says they open at 8am. Don't open until 11am. Why serve a breakfast burrito if you aren't open for breakfast?

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.
