First time visiting Los Tres Magueyes, glad we went! Once you're inside, everything around you is bursting with colors and culture, definitely different than brown walls with a few pictures on them. Even the booths were creatively decorated. Our waiter brought us some chips and salsa. The chips were good, they held up well to the salsa and did not break. They probably could have used a bit more salt, but they were very crunchy, not too thick and freshly made. The salsa was ok, not as much flavor and a little thinner consistency than I prefer after visiting some other similar restaurants, but not bad at all. My wife had he Burrito Supremo and I had the Burrito California. Wow, they don't skimp on the portions!!! Large burrito, with lots of meat, I was so happy to see that! Well seasoned meat. I substituted the rice for the beans on my order. The pico de gallo was a nice addition inside of the burrito to cut through some of the heaviness of the meat and cheese, but I felt there was not enough of it. However, I found a solution. The green salad was mainly a mixture of roughly chopped bell pepper, white onion and shredded cheese with a little bit of lettuce. I don't think I could have eaten the salad by itself as I felt the amount of onions was too much on a salad, but I opened the burrito and added the onions and peppers to it and that really helped an already very tasty burrito! The additional flavors from the onion and peppers were great, as well as the texture contrast from the meat. The meat was very tender; there was no chewing on tough steak. The cheese added some richness and fat. My wife echoed my comments about the size of the burrito and the tenderness and flavor of the steak. She also enjoyed the black beans, which had a lot of flavor and mixed well with the rice on the side. We both had leftovers to take with us as there was so much food. It's definitely a good value: reasonable prices, large portions and great tasting dishes. We'll definitely return and make sure to try some new items next time! read more

The restaurant was bright and happy. The customer service was friendly and responsive. The menu was huge but we received some recommendations. The food came out surprisingly quick (less than 5 minutes). That can be a bit alarming but it tasted pretty good. It seems like a place that locals enjoy. read more

Los Tres Magueyes is a busy place. The menu is large and the prices are reasonable. Service was good but the food not so good. The Mexican Coke was my favorite part of the meal. I liked the rice and shrimp too but I'm not sure what meat they call steak as it was overcooked and tough. The chicken was dry. I'd rather pay more for better quality meat. I don't see myself returning here. read more

This place has some of the best Mexican Food around. My wife and I love their chicken, fish, and their shrimp dishes the most. We highly recommend their chicken taco salad, their Tilapia Veracruzana, their chicken or shrimp a la crema (or the hotter version, a la Chipotle), their chicken quesadillas, and their traditional chicken, shrimp, steak or tilapia dishes. We are fans of their Mexican ground beef as it is not flavored the way I like that. Their prices have gone up but not as much as many other restaurants and their portion sizes almost always allow you to bring food home for an additional one or even two meals. And they have their "Taco Tuesday" special where you can get a large chicken, veggie or ground beef taco for just a $1.50. I think their flour tortillas are homemade and are very good. read more

You know, I am really disappointed. I came here for a late lunch with my friend. Her and her family come here a lot, so she was excited - that made me excited because she loves a great restaurant. When we arrived, we were one of maybe three other tables - so they weren't busy (at that moment). The waitress came with fresh salsa and chips - delicious! Since we were talking we did take a while to decide on what we wanted. The waitress was very pleasant and allows us to chat and take our time without pressure to order. We placed our order and well...that's when things went a little down hill. We probably waited about 20 to 25 mins for the food. Not a problem at all. While waiting the restaurant got busy! Like a group of over 15 people came to dine. It was crazy busy then. The hostess comes to the table with our food. My friend and I said at the same time, this is it?! It was such a sad looking burrito and it gets worse from there. The beans were salty, the rice was cold, the burrito was COLD. Like not even a little warm - the cheese hadn't melted! We waved down the hostess, she told us she would get the waitress. Y'all it took her forever to come because of the big party. When she arrived we explained and she was like it's cold? Ma'am, I have no reason to lie...it was the tone. At that moment, I was over it and told her I was good. She then changed up and offered to have it remade or maybe something else - no thank you. My friend and I finished our convo and she brought the check once she realized my friend was done. I wouldn't say this isn't the place, clearly a lot of people love it here from all the people that were coming in and calling their orders in. I'll chalk it up to an off day. read more

Los Tres Magueyes - Burrito California - Mexican Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

The low down: You can't help but feel festive when you eat at this location. The decor is top notch (see photos) food is good, large portions but it's typical to any other Mexican restaurant in my opinion. Service was adequate A great experience overall, enjoyed it more than the one I typically frequent in Rolesville. I just so happen to have a BOGO coupon for LTM that will expire in December so for a change of pace decided to try the one located in Wake Forest. When I walked I immediately felt as though I was at a fiesta and wishing I had brought a sombrero. The restaurant had quite a few patrons given it was 1:30 on a Sat. In the past I have frequented the LTM in Rolesville, so I was surprised to see how differently this one was decorated, but loved it ( yea, same owner, I asked). Three meals were ordered, Arroz con Pollo, Fajita quesadilla and a kids chicken nugget w fries (don't judge, she's 10). The portion sizes for all 3 meals were more than adequate. In total, with the BOGO coupon we spent 24$ (that included 2 waters and a beer). Food came out quickly, our server attended to our needs in a timely manner. The only reason I give a 4 versus 5 is because there was nothing that was above and beyond ( other than the decor). read more

In my opinion, this is one of the best Mexican restaurants for the money. Good food and nice portion sizes. We eat in and take out since this is our go to spot! read more

I was deciding between a 3 or a 4 star. Going with a 4. Placing a take out order was fast and easy and pick up was fast as well. I didn't have to wait. Burrito Tejano - as in other reviews, this was very good , I love the creamy sauce and the meat and shrimp inside are well seasoned. Quesadilla combo - not too impressed. My son didn't find it enticing. Tilapia Cancun - the sauce was way too overpowering and a bit too spicy. Otherwise this could be a good dish. Will come again to try sth else. read more

Ate here when we were traveling in Wake Forest...it had a good size parking lot, the restaraunt was festive and servers were great. We ordered whole fried fish --- they were perfectly fried and also the salad with grilled shrimp --- and the shrimp was deliciously grilled. This is a quick stop for a very good meal. read more

Called ahead for a pick up order - place was hopping! We had to wait longer than the 15-20 minutes due to how busy it was, a lot of drive up orders. We got ACP (arroz con pollo) and it was delicious! Packaged well, chips and salsa included, tortillas as well and silverware. Definitely a new fave dish! read more

Great place for lunch! Good service and food. Nice decor inside. Lunch fajitas were tasty and hot. Good quality chicken. Burritos are BIG! Full of tasty ingredients. This is a very good place, glad its so close to home for me. read more

I are there on Saturday, Tuesday and today. First day waiter brought rice when I ordered the beans. Then brought cold beans. Went back Tuesday to get a better feel, and it was better. Today there were a few ants on the table. Got 3 with my napkin thinking that was it. Then along comes another one and I got the attention of one of the waiters. Paying for my meal was not an issue for me but all the manager seemed to care about was whether I had my ticket in order to pay. Went on to speak about being a small business and a customer could have brought the ant in or the weather. She concentrated on the 1 ant her waiter saw when I had already smashed 3 in the napkin. Attitude of the manager was more about the business than customer service. read more

We love this place. Service and food is always great! Highly recommend the ACP, steak tacos and queso. Best Mexican in WF

I have enjoyed all the meals I've had here. My favorite is the veggie fajita quesadilla. The service is great, and the atmosphere is fun and colorful!! Good job! read more

We usually won't eat anywhere less than 4 stars but the proximity to our hotel chose this for us, and it's the best surprise in town! Born and raised in Texas, I know good TexMex, and this is it! Service was prompt and excellent. Chips are thicker which I like. Salsa is perfectly robust. Queso is quite thin but white and tasty. Everyone's food was impressive. Fajitas, a massive loaded quesadilla, cheese enchiladas, and a loaded chicken burrito thing. Portions are HUGE! The 3 men at our table had plenty of leftovers. The best part saved for last: I don't like margaritas... but whimsically decided to order a strawberry(?) margarita, extra sweet. He said he made it special just for me, and he's absolutely right about that! If words could describe the yummiest yummy I've ever had... I could do a much better job of telling you just how delicious (and potent!) this drink actually was! read more

Los Tres Magueyes - I think it was a strawberry margarita, extra sweet, on the rocks, sugar rim. Best drink I've ever had! - Mexican Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

Super fast service and friendly staff. Crowded for Friday lunch. I love the thick cut chips and they give a huge portion of smooth salsa. We both had lunch combinations-Speedy Gonzalez and #6 with cheese quesadilla & beef burrito. read more

This is the place to come to if you're looking for great Tex-Mex food! Everything is delicious. From the warm chips and tasty salsa to my chicken fajitas I was in Heaven! My companion had a chicken quesadilla which he devoured. The owners and staff are the nicest in the area and make sure their patrons are happy. Don't bother going anywhere else. This is the gold standard! read more

Loved the food. Takeout delivered well packaged and piping hot. Alternatively, dining in has also been most satisfactory. Great service and pleasant ambiance. read more

Food was ordered via phone and I was told the wait would be 25 minutes. I drove 1.8 miles and arrived 10 minutes early, food was on the counter top. Drove 1.8 miles back to home opened the food and it was room temperature. I had a burrito, tortilla shell was like shoe leather, steak was cold, shredded lettuce and onion pieces the size of half dollars. Chips had no flavor and salsa 4 ounces only half full. Terrible experience, over priced for quality of preparation and taste. Won't be back. read more

They are SLOOOOOOOW! We ordered 4 tacos and a burrito! We sat over 45 mins while everyone around us was eating and leaving. Most of them came in within 5 min. intervals of us. When asked where was our food after waiting he said it's being prepared!!!!!! PREPARED????? Sir I'm 9 mo's pregnant hungry and ready to eat! Never again read more

Ordered takeout and waited 45 minutes from the supposed completion time for my meal. A family who walked in when I arrived ate their meal there, paid, and left all while I was standing there, awaiting the completion of my pickup order. One of the items I ordered was missing but I didn't have the energy to return. The food was delicious. I have eaten here before and the camerones a la diabla is one of my favorite Mexican meals around. We had a $95 order and I would definitely eat here again. The overall experience was suboptimal. read more

Hard to go wrong with Mexican food. It looks like a hole in the wall, but is much more of a sit-down family restaurant inside. Food was decent and well-priced, but certainly not the best I've ever had. Good service. read more

Eh, it was ok but nothing remarkable. Basic Mexican food with nothing to distinguish it from other small chains and honestly I don't think I'll bother going back since even in Cary there are much better options read more

THEY ARE OPEN FOR TAKE OUT if you're tired of Chinese food and pizza , stop by here for a fresh meal. The veggie fajitas are amazing. It seems to be a small 1-2 man show here, so come show them some love and support a small business. Thank you for staying open to serve our community. read more

Friendly staff, good food at an affordable price. Enjoyed the shrimp salad and queso. Guacamole was not "real" which was disappointing

If I could give this place a zero I would, I was in the mood for Mexican food, I placed an order for pick up consisting of a number 23 (burrito,taco,rice and beans). I requested steak in the burrito I ordered. When I got home I opened up the foil which contained a "taco" to my surprised this was not a Mexican taco that I know and was expecting to receive. If I wanted a taco that looked like one from tacobell I would have bought one from their. I cut open the burrito and noticed it did not contain steak rather it had ground beef!!! I drove over 15min for this food and expect it to be how I ordered it!!! The ground beef had no taste, looked like dog food to me. Very disappointed with the quality of the food and would not label this place authentic Mexican food!!! read more

First off let me say it's super cute inside and considering how busy it is it's pretty clean. HOWEVER...the food was horrific!!! It was either incomplete (missing sides or ingredients that were described on the menu), soggy or drowning in sauce. My chili relleno, normally my favorite dish, was inedible, completely filled with seeds! Now I can understand the kitchen having an off day but the customer service here was the worst. When we attempted to speak the our waitress about our incorrect order she just walked away...not sure what is going on with this place but it was our first and definitely our last time. read more

As Mexican is not usually my first choice, I'm happy that we decided to try this. They have a nice selection of veggie options. I ordered the veggie fajitas minus the shrooms and while I would have liked more peppers, it was quite tasty with zucchini, broccoli, peppers and onions. Also came with a side of guacamole on top of lettuce. Theses are served with flour tortillas but no problem switching out for corn. The decor is very colorful and service was great. Owner came at end to ensure all was good. They have coupons on website for different savings so be sure to check it out. read more

This is an excellent restaurant for great food and service! We will definitely come back again.

Service was great, super fast, great prices for the food. In and out in 20 minutes. Very quick to serve and gives you chips and salsa right away. Also great hospitality. read more

I've only been here one other and the food was excellent so we decided to try it again and were very glad we did. They have great lunch and drink specials and the wait staff is very knowledgeable about the food. You know a Mexican restaurant is good when the local Hispanics go regularly. I'd suggest anyone in the WF area to come in and enjoy the food here. read more

This is our Go to Mexican spot in Wake Forest! The food is always good and we have never had anything bad. I am addicted to the ACPC, it's a dish with Chicken and Shrimp, rice and queso and you get tortillas with it , always awesome! The tacos are good and when my wife gets a cold she always wants the chicken tortilla soup! They do take out as well as some in. For the true Southerners in the crowd they make good sweet tea as well. If you have not been for some reason , give it a go. read more

Worst Mexican food our family has ever eaten. The super nachos were made of a liquid cheese sauce (not queso), that was soggy and had no flavor. The ground beef in the enchilada and burrito were terrible. And the salsa is bland, tastes like blended tomatoes with nothing in it. Worst thing, they didn't even get our order correct. We asked for chicken, not beef in the enchilada and burrito. Also asked for a super nachos with no meat and got chicken all over it. read more

Again, as with every other Mexican place in the area this has the same menu. It's like there is some Mexican mafia that says you shall only serve this. It's not a bad menu I just like my restaurants that are locally owned to have some variety. I mean I could go to on the border if wanted the same every where. Service is very fast. They really have a great way of taking the order and turning out molten hot food. I have tried many dishes there and they are quite good. Just there as good as the three other places within a two mile radius that have totally different names and layouts but the. Same. Damn. Menu. So if your in the Mexican mood you can just hit the closest place because they are all the same. Maybe they're owned by the same family or something but a little variety between locations wouldn't hurt them at all read more

This little place was a lot better than I'd remembered. We headed out in the rain on the search for some nachos. We stumbled into Los Tres and the joint was packed on a Friday night. We read over the menu for some margaritas and settled on the Texas Margarita after the waiter gave us the description that contained three types of alcohol. Come to momma! Their chips are light and crisp and the salsa had a bit of a kick to it. It all paired nicely with the delicious margarita. Hubbs loves the chorizo dip which is nothing put pure artery clogging heaven. Its fried chorizo layered in melted queso served on a plate. Enjoy with these crispy chips and you have yourself a really comforting and relaxing appetizer! For dinner I found my nachos and added guacamole, pico de gallo, and jalapenos. The portion was large and the flavors were delish. The pico was super spicy and I enjoyed every bite! The jalapenos were HUGE and hubbs and I fought over who got the last one. Hubbs ordered some ginormous combination platter that contained about 3 plates full of food for $10. Pretty unbelievable amount of yummy goodness. The favorite thing on his plates was his enchilada, but nothing much was left when he was done! We'll definitely be back when we don't want to head too far from home for some yummy Mexican food! read more

The food at Los Tres is standard Americanized Mexican fare. I was here both Friday for lunch and again, Sunday for lunch. The food was good, though, very good. Another recommendation from the engineer at the studio. Friday, the service was extremely lacking and I was swearing to myself I was going to give the place a two star review. Refills were few and far between and our table had to flag down another server to finally get some refills on our drinks. When I talked to a friend at church about our experience, he asked me to bring my family there again for lunch after church to give it another try. The service was remarkably better on Sunday. Apparently, my friend is a regular at this Los Tres location and knew exactly which server we had for lunch on Friday. My next biggest complaint for this and other Mexican places - no habanero hot sauce! read more

The food had zero flavor. The enchiladas and burritos had nothing but ground up cheap burger and NO FLAVOR. I mean nooooo flavor. Beans had no flavor and neither did the rice. First time, and last time. Maybe all his money goes into that nice new truck sitting out front. read more

Been eating there for 15 years. Always enjoyed it, but something has changed. Food and service very poor the last two times.
