    Margarita Flight
    Dominique B.

    Tried this hidden gem and let me say it was nothing short of amazing! We started with the margarita flight and I could have drank them several times they were all so god and refreshing. I got steak with veggies and chorizo mashed potatoes can we say my mouth was watering. The side of chimichuri sauce was absolutely chef's kiss. This is now my new go to for Mexican!

    Very, very good dinner at Mamacita's! The fajitas texanas were delicious and the portions are very generous. Well seasoned and very fresh. The addition of the two little cheese quesadillas was nice and they were so good. Really delicious meal, will definitely eat here again.

    The new Mamacita location took over the old Al's BBQ which I loved, however I'm not upset that Mamacita is there now! The food is great and they really take pride in the presentation of their food and drinks which I appreciate. The location is bigger than the other Wake Forest location however is still not huge. We went on a Tuesday at 7:00pm and it was quite busy! They have daily drink and food specials so make sure to check them out on social media or on the board they have out front of the restaurant. Can't wait to work through the menus both food & drink!

    Once again... good experience. Our food is really good and fresh. They make delicious sauces and marinades. We were here a couple days ago and thought we should try it again and they did not disappoint. The service is great and the chef even checked in on us too.

After running errands, we drove just six minutes to El Chapin, a Guatemalan restaurant. Forget Tex-Mex--this is a completely different Latin cuisine experience. The two of us spent $76 (including tax and tip), but we intentionally ordered extra to take home leftovers. Parking was easy, right out front, and the restaurant itself is spacious. Since we arrived just a few minutes after opening, we had the place to ourselves at first and were seated immediately. Service was prompt and very helpful--the server even suggested we might have ordered too much food (he was right, but we didn't mind!). Here's what we tried: Plato Chorizo y Longaniza - a sausage platter with salad, rice, refried black beans, and two delicious housemade corn tortillas. Pollo Adobado - marinated chicken with rice, salad, refried black beans and two housemade corn tortillas . Ceviche de Camarón - fresh and tangy, though light on shrimp, which tasted a bit tough Fried Plantains - perfectly done, sweet, and satisfying. Plus, I had an unsweetened iced tea with lemon. The highlights for me were the flavorful rice (with vegetables mixed in, including carrots and squash), the marinated chicken, and the sausages. The plantains were also excellent. The ceviche had great flavor but could've used more shrimp. The only miss for me was the salad--generous in portion but iceberg-based, so a bit bland. Overall, the food was fresh, flavorful, not heavy or greasy, and we left with enough for another one or two meals. We'll definitely be back.

    Wednesday has officially become my favorite day of the week thanks to Cape Fear Seafood Company!…read moreTheir half-price crab legs are hands down one of the best deals around--and they're absolutely delicious! The crab legs were perfectly cooked, sweet, tender, and came out steaming hot. Crack, dip in butter, repeat... it's basically a workout I don't mind doing! The service was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was relaxed, and everything about the experience made me want to stay a little longer. Great seafood, generous portions, and an unbeatable Wednesday special? That's a winning combination. If you're a crab leg fan, do yourself a favor and make Wednesday your Cape Fear Seafood day. Just be prepared--you'll leave happy, full, and already planning your next visit!

We couldn't decide which was better, they were both delicious, not at all the cafeteria restaurant soup we almost expected, but very homemade. $5 a cup, but $3.90 since we ordered lunch menu items. Well worth the money! Lunch was Fish 'n Chips for me; super good crispy fried white fish, not greasy at all, which is the sure fire way to ruin any fried meal. The fries are really good, too, almost McDonaldy. Comes with tartar, ketchup, malt vinegar (asked for), and a really good garlic aioli. Hubs had Shrimp Risotto, which was blackened shrimp over really creamy risotto with red peppers, scallion, and tomato. Delicious. Also couldn't decide who got the better lunch. Our lunch specials were less than $15 each, a bargain today, and we each took half home. Hubs also had a beer, and I had the house Cabernet, which was really smooth. Around $50 for everything; didn't mind spending that at all since everything was so good. Really glad we found this newer place; fingers crossed it doesn't go the way of so many downhill the longer they're here.
