    The name pretty much summarizes the menu. I didn't have a single "ummm. no" at all, although I didn't try everything. The pork taco had me wishing I had ordered two, but then I wouldn't have tried the chicken arepa. The arepa was equally as good, although the chicken, eaten by itself, was dry if you had a bite without the arepa itself. That's not unusual though. It's meant to be eaten together. Even then, it didn't take away from the flavor. The hot sauce was not overly so and the green sauce was mild enough to punch up the flavor without overwhelming the meat. Both of the sauces are served on the side. This is an unusual food truck -- at least for me -- where the order was ready almost as quickly as I finished paying. I could see them making the food, so I know it wasn't all pre-made. If you're fortunate enough to come across this food truck, try it. Quick service, friendly people and good street food -- that's about all you need. Oh, and to the person who absconded with the tip jar at the festival? Karma happens.

    Yay for food trucks coming to the neighborhood

    Yummy! Food truck was in our neighborhood and I figured I would try out their food Venezuelan and Tex-mex. I ordered the torta, chicken arepa and nachos. The torta was sooo good, very flavorful and I loved the bread they used. The nachos were also good, they meat is well seasoned and they gave good portions. The arepa was my least favorite, I didn't like the shredded chicken as it wasn't as flavorful for me. Overall great food, the Torta is a must try. To bad I didn't have room for a taco.

    The MexiArepa food truck was in my neighborhood and I was craving nachos. The service was quick and good. The employee was friendly and engaged with his work. The nachos were 4 star. The chips were a little soggy. The steak was good and finely diced. The food was decent but nothing out of the ordinary. I would try something elsee they offer if I am craving Mexican food or an Arepa and they were in the neighborhood.

    Great food! These guys were really nice, definitely customer service based. Menu / prices were ok (on par with similar food trucks). Generous portions with plenty of topping choices. I ended up getting two arepas (one chicken, one steak). The chicken was good but the steak had much more flavor. Sadly, my second arepa got a bit soggy and fell apart ... might not have been fully cooked. Definitely try them!

    Every single item on the menu is delicious! Friendly staff and fast service. Arepas are the real deal and the avocado sauce is the best.

    Esmeralda Grill is a very authentic local Mexican spot that does a lot of things right, especially…read morewhen it comes to classic comfort dishes. I usually rotate between the tacos, enchiladas, and molcajetes, and while the tacos themselves are just okay, the overall experience is solid. The fresh chips are easily some of the best I've had at a Mexican restaurant (warm and crisp). Add queso to those chips and it really seals the deal. They more than make up for the tacos being a bit underwhelming and are honestly reason enough to come back. This is a great neighborhood spot if you're looking for authentic flavors, generous portions, and excellent chips and dips (biggest downside is no liquor aka no margaritas). Not every dish is a knockout, but the highlights keep it comfortably in 4-star territory.

    Esmeralda Grill absolutely rocks, and it was almost a restaurant that I considered avoiding because…read moreI ordered the wrong thing. I was really one mayonnaise filled torta away from missing out on my favorite Mexican restaurant of Cary. The food is some of the freshest and most authentic in the area, and is consistently spot on. Forget heavy burritos or overly sauced enchiladas, this place is the real deal. When you come to Esmeralda Grill, you should really focus on the meat heavy dishes, whether it be via land or sea. There are so many different options to choose from, from both categories. When thinking seafood, expect the full fish. If you find yourself with the fresh grilled tilapia, you will receive a delicious whole fish that tastes as if it was caught that morning. It is such a fantastic option. I also appreciate the camarones a la diabla, or Diablo shrimp. The shrimp are plump and juicy, the spice of the dish is excites your taste buds and is a great dish. My favorite entrees are the land meat dishes though. El Trio Perfecto is my go-to order, it is grilled steak, chicken and pork all on one plate with rice, beans, salad, and tortillas. The Mexican spice rub on the meats is absolutely mouth watering, the flavors are so bold and tasty. The meats are all cooked to perfection and the portions are gigantic. You can make different tacos with the various meats, it is seriously one of my favorite Mexican dishes. I would highly recommend this! Additionally, Esmeralda Grill has so many other wonderful dishes for different flavor profiles. My grandparents are pretty particular about empanadas, but simply cannot get enough of Esmeralda's version. They also make some killer tacos, and some very affordable ones if you were to come on Tuesday! The moral of the story? Don't base your opinion of a restaurant after a single visit. You don't come across a fantastic hole in the wall every day, Esmeralda Grill is one that every Mexican food lover should know!

    When you think of a Mexican chain, you probably think of a restaurant where you order one of those…read morebig piping hot combination platters with the world's largest plate, loaded with some mix of burritos, enchiladas, tacos, etc. The food itself is average, the service is quick and the portions are large, it is just alright but enjoyable. Mi Cancun is not your ordinary Mexican chain restaurant. The atmosphere is lively, service is attentive, decor is cozy and the food is elevated. They start you off with their unlimited chips and salsa. I've had bad chips quite a few times in recent memory at Mexican restaurants, but these are enjoyable. I blink and sudden I am getting a refill. The waiters do a great job going around, making sure you are taken care of. Others push a guacamole cart as a potential appetizer. The service here is good and friendly! There are so many different options at Mi Cancun, they have a huge menu. They have the aforementioned combination platters, but you can also order grilled meats, seafoods, individual tacos and other specialties. I'm a pretty big ACP (arroz con pollo) guy and Mi Cancun puts a neat twist on theirs. Instead of old overcooked rice and overly thick cheese, their ACP is always really fresh with smaller strips of delicious and seasoned chicken, warm cheese and even spicy peppers. The peppers add good flavor and kick, also some vegetables! Every other item I've had here is pretty great as well. They are a Mexican restaurant that has a designated vegetarian section, so I've had some of those and they're good alternatives! It is not just, "let's cram as much frozen veggies into a tortilla." Their diablo shrimp are also good and they recently added beef tongue (lengua) tortas to the menu. This might be my new favorite item, the lengua is so tender and flavorful. Mi Cancun is one of the few places in the area that is busy every night, and for good reason! The food is great and you are taken care of when you're there. This Morrisville location I believe is the original, and they do a fantastic job at upholding this chain's reputation.

    Updated Review. February 24, 2026…read more The portions have really changed for the worst. A parrillada dish is now half of what it used to be. As a family of four, we'd order the full size and eat comfortably. Now, two can only eat. The parrillada for one, is literally just for one, but before 2 of us would eat and we'd still bring some home. Prices of skyrocketed, understanding with the economy we're in.
