They tasted exactly like my grandma used to make when I lived in Mexico. The right amount of spice, tangy and the eggs on top perfect. For dinner - please get the chile relleno - poblano pepper stuffed with shrimp. Flavors just together nicely with the chipotle crema they drizzle on top. Service - A+ Ambiance - they have these wonderful murals all around that give the place a positive and energetic vibe. The music is a little on the loud side but since one is focusing on all the amazing flavors, it really is not a deterrent.

Came here for dinner with a friend and we both had a great time. We sat outside which was so nice-…read morethe patio is covered and they were playing great music. Our server was also very nice! Their chips and salsa are yummy- you get two dip options, both of which are very tasty. For my main I got the steak fajitas- yum! Perfectly cooked and really delicious. I've been here a couple of times, every time the food is good. The nachos are one of my favorites! I recommend stopping by on a nice day to grab a margarita.

If my mom (who was neither Mexican nor good at cooking) attempted to make a Tex-Mex style dinner,…read morethis feels like what she would've come up with, using her trusty arsenal of store-brand white american cheese; off-brand Wonder bread; and the cheapest greying meat, from the cheapest grocery store, roused from its long slumber in a cling-wrapped styrofoam bed in the freezer. The tortillas did indeed taste like white bread, somehow. The cheese was an unidentifiable white cheese-like substance. The meat was completely flavorless and seemingly unseasoned, though, it did, at least, taste and look like it likely came from a recognizable member of the cattle family (rather than some other, less ideal, quadrupedal sources of red meat). The chips had the traditional shape and color of chips in a typical Tex-Mex restaurant. Despite the reassuring outward appearance, however, they were also oddly lacking in flavor, other than a strange movie popcorn-like aftertaste. The salsa unexpectedly seemed to have been fashioned from actual tomatoes, rather than the usual jarred mush found at most casual Tex-Mex restaurants. While normally this would be a good thing, here it meant that the salsa was being prepared in-house (or shipped in from the Chuy's warehouse of condiments). Though the salsa was acceptably mediocre, it benefitted from tasting a little better than other things on the table, which also helped me partially forgive its remarkable resemblance to gastric effluvium.

We were looking for a good Tex-Mex place for a family dinner. Superica delivered!…read more The food is absolutely delicious. The menu accurately describes the dishes, and we all were pleased with what we ordered. The fajitas portion was massive! And there was a huge amount of steak in the steak tacos. The server was very nice and understood the menu well, which was important because a member of our party had dietary restrictions (gluten). My only slight dislike was that the music is crazy loud. We sat in a booth and conversation was difficult to hear.

CAUTION: Disgusting Tacos Ahead!…read more My wife and I had lunch on Friday, June 1. Let me start with the one thing that was good, then elaborate on everything else, which was not ... especially the "scab" tacos. Really?! Scab tacos??!! [They chose the name, not me. Bet they would like a do-over. Just sayin'.] THE GOOD - The smokey, deep brown salsa served slightly warm was quite tasty. EVERYTHING ELSE: 1. I had the Shrimp Diablo Tacos and they were a disaster! Not only was the shrimp fishy, but the "costra style" shells were an absolute abomination: VERY greasy, amazingly unattractive (see photo), and likely packed 800 calories each due to the grease and cheese. Since there was only 1 bar of web connection, I was unable to Google "costra style" before ordering. Had I been able to do so, the description of being "scab like" (yep! You read that correctly!! Scab!!!) would have made the dish a No Go. That said, I will say the term is accurate: they were DEFINITELY scab-like in appearance, and the degree of grease oozing off of them put me not only in mind of a scab, but one attached to an infected wound. Barf!! 2. My wife's #1 from the lunch menu was about as basic as a taco and enchilada can be. She even told me it was a stretch to call it Mexican food. 3. And one final point: the place is L-O-U-D inside. Not quite - but almost - to the degree of being unable to talk while eating. Adios!

A big, bright bar is off to the right as you walk in. The decor is very nice, Mexican but better than most places. The chips and salsa came quickly. I like the salsa, different than most places, not too spicy. We ordered a combo that had an enchilada, burrito, quesadilla, rice and refried beans. There is a choice of ground beef, chicken or cheese. There is burrito had an unusual sauce, but I liked it. The quesadilla had a decent amount of cheese and chicken. A big serving of rice and beans and the chips went well with it all. Service was prompt and a manager came to check on us as well as our great waitress. We will return.

The smashburger was phenomenal!!! It had their special sauce, jalapeños, lettuce, tomato, and cheese on it. The burger was well seasoned and cooked just right with those smashburger crispy edges. The chicken tenders were also well seasoned, crispy, fresh, and actually tender to the bite. The fries had the perfect amount of salt and crisp and I didn't expect to get it, but my meal also came with a nice slice of texas toast. Overall, I left with a good first impression, and am definitely coming back next time I'm in Raleigh. Customer Service: Upon arrival, the owner introduced herself to me and welcomed me in. She was soooooo friendly!!! I appreciated her entrusting me to one of her cashiers for recommendations when I told her it was my first visit! He was down to earth and very outgoing when asking what I had a taste for and how hungry I was and advising how he hooks his food up! Needless to say, him recommending the special was the best idea!
