There are many reasons but I'll give a few: 1) Fresh guacamole is the best I've had. 2) Food always comes out quickly and hot. 3) I recommend their pollo chipotle. Service- The service is always efficient and friendly, and the restaurant is spotless. It doesn't feel like you'd walked into a locker room with sticky floors, and stale smells. Ambience- the interior has a really nice wood decor. It has the feel of a small town family restaurant. They have a nice bar area as well.

My girlfriend's chimichanga was good - but if it was fried as ordered it certainly wasn't crunchy like you'd expect.

We ordered Teslas Fajitas for two and a couple house margaritas. The fajitas came out piping hot as expected with warm flour tortillas. The salad was lettuce, guacamole, sour cream and diced tomatoes. Also on the side was refried beans and Mexican rice. Everything was prepared to perfection and quite flavorful. The margaritas were just right and quite large. The service was exceptional as well. Our server made numerous trips to our table to check food quality and refill waters. Everything was on point! Zero complaints.

You can sit and overlook the Neuse while eating... it's just a win-win-win! We've been eating here weekly for about 4 months and haven't been disappointed once. (One time they made my special order quesadilla wrong and when I discovered it and let them know, no problem, they remade it (and let us keep the incorrect one which we gave to a friend))! There are other food trucks here which are also great, but we haven't found anything to rival Daniel's! Our favorites are the sopas ($2 each), quesadillas ($2 each), and today I had the burrito ($3) which was fabulous! Their salads ($6) are HUGE! Tons of fresh veggies! I'll add photos of food next week (I didn't think of it until it was in our bellies.) Anyway, highly recommend Daniel's! When you are looking at the Flea Market building, they are located all the way to the left against the tree-line with the Neuse River as a backdrop.
