I came back after my last review and had a much better experience, so I'm hoping the earlier staffing issues have been resolved. We were seated without a reservation on a busy Saturday night, and the hostess was kind and really intentional about making sure we were comfortable. The food was delicious and came out quickly. My one piece of feedback is to skip the basic margaritas and choose your own tequila. Our server didn't seem very familiar with the drink menu--when I asked for a spicy margarita, I was brought "The OG," which wasn't spicy and had something in it that just didn't work for me. I switched to a margarita with Casamigos mezcal and it was amazing. Overall, a solid spot in Fenton for good food, especially if you're with a group. Bonus points for letting us linger a bit longer to wait out a rainstorm with another round. read more

Superica - Enchilada Cheese - Tex-Mex Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Excellent service!!! Loved our waiter. Food came without much of a wait. The restaurant was full both inside and out. (I like that there is an outdoor dining space that gives you a view of Fenton's green space and movie theatre crowd.) In spite of all this, I think I may have ordered the wrong items perhaps. This was my first visit and I did not research the most popular items. As a consequence, my chicken fajitas were just average compared to other places I've dined and my daughter's crunchy chicken tacos were ok. I would visit again but would definitely try a different entree. read more

I'm a big fan to Mexican food so I'm usually a little disappointed with Tex Mex as I'm from So CA. I set my sights on being open minded and really enjoyed this meal. We had a party of 7, with 3 kids. Lots of commotion which our server handled with grace. Very well trained staff which goes a long way toward an enjoyable experience. The chips, salsas, guacamole and fresh dip were top notch. Everyone enjoyed them and there was enough for us all. My husband and I shared chicken enchiladas suiza and shrimp tacos. The ingredients were fresh and the plates were appealing. We really enjoyed the flavors. Not Mexican but more southern mex. The sauce on the suiza was a little too much in quantity. Side orders of beans and rice were "family style" which gave us the option to eat what we enjoyed most. We had two members of our group try the fajitas with pork belly. They enjoyed it. Lots of veggies and just enough meat. The ambience is beautiful. Lots of seating options inside and out. Our tab came to $250 for a family of 7. Not inexpensive but a nice event out for Easter Sunday. read more

Cute spot at Fenton with indoor and outdoor seating. We started with cocktails - The Hibiscus (light and refreshing) and The Highway Man (boozier, but delicious). The table is served with chips and 2 style salsas - Smokey chipotle and milder green. I didn't love either salsa, but appreciate their complimentary. For dinner, we had steak tacos ($29 - OUCH!) and chicken tacos. They were fine, but not worth the cost. We ordered a second round of drinks before our food arrived and they never made it to the table, so we opted to have them taken off the bill. read more

the food here was tasty! I was nervous about bringing my family here because they don't usually eat this type of food but they loved it! this place has been on my list for a while so I am glad I finally got to check it out! I am so thankful to the team here for allowing us to move our reservation time up to celebrate my brothers graduation read more

Sat outside on a nice Friday afternoon and enjoyed the patio with the house margarita. We split the large fajitas and still had some leftover. Chips and salsa were also really good. The service was great and attentive as well. Would definitely come back. read more

Superica - Tex-Mex Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Superica Tex-Mex at Fenton absolutely nailed it. We went on a Sunday afternoon and were seated right away--no waiting, no chaos, just instant Tex-Mex happiness. The atmosphere is spot-on and fun, from the adorable old bicycle seats with vintage handlebars shaped like cow heads (horns and all) to the agave plants lining the walls. It feels playful, intentional, and very on-brand. The food? Outstanding. I ordered the chicken breast fajitas and was pleasantly surprised to get an actual full chicken breast, skin on, seasoned to perfection. Juicy, thick, and cooked exactly right. (I was going to make a joke here... but I'll behave. Mostly.) Because of a gluten allergy, I swapped the homemade flour tortillas for corn with zero issues. The fajitas come with a little garlic butter you pour over everything--clever, indulgent, and delicious. Bonus points for not overloading the fajitas with bell peppers. Just grilled onions, which are my personal love language. Service was solid and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, it was one of those meals where you're already planning your next visit before you've paid the bill. Can't wait to go back and try something else--this place is officially in the rotation. read more

When I moved from Houston, TX to Virginia, my Tex-Mex and Mexican options were 'barely tolerable' to 'I would not be able to in good conscience serve this to my most hated enemy even if God Himself said it was a just punishment'. Ground 'bits' of underseasoned chicken for fajitas. Stale, store-brought, heavily preserved tortillas. Lifeless salsa and stale chips. I wanted to ask many of the restaurant owners whose establishments I dined at, "who made your recipes, and did they have a grudge against humanity? Did they make it their sworn mission to destroy all things good and wholesome?" When I moved to Cary, NC, I looked for Tex-Mex, someplace that would serve decent chicken fajitas, and by chance I happened to come across Superica and photos of their chicken fajitas- proper large strips of chicken. So me and my family went, our expectations rather low after dozens of disappointments. I reasoned that a restaurant that presented fajitas in such a palatable way must know what they're doing. We instantly fell in love. The chips and sauces were perfect, better than what we had back in Houston. The service was impeccable. And the chicken fajitas made me feel vindicated not only in choosing the restaurant, but a place to live. My only warning to would-be diners is to not make the same mistake I did- which is to do a walk-in- and to call ahead in advance, but that was on me. One can hardly blame Superica for providing such good food and service that it beckons everyone to flock to them. Well, I suppose I *could*, but that would be grossly unfair and I like to think myself above such banal pettiness. 5/5, no complaints, and my parents- who are, like me, unapologetic foodies- want to visit again ASAP. read more

Our family and friends always enjoy this restaurant. It's conveniently located close to the Fenton theater and shops. The food is tasty and the service is friendly. The atmosphere is casual and lively. You can make reservations easily on Open Table. read more

Visited with my family of 5. It was a very busy night at Fenton, but they were able to immediately seat us, which was nice. Our waiter was great, which made the experience much better. The prices are high, but to be expected for the location. The chips and dip were awesome! The food was average and a bit disappointing for the price, but not bad. The flavors were good. Our tab came to $190 after tax and tip for the 5 of us. We'd return, but not often. Much prefer Mi Cancun. read more

I've been here three times. The food is always pretty good - a huge highlight is the fresh warm tortillas that smell exactly like my late Abuela's. Just nostalgic bliss. However, I came here to write about the service. On Sunday, we brought our kids ice skating and stopped in for a quick bite. Our server was just the best. I wish I could remember his name - but he was so fun, engaged with the kids and seemed to be enjoying his job. My 7 year old's favorite thing in the world is hot chocolate. He had been looking forward to it all day. We bought him a hot chocolate from the food truck outside. He made it a few sips in before he knocked it over at our table. Our kiddo was devastated, but we weren't going to go buy him a second $10 hot chocolate. After helping us clean it up, our server walked over to the food truck and explained what happened. They gave him a new hot chocolate on the house, which he delivered over to us and just said "I just hated to see him so sad". It was so kind and unexpected. He told us he has a better day when he gets to make others happy. I mean yes, we definitely gave him a good tip, but I genuinely think he meant it. This is the third time we've been here and every time we experience a team member going above and beyond. This place either has great management or just knows how to hire the right people. Either way, we'll be back. read more

Great spot located in Fenton. I've been a few times. Love their salsa - very fresh. I got the Taco Dinner with all three of the meat/veg options to try. Pretty large tacos. Came with rice and refried beans. Chicken tinga and ground beef tacos were very good. Fried avocado was just okay. I would probably get it not fried next time. Refried beans were good but rice was a little crunchy. $19 for the dinner, which feels steep but you do get a decent amount of food. The service was quick. Great spot for a Sunday lunch or dinner. read more

Thoughtful staff cool vibe and Food was really good. I'll def come back. What a great area.

Excellent food, loved the queso fundido and Diablo shrimp tacos. Solid drinks, and the service was great even though it was a packed Valentine's Day crowd. Fun vibe inside, and patio area still comfortable. Grab a reservation ahead of time! read more

Came here for an early dinner last night and enjoyed my meal, with a couple of caveats. First, since we came early, we were able to snag a table immediately, which was nice :) Almost immediately, the free chips and salsa arrived, and everything was very tasty! There were two salsa options: A refreshing avocado-based salsa and something a little spicier and more tomato-y. Both were good! The chips were very thin and crispy, which was generally a plus, although sometimes a chip would break when I was going for a scoop of salsa. I got the craft beer of the day, which was pretty meh. In general, the beer selection was OK but I would have preferred a little bit more variety. I ordered the tacos al carbon with grilled chicken for my entree, and they were OK but not great. The chicken was kind of dry and there just wasn't a lot going on - in hindsight, I think I should have ordered them "Rico style," which included queso and guacamole. Service was excellent throughout the meal, so no problems there. I'm absolutely open to coming back to Superica again, but I would definitely order a different entree. read more

Absolutely loved this place. We went there for dinner and had made reservations. The place is very cute but it can get pretty loud once it's gets super busy. Food- amazing!! Their chips are very lite but delicious. They have number of options when it comes to salsa. My fav was the one with avocado. I ordered quesadillas. It's in Fenton. Plenty of parking spots ( free). read more

Our favorite Mexican style restaurant in NC! The margaritas are delicious (try the ginger margarita), the chili con queso is so dippy and delicious, the portions of food are always large enough to split. We have had the fajitas, tacos and relleno dish. You also get unlimited chips and 2 different salsas! The service is always super quick and has multiple runners that bring out your food in a timely manner. It has a great indoor (covered) and outdoor patio area. This is a place we always take our out-of-town guests, knowing it's always a hit! read more

My company hosted their annual party here. It was FANTASTIC! It made my husband and I go eat dinner there. Great atmosphere, excellent service and food. Margaritas are GREAT! If you go, and I hope you do, make sure you tip those servers well. They're so good. read more

Food was very expensive and low quality. We shared beef enchiladas and it was the blandest, stale piece of food we've had in a while. They didn't even use shredded beef, it was basically frozen ground beef. The tortillas used were quite honestly awful. It also tastes like it had freezer burn or something. For the price ($22 for only two medium-small enchiladas) would have expected a lot more. Also, the spicy margaritas we ordered were also very poorly done, did not taste good at all. The queso and vibe was good and the service was attentive, so there is that. I like that they do free chips and salsa. But we left thinking we would have preferred to go to Taco Bell after a $100 (!) bill. Chuy's is world's apart better than Superica after two visits to this location. read more

Really good tex mex! All the staff were so nice and intentional about wanting to do a good job (everyone we met seemed like they genuinely cared about being a good worker, and took their jobs seriously). The 3 taco plates are pretty big, the soft is finished on a grill (we think) so they're crispy (in a good way) too!! Rice and beans were delicious, guac was INCREDIBLE- especially with fresh lime, chips were light and crisp (super thin which we loved) not thick yellow preserved like some places give. Red and green salsa, loved both, complimentary with the thin chips. Guac comes with thick darker chips probably double fried if I had to guess. DELICIOUS watermelon marg (it was frozen but didnt feel sugary) and the guava marg may be my new fave cocktail... and Im not really a tequila fan! Staff reiterated lime and all the fruit juice was squeezed fresh and we could tell, didn't disappoint. Indoor and covered patio outdoor seating in front of the green lawn so kids could play or coloring book. Well done experience! read more

We had a great experience here with a large party of 8 (half of which were kids!) It was a super hot day, and right as we were sitting down, our amazing server Angelica rushed over with ice cold water for us! So very thoughtful AND NEEDED! The food was great! Their brunch menu was still going on at 3pm on a Sunday, which was a pleasant surprise! I got their chilaquiles and they were great! Hubby got the barbacoa tacos and they were delicious. Margaritas were also on point- I loved the spicy kick they had! Will have to try the pickle one next time House made popsicles were included in the kids meals and they were SO good. Totally stole my child's There's also a patio which overlooks the grassy area- perfect to let the kids play while you enjoy adult time. Another shout out to Angelica. She went above and beyond for our huge group. It's rare to find that kind of genuine hospitality these days. She asked right away for dietary restrictions and made us aware of what had pork in it (since we don't eat pork) She was caring and thoughtful, and even brought extra cherries for the kids Shirley temples. A diamond in this rough gen z world. Kids were happy and so were we! Highly recommend! read more

I wasn't impressed with Superica. Pros: The chips and salsa were tasty and, though small and a bit pricy, the hibiscus margarita was good. Cons: The chicken nachos were smothered in a very thick layer of refried beans, and garnished oddly. The chicken was fatty and burnt. I tried but just couldn't eat it. Our server seemed generally annoyed and was pushy - rushing us to order at first, then disappeared after we had finished our meals. Overall, not a great experience. If you're at Fenton, there are many better options. read more

COME FOR THE VIBES! Everything is vibrant, great details, and aesthetically pleasing. Plus can we talk about the incredible location? Fenton rocks. Service is excellent, great staff. Food is more tex than mex. The ingredients are fresh, but I just didn't find the wow factor in any of it. For example, the queso was literal melted cheese vs being a dip. I would come back again for drinks and hanging out but it wouldn't be my top choice for a meal. read more

i was actually blown away by our experience at superica! we went as a family of 4 on valentine's day so you already know it was packed. i did make reservations and we were seating within 2-3 minutes! the hostess was so sweet along with the other employees we talked to. our server was awesome and gave us the rundown since it was our first time. it was definitely hectic but all of our food came out pretty quickly! the classic queso was sooo good. my husband got the diablo shrimp tacos and we both agreed they were delicious. i ordered the steak fajitas and i think they are some of the best i've ever had. great portion size and they come with unlimited beans and rice which i thought was cool! the only that was slow to arrive were the drinks - i got a no-jito with was NA and we got one of their daily special iced teas! our server let us know they were a bit backed up which was no problem to us. both drink were great!! overall we had an awesome time and will definitely be back!! read more

I HATE leaving a poor review! Lunch yesterday was a disaster. Quesadillas... Dry, no cheese. Terrible. Sopa de Tortilla. Someone must have dropped an entire salt shaker in it. I passed it around the table for everyone to try. It was inedible. It tasted like salt water. Tacos pastor were on fire. The salad was the only good item out of 8 ordered. The server...hello? Where are you? Disappeared. Had to flag him down to order. Flag him down to get water. Flag him down to get the bill. Flag him down to remind him the kids wanted their popsicles. And it was not busy AT ALL. This was our second try. This was worse than the first. Too many good/great Mexican options in this area to come back, ever. I see several reviews about the salt...but I'm telling the tortilla soup was inedible. Would have told my server...but...he never came back to see if everything was okay. A disaster. read more

Service, great! Ambiance, awesome! Food - disappointed. We ordered the steak tacos, which by the way are almost $30. The meat was sooo chewy... honestly, it is not difficult to grill some steak. Their salsas are wonderful but honestly with so many options in town, I am not sure I will be back. read more

This is a 3-star for the recent visits / trends, not overall. Have been here a few times and the burritos / quesedillas were fine. They give you chips and salsa which is s nice touch. Portions were good. Recently unsure if there has been a change but there was a creepy bald bartender, who stood out -- lacking customer service and seemed like it was an extra chore to do his job we had to ask him for everything and some things twice. And he wasn't busy just avoiding working. Service may vary dramatically as the other waitresses and one of the older waiters were all attentive and what you would expect for NC. read more

Super rica is probably the worst tex mex or mexican restaurant i have ever experienced in the triangle. Not sure what type of restaurant they are trying to be. Their portions are really small and ridiculous. Service was ok. But charging that much for the amount of food they serve should be a crime. Taste was bland at best. read more

Nice spot in the developing upscale Fenton complex. Attractive and clean interior, with music that makes conversation a little challenging. The service was attentive and prompt. The food was excellent from the tacos, to quesadillas, to the chicken relleno, all three really enjoyed their dinners. House margaritas were tasty, but modest. read more

My daughter sent her food back due to hair. Not only did they not comp the meal but charged us twice to get the second one made. I asked them to take off the second meal when we saw the bill. If you notice the kitchen, no one is wearing a hair net. One another note, I asked for second beer and it took so long I asked another waiter to check on it. They eventually sent two beers to our table when I only wanted one more. Overall not happy. read more

I finally dined at Superica and enjoyed my meal. My party of 3 arrived after 9:00 p.m while attending an event at Sports & Social. Anytime I have visited there is always a long wait for a table. We decided to sit at the bar for a drink while waiting. Luckily seats became available and we ordered our meal at the bar. I decided on the Ginger Margarita and Al Pastor Tacos. My friend ordered chorizo Queso for us to all share. The Al Pastor tacos which are pork are very flavorful and moist. The huge chunks of grilled pineapple was a nice sweet touch. The charro beans were very filling and not salty. Skylar was our bartender and he was very friendly and kept the conversation going with us. Really nice staff here. I would return again when in the area for brunch or lunch. It's a nice casual Tex mex restaurant. read more

A bit pricier than it should be when considering the quality and portions received in my opinion. While I didn't hate the experience, it's not an establishment that I'd rush to visit again. Comparatively speaking there add much better alternatives that are more reasonably priced. With that being said, service was prompt and the staff was attentive as well as accommodating. Management was attentive and vested in ensuring that my party's needs were being met. Bonus points for being very clean with the exception of the one female bartender who I observed sneezing into her hand without washing or cleaning. read more

Fajitas cold and over cooked. Then they took them back and put them on the grill again and they were basically nuked. They spilled hot sauce on my daughter-in-law's hand burnt her. They did not care. Everyone's fajitas were cold and did not have much taste. We go to Superica in Atlanta and it is great. Will not go back here. read more

This used to be my favorite place. Went there tonight for dinner to find out they're under new management and there's been many changes. The salsas are different and the new ones don't have very much flavor. I was hopeful that the enchiladas suizas would still be the same but unfortunately they weren't, they barely had any chicken and the sauce had no flavor. We also ordered a "spicy cóctel de camarón" which we expected to be a tomato sauce based cocktail but it was basically just guac with shrimp but again, no flavor or spice. read more

I love this place. The only thing I don't like is that they way over salt the food. If the chef is a smoker, you need to slow down on the salt. You clearly can't taste the food. You're going to give people heart attacks. I've been there many times and lately I wake up with a swollen face after I eat there. You don't need that much salt guys! Great Margs. Food is good. Salt is ALOT. read more

Delicious food, great service, and an inviting and upscale atmosphere! We went here for the first time with friends and were very impressed! Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend the chicken quesadilla and the chicken fajitas!! read more

Bottom line: I enjoyed my meal at Superica at Fenton, even though Tex-Mex is not my usual go-to type of food. The Steak Fajita Quesadilla was great and I'd definitely get this one again in the future. Good service this visit. The Deets: I met up with some work colleagues at Superica in the Fenton complex in Cary. I had got some great positive feedback on the one located in Atlanta, so I was looking forward to this experience. We got there promptly at 5pm when they open the doors, and were immediately sat at a booth. The place filled up FAST during our visit, it was not empty for long at all! Observation: there was a double door next to our booth that is connected directly to the outside but apparently not for use and locked, however I would say 3 out of 5 people going by it tried to open it and come in...needs a big sign on it saying go around to the main entrance to enter with an arrow if they don't want that door used. The inside of the restaurant is good sized with tables/booth/bar and an inside patio type area near the host desk that would need some heat going to it if used in the winter time. Menus, water, drinks were taken care of in timely fashion. Their menu offers quite a variety of Tex-Mex dishes (see pic). We started out with some great guacamole as well as the chips that are brought to the table. The guacamole was delicious and a great way to start our meal experience. For my meal, I am one that Mexican/Tex-Mex is not a go-to type of meal personally so I kept it pretty simple...I went with their Steak Fajita Quesadilla entry on the menu (fresh made tortillas, Monterey jack cheese and Cheddar cheese, lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, I skipped the jalapeños). I am glad I ordered this one, great flavor, simple, with more texture than usual quesadillas you get other places and a bit of a crunch to it that I liked. The steak and filling were just right. The accompanying beans and rice were good as well, nothing over the top but good with the meal. One in my group got the Grilled Chile Relleno and it looked so amazing I had to nab a pic of it as well as my dish. All during our visit our server was positive, attentive, and helpful. For Tex-Mex not being one of my fave type of meals, I did have a good experience here at Superica at Fenton Cary and would definitely get the quesadilla choice again in the future. read more

We decided to stop by Fenton and try this place. We had tried to get in once before but it was busy and had a long wait. The restaurant has some Tex-Mex vibes with a great bar and open seating area. It's a nice atmosphere with eclectic decor. The menu is varied and has lots of great options. We tried multiple different options and loved everyone of them. Make sure you try the salsas. The green tomatillo sauce is incredibly flavorful and not spicy. The server was very knowledgeable in the menu and helped with our selections. He was attentive to our needs and friendly. Overall a great time. If you are in Cary or Raleigh and want to try a Tex-Mex, stop by. You won't regret it. read more
