I visited the Durham location (which doesn't seem to have a profile on here, but the experience was…read moreso good I still wanted to post). It was MAGNÍFICA The manager, or owner checked on us multiple times and our server was super attentive. The food looked like a dream and was hot, well-seasoned, and all around delicious. We got a 60oz margarita and it was not only huge, but had scrumptious, fresh fruit and was refreshing and strong - idek how you do that! Lastly, the place was so cute! It felt elegant and made us want to take pictures. It was comfortable and overall felt like a top notch experience!

Some of the more premium tacos are not included, so double check with the staff before ordering. I opted for the mahi mahi tacos. $8 for a full plate of tacos with a side of rice is UNREAL. The fish was a tad bit overcooked but otherwise had great flavor. La Santa is definitely going into the rotation of places to visit for a great deal and great atmosphere.

It's a very cute restaurant. However, my best friend and I went to Chido Taco earlier and the food was not nearly as good as it used to be and tasted a lot less flavorful. Also I know I am maybe the last person to be talking about a restaurants music because I don't have amazing music taste but everytime before when I used to go the music was amazing and introduced me to so many different hispanic artists but when we went today it was all songs that you'd hear in a club. The restaurant is great I recommend going but I'm wondering if maybe Chido went under new management?

Gym Tacos is one of my favorite local fast-casual Mexican spots, and it hits every time…read more The steak burrito is awesome, flavorful (super juicy steak), filling (giant), and consistently well-made. Orders come out fast (usually within 5-10 minutes) and always warm, which is exactly what you want from a place like this. But let's be honest, the real star here is the salsa bar. Especially the green avocado sauce. It's so good it's honestly dangerous. I could drink that stuff. That sauce alone is the main reason I keep coming back, and it elevates everything on the menu. Yes, it's a smidge pricier than some other fast-casual Mexican spots, but between the quality, speed, and that salsa bar, I happily pay it every time. It feels worth it. If you're looking for quick, flavorful Mexican food with standout sauces and reliable execution, Gym Tacos is absolutely the move.

As long as you expect that, the food and service was fine. I thought the portion was appropriate for the price point. During lunch though there wasn't much people in the restaurant.

I remember it being really different before they remodeled. The inside is so nice now. Big and open. They have great line management--you order and pay for your food and then they bring it out to you. All of the food tastes authentic and comes out so fast. This place is great for groups as they have a ton of big open seating and they turnover the place really fast. You get your own drinks and bus your own table. They have a salsa bar where you can get all kinds of different salsas for your entrees or chips. Horchata is on point. Parking lot is attached and free. And the best part it is super cheap to eat here even with the family.

We came here before heading over to The Ritz for a concert. The restaurant wasn't super busy so we…read moredidn't think it would take too long. We ordered our food at 6:40pm. The food arrived at 7:16pm, so if you're hoping to get in and out of this place quickly that likely won't happen. We ordered tacos and they were all delicious. The Oaxaca was a pleasant surprise that I highly recommend. The chicken Al carbon was tasty. You could taste the smokiness from being grilled. It was a little dry though so we added salsa to it. The picadillo with the seasoned ground beef was good. The steak was spicy but tasty as well rico style. Overall our only complaint was the wait time.

The quesadilla was flavorful as well, and the chicken was tender. I also tried the large chips and queso; the queso portion was generous, which I appreciated, but many of the chips were soggy and chewy, which made them hard to enjoy. Overall, it was a good experience with friendly staff, and I'll definitely be back for the fish tacos.

The highlight of the bar menu has to be the margaritas--I ordered the watermelon and basil, and it was the ultimate refreshing, perfectly balanced summer drink. The food is equally impressive, made completely fresh to order. I went with the shrimp quesadilla, and it was packed with flavor and cooked to absolute perfection. With delicious food, top-tier drinks, and the convenience of staying open until 10 PM, this spot easily earns all five stars.

Plus they skimped out on the cheese in the Acp (the best part) We did convince a couple families to join us! They did love the food and the ambience but their fav was the Arbol sauce (from the salsa/ sauce bar) There was no cellular network or wifi there so I was not able to use my toast rewards, plus the First lady who took our order was kind of blunt and rude (even my husband felt it when he asked for to go containers after we were done) (2 separate interactions with each of us) the Second Lady who took over the order processing was very kind and understanding though.

I tried an assembly of their meats. The steak was juicy! Flavorful and tender, chicken was super tender and tasty the portions were perfect and lastly I had a lovely tostada with the fried tortillas the bean spread, sour cream and cheese wow with the juices from the steak truly was delightful. I had to stop and eat before making it home. Haha I'm glad i did. I am amazed by the array of items on there menu I wasn't expecting to have augua Fresca along with my order but she prepared it I had fresh cucumber pieces along with my watermelon mix.

Dining outside at this busy street corner is like eating in the middle of a moving painting--chaotic, colorful, and endlessly entertaining. The symphony of the city combined with the clanging of silverware while being serenaded by the Mamas and the Poppas, it all wraps you like a warm breeze, it's an electrifying energy that feels both invigorating and alive. Meanwhile every staff member seems to glide effortlessly through the space, moving with purpose, assuring you an excellent dining experience. If you're lucky enough to get Mikey for a server, his energy is contagious--he lifts your mood and he will delver an excellent dining experience. This one-page menu is the perfect mix of simplicity and diversity, capturing the essence of Mexican food without overwhelming, giving you just enough to excite your taste buds and leave you wanting more. Gringo's Old Fashioned is a unique and comforting twist on the popular drink and the chorizo enchiladas will want you coming back for more, my only wish would be for flour tortillas in place of the con tortillas. Cheers!

Stopped by Torchy's Tacos over the weekend and it didn't disappoint. I was so excited to see that…read moreTorchy's is in the triangle area after relocating from Texas. When you arrive there is parallel parking outside the front of the restaurant and if that's full there is overflow parking in the back. When you walk in you'll be transported to a fast, casual taco shop near downtown Raleigh. To order you can either sit at the bar, order on the kiosks, or at the counter. I ordered the trailer park combo which comes with a trailer park taco (Fried chicken, green chiles, pico de gallo, mixed cheese with poblano sauce on a flour tortilla), queso and a drink. I'd recommend taking the lettuce off as I feel like it overpowers the taco. I also ordered the Ranch Hand breakfast taco (Cage free eggs, marinated and grilled steak, mixed cheese on a flour tortilla with a side of Diablo sauce). The Diablo sauce is a bit too hot for me so I subbed that for the salsa roja on the side. Both tacos were excellent and remind me of my first time eating Torchy's at their og location in Austin. Torchy's also has one of my favorite quesos as the green chiles really add a nice flavor. Highly recommend this spot if you are looking for good fast food Tex mex spot.
