3 steak tacos
Terri S.

I ordered chicken tacos on corn tortilla, and chicken quesadillas. (Not shown) Service was good. Food was fresh. I liked it.

This new little drive-thru only place serves tacos, quesadillas, wings, tenders, tortas, fries and sodas. The tacos have steak, shredded chicken or adobada for the meats. The menu is geared more toward American tastes than authentic Mexican. I had a chicken torta and some habanero wings. The chicken torta was shredded chicken, cheese, grilled onions and jalapeno strips. The bun was thick and tasted great. The chicken was seasoned well but it was pretty dry and tough. It was a really big sandwich though, and a good deal at $5. This isn't what I think of when I want a torta, it was more like a chicken Philly sandwich with a Latin twist. It came with a side of salsa verde that was ok but nothing special, probably canned. The wings could have been very good but wound up being disappointing. They were a good size, fried perfectly and juicy inside. But they just poured a pretty tame bottled mango habanero sauce over them that tasted nothing like mango nor habanero. Since they didn't toss the wings in the sauce, some of them didn't even have sauce on them. I wouldn't order them again. They were $6 for 7 decent size wings. I might come back thru to try the adobada tacos if I'm out that way and hungry, but I wouldn't go out the way or come back on purpose.

True to its namesake, there are brightly colored folk art designs throughout the restaurant in line with their Mexican heritage. The trees that make it look overgrown from the outside actually serve to allow sunlight while masking the surrounding city, facilitating the transformation that makes you feel like you're in Mexico City. We came at an off-peak time in the afternoon and it was nearly empty. We were seated immediately and the service was prompt and attentive. I was pleased to see some unique menu offerings like Birra Ramen and Sopes that deviate from the standard American-friendly fare in most places. Drinks were good - we had a regular house margarita, a triple berry margarita, and a jalapeño cucumber margarita. All were tasty and I would order again. I tried to order a Mezcalita, since it's not often I see a Mezcal option, but they were out of that particular liquor. We tried to get street corn as an appetizer, which they were also out of. We got cheese and salsa with chips instead. The chips were hot and fresh, the salsa generous with the cilantro, and the cheese bold and warm. For entrees we had the Al Pastor Quesadilla and the Birra Ramen. The quesadilla was good, though the beans on the side were pretty bland. The ramen was a unique and very tasty option, and I was not able to finish such a generous portion. I think I'd leave the cheese out next time since it made some weird textures, but the flavor was great overall. Overall, there are some small things to improve (having menu items in stock, bland beans) and the prices were a bit high, but we had a great experience overall. I'm not often in the area, but I'll certainly eat here again if I am!

100/10, no notes. I am definitely late to the game with trying this spot, but I cannot emphasize…read morehow fantastic it was! The name Bandito Bodega is extremely accurate, as the store itself is a small and unassuming looking place, with a charmingly decorated interior and some indoor and outdoor seating. It was very convenient to order at the cash register as soon as you walk in, and the staff was very patient and efficient. I adored the unpretentiousness and individuality of the place. It did not need any flashiness or grandeur- just some good food and good vibes. Now the food: WOW I was blown away by the pork belly garlic fried rice. The pork belly was so incredibly fatty and perfectly crispy, the shrimp add-on was juicy and well seasoned, and the fried egg over a bed of DELICIOUS steamy garlicky fried rice was absolutely perfection. And they do NOT skimp on the portions. This heaping bowl was just $15, and it was generously topped with the pork belly. This will easily be a place I plan to frequent often, for the convenience, food, and charm.

The young lady who took my order was really friendly and prompt. By the time I arrived, my order was already ready and sitting under a hot lamp, waiting for me. The same young lady from the phone warmly greeted me and checked me out. As I was finishing the prompts on the screen, she came around to bag up my order. She took care to place napkins, chopsticks, and a fork in the bag and to hand it to me directly. Overall, it was a great experience in service. The ambiance is casual and relaxed, typical of any fast-casual restaurant. At my earliest opportunity, I opened the box, which was stuffed full of pork belly, garlic noodles, broccoli, and scallions. The noodles had just the right amount of sauce, and the pork belly was perfectly cooked. The portion was so large that I ate some for lunch and finished the rest for dinner, and didn't need anything else either time. Overall, this was a wonderful experience, and I look forward to returning.

I love chorizo so ordered the chori-pollo. It was enough for 2 meals (yea leftovers). Rice, beans, guacamole, lettuce/tomato. It cones with a couple of tortillas, salsa and chips. The salsa was okay and the chips could have been better. It's standard add-on, if not I could easily skip them. Definitely had better. The choripollo was delicious and very fresh.

All of the meats and food are made fresh and cut fresh to order for you. I swear I don't think I've had chicken this juicy for a burrito bowl and a long time. One of my favorite menu items is the taco salad something about the nostalgia of that shell gets me. It never last long enough for a good photo. The company has done a good job or ensuring that it doesn't feel like a fast causal dining spot but rather a restaurant with a quick service option. I love the separate full service bar offering a good assortment of drinks, good prices and even better specials. Overall I love the space. The updated/ upscale decor makes it feel cozy and I am a big fan of the stone work seen throughout. Super easy and available parking is also a plus. Definitely a good lunch and dinner location to try on spring garden

I was eyeing this place for an entire week and happy I tried it out being that I'm from California,…read morethe anticipation was quite high! It's a food truck located in Petra's parking lot and open hella late, which is a WIN! I ordered 4 Quesa birria tacos, Birria ramen and something that looked like a mini quesadilla, I'm unsure of the name. The ramen was very flavorful although it felt like something was missing compared to Cali but overall very delicious! The only thing I didn't appreciate was the price. The cup was tiny and priced at $11. There wasn't enough room for additional consommé (juice) in the cup. I honestly think the cup could be a little larger for $11 or add more meat. My friend says the Quesa Birrias ($17) were good but they still prefer La Costenita's. Personally I don't like La Costenita's, because the meat and taco shells are extremely dry. But that's why we're all entitled to our opinions and preferences. :) The item that looked like a quesadilla was really tasty and only $7! It reminded me of a taco sandwich lol. The lady that took my order could of been a bit friendlier but I understand most people in NC aren't friendly at all. She insisted I add cheese after repeatedly explaining I do not like cheese and advised to dip my taco sandwich in the ramen but there wasn't enough juice in my ramen cup to even attempt that. Overall the meal was delicious, I've tried many places and this is at the top of my list. I would return when I'm craving something authentic but the pricing needs to be adjusted for what you get. Give it a try and tell me what you think!
