I got the Asada Nachos and I loved the presentation! They come in a tall metal cylinder that you get to lift to reveal the nachos, it was really fun. The nachos were tasty, I enjoyed all the topping and loved the kick from the fresh jalapeños. The portion was HUGE. I brought home my leftovers, and even the leftovers were good (which is rare for nachos). They have a salsa bar with 4 different salsas, my favorite was the spicy orange peanut salsa. They ran out of their house green salsa which is made at the Hillsborough Street location, so I only got to try a little of this salsa. We didn't get any alcoholic drinks, but the bartender let us know that this Gym Tacos stays open late on Fridays and turns into a club!

It's probably meant to be consumed by more than one person and I did have leftovers. It was so tasty though. All the protein (chicken, steak, shrimp) was cooked to perfection and still had plenty of moisture in it. The only thing I wish is that they would add beans and rice as a layer to the nachos; however, it was excellent. The six tacos plate was so good too. Loved the carnitas and pescado tacos. They were flavorful and filling. The rice was sensational and well-seasoned. The black beans paired with the rice was also excellent. I will be back. The dragonfruit mezcalito was so good! The restaurant was starting to fill up with a lot of people, so it's a popular spot.

Somehow that same soul has landed in the unlikeliest spot: Foster Street, in downtown Durham. Pulpo tacos, legit goat birria, bright ceviche mixto, a killer torta milanesa, and that sneaky chipotle aioli that steals the show. All washed down with ice-cold Modelo Negra on draft. Unpretentious, soulful flavors done right, prices that feel like a steal, and food that tastes like your nana cooked it with attitude.

The atmosphere could be better but I still give 5 stars because of the food! We were skeptical about goat cheese and guacamole going together but wow! It was really inventive and delicious. Flavors I had not tried before. I also really liked that the free chips came with bean dip-/ yum! The gringa steak quesadilla I got was open faced. A little different than I was used to, but the flavor was 10/10. Overall I thought the food was unique and I would totally come back for more

Overall good experience again! Tried some new things:…read more - Torta Cubana: Hefty sandwich with like 3 different meats (including sausage & chorizo), fried egg, avocado, onions, lettuce, tomato. A little salty, but balances out with the spicy salsa they provide. - Camarones Ala Mexicana Platter: Good if you want a lighter, healthier feeling option. - Quessabirrias: Honestly, felt a little too greasy for me & the consommé wasn't super deep in flavor. It was okay. - Pupusa con Pollo: I think the pupusas will be my favorite item to get here! - Horchata: Love their horchata; super cinnamon-y and refreshing. Fast service during weekday dinnertime; fine ambiance. 9/10 would recommend!

The tacos al pastor were pretty good and the aguas have numerous chunks of fresh fruit floating in them. The carnitas, liver, and lamb barbacoa were not all that.

Good value for dollar spent. We had the torta with pastor (marinated pork). The sandwich included the pastor, onion, jalapenos, may, muenster cheese, pineapple, tomato, lettuce, sliced avocado and cilantro. What a great taste combination! Chips were good. Got a side of refried beans which were pretty good. But, the big deal was the salsa bar. Two green salsas (one a little hotter than the other), one red (mild), great pico, fresh cilantro, chopped onion and a habanero salad that was extremely hot, but incredibly tasty! Very nice and colorful decor and paintings. I would have liked more Mexican music playing. I think the only music we heard was from the kitchen. Tres leches cake was amazing (moist but not soupy). Coffee was good, served in a unique mug with a side of three little cookies.
