We decided to have dinner at Gonza after a walk on a beautiful Tuesday evening…read more There's plenty of parking in the parking lot. Gonza is located next to Village Deli in the front of the Factory area in Wake Forest. We were seated right away and Annabel was our amazing server. We started with the special drink of the night, peach margaritas, the complimentary chips and the best salsa I think I've ever had. We then ordered guacamole. The drinks were good and the guacamole was ok. For our entrees, my daughter had the Chicken Quesadilla, with a side of plantains. Both good. I had the Barbacoa Quesadilla and a side of half cilantro rice and refried beans. The short rib was tender, but didn't have a lot of taste. The rice and beans were good. The servings were enough to have leftovers. The service was great and the food was good, I would go back.

I stopped by Mami Nano's taco truck on a whim (I literally was on my way to pick up ordered Indian…read morefood and saw the truck...so ya, WHIM). The air smelled delicious and I was super excited. The menu is small but the flavors are mighty. As someone who used to love big expansive menus with endless amounts of choices, I've come to learn that it's the restaurants that specialize in certain dishes with smaller menus are the places that don't disappoint. I ordered two chorizo tacos and a ground meat taco. The food was made rather quickly (they said 10 minutes but it was less than that). It came with delicious spicy verde sauce and a lime. Oh my gosh!!! This food truck is a new favorite!! Growing up is SoCal, I've missed the Mexican food there. This is it, guys! You want the real deal? Go to Mami Nano's! The tortillas are homemade and the combination of flavors is just...ugh, SO GOOD! 10/10 will definitely go again.

We live on the West Coast of the USA and needed to arrange a dinner remotely for 25+ friends and…read morerelatives gathering from across the USA for a wedding in Wake Forest. We had called several restaurants in the Raleigh area to try and set this up and had little positive response. Then, we called 13 Tacos & Taps. Within minutes, we got a call back from Marilyn. She was friendly and helped us plan the dinner. We were able to effortlessly reserve the entire main dining room for this dinner, make menu selections, and set up the contract remotely with Marilyn's help. Due to timing of other wedding events we needed to attend, we were actually unable to go to this dinner at 13 Tacos & Taps ourselves. Marilyn was understanding, very businesslike, and not at all sus about this. We even asked Marilyn to honor a very special family member in a specific way at this dinner. She pulled it off marvelously. We were so amazed at how intuitive Marilyn is! Following the dinner at 13 Tacos & Taps, our family and friends gave us superlative feedback about their dinner and the great experience. They were very pleased with the quantity and quality of the food, and the polite, friendly attitude of Marilyn and her staff. Our special guest was hugely delighted with Marilyn's recognition. The Red Bird chicken and Moo-Moo Beef tacos served with rice and beans were delicious and generously sized. Our relatives raved about the tacos, the dirty rice, the beans, chips and especially the churros we ordered for dessert. We were very pleased with how easy Marilyn made the overall arrangements remotely, and the reasonable price of the dinner for our guests. Many thanks to Marilyn and Chef Jose David!!! 13 Tacos & Taps made our out-of-state guests feel welcome, well-fed, and happy. A hearty thank you to 13 Tacos & Taps.

I found it unconventional to be mexican and charge for any sauces to…read morego with the mexican food... on that note I'll say the pricing is unusual and it was over $100 for a party of 3 with a single app of nachos and water for drinks. Many mexican restaurants like to include their homemade nachos to get you started and it can leave an impression IMO. To be fair, both the cook and the waitress were new for our visit. That seems unfortunate but no harm and no foul other than 1 partially wrong order. I rate this 3 stars especially given the number of Mexican options in the area.

This was my first time at Tiaquepaque, but our friend had been before. We were seated right away,…read moreand our server (says Javier on the receipt) came promptly. Silverware and glasses appeared to be clean. We came at lunch and they had a lunch menu that seems reasonably priced. We had the lunch combo with one item and two sides for 8.75, spinach & chicken enchilada for 10.99, and fajitas for 10.99. The food was good overall. The salsa was slightly hotter than I prefer but still good. We also ordered guacamole. I thought we were getting the guacamole appetizer for 7.00, but it was apparently a larger order for 14.00, according to our check. I will deduct some from my score because our server did not clarify which it was we wanted. My fajitas were really good, and both the rice and beans were above average. I enjoyed the food a lot. My companions said they did too. My other knock on this place is that they charge extra for credit cards. I am fairly sure they warn you on the menu. They may warn you with a sign on the door. It just yanks my chain for restaurants to charge extra for credit cards, and I will call them out for it. If they want to offer a discount for cash, I don't mind. Just price your menu to cover the credit card charge and don't charge extra. It makes the place more of a target for robbery to take cash, and somebody has to make a trip to the bank, so it is not cost free to take cash. You will probably sell more food and drink when it's going on a credit card instead of cash, so the owner benefits from customers using credit cards. Don't punish the customer for eating at your establishment. If our server had asked about which guacamole we wanted and if they did not charge extra for credit cards, I would give them 5 stars. Food and service were good. But as it is, I will give them 4 stars. Total for 3 lunches and one 14.00 guacalmole = 44.73 + 3.68 tax + 1.57 charge for credit card = 49.99. To their credit, the tip amounts shown for 18, 20 and 22% are calculated on the food and drink subtotal, 44.73, not on the total. I really hate it when restaurants sugges I should tip on tax and especially if they suggest I should tip on a fee for a credit card.
