Mike and the entire team were so patient with us as we asked questions and had a sincere interest in ensuring that we were happy with everything. thank you all for an outstanding experience.“

“We had an amazing experience late after a play on a Thursday night. The food was fantastic and our waitress (Lydia) was the best ever. We ordered what she recommended and it was scrumptious. The music was uplifting and reminded us of what it is to be alive. Thanks so much Lydia for a wonderful evening.“

“I enjoyed my dinner it was delicious I also liked the train bringing our queso“

“I used to go to Gym Tacos very frequently. Their food is really delicious. The place is ok. Not a big fan of it but ok. I think that the Chorizo and Al Pastor may be the tasty ones you should not miss. Be careful with the Serrano pepper, it might be very very spicy. Sometimes you wouldn’t think it’s a Serrano pepper.“

“Beautiful restaurant great service huge variety of options. I had the best lobster mango sushi. My friend got the shrimp tacos, which were huge. We ended up sharing and another person in my party got a pepperoni pizza. There’s something for everyone here and it all taste delicious and the service is, absolutely the best“

“This food truck is my usual spot for breakfast after work. But after seeing what I saw today with the new person, Am not sure if I will becoming anymore. After taking a persons order and grabbing his credit card , and swiping it , She didn’t wash her hands no gloves on , She grabes my food and put the avocado on it and grabbed the tortillas bare hand. With Covid going on and it not being sanitary alone , It makes me Worried the possible germs or .... she could be spreading.“

“Delicious Authentic food!“

“I went to the yellow food truck. I haven't tried anything from the gray one yet.

I highly recommend the chicken tacos and steak tacos. They are very good, and the service is quick, the staff is nice, and the food was hot. The price is also a plus. $3 per taco and just as good as most Mexican food trucks. I would definitely be coming back again.

Parking: It's at a gas station, so you have to park where you can, and there are a few actual parking spots.“

The Café de Olla coffee was the perfect touch to finish things off. The team was super friendly and helpful—especially Quinn, who helped me at the counter and checked on tables to make sure everyone was good. Great food and great vibes all around!“

“Best chicken quesadilla in Raleigh, hands-down!! ??? Food is always fresh, and their agua frescas are amazing, made out of real fruit— jamaica and pineapple are my favorites. Also, their red sauce is actually spicy. I’m Indian so I can generally handle spice- this sauce is so delicious and actually HOT ?️. I’m so happy I found Tacos Abarca, I go there at least once a week.“

“Fajitas were awesome and great guacamole“

“This Mexican restaurant is, in my opinion, the best. I typically order the chicken burrito; a simple choice, I realize. However, the authenticity is exceptional. The burrito is generously portioned, and the chicken is notably fresh. After experiencing their chicken burrito, one is unlikely to seek an alternative.“

The staff was very friendly and they recommended multiple options and they were able to narrow it down to what I was in the mood for. The food was delivered quickly with professionalism and they even gave me suggestions at the salsa bar. If you like authentic Southwest flavors delivered quickly at an affordable price I highly recommend this place, you won't be disappointed.“

“Taqueria La Mexicana is my favorite food in Raleigh. Not just favorite tacos, favorite food. Andrea is wonderful and her food is delicious and cooked to order and always consistent. I have been eating here at least once a week for over a year. My favorite item on the menu is the chicharron taco, but I recommend you try them all, they’re all very good. 10/10 Must try.“
