Always my go to for tacos. Tons of options and every taco is $2 off on Tuesday. The margaritas are always great as well!

The tacos were just awful. The corn tortillas were tasteless and fell apart immediately. I had the Mayan and Outer Banks tacos and both had zero flavor, so bland.

If you want authentic tacos, this is NOT the place to go. First of all, one of the waiter's was coughing so much, I wanted to leave so bad but I already placed my order so I couldn't do that to them. Secondly, the food was soo bad and salty, I wish I didn't have to pay for it but lesson learned to never go to a place with a 3.5 stars. The service was okay. I would've been better off going to little Caesar next door.. I got the one Phoenix taco which was a vegetable taco and the hibachi steak tacos. It's really expensive for not good quality. Everything was SALTY. My husband got the enchiladas plate which was also salty. I guess my standards are very high when it comes to Mexican food because I've had authentic Mexican food before. If you want good Mexican food, ESMARALDA GRILL is my first option. Only reason why we went here was because my husband had to drop his car off at sir Walter Chevy and we wanted to walk to the nearest Mexican place. If we walked one more mile, we could've had chipotle which would've been better.

Flying burrito. It was very fulfilling . I couldn't finish it. I will be coming back with guests.

A one time visit. The food was disappointingly bad, there was no spice and the salsa tasted like it came from jar. The staff was super nice but little attention was given to our party of 5. Too many better places to eat in Raleigh to make a return a trip.

Service was wonderful the young lady who waited on us Sunday afternoon was great and very patient with my 3 year old daughter. It was our first time there, we came for the live music and it was wonderful. Tacos were way overpriced I won't get them again but everything was great and a good value. They need to either drop the prices on their tacos of make it a pack of two or three and charge less. $6-7 a taco is way too high. I won't order them again. If ur paying 6-7 dollars for a taco it better be huge and it was not.

We loved to eat here in the past. Even though we heard that the food was not very good anymore & one person complained about the service, we went anyway to see/taste for ourselves. Well … the service was subpar. She paid a lot of attention to the 2 young men in the booth nearby but passed by us without giving us our drinks or salsa & chips. They had their meal before we got the salsa & chips. Much later, when our food came, it was completely cold & inedible & it was burned. We figured that the waitress left it sitting in the back. When we told her, she shrugged her shoulders. So, now we have to go somewhere else to eat after paying for the meals that were burned & we couldn’t eat. We will not be coming back here.
Not worth the money. I paid $15 for a scoop of burrito mix and 8 chips. And yes it was literally 8 tortilla chips. Definitely not worth $15.

I personally hate leaving one star reviews but this experience was so awful and the food was borderline inedible, I would hate for others to endure the same expereince. We had placed an online order that was timed for one hour after ordering. Like I ordered at 5:30pm for example for pickup at 6:30pm. When we arrived we did the curbside pickup and it took very long to come outside but the hostess or takeout person was friendly. When we got home, our food was cold and my hard shells were soggy and broken. It seemed as though our food was made at the ordered time, even though we scheduled it for the later time. Why offer that option, if you are going to make someone's food right away anyway? The food itself were the worst tacos we have ever eaten. We wasted quite a bit because it honestly was making us feel sick/nauseous eating them. The food was also sloppily thrown together. Will not be going back.

****Food Allergies Beware***2nd attempt eating here. First visit had similar issues.One meal was missing entirely. Several Flying Mayans were ordered and all contained different ingredients. One had large chunks of carrots. One had a great deal of edamame like beans (green, firm, almost crunchy texture) but no black beans. The third had chunks of chicken. We want to support local businesses but the risk of ingesting the wrong food is too high.We have family members with food restrictions and the lack of one meal meant someone went without. After these two botched meals, I would be very leery of trusting the food if you have food sensitivities.We have spent over $250 there for these two family events and lesson learned.Hope others have better luck.

Great food, and very friendly servers. Decent size servings and delicious dishes at very reasonable prices. There is a vegetarian section in the menu as well. We will return!

The food is reasonably priced and very tasty! The only gripe I have is that some of the dishes seem "dry." It's fine when eaten at the restaurant, but to-go orders/taken leftovers are a little tough and I have to add salsa or guac at home to liven things back up. The raging veggie comes to mind. I thought it was just me until I mentioned this to friends who love their fish tacos. In the restaurant: great. As a to-go: a little dry by the time they get home (10 min drive). The service has gotten better over the years, and they do change up their menu to keep it interesting. Give them a try! The TVs aren't blaring, there is plenty of room, and the outdoor seating is comfortable and cozy. Plus the drink specials are decent!
my Arroz Con Pollo was smaller than an appetizer.
Always great food. Fresh and tasty.
