The Huarache con Asada is delicious; they serve them with onion and cilantro, FYI! Next time ill order wo the onion, but it is so wonderfully plated with queso fresco and salsa rosa has a great flavor. The costillas (ribs) en chile are so good too, and the rice is wonderful!
Great prices 13$ for 2 gorditas ! -
First time here. It’s a nice place and the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend it and come back for sure. -
Next to the highway so weren’t too sure. Entire menu in Latino, but cashier walked us through recommendations. Place is very clean. Prices were consistent with a dine in restaurant and food trucks, and serving size was above average. Food? Wow…found a gem, more like comfort food. -
I came here to get the birria tacos. I was not busy at all. I placed my order with ease. The cashier took my order and I proceeded to go take a seat because I was gonna eat in. But what pissed me off was when she went to clean up and touched all over the mop, broom, and dustpan, she had the nerve to try to serve my food. I immediately asked for a refund. She could have washed her hands! -
For sure some of the best authentic mexican food in Durham. Clean, friendly and quick service. The real reason to come here is for the flavors.. this place could be a dump and I would still come back for the taste. Give them a try!
