Simple seating, no bar, small restaurant but this place is definitely worth grabbing a to-go order. The food was fantastic. We enjoyed the fajitas and will be back to try more.

Great spot for authentic Mexican food! The staff is super friendly and always pays attention to what you order. Food comes out really fast, and there's always a place to sit. Everything we’ve tried—tacos, tortas, enchiladas, and birria—has been delicious, full of real Mexican flavor. Best part? They welcome you with free fried wheat wheels (chicharrones de ruedita)! Definitely a place worth visiting.

Delicious Steak and Carnita Fajitas. So flavorful! Free pinwheels for a snack.

Both the atmosphere and service were great. I especially enjoyed the shrimp tacos. They were very flavorful and SEASONED. My partner said her green empanadas were good as well. The only thing I wish they had were traditional chips and salsa, but I will be back if I’m in Durham!

We ordered the Carne con salsa Roja and Enchiladas Rojas and let me just everything was delicious and tastes like a grandma’s cooking. Although I wish the enchiladas came with sour cream. They give chicharrones con salsa which is a plus. I highly recommend the agua frescas. We got piña con mango and it didn’t disappoint. Definitely will back to try out the pozole!

Literally the best shrimp tacos in town. Service is impeccable, atmosphere is hard to beat! In the center of 9th street, I come here at least once a week for the enchiladas. Can’t recommend more highly.
