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! -
Absolutely delicious! Some of the best Mexican food in Durham. The restaurant is clean and customer service is amazing. Would highly recommend this! The tacos were delicious and red enchiladas were tasty. Will definitely be coming back

We ordered taco de pastor, cochinita pibil, carne asada and gringa de pastor, I don't recommend the pastor, the gringa is in corn tortilla, but what was disgusting was the quesadilla with rajas 🤢 I really regretted eating here. One of the main characteristics of Mexican food is the corn tortilla and the tortilla they give here is horrible, it breaks right away and the "salsas" have no flavor. The jamaica water is obviously not natural and has a lot of sugar. And the chicharrones they give as a starter made me laugh, it is appreciated but they are not good. The service is very friendly, the waiter served us very well. I do not recommend the food at this place. If you are not Mexican please don't think it is an original taste of Mexican food. When we finished eating we were left with that bitter taste of having eaten ugly and having to pay for it. Sad. The place has a good location and that's why I think people come. If you want to eat delicious Mexican food, I recommend "El huarache"

Got takeout from Mi Calvillo tonight and it was excellent! Lovely family greeted us and had our order that we ordered online ready to go. The variety of Mexican dishes are bewildering but all were deliciously prepared from the birria (lamb), chorizo, cochinita (delicate with canela), al pastor to rajas (roasted poblanos with cheese). All come in many forms: quesadillas, tacos, gorditas, sopes, etc. Glad to have found this Mexican restaurant and look forward to trying the lengua, nopales, etc.
