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 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"

1st time trying & it’s the BEST 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!

This place soooo good. Huge burrito if you get the large. I was looking at the flan and couldn’t afford it at the time the owner gave me a free piece. Absolutely amazing. Highly recommend trying the birria burrito and add onions and cilantro.
