One of the very best Mexican restaurants in the triangle. Tons of options and everything is high quality, authentic (as far as I can tell), and delicious. Service is fast and friendly. Outdoor seating only and you can find many street food style options that are less common in typical Mexican restaurants. An all time favourite of mine.

I got the pollos taco meal and it was amazing. The meat was juicy and the onions were great. My only quarrel is that the bottoms of my tacos fell apart. It seems more that the juice just made it a little weak but it didn't effect eating it at all. Great food will come again.

The birria was AMAZING—definitely the highlight. The salsa was a little too tomato-heavy for my taste, but still decent. Seating could be more comfortable (the benches were not as comfortable) but overall I had a great experience and would definitely come back!

Great food and conversation with the chef about cooking tongue & sweetbreads. I had one taco of each and they were great. The best tongue (lengua) I've ever had. Also ordered the shrimp quesadilla, it was large, full of shrimp, everyone loved it. I'll definitely stop every time I'm in the area.

The food was good and the cucumber water was refreshing. Had the pastor burrito and pollo con piña.
