after being a regular at the Cary branch I was curious to see how this fairs out.. Same food quality and prices, somehow the menu felt a little different and with more specials. we ate early at 5:30 and it wasn't crowded so service was amazing there's a parking lot out front but it was full will be coming back ! the molcajete is our favorite and easily feeds 2-3 people.

The managers are so helpful, kind, and willing to do anything to make your experience the best it can be! We have reserved a private room two years in a row, and the managers vent over backwards to make it amazing!

This isn't a review a really want to write. I used to go to Torero's at their old location across from Bright Leaf (before that place blew up ... No, literally: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/04/10/durham-north-carolina-explosion-1-person-dead-building-collapse/3422977002/). Anyway, at the old location they had a pretty solid cactus burrito that I enjoyed and was my go to. Since they've moved I've tried other items on the menu, but have been generally disappointed. Two or three times I've ordered the vegetable fajitas - usually a safe choice when ordering vegan (also I always emphasize vegan). The first few it was fine. The last time, I got a fun bonus of a large piece of poorly cooked steak in with my vegetables. Their one standing 'vegan option ' is little more than avocado on a pair of big chips and a touch of pico. It's fine, but not filling or really a meal. The staff seem very nice, but don't seem to understand what vegetarian or vegan means and I would be equally or even more wary if you had a food allergy to eat here. Ultimately unless they educate their staff and work on some better menu options that are clearly labeled, I won't be going back.

I am absolutely in love with this place. I enjoy a keto friendly lifestyle. Therefore I ordered a fajita salad with shrimp. I requested that the shrimp only have salt and pepper on it to avoid any type of hidden sugar. Omg it was freaking amazing. I don't eat much in one setting so I took the remainder home. I ate on it from lunch until 8:00 p.m. that night. It left me wanting more. So I have gone back since and got another one. My coworker got their tacos, and he said it was amazing as well. If I could give more than five stars I would. The atmosphere was great. The service was prompt and friendly. My food arrived relatively quickly and was fresh. I could smell the shrimp cooking in the back. Five stars +++
