    The house margarita, chicken enchiladas con mole with beans and rice, and flan de coco were all very good. If you want great Mexican in North Raleigh, it's Gonza's or Dos Taquitos. Highly recommended. Read more

    Some of the best tacos I’ve had. GREAT ambiance, decor. Ask for the meat lovers tacos (off the menu) 😍 Wait staff is very attentive, efficient. Watermelon margarita are delicious. HIGHLY recommend

    Best Mexican food I've found in Raleigh! Great margaritas and the carne tacos topped with a slice of avocado were delicioso. Funky decor and loud music made for a fun Friday night ~ we'll be back!

    Great gluten free menu options. Corn tortilla for the meals and corn chips for salsa and gaucamole. Now the chips are fried in the same fryers as everything. So not 100% free from cross.

    Super funky and eclectic, authentic Mexican place hidden in a strip mall - gotta love suburbia! Start with queso, it's the only way.

    Very crowded so go early or late. Everything very good! You cannot go wrong and they have the best top shelf margaritas.

    The food was very good as was the service! The ceviche is delicious, but quite spicy. As a result, I got to finish my wife's, but that was OK with me.

    Get the Pollo tacos: three small flour tortillas with grilled chicken, cheese, pico de gallo and fresh slices of avocado. Muy delicioso!

    The menu doesn’t describe the Mero-Mexican taco but advises, “dare you to try it!!!” Those who dare will discover that it’s lengua (beef tongue) – and that it’s very good indeed. Read more
