    Cabo is a brand new restaurant, I look forward to trying them again in a couple months! The good: Cian was our server and he was great, he did everything he could to make sure all his tables were satisfied. We were served water and chips & salsa as soon as we sat down. The chips and salsa were delicious, the chips came out nice and hot. My party ordered a strawberry margarita tower to share, and it was smooth and delicious. The bathrooms and restaurant are beautiful. I love the design and color scheme. I had the Burrito King Cabo for my entree and it was delicious! I loved all the meats and it had a good level of spice. The bad: Our cheese dip took a while to come out. A table that was already seated when we arrived at the restaurant got their entrees after we did. I spoke with some friends I saw at another table, and they went through 3 baskets of chips and were still waiting on their food... so you can tell they are still working out some kinks in the kitchen. The seating is a little crowded, the tables are too close together in some areas and caused jams in the restaurant.

    I'm so glad they are FINALLY OPEN!! You know every new place has growing pains when they first open, but I am confident this place will work out the kinks. There is quite a bottle neck effect when walking between the round tables in the front window and the tables opposite those tables. I certainly hope they get smaller tables to address this as it is a fire hazard and quite uncomfortable to navigate. The place is absolutely beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed our girl's night out and taking in the beauty of the place while sipping on margaritas from the tower. The chips, salsa, queso, and my entree were all amazing. I ordered the chicken Hawaiian and was pleasantly surprised that it was served in a pineapple. The presentation was beautiful. The veggies were the absolute best with the cauliflower being my favorite. Cain was our server and he was PHENOMENAL!! He's super sweet and attentive.

    When we walked in Cabo Mexican cuisine, I immediately looked at my friend and said wow! Inside was decorated so beautifully, it was authentic upscale and something I wanted to just sit around in! Food was good, server came immediately and helped us. I got fajitas with shrimp and they did not disappoint. Chips and salsa were delicious. I would definitely love to go back and try some of the other unique menu items.

    Tuna bites, yummy with a 'bite'.

    First time in the relatively new Cabo Mexican Cuisine restaurant in Brier Creek. The interior is modern, elegant, nicely spaced with booths and tables, plus a large bar. It was not busy when we arrived, but a couple of hours later, around 7pm it was visibly getting popular. Our wait person, Madelyn, was friendly and helpful, with the right amount of attentiveness. The food was great - tuna bites for starters (a good substitute for calamari, not on the menu) followed by chicken chimichangas, then Dubai chocolate cake, all excellent! Definitely will return soon. A nice addition to the Brier Creek area. (Note to Management; staff who answer the phone need to be 'on the ball' and properly trained. First contact with any potential client is crucial.)

    Cabo Mexican Cuisine is FINALLY open! After a lengthy wait as the signs had been up for quite a long time, the restaurant had their soft opening on May 13. I dined with a few friends for lunch a few days later (some of us have to work). The restaurant is in the former Applebee's location in Brier Creek, and it has been thoughtfully remodeled. I really like the appearance and design of the restaurant. I had the opportunity to sneak into the restaurant and take some preview photos last year (plenty of alcohol in the bar now). I arrived last, so my friends already had beer, chips and salsa on the table when I arrived. I ordered a mango house margarita to enjoy with my Chori Pollo lunch. It came out quite quickly and the flavor was good. As the restaurant is brand new, I am withholding judgment at this time. I enjoyed my meal and will go back in the near future.

    This place is so nice! Apparently it's fairly new as there was a "now open" sign outside of the restaurant. The decor is so modern and chic! I loved it! The staff were all extremely friendly and welcoming as well. The food was absolutely delicious! I may be biased though because Mexican cuisine is my favorite lol. I had the ACP and all of the meats were cooked perfectly and flavorful! I can't wait to go back and try more!

    This is the King Baja Burrito. Awesome.

    The menu has a great assortment of food for any taste. The King Baja Burrito is awesome and can be shared with your partner in food. The service was fast, friendly and attentive. Made my wife's birthday special for sure. The ambiance is open, bright and beautiful. The center stage is the bar. Very cool vibe.

    They're seeding sycophantic reviews. Here's accurate and objective feedback: Food: Sysco special. Chicken tenders and fries for kids were drowning in salt and rubbery (looked like school cafeteria food), burrito was just a pile of filling with a tortilla thrown on top (ive never seen a burrito presented so poorly) and it was flavorless and chewy, and the kids tacos tasted dog food grade. We also ordered a cocktail and they brought the wrong one back and said final sale (is this K mart? What do you mean final sale?). When I pushed back she offered me a shot of JUICE to make up? Ridiculous. Service: slow, unprofessional, cold. When we came in and greeted the manager she ran off and waved us to the hostess. Bad sign. Hostess seemingly never heard of a booster seat (this is supposedly a neighborhood/family friendly grill). The server refused to write anything down, got our order particulars wrong, barely checked on us, offered us a pen and her order pad when we asked for crayons/kids worksheet (so bizarre). The place was empty on a Saturday at lunch yet there were 10+ employees on the floor sitting in the corner gossiping (I speak fluent Spanish). Ambiance: eerily empty, very green/unprofessional staff, no energy or vibe just utensils clanking, nice furniture and design that does not at all match up with the amateur service. Not at all friendly for small kids/families.

    Food and service were very good. The noise level was virtually unbearable. Our party of four had to yell to be hear. My Apple Watch warned of the decibel level exceeding 90. Might be back again, but not on a Friday night.

    Great small bites. I recommend you trying the Elote dip it was AMAZING and perfect for sharing with…read moretwo or more friends! They have great drink specials for different days of the week! Very speedy service all of their bartenders are very sweet and will fix whatever drink to your liking The vibes are disco balls on the ceiling very open very Miami Beach vibes they have an indoor and an outdoor seating area not only that they have fireplaces. If you get a little too far from their heated porch area! The vibes just don't stop. They have an aesthetic fireplace in side as well as a fake tree in the middle beautiful for taking pictures Their bathrooms are adorable, but you might have to wait a little bit on a busy day. But this is the same problem with every bar. Very glad that they have more than one bathroom.

    Stopped by the Velvet Hippo while out in downtown Durham. When you arrive parking can be a bit…read moretricky in this area as you'll need to find street parking or park in a nearby lot. When you walk in you'll need to either take the elevator or stairs up to the third floor. Once inside the bar you'll feel like you've been transported to an upscale, tropical bar. To order you'll need to walk up to the bar to place your order. I ordered the Hot Girl Summer (Olmeca Altos Reposado, fresh watermelon, Gran Gala orange liqueur, house-made habanero syrup, lime, salt half rim) which was so good. I also ordered a cheetahs do it in the dark (Astral Añejo tequila, Licor 43, Caffè Borghetti liqueur, espresso, orange twist) which was also excellent. I'd recommend walking out to the rooftop if it isn't too hot. There are several tables and the views of the city are nice. Definitely will come back to the velvet hippo next time I'm in Durham.
