    Food was fine. Service was fine. Nothing that stood out -- besides 1 taco for $3, and 3 for $10. Don't fall for this place's tactics. A bit outrageous.

    When looking for a place to eat in Walkertown, it's slim pickings. We found 2 Mexican restaurants that were top choices and made our way to El Maguey. The weather was beautiful so we requested an outdoor table, the seating area had a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. We sat for approximately 15 minutes until someone stopped by and asked if we had been help, we had not. Our drink order was taken, chips and salsa arrived. As we waited for our drinks, an employee stopped at the table and wanted to know who took us to and how we got to this table. It was a bit awkward and probably not a question you would ask a customer. 20 min later our food arrived....Carnitas and ACP. I am a carnitas fan and could claim to be an expert on how they should be cooked and how they taste. I must say, this meal was a disappointment. Each one of our meals were plain and tasteless. The carnitas looked boiled, not fried, had no seasoning and were rubbery. The chicken on the ACP lacked seasoning as well. They must rely on the smothered cheese to mask the blandness. On several occasions we asked for more chips and salsa, drink refills, these requests needed several attempts. Most of the table decided not to eat and take the food home for a reheat and proper seasoning. It took 3 requests to receive carry out boxes. El Maguey....I apologize for the brutally honest review, hoping this will help with future customer experiences.

    Downtown gem found via Yelp! Everyone that gave a 5 star review was dead on. Tulum is fantastic…read more The restaurant itself is cool as hell. I love the set up, the decor and the vibe. The staff are the friendliest people in Winston Salem. Luis is a tremendous dude. Aside from his in depth knowledge of the menu, he had excellent recommendations. The small talk was absolutely our pleasure. Luis is a cool guy and wonderful soul. As first timers, we went with the ribeye tacos. Let me tell you, it's a legit ribeye on a taco. It was a fantastic cut of meat and incredibly tender. Luis recommended the habanero salsa. Chef's kiss! It was perfect. Anyway, I loved the place. If you're downtown, check it out.

    I stopped by Tulum Bar & Grill and sat at the bar, which made for a relaxed and enjoyable…read moreexperience overall. The atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming, and the bar area is a nice spot to unwind and people-watch. The bartender was attentive and welcoming, which definitely added to the experience. I ordered a mango margarita, which was refreshing and well-balanced and one of the highlights of the visit. I also tried the shrimp and scallops dish served in a pineapple, which was flavorful and fun in presentation, though I did feel the pricing leaned a bit high for what you receive. Overall, it's a solid spot for drinks and a casual night out, especially if you're sitting at the bar. I'd return for the margaritas and the vibe, just with the expectation that it's more of a splurge than an everyday stop.
