Tacos with delicious sauces
Amanda A.

Very good customer service from Liz! Very cheerful place with very quick food service. My mom enjoyed her tacos and felt the tortillas must be homemade. We will definitely return.

Tacos

Quick spot for decent tacos and Mexican food in chapel hill! Appreciate it because there's not many other options, it's fast, place was clean, and service was friendly! Got carne asada tacos, chicken tacos, and a barbacoa Gordita. The carne asada taco was for sure the standout! Decent portions at a good price!

Veggie Bowl
Glenn G.

We had a discount from a local dining club and wanted to try this place out. Stopped by on a weekday night and it was pretty empty when we arrived. Other than the music, the decor was pretty and ambiance were pretty plain. We ordered a veggie bowl and El Tesoro bowl. Both were decent but not necessarily outstanding. Slowly a few other young patrons came, probably college students. To be honest, the portions were small compared to other Mexican restaurants around. I have a feeling this is a very mom-and-pop operation and I wish them well.

Asada and Al Pastor tacos.
Lee S.

Great food. Excellent and fast service. Authentic in design and feel. We love the street tacos, chips and queso, and chimichangas!

Tacos and ENCHILADAS MINERAS
Craig L.

Good portions, friendly staff, legit af handmade corn tortillas. This was a great stop; small space inside but it's very nice bright and clean. We had Enchiladas Mineras w/ rice and beans, and tacos de lengua, cacheta, and campechano; all 3 were good but the lengua was best. The house salsa was nice and spicy. We will be back!

CHEESE TAMALES
Jaclyn N.

I ordered Door Dash, so I can't speak to the service or the atmosphere of the restaurant. However, the food was better than I expected. Ordered a variety of things. The steak quesadilla was by far the best with the two tacos a close second. The Gordita and cheese tamales were average, but not terrible. Spanish rice was good and the beans were tasty, albeit a bit chunkier than most places.

I was finally able to try this place last night after it being on my list for a while and I was NOT disappointed. My partner got an asada California burrito and I got an asada and an al pastor gordita - everything was delicious! We also tried the chips and salsa and hibiscus agua fresca - both winners. The portions are large and the menu is very reasonably priced. What really set this place over the top was the amazing customer service - they were amazingly nice and really went above and beyond for everyone I saw come in while I was there. I can't wait to go back!

Birria & carne asada tacos
Nicole C.

Cute Mexican spot with a lively, vibrant atmosphere. Staff was friendly and the lady who took my order was very willing to answer questions about the menu. I went with the Birria tacos and one carne asada taco. The birria tacos were decent but not the best I've had. Visually they looked so good and my favorite part was the way the torilla was prepared. However the meat was not as tender as i would've liked and the flavor was slightly lacking. On the other hand, the flavor and texture of the carne asada was really good! Overall, it was a good meal and I definitely want to come back to try the rest of the menu. My friend got a burrito and she said it was the best burrito she had ever had.

Top is the GORDITAS bottom is the JALAPENO RELLENO TACO.
Alyssa R.

Such a delicious restaurant located in Chapel Hill. Although the menu is simple, you can customize to accommodate dietary requirements. I ordered the jalapeño relleno taco with black beans instead of refried and the veggie Gordita. Service was friendly and I will absolutely come back and try the other items on the menu!

I'm very excited to have this style of Mexican restaurant right in my neighborhood. The kitchen is open so you can see them grilling in there. Smells wonderful. Hopefully it will remain this busy over time. Waiting on my quesadilla now!

My new favorite restaurant! Everything is delicious and fresh. Street tacos, quesabirria, jamaica sorrel.. yum

BURRITO CALIFORNIA

Fresh, flavorful, and delicious. For a reasonable price you get a couple pound burrito with your choice of meat and tasty ingredients. For a quick lunch on the go or takeout, this place exceeded my expectations.

See all

Food was decent, prices average for the neighborhood -- but cleanliness of the place was a little concerning. I'm not sure I'd go back.

They have the best Mexican food in the area. Friendly service and they keep the tables clean, especially for how busy they get.
