I decided to come here for lunch after overhearing someone talk about a "crunchwrap restaurant" and I definitely made the right decision. Instead of a crunchwrap I decided to order a burrito and got the chicken plantain burrito with no cheese and added guac. The burrito took about 10 minutes to come out and it was absolutely FANTASTIC! It was huge and definitely filled me up. This was my first time at the Durham Food Hall and it certainly won't be my last. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Overall: I liked the crunchwrap here, would be interested in trying their other menu items next time. Food: I ordered the crunchwrap and it was great. I was describe it as a more upscaled version of the taco bell crunchwrap supreme. Service: Came during lunch hours and the wait was pretty standard. Ambiance: Ex-Voto is in a food hall, so plenty of seating and lots of space indoors. read more

If you haven't tried Ex Voto's crunchwraps, then you're missing out! Got the beef barbacoa crunchwrap which was stuffed with beef short rib, pickled onions, guac and lettuce. The outside of the wrap is crispy as it is sealed with a layer of cheese and all of the different fillings come together and are so juicy and flavorful. Portions are large and super filling! The chips/salsa were pretty average. Our food was prepared quickly and there was no trouble finding seating on a weekday evening. read more

I ordered a standard chicken Crunchwrap it was 10000 times better than one from Taco Bell. Picked jalapeños and more. Perfectly spicy, and fantastic flavor I highly recommend this place for lunch if you're in the area. Service took about ten minutes at lunch rush. read more

Love this little food joint in the Durham Food Hall, especially the Pork Belly Crunch Wrap on Tuesdays -- it's so crunchy and juicy! The service is quick, and if you come when they have live music, you can enjoy a free concert while you eat. read more

I got one of the crunchwraps, and the person I was with got a burrito. We both enjoyed it! Mine was a little bit on the greasy side but that's probably because I ordered the pork belly. Would definitely go back! read more

Ex-Voto - Pork belly crunch wrap - Mexican Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

My friend and I had dinner here on a Tuesday evening. The worker who took our order and served us was so friendly and our food was ready in less than 10 minutes. The chicken burrito I ordered was pretty good and I especially liked that it had plantains since they added a fun/different texture. I ordered mine without cheese and sour cream (no dairy for me) and thought it was just a bit dry / could've used some sauce, but that might have been due to the lack of cheese/sour cream. Next time I'll ask for extra sauce / avocado to make up for it! read more

Stopped in with a friend for lunch and was pleasantly surprised! The Food Hall has great energy, it's a fun place to be. Food came out quick and hot, and was incredibly flavorful. Service was good. read more

Ex-Voto was one of the restaurants I hadn't tried yet in Durham Food Hall, so I decided to check it out on my most recent trip. I ended up getting a chicken crunch wrap, and man can the people who work there project their voices when peoples' orders are ready :) I was impressed at how audible the names were! I really enjoyed my chicken crunch wrap, and it was pretty darn filling due to the queso and copious amount of other ingredients. I'd definitely come back here again! read more

I had a great burrito bowl with chicken, onions, and plantains. It was scrummy - and the service was great.

Ex-Voto We decided to go to the Durham Farmer's Market saturday morning (my favorite farmer's market around this area!), which is right by the Durham Food Hall. We were so excited to try the "infamous 1 pound" crunchwraps from Ex-Voto, which is inside the Durham Food Hall. The service was prompt - We waited only about 10 minutes and our name was announced over their speaker. The actual food stand was adorable and had some fun decorations! We got there right at 10am when they open on Saturdays and ordered at the counter. I got the chorizo crunchwrap, my husband got the beef barbacoa crunchwrap, and sides of fire-roasted salsa, chipotle sour cream, and house hot sauce. The chorizo crunchwrap was beautifully greasy and spicy (as you'd expect and hope for with chorizo ) and the chipotle sour cream added that creaminess and helped cool off the spice. The beef barbacoa crunchwrap was less spicy - the barbacoa was so juicy and the pickled onions here added a lovely acidity and sweetness. We added some house hot sauce and chipotle sour cream to this which added that creaminess and spiciness. These crunchwraps are famous for a reason! We will definitely be back for more. *Chorizo Crunchwrap: spiced pork sausage, queso dip, pickled jalapeños, pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, & chipotle crema; sealed w/ grilled hoop cheese *Beef Barbacoa Crunchwrap: braised beef, queso dip, pickled jalapeños and onions, pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, & avocado salsa; sealed w/ grilled hoop cheese *Fire-Roasted Salsa *House Hot Sauce *Chipotle Sour Cream read more

Located in the Durham Food Hall & home to the 1lb Crunchwrap! We got the chori-pollo Crunchwrap (Mexican chorizo, roasted chicken, pickled red onion, spicy queso, shredded romaine, pico de gallo, salsa, and a yellow corn tostada in a flour tortilla and cheese). Not mind-blowing to me but it was tasty and I appreciated all the fillings and flavors. We got the avocado salsa added and it was good, 60 cents extra. Ambiance is good, service was fast. 7/10 would recommend! read more

Ex voto has been my favorite spot for a crunch wrap since 2021. And 3 years later they never disappoint. The chorizo crunch wrap makes taco bell look like a joke. The food is fantastic, service is great and they are super clean. There are other spots in the food hall here but none compare. Ex Voto for life read more

Wow. I thought I had ordered the burrito but it was the Crunchwrap. I'm an eater and missed lunch today but between their chorizo wrap and chips - you could easily split that amongst two. Only negative - chips are a bit too oily for my taste read more

We were in Durham for the day and decided to visit the Durham Food Hall since there was a lot a variety and let's be honest, who doesn't love a food hall? The vibe alone is worth it! After perusing all the choices, we happily settled on Ex-Voto after having checked out their menu. And I'm so glad that we did! The service was top notch and I couldn't pass up a crunchwrap! They had me at cheesy crust and this pocket of joy was amazing!! The beef was cooked perfectly and it hit every possible craving you ever had. Their green salsa was out of this world too! And I sopped up my crunch wrap in it too! Can't wait to visit again! read more

We got the holy trinity (queso, guac and salsa) for $20. It came with two bags of chips and three large containers. The queso was fabulous. the guacamole needed something like lime/salt- it wasn't like horrible but it was quite mediocre. The salsa on the other hand just tasted like chunky water. absolutely no flavor whatsoever. i wish they had an option for smaller portions as well especially due to the price. it came out really quickly which was a plus. Don't waste your money on anything other than the queso. read more

Great choice in food hall in Durham ! My husband got a bowl. He said it was super fresh, and delicious. A little bit of a wait- but it was a weekend at lunchtime! Love that they give you real silverware and glasses to drink from. Classy food hall!! read more

My friend and I visited Durham food hall on a weekday evening. The ambiance was very dim and empty inside the hall. There weren't many customers when we arrived, but we were luckily able to order right away. I ordered the beef barbacoa Crunchwrap which was delicious! I loved the crusted cheese on the outside and the strong flavors of the wrap. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be back. read more

Crunchwrap supreme but BETTER. Ex-Voto made all my Crunchwrap dreams come true with this one. I'd heard great things but finally got the chance to try it myself when we visited the Durham Food Hall. They have various flavors and ingredients but I went with their classic which had spicy chorizo, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and their homemade sauce all wrap up in a tortilla, grilled on the flattop and topped with crispy crunchy melty cheese. This was their mini version which was perfect for a quick snack. Their large version is a behemoth and both are such a great value for the price! The owners are creative and kind so you feel great supporting such a neat small business! read more

Went to Ex Voto for a late lunch today and from the experience I had about a year ago to today a lot has changed and not in a good way. First, the service was very lackluster with the staff not being very warming and kind. I asked about their tacos, as they were around a year ago, but unfortunately I was told with a little jab that they are no longer on the menu. So, I decided after reviewing their menu to get the seven layer bowl. The bowl comes with a heaping amount of rice, beans, guacamole, Pico de gallo, and cheese--wow, so much food! Unfortunately the quality just was not there. It had an odd after taste that I did not enjoy and it was a little on the salty side. I couldn't finish my food and after spending $17 it made me very sad that I will now have to spend more money to get full. Three stars for the amount of food you receive for what you pay. You definitely get two or three meals out of your leftovers. But, the quality is not there. Also, they put an automatic charge for a living wage for their staff, which I found to be awesome! read more

The chicken Crunchwrap was scrumptious! Loved that they put an outer layer of cheese and jalapeños which adds a kick. Also ordered the chicken and plantain 7-layer burrito bowl which was good, however, did not contain many plantain pieces. Will definitely visit again when in Durham. read more

I liiiiiive for their spicy shrimp crunch wrap (Thurs special) - probably one of my favorite meals ever. The crunch, the freshness, the spice, the cheese - got it all going on. I definitely had sticker shock at first but it is a good amount in the portion, and my partner and I can often split a single one if not overly hungry. The other crunchwraps have nothing on the shrimp sadly - asada probably a distant 2nd. Service is friendly and great. read more

I ordered a chicken crunchwrap and it was very good. My husband (vegetarian) however ordered a vegetarian burrito and was served a chicken plantain burrito. After one bite he realized there was chicken in his mouth and spit it out and went to the counter to correct the issue. And then he was gaslit about his own order telling him "no, you ordered the chicken plantain". They ended up remaking it and we had a nice time after, DFH was very fun and lively. Also I am not anti-tipping, but they did include the 10% "you pay my employees so I don't have to" charge up front which was fine but then felt very icky given the way the burrito mix up was handled Would likely go back if I was at DFH but will be double, triple checking my receipt next time read more

This might be the best burrito I have ever had. I was in town for work and originally got a chicken bowl but didnt get to finish it and someone threw it away. But it left such a lasting impact I just had to go back. So I got a burrito because I was driving back to Charlotte and needed to eat and drive (don't judge me). The burrito was so amazing. I got back to Charlotte and was so sad that there was no where I felt I could get just as good of a burrito at in Charlotte. Please do yourself the favor and get anything from here, it is all good. read more

Got their most popular option which is the Short Rib Barbacoa Crunchwrap which came with braised beef short rib, pickled onions and jalapenos, some queso cheese and veggies. It was also served with their hoop cheese which is essentially a cheese crust on the outside of the tortilla. The short rib was nice and tender but it was pretty bland and could use a ton of salsa. I think this had a lot of potential but the juices from the pico de gallo made the tortilla really soggy despite having a cheese outer shell. I kinda just ate around the tortilla. Can't quite compare to a crunch wrap supreme from taco bell.... It's inside of a food hall hall which had plenty of seating. I like how they have communal water, napkins and utensils everywhere. read more

The Crunchwrap supreme of my dreams. When I signed up for the taste carolina food tour, my friend Hannah said "I hope we get the Crunchwrap" and boy am I glad we did. This was one of the tastiest bites of the year for me so far. I cannot wait to go back and try all of the options ! They're currently located in the Durham food hall but are looking at opening a new location soon so be on the lookout! read more

This is a solid Crunchwrap! It's like a better version of Taco Bell's Crunchwrap with cheese on top. I will say it gets soggy fast so eat it quickly. Will definitely have to come back to try the other items. The atmosphere is pretty cool since it's inside the food hall. Service was a little slow but most likely to the large amounts of volume for food. Would recommend ordering ahead of time online. read more

We were headed to Carolina Theater for a concert and needed a quick bite to eat so stopped at the Durham Food Hall as it is super close by. I was immediately drawn to Ex-Voto when I saw mention of a Crunchwrap! It was delicious-sealed with burnt cheese for exceptional crunch and the queso, jalapeños, chicken thighs, lettuce, & pico inside were a delight! Thumbs up for prompt check out and quick prep as well. The ambiance in the food hall isn't perfect as they were completely out of forks and the trash cans were mounded high with plates, cups, & food debris but that will not reflect on my Crunchwrap perfection! Oh and afterwards I discovered the owners are the Centro people, and we live downtown Raleigh and frequent their restaurant so no surprise there! read more

We ordered food through Durham Delivers which was set up by our neighborhood. We were able to order online and pickup outside at our clubhouse. I absolutely love that this was an option for us. We are still not comfortable dining out due to Covid and this makes it so easy for us to get takeout and support local restaurants! The food was awesome! We had Rajas Poblanas Bowls. These were tasty and the perfect amount of spicy! We also ordered a half pint of the fire-roasted salsa and paired it with some our own tortilla chips at home. The salsa was also really good! The online ordering was a little confusing to me since there were a lot of places to choose from. I also noticed I couldn't select the exact date, so I was a little worried our order might not have been correct, but I followed all directions and everything was perfect! The person that delivered was masked up, organized, and friendly. I will definitely get food from Ex-Voto again! read more

Alright -- let's get the price tag out of the way of the crunchy wrap. It will cost you $16-17 no doubt but...wait...wait for it...TOTALLY WORTH IT! The crunchy wrap is definitely one of a kind. I can't explain it in words but your taste bud can do so. If you're feeling adventurous and want a new experience, I highly recommend it. The wrap can easily feed two people. They had a crispy pork chop crunchy wrap so I decided to get that instead of the chorizo. The pork was so tender and cook to perfect. A nice crust and bite to the wrap. The filling and sauce blended together so well, just enough to supper the wrap; not overly the top like a burrito. Overall, awesome food booth! Great customer! read more

This place had me at crunch wrap supreme. Plus it's in a food hall, so what's not to like? Covid-19: you can order and pay online. The food hall was empty when I went in to pick mine up. It was set up to be one way. There are a couple of small tables to eat at outside if it's not too cold. We got the Chorizo-Wrap Supremo and a Chicken and Plantain Burrito. The burrito was good, but I was hoping for a little more plantain flavor. The star of the show was the Chorizo-Wrap Supremo. As a huge Crunch Wrap Supreme fan, this was perfect. It's obviously much better than a crunch wrap supreme, but it had all of the same elements. I loved the use of chorizo too. It was absolutely delicious. Come here, get a Chorizo-Wrap Supremo, and thank me later. read more

As a foodie, I have to say that Food Halls hold a special place in my heart. The concept to put a variety of places under one roof is pure genius, if you ask me. They started building the Durham Food Hall right as we were relocating to Charlotte. They opened their doors right in the middle of COVID, so we didn't get a chance to drive down and give them a try. More recently a friend of mine decided to finally go and it absolutely loved it! We decided to give the first try to Ex-Voto and it was definitely a great choice! They offer "fast-casual" Mexican cuisine, using local produce, herbs and spices as much as possible. Their food is freshly made in-house and you can definitely taste it. My friend got the seven layer burrito bowl with the beef short rib barbacoa, and I got the short rib barbacoa crunchwrap - both were sooo delicious!! We also got the Holy Trinity (queso, guac and salsa) and it was also very tasty! They're definitely going to be added to my list of places to re-visit in Durham! xoxo, @rondaexplores read more

Went with daughter and her kids, menu was diverse enough to satisfy all. The chorizo Crunchwrap was great, surprisingly meaty yet complex in the variety of components, completely filling me up. The veggie crunchwraps were also a hit and the beverages were all great and a mix of familiar and novel. Saturday at noon was crazy busy yet they got the food out quickly and the quality was top notch. The food hall is a madhouse but the vibe is fun and pretty cool so no one complained about the noise. The food presentation is both inventive and satisfying, well worth the modest cost. A winner for us, will recommend to friends and be back ourselves! read more

Not only was the customer service great but the food was even better!!! Can't wait to go back with more friends. I'm sharing the secret!

Unfortunately, the chicken bowl did not have any flavor, until I added the chipotle sour cream. Even then, I could've gone to Chipotle and spent less money. Overpriced. Plus side was the service. The person that took our order answered our questions. Will not return nor recommend. read more

I first tried Ex Voto when they were doing pop-ups across Durham and quickly realized they were worth waiting in long lines because the food is so good. I have never had anything that I didn't thoroughly enjoy (although it ranges from delicious to absolutely delicious). Their space in the food hall does not disappoint. The burritos are fantastic (get them dirty sealed in cheese) and I actually prefer the veggie burritos. The Sonoran hot dog is fantastic and I haven't been able to get one in this area. The crunch wraps are also great especially if you don't want as much food as the burrito. I don't usually like nachos and the nacho kit was delectable. I still haven't gotten to try the wings because they sell out so quickly. The pickup at the food hall is very easy (order on the app and it will be on the table) but be sure to order early because they will sell out. I can't wait for them to continue expanding their menu because their tacos and tamales are amazing. I wish they could also have a margarita to go with the food (or maybe partner with the Auctioneer?)-- that's really the only way the Ex Voto experience could get better. read more

The seven layer burrito is an excellent choice that won't leave you feeling too heavy. The Food Hall is always busy so finding seating is tough, but an exciting environment. A little pricier, but you get an authentic Durham experience. read more

Amazing food and portion sizes! I've had their burrito, burrito bowl, and pork belly crunch wrap, and I have been more than satisfied each time. The sauces they put on are great, but be prepared for some to leak out as you eat the crunch wrap. And as long as you're not starving the burrito bowl could go for at least 1.5 meals. Would always come back! read more

Ex-Voto is responsible for one of the most delicious things that I've had in 2021, and I thank them for that! The Chorizo Crunchwrap was everything that I wanted it to be and more. The menu describes it best, stating that "It's like Taco Bell's Crunchwrap Supreme on steroids." Ex-Voto is located in Durham Food Hall which offers a number of food and drink options all under one roof. These food halls are becoming more and more popular, and I'm a big fan. My wife and I were in Durham for the weekend and I happened to see a picture of the Chorizo Crunchwrap as I was perusing Yelp. I knew that we had to go experience this thing. The ordering process is supposed to be scan a QR code and then order on your phone. Seems like a good process, but that requires there to be LTE and/or WIFI. Even though Durham Food Hall has its own WIFI, it was not working at all. According to the owner of Ex-Voto, that happens all of the time. It could have been a frustrating experience that turned us away, but the owner quickly saved the day by taking orders himself and apologizing. It was a Master Class in how to handle the situation. Then, even though they were slammed, understaffed, and getting flooded with online orders, he apologized for our food taking ten minutes. Even on a normal day when everything is running smoothly, there is no need to apologize for ten mins to get food. I absolutely loved this place, and it will be on my short list of must go back to in Durham. The Crunchwrap was amazing, the service was top notch, and the owner was a class act. This next part is for Durham Food Hall management that they will probably never see: **Make sure that you have reliable WIFI for the businesses that pay your bills and paychecks. It is completely unfair to these businesses, which I'm sure pay a pretty penny for rent, to throw a wrench in their ability to serve their customers effectively** Stepping off of my soapbox. read more
