    Birria Tacos after attempting to pick up a taco from the plate.

    If you're wanting birria tacos... I wouldn't recommend getting them from here. They have decent food, but they fumbled this menu item big time. Couldn't even pick up like a taco because it fell apart instantly. Only two came in the order and this plate cost $18.

    I finally found the best Mexican restaurant in Clayton and most likely within the surrounding area. You definitely get a warm and welcoming feeling upon walking in the door. This family-owned restaurant doesn't miss a beat in getting you seated, situated and ready for a drink. As most Mexican restaurants, the menu has a lot to offer and so does the full bar. They make a very good Margarita and plenty of chips and salsa to go with it. I was glad I tried the cheese dip with the chips, it was a pleasant switch from the customary salsa. The enchiladas verdes is a very tasty entree and clearly made with quality beef and chicken, which is yet another thing that sets this place apart. I now have two Mexican restaurants close by that I feel confident enough to dine at on a regular basis. Cheers!

    This place is really good!! As a guest of the city I was taken here by friends and family and honestly from the outside of the place it does not say much but what a gorgeous spot it is in the inside! The decor is very folkloric and they even have a bar from where I got me a delicious Sangrarita.... Slurps! I also added to my serving the Molcajete platter which is new on the menu but it is filled with awesomeness, shrimp, chicken, beef and a sauce that's easy on the buds. Our server was great, attentive for sure. Give them a try!!

My son loved them - I found the price a little high - but I also know grubhub tends to up the price in addition to tipping etc, so I won't complain to much on the pricing. I did like hie easy it was to order online though for all the flavors a description would have been nice. Would I order again, definitely I am hoping once Covid calms down we can find a good wing place my whole family enjoys. But I'm the interim I would define you order and do takeout from here.

Figured I could…read moretry something that I typically wouldn't since I didn't have to worry about the food getting cold during the 20-25 minute drive home from there. I got the 2 piece fish and 5 wing combo with fried okras instead of fries (upcharge for different side fyi) and a fountain drink. I wanted to wash my hands so I went to the women's bathroom and I was disgusted. It smelled horrible. I remember 1 or 2 of the women's stalls with an "Out of Order" sign so that could be why it smelled so bad but still... not a good look. Oh and the back door was wide open and there was a big wasp by the door near the ladies restroom. As a person who is not fond of bugs, it started to feel like I was in a house of horrors. The Honey Parmesan wings, great! The fried okras, delicious. The whiting, overcooked, kinda bland, would not get again. I played over that. If I hadn't of seen that bathroom, this probably would have been a 3.5 star review due to the wings and okra. I don't think I'll be back for awhile.

    Review on May 11, 2026: 3 stars…read more I visited this restaurant today with my parents because we felt like having some good seafood, and we have had good seafood at this restaurant before. The cashier was professional and took our order quickly. This was an order to go. After I received my receipt for using a credit card including the receipt with the itemized order, I realized there was a discrepancy on the total amount of my order versus what was charged to my credit card. There was a 3.5% difference. I questioned the cashier regarding this discrepancy, and she then pointed to a note that was stuck on the plastic shield in front of the cash register area. Apparently, if you use a credit card for your purchase, there's an extra 3.5% charge but if you use cash, you don't have that charge. I didn't make any extra fuss about it only because I needed to get my parents home; however, I was not at all happy with not being told this upfront. At the very least, this note on that plastic shield could have been pointed out for me to review before placing my order. I should not have had to find out about it after questioning a discrepancy to then be shown a note on a plastic shield. When you are at a fast food restaurant, you don't arbitrarily read stuff that's sticking on plastic shields or anywhere else for that matter. It should be up to the cashier to make mention about any changes to their policies or practices. As far as I am concerned, this is a very shady practice. I rated this restaurant with three stars and not lower because the food was good. The shrimps were cooked perfectly, and the buffalo sauce was fabulous! I always enjoy their hush puppies. The rice was okay. My parents enjoyed their grilled flounder and grilled bone-in pork chops. The portion sizes for all meals were a bit smaller than expected though. I don't like feeling like I was deceived or taken advantaged of. Not having that 3.5% highlighted to me at the time of my order feels very deceitful. I left feeling like I was taken advantage of. Not sure when/if I will return to this restaurant.

    Holy Grilled Catfish!!! As a Florida Girl I have eaten a…read moreton of seafood growing up and can be picky about fish restaurants. This was my 1st time driving to Garner on my way to the new VA Clinic for a fasting lab. As I turned onto Benson Road I couldn't help but notice the Carolina Fish Fry sign written in friendly letters almost welcoming me to stop in and have a bite. I KNEW I would be stopping here on the way back home to Raleigh. And I did. Just after noon and not having eaten since 9pm the previous day I was READY for some chow! As I got out of my car I noticed a Greek themed food truck parked outside. They have a partnership with the restaurant to use their kitchen to make the meals that are very good according to staff. It was closed when I arrived. But I was there for seafood. It was CALLING to me! As I approached the door I noticed the beach vibes and decor on the outside and inside of the restaurant. The menu has a lot of different types of fish and offers both grilled and fried options. I was little overwhelmed by the choices as I love all seafood. I asked the woman behind the counter what she would recommend. We must be kindred spirits because she recommended the catfish. I remembered that a fellow veteran I met that day while waiting in the fasting lab mentioned they go here "for the catfish." At first I was looking at the flounder. See, my Mom makes The BEST stuffed flounder in the WORLD. So, whenever flounder is on the menu, I have to go there. But, I can't turn down a good catfish. Uncle Hershel is a friend of mine. If you know, you know. I was given the choice of a basket? Or a platter. The player I believe had FIVE?! Pieces of fish plus sides. Now, I had been fasting, but I was pretty sure I could not eat FIVE pieces of fish. So I went for the smaller serving of three plus it came with three sides. The bottom three sides on the sides menu attached to the order window are premium sides with a $1.50 up charge. One of those is the fried okra; something I can't resist having grown up in the south. I got the grilled catfish. It was a hard choice as I really wanted fried, but trying to be healthier as I recently lost 6lbs. Plus, I got those fried hush puppies, fried okra and some healthy and OMG delicious best I ever had in the WORLD collard greens. In fact, my fork dove into the collards first. I couldn't stop eating them. I could taste the subtle hint of vinegar pepper sauce. But it wasn't spicy and didn't burn my mouth. I could eat an entire bowl of those collard greens. I don't normally make audible yummy sounds when eating in public. But, if you were sat nearby yesterday afternoon you would have heard me go "mmmm" with every bite. I'm not a religious person, but this was a "come to Jesus moment." I mean, these collard greens alone are a religious experience. You have to try them. Most places you go collard greens are over cooked. Not these. They kept their deep green color and tender but not cooked to death consistency. Tartar sauce and cocktail sauce is offered with the fish dishes. The tartar sauce tastes like it's homemade. Really good. I was dipping all sorts of things in the tartar sauce that I never did before it was that good. Oh no! I had an extra tartar sauce I brought home in my backpack that I JUST now realized I never put in the fridge. OOPS! Anyway, time for me to post some of the pics I snapped after my incredible meal washed down with pink lemonade. Free refills on drinks by the way. Super casual laid back vibe with Jimmy Buffet music playing in the background.

You can make reservations using the Yelp app, but we got there at 6pm Thursday and tables were open anyway. It filled up in about 90 minutes. Not a lot of pics in the huge menu. They have specials on certain days. After we ordered, we found out about a great deal for Thursdays. It was our fault we missed it because it was written RIGHT THERE on the menu. The lack of pics made it tough to order, though I'd had Indian many times. And the thick accents from the employees didn't help us to decide anything. Myself, I just stuck to curry. I picked mutton because I'd always wanted to try it. Yelp pics didn't help much either because few people write in descriptions what the photos are. Everything tasted amazing. They really know their food. Not to take anything away from the main dishes (I told you I loved them) but the standout for me were the fried pepper appetizers. A mix of just enough outside crunch and soft inside flavor. I'm no fan of chai tea, but I really liked theirs. The mutton was great, but I more prefer my meals without bones in them. Like with oxtails, which are routinely more skeleton than flesh, it's never a fine experience finding your bite to be a mouthful of bone. It's overrated, I promise you. The bill paying system is grossly inefficient. Tell them you want separate checks and nothing happens until the very end where everyone has to tell the server what they ordered, in a language they don't understand, mind you, and she charges everyone, one by one. It took like ten minutes to get through our party of five. It's a really bad method. Since it was my birthday, they played a YouTube video over the speakers. It was a generic "Happy Birthday To Whomever" type deal that worked fine, but they let it play for its whole fifteen minute runtime. It was cute, funny and ridiculous all at once. Wonderful food, nice servers, language barriers can be tough, and some questionable business practices still make this one a solid keeper. Just brace yourself.
