It was MAGNÍFICA The manager, or owner checked on us multiple times and our server was super attentive. The food looked like a dream and was hot, well-seasoned, and all around delicious. We got a 60oz margarita and it was not only huge, but had scrumptious, fresh fruit and was refreshing and strong - idek how you do that! Lastly, the place was so cute! It felt elegant and made us want to take pictures. It was comfortable and overall felt like a top notch experience!

Stopped by La Santa for Taco Tuesday and wow the tacos didn't disappoint. The restaurant is located…read morein the Glenwood South area so I'd recommend grabbing street parking as you see a spot. Parking can be a bit difficult in this area depending on what time/day you go. Walking into La Santa the restaurant feels vibrant, energetic, and artistic which blends in with an industrial look and dia de los muertos murals on the walls. To be seated you'll check in with the host at front and then be shown to your table either inside or outside. When you sit down the server will bring complimentary chips and salsa to the table. The salsa and chips were food and not too spicy on the salsa/over salted on the chips. For food I ordered the Grilled Shrimp Tacos (Grilled shrimp, flour tortilla, homemade coleslaw, avocado, dehydrated onions, and homemade Chipotle sauce) and my partner ordered the De Pescado tacos (Mahi mahi fish, creamy sauce, cucumber, pico, mango, avocado, flour tortillas, and white rice). By far I would lean toward the shrimp for the flavor and softness of the meat. The fish was a bit tough to eat. Both taco plates also are served with a side of rice. Btw, on Tuesdays La Santa runs a special on taco plates (excluding the De Arrachera) for 50% off regular price. Highly recommend checking out La Santa if you are in the Glenwood South area. I'll have to try their cocktails next time.

It's a very cute restaurant. However, my best friend and I went to Chido Taco earlier and the food was not nearly as good as it used to be and tasted a lot less flavorful. Also I know I am maybe the last person to be talking about a restaurants music because I don't have amazing music taste but everytime before when I used to go the music was amazing and introduced me to so many different hispanic artists but when we went today it was all songs that you'd hear in a club. The restaurant is great I recommend going but I'm wondering if maybe Chido went under new management?

Gym Tacos is one of my favorite local fast-casual Mexican spots, and it hits every time…read more The steak burrito is awesome, flavorful (super juicy steak), filling (giant), and consistently well-made. Orders come out fast (usually within 5-10 minutes) and always warm, which is exactly what you want from a place like this. But let's be honest, the real star here is the salsa bar. Especially the green avocado sauce. It's so good it's honestly dangerous. I could drink that stuff. That sauce alone is the main reason I keep coming back, and it elevates everything on the menu. Yes, it's a smidge pricier than some other fast-casual Mexican spots, but between the quality, speed, and that salsa bar, I happily pay it every time. It feels worth it. If you're looking for quick, flavorful Mexican food with standout sauces and reliable execution, Gym Tacos is absolutely the move.

It's so unfair that the best Taco Bamba location imo happens to be the one farthest away from me…read more We have friends who came to visit us in the DC region, and fell in love with Taco Bamba when we brought them to the Vienna location. They would then make a point to come visit one of the locations (Springfield, Landmark, Vienna) anytime they were visiting. It was simply meant to be that they happened to relocate to Raleigh where a Taco Bamba location exists, so that now WE get to visit THEIR Bamba. Their Raleigh location specific tacos are truly amazing. The Queen Bee and Sweet Baby Jesus are delicious. It's also nice that this location has a really nice outdoor seating area. There's ample seating both indoor and outdoor, and despite it usually being busy we always manage to find a table.

They also have a sauce bar with medium and hot salsas! They also have a patio for outside dining with corn hole games as well! I will definitely be back - hopefully Teran will be working when I return. SIDE NOTE

The food arrived at 7:16pm, so if you're hoping to get in and out of this place quickly that likely won't happen. We ordered tacos and they were all delicious. The Oaxaca was a pleasant surprise that I highly recommend. The chicken Al carbon was tasty. You could taste the smokiness from being grilled. It was a little dry though so we added salsa to it. The picadillo with the seasoned ground beef was good. The steak was spicy but tasty as well rico style. Overall our only complaint was the wait time.

The quesadilla was flavorful as well, and the chicken was tender. I also tried the large chips and queso; the queso portion was generous, which I appreciated, but many of the chips were soggy and chewy, which made them hard to enjoy. Overall, it was a good experience with friendly staff, and I'll definitely be back for the fish tacos.

The food is equally impressive, made completely fresh to order. I went with the shrimp quesadilla, and it was packed with flavor and cooked to absolute perfection. With delicious food, top-tier drinks, and the convenience of staying open until 10 PM, this spot easily earns all five stars.

For food I ordered the Quesabirria Braised Beef Taco plate with rice, beans, and consome. My partner ordered 2 Al Pastor Tacos which also contained pineapple inside. The Quesabirria was excellent and the consome had a great level of spice that added great flavor to the tacos. The Al pastor tacos were also excellent and the salsa added a nice balance of flavor. Definitely check out Chido Tacos if you are looking for authentic Mexican food and are in the Downtown Raleigh area.
