Cheap fast food Mexican. Carne asada is overcooked and chewy and had way too much guacamole. But chorizo con huevos was excellent. Your mileage may vary. read more

The best supreme nachos EVER! Its the only thing I've had from here because I can't get over the nachos. Always fresh. Takes a little while in drive through but its worth every bite! Kindaaa wanna go now. read more

Great soft tacos! Popped in when we were in the area and decided to try this place because it looked like one of those 'hidden secrets' and it is. Simple, authentic, tasty. read more

Amazing fresh and hot food. I went to Los Cuates and ordered 4 tacos and they were fresh and hot with onions and cilantro. I realized they served breakfast and came back the following day for that. I got an sausages egg and cheese burrito which was amazing real eggs real cheddar cheese and the sausage was delicious the burrito was huge I got a side of pico. I will definitely be back read more

My food was terrible! My burrito was missing half of the ingredients listed, and the "potatoes" were french fries (most likely day old from the taste and texture). I only ate about 1/4 of it and threw the rest out it tasted so bad! Two others in my party got tacos and really enjoyed them (the only reason I'm not giving one star). read more

I've been searching for a decent and cheap mexican food place. I'm an Arizona transplant and I love me some mexcian food. I know I'm not in the same place anymore and it's a little hard to come by out here. But Los Cuates delivers! It's good, cheap and everything you want from a fast food mexican place. The burritos are huge and you could feed on them the whole day. They even have green chili burritos!!! Oh green chili I never thought I would see you again. Lots of sauces to choose from and a drive thru. I will be going back. I'm so happy to have found a place similar to the fast food mexican place back in the Az! read more

I've gotten takeout from here 3 times now and have never been disappointed. The cook is pretty amazing to watch and they have always been really nice. The salsa on the left in the salsa bar is nice and spicy. I wondered how it could stay open with so many other authentic Mexican restaurants nearby on capital. The answer is because it's amazing and fast. This will continue to be my go to place for quick Mexican takeout. read more

I've been to this place twice and it got bonus points right away for having spicy carrots. You find these in all the taco shops in Southern California. I saw the special was a chicken burrito and decided to try that. After talking with the guys that worked there I realized they were from San Diego. I asked if they made a California burrito and they said "yeah but here we call it a Carolina Burrito." I almost ordered one of those to go. I got one the second time I visited and the only thing missing was enchilada sauce on the inside. I will have to make sure I ask for that. The meat wasn't as seasoned as it is back home but everything else was very similar. It's a small thing but I really love the tortillas. They are slightly fried and have a certain smell to them. It reminds me of late nights after clubbing with friends in taco shops. The people that work there are very friendly and I think if you talked to them they'd make you whatever you want. I didn't look at the menu much but I'm going to see if they have rolled tacos also called taquitos. I saw they have another So Cal fave the Carne Asada fries. That's an artery clogging specialty. This place is going to be a weekly haunt and I highly recommend it. It's a change from the cookie cutter tex-mex that is all over the triangle. I hope these places expand. Maybe eventually they'll be open 24hrs just like in SD. Just thought I'd clarify what a Carolina Burrito is A burrito filled with - Carne asada Pico De Gallo French fries or crunch potatoes Cheese *In San Diego they also include Enchilada Sauces, you can also order them "wet" which means the enchilada sauce is poured on top of the burrito to. The Carne Asada burritos here aren't bad but don't expect the same kind of seasoned meat you would fine in San Diego. The other reviews don't lie the burritos are huge here. Or maybe what size they should be. If you're a native of San Diego or Southern California check this place out. read more

Food was good, great sised tostada salad for the price. Thankfully, I eat pork since I waited 25 min at the drive-thru and got the wrong salad...after it was confirmed upon me paying. However, food tastes very good. Please fix the drivethru speaker so the accurate order is given & a drivethu shouldn't take 25-min, just sayin :-) read more

The food here taste like someone's abuela (grandma) is in there making it. The tacos I got were so good, I should have ordered more. The service is fast and it is super cheap as well. So worth the visit. What I like most is that this place is not the Americanized Mexican we are used to. When I was in Mexico this is how the tacos are made. Small, soft, pinch-able, all fresh ingredients, with limes, cilantro, and salsa. Great place to go late at night if you need to get your Mexican fix without waking up somebodies' abuela. read more

Consistently good food and the carne asada burritios are awesome. The tres leches cake is great. Just great Mexican fast food done Cali style. It's a little piece of San Diego here is Raleigh. The owners are from Chula Vista and it shows. I love it. read more

We ordered bean and cheese burrito and tostadas. The beans were not eatable. My husband and I are from Arizona and we have never tasted anything close to these beans....no flavor.... Chips were stale too. We were really excited about this place and were anxious to try it. Disappointed read more

I love burritos. I don't care if it's the puny ones that come from Taco Bell or the big ones that come from those yuppy boxes such as Moe's or Chipoltle's. But, recently I tried this place and the heavens opened up and the angles sung as O enjoyed each and every savoury bit from the burritos I tried. I loved it so much that I had to go back the next day and try another one-THE SHRIMP BURRITOS ARE THE GREATEST!!! read more

Carnitas burrito w/ cheese, sour cream + potatoes = works every time. Wife likes the rolled tacos AVOID: Carne asada - nope. Doesn't work. In their defense, good carne asada is tough to come by in NC. However, the shredded beef is good. Other menu items vary, but these are fast food staples for us. If it matters, CA natives (San Diego + central valley) Churros are proper too. Oh, the sanitation score is 95.5 as of this date. read more

I give them 5 stars because I have been here on multiple occasions and the food has been amazing every time. Do yourself a favor and stop here for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Fast and inexpensive......and delicious. read more

It's been exactly a year since I moved here from San Diego and this is the first legit Mexican place I have been to! Will be back. The carne asana burrito was amazing! read more

Good stuff. Lots of tasty cabbage on the fish burrito- fish breaded to perfection. The shredded beef was a little overseasoned, but the fish more than made up for it. And there was a drive-thru!! read more

Highly recommend the Carolina Burrito. It's a huge burrito for the price. Anyone from Southern California will recognize this is a classic California burrito. read more

OK... finally a place in Raleigh with pretty good Mexican food. I have tried the bean and cheese burritos and the Pollo Asado burritos which I highly recommend. I tried the fried fish tacos and didn't care of them. After missing my California Mexican food, I can finally have a decent bean and Cheese burrito!! Plus a drive through!! Very happy a colleague from California gave me a heads up on this place. read more

This place is solid good Mexican food, cheap and bonus: has a drive through. Love the chile rellenos and the green hot sauce. You can't go wrong at these prices and the portions are large- you can make two meals out of it. read more

Carne Asada tacos are banging. Fresh toppings and great tasting beef. Corn tortillas fresh tasting also. I'm here on business and was very satisfied. read more

Love, love, love this place! This is the best mexican food we've found since we moved here from Los Angeles. If you are from SoCal and are looking for that hole-in-the-wall fresh, authentic mexican food, thesis it. The family that owns these 2 restaurants is originally from San Diego and it shows. Try it - you'll be hooked. read more

I have been here a few times but have not managed to explore the menu, can't get past the carne asada burrito. Best burrito ever! I have to drive from Holly Springs to treat myself every now and then. So worth the trip, great portion great flavors, get two if you're really hungry. read more

First visit yesterday, had a shredded chicken burrito it was great! adding this place to my regular rotation. very california authentic.

Great value. Plenty of meat in their burittos. They can put beans and rice in there if you ask. I don't think they say they make California burittos. read more

WE LOOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEE THIS PLACE! We actually have a game plan, to MAKE SURE they stay in business, lol, "I'll buy you your first burrito, but you have to promise to do the same for someone else" .... AND EVERYONE ALWAYS DOES! It is a drive through, or pick up, but its REAL FOOD, at a GREAT price. (And they are VERY nice people, they will be MORE than happy to make you a Burrito any way you like it! I personally, add a LITTLE cheese, and sour cream) I DONT like rice and beans IN my burrito. PREFERENCE, I guess, but THIS PLACE ROCKS! (I also recommend, the Chicken Burrito, rolled tacos, Carne Asada Chimichanga w/ side of rice and beans (MY FAVORITE)! Enjoy! read more

Terrible food. This place has the worst service, I wouldn't even take my dog here to eat. They don't even give refunds

That was by far the most disgusting food I have ever eaten. By the way the Health score is now 90 and it shows. Ordered the burrito with bean and cheese and I could have gotten better at Taco Bell. I lived in SF and this ain't no good Mexican food. I found a great place in Durham, very authentic...and was looking for that in Raleigh. Oh well, sera read more

I sometimes love it but when ever I get the burrito and tell them not to put something in it they put it in anyways. So yeah that kinda sucks. read more

This is hands down the best San Diego style Mexican restaurant in Raleigh. I was really missing food from So Cal but I don't have to any longer. It so nice to find a place here that doesn't put beans and rice in everything, Just like in TJ! If you're from So Cal and missing the food, GO HERE! Best Burrito in Raleigh. read more
