The menu can be a bit overwhelming so I suggest taking look at it before you go. The dining space is small but has plenty of seats for everyone. I went with 3-tacos and fries. I got three different ones -- marinated pork, steak, and chorizo and they were all just as good! There's a nice crisp to the meat, which I enjoyed! The tortilla was on spot! I believe it's homemade. The pineapple Fresca was quite good too! Just the perfect balance of sugar. I also got an order of fries, which was was okay. I felt like it was a bit undercooked but it came with a side of sauce similar to the shrimp/white sauce that comes with hibachi. Interesting but good! Overall, fantastic customer service! I look forward to trying other items on the menu.

Loved this place…read more Decor was very interesting, bright and fun. The couch type chairs are very comfy and place was clean. The young workers behind the register were very friendly, helpful about what was good and gave great menu item descriptions. They were very excited about the food on the menu and shared personal favorites. Food came out fairly quickly but not together for the table. They also kept forgetting items from our order but were quick to get it for us. Note the workers taking the order behind the counter are also the ones bringing the food out. Food was amazing! I have the 3 birria tacos (1 chicken 2 beef- though I ordered it flipped but appreciated the error as the beef were better tasting) and rice with beans. Loved that I got the birria sauce on the side in a Togo cup as I definitely took the leftovers home. There are self serve salsas, lime, cucumber and radishes you can get. Appreciate they had vegan option for my partner. Will definitely come back to try more off the menu.

The menu is pretty simple but I think it has everything you'd want at a taco joint. I got the Chicken and steak bowl. The person working the counter initially told me that I was only able to get one protein and I told him to go ask a manager to make sure. He returned and told me I could indeed order more than one, which was great because I knew what I wanted. The bowl was good overall. It was light and fresh. All the ingredients tasted well together and it didn't feel overly processed.

I don't want a restaurant to do everything, I want it to do one thing well. The chips were not crispy, hot or salty enough for my taste, and the salsa was super bland (I can't tolerate spicy but I do like flavor). I ordered vegetarian fajitas, which were just ok. The veggies were tasty, but not super varied (some places have grilled tomato and summer squash, this was mostly peppers and onions with a tiny bit of mushroom and zucchini). The refried beans and rice were very tasty. The service was perfectly pleasant. The ambiance was nice- lots of comfortable booths and a family friendly atmosphere. Probably would not go back.

We ordered the Mango Margarita, Piñita Rebelde, and Amor Prohibido, and all three were really good. If you like fruity margaritas, you'll enjoy these. For food, we tried the Fajita Burrito, Pollo Caliente, and Pollo El Mazatlan. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. No complaints on the food side. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is the service. We were sitting outside since we had our FurBaby with us , and the service was pretty slow. After our food came, it kind of felt like we were forgotten. I had to go up to the front to ask someone to refill chips & salsa and even to get a to-go box. Overall though, good drinks and tasty food. If you're in Chapel Hill and craving Mexican with solid margaritas, it's worth checking out!

The menu is quite vast and they do have good vegetarian options as well. We ordered seafood enchiladas and a burrito grande and honestly it was grandeee :-D Prices are not high at all considering the portion sizes. Quality of food is easily 10/10. We ended up taking half our plates home. Nice place to sit overall. Interiors are good, lighting is pleasant, and seating feels comfortable with enough personal space. I think I just found my new favorite Mexican restaurant :) P.S. - They had a special Mother's Day dessert and didn't even charge for it. It was a really sweet and thoughtful gesture.

It was not very busy and we were seated immediately…read more It seemed like there was only one waitress but there was only one other party so it was fine. I was looking for a low carb option which is always hard at a Mexican restaurant, especially during the Lettuce Epidemic where I don't feel safe eating a salad ANYWHERE. I decided to order the chicken fajitas. They come with tortillas, rice, beans, and a small "salad" (lettuce, tomato, sour cream), which I did not eat but luckily had some kids with us that previously only ordered churros and queso (LOL) so they were able to eat that for me. The fajitas were REALLY hot and really good. Excellent flavor and excellent portion size. Even without eating any of the items it came with, I was full just eating the chicken, peppers, and onions. My friend got the lunch chimichanga which seemed a little small but it also came with rice and beans. The girls LOVED their churros and queso (which I also ate with my chicken...a little thick but better than too thin!!!) Our waitress was very helpful and attentive. This place is in the old Nosh if that's helpful to anyone. There was plenty of parking right outside the restaurant today, but there is also a parking deck on days when it's packed. The ambiance...was a bit plain but I'm not sure how long they've been open...maybe they'll add to it? This is probably more of a 3.5 star review. I rounded up since nothing bad happened but I'm not sure I'll be back since I have Mexican restaurants I like better.

Credit to the staff, they handled us well and they stayed in control. There were a few moments when they mixed up who was getting which food item, but that is understandable. I ordered the carne asada. It came with the standard yellow rice, typical mashed pinto beans with the white cheesy circle in the middle, the usual thin meat...so thin it could have come off a deli slicer. The plate also had a thick tomato slice, half an avocado sliced, and grilled onions. They added nice color and flavor to the dish. The meat was ok, but not great. It was so thin, that they didn't rally have to ask me how I wanted the steak prepared. Of course, we got chips and salsa. I like that they put the salsa in small pouring jars as opposed to having several bowls of it. But I didn't really care for the salsa, it was too mild, almost even sweet.' It's an ok place, but just your standard mid-level Mexican restaurant.
