    Birria Tacos & Raspberry Margarita
    Mary W.

    I really enjoyed this place! I thought the food was very good and was surprised as reviews (on Yelp) aren't all that impressive. I also thought it was going to be more of a hole in the wall judging from the outside but it's super nice (and big!) inside. Parking was easy, it's located in Carrboro Plaza so plenty of spaces. Our waiters were great, attentive and friendly. The menu prices are definitely more expensive than your typical casual Mexican restaurant, although being that it's located to Chapel Hill this may be on par (I'm not a CH local). We came in for a late lunch on Sunday afternoon and were sat immediately. There's tons of tables and the bar is huge. My friend got the Birria Tacos and a Raspberry Marg. She loved them! A great first birria experience for her. I got the Enchiladas Sampler which was so, so good. Again, was pleasantly surprised. It's a shredded chicken enchilada covered with mole sauce, shredded beef enchilada with ranchera sauce, and spinach enchilada with salsa verde. Everything was really fresh and hot. The salsa is spicy (but not too spicy) and flavorful. I probably wouldn't drive way out of my way to go, but I'll definitely be back here! I like that it's close enough to the university (I work there) for convenience/lunch, but far enough out of the way to miss the constant crowds and traffic. A solid option for Mexican food in the area, for sure!

    Ordered To Go on Saturday night and had a great experience - pickup was fast and the server handling orders was very courteous & quick! Inside is spacious and really well decorated. I got the bean dip and Yolanda enchiladas - portions were giant and everything was well made. Tortillas were nice, thin + tender. I only wish there was a bit more mole on the enchiladas!

    The food here is great. They were decently busy for lunch. We got here about 12:30-1:00. Music is pretty loud and dim lighting but it is a nice atmosphere. We got a table right away, chips and salsa as soon as we sat down. They had drink menu and lunch menu as well as a normal menu. Everyone really enjoyed the food. You get a lot of food so don't be scared if you see prices ranging up to about $20 for a meal, you will get a lot! Our server was very friendly and constantly kept the chips and salsa full and the drinks topped off. I highly recommend this place if you are close to chapel hill or Carrboro!

    A regular spot for us. Margaritas are on the sweeter side but they're fun and big. They have the best ACP which is essentially ordered on every visit for us. Also great salsa. Fast, hot, fresh, and consistent.

    We enjoy going here, but it depends on the location for the type of service you get. The one in Carrboro is great Chapel Hill not so much.

    A bit late on my review since I came here for Mother's Day lunch, but nonetheless, I wanted to…read morereview because the food was delicious. I started with a mango fruity drink. It had a name written on a board outside, and I wish I could remember because I would order it again. Then I tried the Pulpo Al Pastor Taco (they had me at octopus). It came with 2 tacos and a side of maduros aka yellow fried plantains. It did catch me by surprise when the maduros came with a crema on top. I've never had it like that and to my surprise it was good. Also, the Quesadilla Fajita which comes with a side of yellow rice. Food was sooo good. It was very busy this day but service was phenomenal. There's an indoor seating area with a bar but we sat outdoors and enjoyed the beautiful day. Definitely will be back.

    Excellent Oaxacan food! Starting off with the chips and salsa, it was very fresh and the chips were…read morenice and crispy. I had the tlayuda, which initially was a bit too hard to eat, but when I reheated it, it softened the tortilla and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also got the less traditional Crunchwrap with chicken, and that was superb. I picked up my food to-go, so I can't speak much to the ambiance. However, with regard to the service, they began making the food when we came to pick it up (when it should have been ready 25 min earlier). At least it was fresh? But it sucked to have to wait 20 more minutes to be ready when we had ordered it to go. Docking a star for the wait time for a pick up order, but maybe I would feel differently had I eaten there in person.
