I happened to stumble upon it when down there for work one time and now I stop in every time I go to Angier. They make their own tortillas here and sell them as well as their own tortilla chips and freshly made salsas. The tamales here are the best I've ever had. I'm a huge fan of the pollo (chicken) ones which are made with a spicy verde sauce. They're sooo good. I also love their puerco (pork) tamales. I always grab a container or two of their salsas and some of their tortilla chips. The salsas go really well on top of the tamales too. I often buy extra tamales to freeze and eat later too.

I went yesterday and ordered a large Baja blast and I never got my cup, when I asked a worker for it she said a large cup is an up charge and I can only get a medium, I said I already paid for a large cup and I showed her my ticket and she said it's for a large Baja blast, when I said yes, I never got the cup for it, she slammed it on the counter and rolled her eyes at me!

A true GEM in the area! Food is prepared FRESH daily and assembled as you order it! The owner/chef makes a Torta which is a mexican style sandwich with your choice of meat - chirizo (my fav) al pastor (hubbies fav) and about 5 other meats to choose from. Then the light, fluffy bread/roll is schmeared with beans and topped with lettuce, tomato, jalapenos, onion, mayo, and avacados. and the other side of the roll is the cheese, BUT she puts it right on the flat top grill to get the cheese all browned and crusty-melty! I am in heaven each time I bite into that sandwich! The tacos are awesome as is the MOLE (special on certain days) and SOPES!!!!! I have really enjoyed everything! Cool menu with things I've never seen any other places, like tlayudas, a chewy crunchy delicious adventure! The owners have done an amazing job with this little place over the years. Constantly upgrading as they go. If you are anywhere near Lillington, GO! It's right across the dtreet from Burger King with a beautiful little outdoor eating area. If there are a bunch of peolple it's WORTH the wait (should only be 15 minutes tops, which I don't consider a long wait for perfection). ENJOY! read more

I always get the best lengua tacos from the state, delicious very tender and non greasy which i am too tired to always get from always mexican restaurants, i wish they had a bigger place to bring my family, but i come just for the good food. it is great to have a place that know that they do know what they are cooking which is a a constant lack on the Mexican places in triangle, i would invite to anyone to try and compare their delicious meats versus the unflavored grassy meats one usually gets everywhere. read more

I am from Mexico city and i live in Raleigh, i never though that i wiould have tacos as the taquerias in Mexico, but i discover oaxaca just for causality and i got impressive for the flavor on its tacos and salsas (red, green and guacamole salsa) specially for the al pastor, carne asada (bistec), chorizo, carnitas and chicharron, they have the same flavor as the taquerias in mexico, so if have you been in mexico you will know what i am talking about! read more

This is the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to, period. The service, the salsa, the atmosphere, the incredible seafood tacos, the churros. I can't believe it exists, and in Lillington of all places. I've been all over the country, and eaten a lot of tacos, from Cali to Texas to damn Providence, but this place... I'm telling you. So damn good. read more

I ordered the torta de milanesa.. thinking they only had the steak milanesa like the taquerias usually do, since this is not a "usual" item at a restaurant but i was craving one so bad so i gave it a shot.. we'll no. They had options and the waitress chose the chicken one for me instead of ask me to confirm. Menu stated you could choose a torta de milanesa, asada, pollo, and something else i forgot last option... not milanesa de bistec o milanesa de pollo (more discriptive or easy to follow). Taste was ok but not what I wanted. Also this plate comes with fries on side but they were out of them and gave the option to choose rice, beans, or salad so I chose salad to go with my sandwich.. food came out and half of salad had brown lettuce.. was not fresh. Also, entire time that we were eating our meal, the staff was arguing back and forth and just being loud cutting up at a booth in the back. I didnt think it was very professional. Wish the staff was more professional, more communicative with the customer while ordering so everyone was on same page, and more attentive to customers and proud and happy to be working here. I had to wave someone over to request napkins. We did still pay for our meals but I let the owner know my concerns. Lastly, Drinks are $5 and have to pay for refills. Wish the waitress wouldve mentioned this at the beginning of ordering drinks instead of when the refill was needed... This blew my mind. This was my first time here, and dnt think I will return. All in all, tips i would recommend for this restaurant. -have staff be more professional and attentive when customers are present -have wait staff explain everything up front like the no refill on the drinks -have wait staff make sure order is correct and not ASSUME customers order or choose for them -do not serve brown old lettuce -remake menus
