This is hands down THE BEST TACOS North Carolina has to offer.
I have dined here twice and each time was the best food I've eaten at a Hispanic restaurant. My first time dining here was for lunch. I was greeted by the hostess, who sat me down immediately (just a tip, lunch time you'll get a seat but if you're coming for dinner I would get a reservation because this place gets packed!)
It is beautiful and bright when that natural sunlight hit the inside of the restaurant. It has a very large bar and believe me the drinks are even better. They even have a seating section outside that's covered. So spring and summer, the outside seating definitely the place to be for those selfies!
For drinks, I got the virgin Mangonada. It is $40 but by God is it worth it! It was amazing, and looked just like the picture! You're giving a little tower of homemade chips and salsa.
For appetizers I got the chicken rolls and chori-queso. I was honestly full after eating those two but who can stop when the food is so good? There were hefty portions of the chicken rolls, and it came beautifully plated. I could literally eat that queso with everything and buy the spoonfuls. You must get this queso when you come here!
I ordered the Birria tacos, and my friend got the taco sampler. To be quite honest, I was really full from the appetizers, however, that Birria taco was amazing! And those tacos, samplers came out, sizzling and hot!
My second time dining, I opted for the queso again, and this time I got the Pastor Tacos. You get three tacos and it was the most perfect season taco Pastore I've ever had. And for them to pair it with that pickled onions *chefs kiss. It also comes with a little bowl of rice and beans. I looked and they had the rice and beans separate because some people don't like for their food to touch. And this came with black beans and they were really season. You can eat these by themselves if you're vegetarian. The rice was nice and fluffy and also perfectly season For my drink, I got a virgin Mojito and the waiter was advised of my fruit allergy and make sure my drink was made perfect.
Service was amazing and this will be my go to restaurant for every time I come to Durham.
