A great place for a casual, quick lunch. Nachos are great and plenty for two or even three. I had a bowl of chili as well which is packed with meat. Not your typically chili. There almost so much meat in this chili you need a knife to cut it. It wasn't to spicy but had alot of flavor and was well seasoned. Definitely a hefty meal.The downside was the size of the salsa they sold. They offer a $.35 option which is about 2 ounces of sals or a larger service for ~$3.50 but it about a pint of salsa. Nothing in between. I started with the small and then after two chips worth of salsa went for the larger option. The salsa was very good and not spicy at all.

I've passed Armadillo Grill many times as there are so many good places to grab lunch in the area. I didn't realize this is a quick service style place, which serves me well on this day that I actually didn't have much time for a full sit down meal, and I hey, I'll spend less right? Wrong.I found the cashier helpful and nice enough. There was no line so I told her I'd never been there. She enthusiastically suggested a burrito bowl with a side of tortillas; sounds good. Naming off ingredients, I'm thinking this is like Moe's where you decide if you want onion, salsas, sour cream etc (we all know guacamole costs extra). As she rings me up I'm noticing the small charges for just about each ingredient. I can't say I'm a penny pincher but it adds up. I spent $22 on a burrito bowl and a soda. The sour cream was a tube handed to me with the bowl. I suppose the bowl was shareable so maybe I should've just ordered a taco. Ok fine, lesson learned. Sitting down I notice the dining area is not very clean. Kind of sticky and a few used napkins on the floor. The food was just ok. The steak was definitely tasty, but the rest tastes like I could've made this at home. I just don't feel any pull to return. There is an upstairs area and a patio so that's nice. I was fed. This reads like a two star review but I like the location and the nice cashier earned it three.

Not very good quality offerings that are made with casual attention to providing food that looks and tastes good.

This place has been around for ages and we popped in recently for lunch during the holidays. You fill out an order form in line, hand it to the cashier, pay, and then then wait for your food. While the food was good, the wait time was a lot longer than we expected. The line to order was short, and the downstairs tables were not filled, leading us to expect a relatively short wait for our food. However, we went to the upstairs area and found lots of full tables waiting for their orders. I get it, they might have been shortstaffed, but it was still a really long wait. Our bean burrito and veggie enchilada plate were decent but our overall experience was still marred by the long wait time.

We have been coming to Armadillo grill in Carrboro for 25 years. Tonight hit an all time low. Rude staff (esp Sarah who shouldn't be in the service industry as she rolled her eyes as we placed our order), terrible food and the worst atmosphere ---they turned the lights out on us during our meal 15 min before closing (8:45pm) b/c they were in a hurry to leave and were frantically closing up the place - on a Saturday night at 8:45! I could go on and on but I'll leave it there. This place needs a serous help! Consider yourself warned-

Looks cool. Funky artwork, generally has a crowd, but it's SUPER-SUPER...average. Really bland, hyper-basic. No hot sauces. No forks. No flavor. If you've ever had good tacos or burritos, and you're looking for that, this ain't the place.

Armadillo Grill has a flavor uniquely it's own. Would you would find their food at a taco truck or at your local tienda? No. However, you don't come here for that. It was my place in college and remains the exact same flavor profile from years ago. The nostalgia gets me every time. The prices continue to increase compared to my college years but so goes inflation. Note the tortillas, queso and steak are my favorites.

Food was very flavorful! Steak taco was superb - so much flavor and nicely seasoned with great tortilla. Enchiladas were also flavorful. Queso was pretty good, but I wanted it to be warmer and creamier than it was. Guacamole is pretty average. Their chips are thin and texturally satisfying to eat. We will definitely be going back.

Will never return. Everything is charge extra extra extra. And told because of Covid. Maybe all the extra charges is why the place is empty more these days than it used to be. Circling the drain. Just lost another longtime customer.

Really bad food, brown guacamole, runny quesco, said best soft tacos but lacking any flavor. Fountain drinks weren't even good.
