Ex-Voto

Ex-VotoWe decided to go to the Durham Farmer's Market saturday morning (my favorite farmer's market around this area!), which is right by the Durham Food Hall. We were so excited to try the "infamous 1 pound" crunchwraps from Ex-Voto, which is inside the Durham Food Hall. The service was prompt - We waited only about 10 minutes and our name was announced over their speaker. The actual food stand was adorable and had some fun decorations!We got there right at 10am when they open on Saturdays and ordered at the counter. I got the chorizo crunchwrap, my husband got the beef barbacoa crunchwrap, and sides of fire-roasted salsa, chipotle sour cream, and house hot sauce. The chorizo crunchwrap was beautifully greasy and spicy (as you'd expect and hope for with chorizo ) and the chipotle sour cream added that creaminess and helped cool off the spice. The beef barbacoa crunchwrap was less spicy - the barbacoa was so juicy and the pickled onions here added a lovely acidity and sweetness. We added some house hot sauce and chipotle sour cream to this which added that creaminess and spiciness. These crunchwraps are famous for a reason! We will definitely be back for more.*Chorizo Crunchwrap: spiced pork sausage, queso dip, pickled jalapeños, pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, & chipotle crema; sealed w/ grilled hoop cheese*Beef Barbacoa Crunchwrap: braised beef, queso dip, pickled jalapeños and onions, pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, & avocado salsa; sealed w/ grilled hoop cheese*Fire-Roasted Salsa*House Hot Sauce*Chipotle Sour Cream

We got the holy trinity (queso, guac and salsa) for $20. It came with two bags of chips and three large containers. The queso was fabulous. the guacamole needed something like lime/salt- it wasn't like horrible but it was quite mediocre. The salsa on the other hand just tasted like chunky water. absolutely no flavor whatsoever. i wish they had an option for smaller portions as well especially due to the price. it came out really quickly which was a plus. Don't waste your money on anything other than the queso.

We were in Durham for the day and decided to visit the Durham Food Hall since there was a lot a variety and let's be honest, who doesn't love a food hall? The vibe alone is worth it!After perusing all the choices, we happily settled on Ex-Voto after having checked out their menu. And I'm so glad that we did! The service was top notch and I couldn't pass up a crunchwrap! They had me at cheesy crust and this pocket of joy was amazing!! The beef was cooked perfectly and it hit every possible craving you ever had. Their green salsa was out of this world too! And I sopped up my crunch wrap in it too! Can't wait to visit again!

My friend and I visited Durham food hall on a weekday evening. The ambiance was very dim and empty inside the hall. There weren't many customers when we arrived, but we were luckily able to order right away. I ordered the beef barbacoa Crunchwrap which was delicious! I loved the crusted cheese on the outside and the strong flavors of the wrap. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be back.

Great choice in food hall in Durham ! My husband got a bowl. He said it was super fresh, and delicious. A little bit of a wait- but it was a weekend at lunchtime! Love that they give you real silverware and glasses to drink from. Classy food hall!!

Crunchwrap supreme but BETTER. Ex-Voto made all my Crunchwrap dreams come true with this one. I'd heard great things but finally got the chance to try it myself when we visited the Durham Food Hall. They have various flavors and ingredients but I went with their classic which had spicy chorizo, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and their homemade sauce all wrap up in a tortilla, grilled on the flattop and topped with crispy crunchy melty cheese. This was their mini version which was perfect for a quick snack. Their large version is a behemoth and both are such a great value for the price! The owners are creative and kind so you feel great supporting such a neat small business!

Went to Ex Voto for a late lunch today and from the experience I had about a year ago to today a lot has changed and not in a good way. First, the service was very lackluster with the staff not being very warming and kind. I asked about their tacos, as they were around a year ago, but unfortunately I was told with a little jab that they are no longer on the menu. So, I decided after reviewing their menu to get the seven layer bowl. The bowl comes with a heaping amount of rice, beans, guacamole, Pico de gallo, and cheese--wow, so much food! Unfortunately the quality just was not there. It had an odd after taste that I did not enjoy and it was a little on the salty side. I couldn't finish my food and after spending $17 it made me very sad that I will now have to spend more money to get full.Three stars for the amount of food you receive for what you pay. You definitely get two or three meals out of your leftovers. But, the quality is not there. Also, they put an automatic charge for a living wage for their staff, which I found to be awesome!

Great Crunchwrap! Filled generously with all the toppings. It does get messy while eating, but overall a very satisfying meal. Hot sauce was nothing special.

Amazing food and portion sizes! I've had their burrito, burrito bowl, and pork belly crunch wrap, and I have been more than satisfied each time. The sauces they put on are great, but be prepared for some to leak out as you eat the crunch wrap. And as long as you're not starving the burrito bowl could go for at least 1.5 meals.Would always come back!

Holy smokes! I wish I could curse on here because it's the only way I can truly express how delicious this place is! I dare you to finish a Crunchwrap in one sitting. They're HUGE! I barely can and I'm very fat. The staff is friendly and eager to help and service is fast. Bonus: they validate parking.
