Los Cuates

Reminded me of my days living in coastal San Diego, only had breakfast burritos there but looking forward to coming back for lunch.

Amazing food, been craving those carne asada fries from cali. Saw they had them and brought my own hot Cheetos to make it a real cali plate!

As former CA residents craving carne asada fries it hit the spot . We are definitely coming back again we give it a 4.7 . I also got rolled tacos and it tasted fresh . We got the "super fries" .

This place has a lot of potential. However, the quality of food and service I got depended on who was working. When only the guys were there, the food was great and so is the customer service. When the girls are working with them, or when only the girls were there, there was always something wrong with my order. One time I had hair in my food and another time it was a couple of eyelashes. One girl would up-charge me for two separate sides of rice and beans, but the guys would automatically charge me the price for rice and beans together. The first time she did this, I knew the price was more expensive, but I didn't check the receipt until I got home. The next time she was working, she did the same thing and I had to ask her to change the order to include the rice and beans together in one box. I could tell it rubbed her the wrong way, but I wasn't rude about it. The next time I came back, girls weren't there and my food was right. I went back another time and she happened to be working. I always order carne asada tacos and/or birria tacos. I ordered two carne asada tacos and she gave me chicken instead. It's such a shame because this place could really be a Raleigh staple. But the inconsistency is apparent. This place is amazing when it's great, but horrible when it's bad. I used to go here maybe 10 times for the past two years and then about 10 times a month more recently when I didn't have access to a kitchen. I never returned back after the chicken instead of steak incident a few months ago. I raved about this place on TikTok, but soon took down the video after all these events. It has hit or miss food and it's definitely not the only taco spot in Raleigh. I think it's popular because it's really convenient and has a drive thru. However, if you're able and willing to go to a different place (walk in/food truck walk up), consider doing that instead of taking your chances here.

Yum! I really like this place. They serve Mexican food that reminds me of street food in Los Angeles, CA. I come here a few times a month and get their enchiladas, hard tacos, rolled tacos (taquitos), and churros. They are open late which is a plus and the food is made to order. I also like the fact that they hire young people. I will continue to come here and also bring my family along as well when they visit. The only downside is that they don't put enough meat in their tamales. About 80% of the tamales is masa.

Ok. You got to go here. Food was great. They have a drive thru and it's only drive thru for now. COVID rules. We got tacos and fajitas. Lots of food when you get the fajitas. Try it out.

Overall pretty good...Started rough- ordered online and the lobby was closed. didn't realize it was a drive thru or I would've gotten it fresh because my tacos were suppppper soggy. I ordered about an hour ahead but it was clearly done well before. The reason for 3, not 2, stars were the TACOS. Sooooo good. I got the shrimp tacos and street taco with carnitas. They were both awesome! Shrimp was quite spicy, but really delicious. The street taco was also yummy. My grilled onions barely hit a grill, but still very good.The guacamole was also good, though my container wasn't near full and my chips tasted like verrrry old fryer oil. Next time I'll get just tacos. They didn't have the tamarind soda, which was why I ordered it. They subbed pineapple, but I would've preferred a refund on it.I also got mystery sauces(likely complimentary but not labeled) the green one hit the back of my tongue and tasted like pickled jalapeños. Good if you like that... I wasn't a great fan. The red was delicious but hit the front of the tongue and was not doable for more than a bite.

8 shrimp in 1 big quesadilla for $12. Then they try to cover it up with cheese. Then the food was bland and had no flavor.

I've been eating from los cuates since I was 8yrs old, I am now 26. With that being said, since day one I've appreciated the Cali style food, from the sopes, tacos, platillos and burritos. The service can tend to be a bit slower then an ordinary drive thru since it's not a fast food place but it's totally worth the wait.

I absolutely love Mexican food and eat it at least once a week. This food was absolutely disgusting. I ordered the ACP and I literally couldn't eat it because it tasted so bad. The chicken didn't even look like chicken. I will never ever visit this place again, and I hate that I wasted my money and was unable to eat my dinner.
