Toros Tacos Y Tequila

★★★★☆ 4.3 (43)

"We had a lovely dinner here! We ordered a taco bowl, shrimp tacos, ACP, steak tacos and chipotle fries. The shrimp tacos were a bit too spicy for me, but my hubby loved them. Mexican corn was sooooo good. Our food was served very fast! All good was very good and tasted fresh. We also ordered two beers and two mixed drinks - everything was delicious! $40 for booze, pricey but the mixed drinks were very good and not watered down. Lots of parking and the employees were all so friendly and cheerful. Three different employees came by our table to check on us during our meal. Ambiance is casual and very inviting, decor is nice, ladies room was spotless. The outdoor patio will be where sit next time! Side note - by the time we left, this place was hopping!"

City Bus

★★★★☆ 4.1 (32)

"Y'all ain't even know how much money I've spent on the #5 breakfast burrito at City Bus (currently known as Taco King USA , until he gets his other bus fixed up). The location is in the parking lot right in front of Carolina Detail place. Mac or Emilio, the owner of the bus handles the monetary transactions while his wife does the cooking. He sells a variety of tacos, burritos, tortas, drinks, etc.I cannot talk enough about the #5 breakfast burrito which contains chorizo (Mexican sausage), bacon, eggs , rice , and beans. Get that green sauce too. Ughh. PS. He is consistently closed on Mondays, but is typically there everyday from 8PM-2AM (even though his hours state otherwise). He is sometimes closed on certain days when he has catering events, although there is no social media coverage when he's not gonna be there . I'm still addicted to his food though. Gah these burritos smack."

"Solid Mexican in Holly Springs. Entrees we're fresh and beans in particular were really good. Salsa also fresh and flavorful. Deep fried avocado a nice surprise, though not sure the corn salsa was necessary. Friendly service and atmosphere."

"What an amazing spot! If you're ever in Goldsboro NC and have no plans Come watch the bartenders make the most Badass drinks ever ! This is coming from someone who has been to bars around the world ! Do you know it's going to be a good drink When they use a measuring cup and not a shot glass to measure the liquorDecor inside is great ! Little I collect it but awesomeAs far as the food goes just looking at the menu will make you more hungry when the food is presented to you it looks just like the pictures on the menu I ordered the Al Pastor quesadilla I could only eat one quarter of it there was so much.Everybody in the group was amazed by the quality of the food. when you have a group of more than six people and nobody complains about anything that speaks volumes."

San Jose Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (123) • $$

"We were seated immediately on a Saturday night in a cozy booth. Chips and salsa were brought quickly. Fresh, tomatoey salsa. We both ordered the Enchiladas Nortenas: Three corn tortillas, one filled with chicken topped with spinach sauce, one filled with shredded pork topped with chipotle sauce and one filled with potato and home made chorizo topped with cheese sauce, served with a side of rice and beans. The enchiladas were absolutely delicious. We did notice they mixed up the sauces that went on each enchilada but we didn't care -- it all goes in the same place. Overall a delicious meal with great service."

Meat & Bite

""Tasty sandwiches and wraps right off NCSU's campus"Right on Hillsborough Road right across from campus is this hole-in-the-wall option. We came here on a Thursday evening around 6pm... a good number of people were there. I ordered the Chicken Tawouk wrap (combo option, so with fries and bottle drink), and the rest of my party had sandwiches or chicken strips. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. There are a few outdoor tables as well, and we grabbed one of those.The food came out in about 10 minutes or so. My wrap was DELICIOUS-- I loved the combination of flavors. Really tasty, though a bit messy to eat since it dripped a lot. The fries were fine -- nothing to write home about. The rest of my party loved their food too.The service was EXCELLENT. Very friendly. Even though we sat outside, they checked on us multiple times, and even brought us some complementary bits (including extra water bottles since it was hot outside).The price is not unreasonable-- not a cheap place but fine for being right by campus on a busy street and fair for the quality we got.Overall, I'd come back. Good food at decent price."

Mariscos Muelle De San Blas

★★★★☆ 3.5 (21)

"This place is so pretty inside! Such a large space and the food is so good!We went for lunch and found it to be nearly empty, and I can't understand why folks are sleeping on this place. The food is fantastic. The menu is in both English and Spanish.I ordered Langostinos which were so incredible and you don't EVER see those on menus. It was pricey for lunch but so good. My friend got tacos and those were reasonably priced. Just be sure to ask if the price is a concern. I just saw the picture and didn't investigate further.We ordered desserts and really enjoyed the churros. Freshly made and served with a yummy dipping sauce. Parking is ample and the service was also fantastic. Cocktails are available and freshly made. Get over here!"

Salt & Lime Cabo Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (1402) • $$

"We grabbed drinks at The Winchester then headed over here for dinner. It was packed but we grabbed seats at the bar. We started off with a round of drinks and the baja trio. We chose the house salsa, queso and fire-roasted tomato & goat cheese guacamole and for my drink it was the El Jefe margarita. For our entrees it was the island shrimp tacos for my friend, the fire-roasted chile relleno for my husband and the key-lime mahi mahi for me. The food, drinks and service were all good. This place does fill up so get there early if you do not want to wait."

San Marcos Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (145) • $$

"My wife and I came here for lunch a few Sundays ago. This is one of our "go to" spots in Burlington. This time I tried some new things and not "the usuals"Wow! I'm glad I did. I tried the Chile toreado appetizer. Jalapeño grilled with onions lime juice and salt. It has heat (if you like it a little milder then remove the seeds). This was amazing!I was in the mood for steak so I had the carne en su jugo. It's strips of bottom round steak cooked in a green Chile enchilada sauce with other veggies. I highly recommend trying some of a the traditional Mexican food on the menu. I don't think you'll be disappointed."

Mi Cancun Taqueria

★★★★★ 4.6 (16)

"This spot is small and is located in a strip mall in Apex. My mom and I stopped in for lunch and had an okay experience. We started off with a round of beers and chips with queso and salsa. Next my mom ordered one of the combination meals and I ordered two tacos and the elote. The service was good but the food was just okay and it was expensive for what it was."

Bull City Solera and Taproom

★★★★☆ 4.3 (35)

"I only visited once before deciding to host my leaving-Durham going away party here, because of their creative burrito menu, expansive and comfortable deck, and friendly but casual service!All the employees were cool with 13 people showing up unannounced, staying for 3 hours, and playing a loud raucous game of Telephone Pictionary along the edge of the outdoor deck. They even helped facilitate a surprise cake and provided the knife and plates!I appreciate the burrito menu, its rotating vegan options, and the fact that it has such ingredients as cherry-soda braised pork (melt-in-your-mouth), fried squid (always tender, accompanied by oft-scorching peppers), collard greens and bacon marmalade, and fried broccoli. Not everything is a hit all the time, but it is more often than not, and in my opinion it's better to take risks than to stay boring. (But if you want to stay boring, they have a basic burrito too, which I have heard tell is not actually boring at all.)I love their 'Phoebe' chocolate caramel shake, too. Really caramelly!"

Salt & Lime Cabo Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (76) • $$

"We grabbed drinks at House of Hops then headed over here for dinner. I started off with a beer and we split the queso dip and pico de gallo salsa. For our entrees it was the salmon tacos and a side of fried plantains for my husband and the key-lime mahi mahi and an El Jefe margarita for me. The food, drinks and service were all good. This place does fill up so get there early if you do not want to wait."

Mezcalito

★★★★☆ 3.8 (168)

"Went with a group of 12 so that usually means slower service but not here. The service was excellent as was the presentation but the food was just ok. I got the steak fajitas and I didn't enjoy the flavor of the steak or the refried beans BUT I tasted my sister's octopus dish and it was cooked to perfection. We also had appetizers and they were quite good. I guess try things til you find one you like. I would recommend you try for yourself"

Cosmic Cantina

"I've heard good things about this place and was excited to try it. I got the chicken burrito which was a good size and also had some chips and salsa on the side which was nice. The burrito was a normal version (there was a larger burrito with extra toppings) but was flavorful and tasty. The chips were crisp and the salsa was fresh. The service took a bit but they were really busy so it made sense. I would go back if in the area again!"

Mezcalito - Durham

★★★★☆ 4.2 (315) • $$

"I had been following Mezcalito on social media for a while and drooling over their gorgeous and elaborate cocktails, namely margaritas - my favorite! When a friend recommended it, I decided to go for dinner before a show at DPAC.I was a little worried about getting a table due to it being Friday night and its close proximity to the Durham Preforming Arts Center. This place is HUGE! We didn't have any wait for a table around 5:45. We were seated outside in the covered/heated patio. There is a bar out there, so I wouldn't say it's a true patio, but it fits the patio vibes. I really liked this area, but my only complaint was it was SO loud, like hard to hear the server and people at your table over the music. Speaking of server, ours was Pablo and he was GREAT! I know sometimes it can be hard to be extremely present on a patio, as the servers have to run to the bar, kitchen, and back to the patio, but Pablo did an awesome job. He was very personable and he went over the specials with us. He sold me on their Margarita flight which they had a new featured Margarita they called the Barbie. First of all, I love a flight of everything! It's so fun to sample, and the presentation on these drinks was completely Instagrammable. The fruit that was used to garnish was neatly cut and placed, and it was very fresh. They were fairly sweet, but they still packed a punch! They have so many fun flavors and options. I really enjoyed this, I can't wait to go back and try more!We ordered the chicken rolls as an appetizer and I really enjoyed these! 6 sizable rolls, this dish is perfect for sharing. The chicken was flavorful, the tortillas were perfectly crispy and the sauce was delightful! Chips and salsa were really fresh as well.I got the Tiras de carne as my entree. It was listed on the menu as Tiras de pollo, but they happily subbed the chicken for steak. This was DECADENT! The steak was nicely charred and paired with a chipotle sauce sent straight from sauce heaven. This came with rice and beans and tortillas - they have flour and corn, I chose corn! All food and drinks came out in a very timely manner with excellent presentation and temperature appropriate. Everything so so efficient and smooth, especially for such a huge place with a lot of moving parts. Portions were sizable and the drinks are so fun and delicious. .6 miles from DPAC!"

Torchy's Tacos

"You know, I've had a lot of tacos in my lifetime, and these were some of the better ones. I ordered a few different tacos and they were all great! But what stood out were the tortillas. The texture and flavor was spot on. And it just made the whole taco incredibly enjoyable. I'll be coming back!"

Armadillo Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (153) • $

"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."

Cantina 18

★★★★☆ 3.6 (316)

"We stopped in for dinner with friends and had a fun time. I started off with a beer followed by the top shelf margarita. Our table started off with a few small orders of guacamole, we tried the goat cheese, pineapple-habanero and cantina 18. The pineapple-habanero was my favorite. For our meals it was the veggie burrito with black beans for my husband and the she crab soup and a spicy braised short rib taco with black beans for me. The soup is on a special limited menu that features a few of the favorite dishes that were served at 18 Seaboard. We both enjoyed our food and drinks. This is a good dining option in The Village District."
