Virgil's Cocktails and Cocina

Nothing to rave about at this place honestly. Originally went with a group of friends and my child to the Merchant which is upstairs before 8pm but they said they are 21+ only all day. But Virgil's said we could eat there so we did just to pass time while the rest of the friends went upstairs to eat & drink and use their Offline codes. But we ended up ordering the Chicken Tinga & Al Pastor tacos, the queso and the cilantro lime rice. Nothing had a memorable flavor to it. My child liked the chicken tinga though and he's a pretty harsh, miniature critic.

Had a chance to check out this spot this past week. Had to make a reservation ahead of time. I got chips and guac for the table and that was probably my favorite dish. The chips were definitely my favorite with each chip being a fried tortilla. The guac was also great and fresh. The fried avocado tacos I got were not good. There was no flavor with the tacos and had to use a lot of hot sauce to get any flavor with these. The drinks were also nothing special and seemed rather lacking. I will say this was based on the physical menu. It seems like there is a menu online which had more options so not sure exactly how that worked.The vibes inside were great with good music as well. The staff was helpful and everything was very speedy. The prices were definitely on the higher end and may not be able to justify some of the dishes based on the cost. Overall, I think this place is okay. I really wish the tacos were more flavorful but would consider coming back to try some of their other dishes.

Such a fun place to go. Bring back the gnocchi! The food was good. The drinks are better.

Best Mexican in RTP. Best in Raleigh, Cary, and more. They serve nopales tacos -- Yummy!!!! Worth a special order. And their barbacoa is Devine. All is sooo sooo good! Only issue is... if you sit inside, it's like a night club... dark, and loud club music. Too bad they don't turn music down during dinner hours and let us have a chat. And turn music up starting at 10pm for those of us who love really good Mexican. Authentic food. Good like Mexico City and heart of Los Angeles... so good! Everyone should go at least once. It will change your perspective of what Mexican is in North Carolina to what it should be. Enjoy! Enjoy!!!

The service was terrible. The margaritas are to be laughed at for being so tiny, not yummy and over priced. The salsa is gross and they charge you $7 for chips and salsa...I don't think the dumb a$$ owner realizes what a good Mexican restaurant is, and I hate to be the one to break it to him, but yours ain't it. It was an absolutely terrible dining experience. Overall, it gets a flat 0 but I HAVE to give it at least 1 star...

I get it... Tuesday after Labor Day and we are all exhausted. However, I am a tad disappointed on my first visit to this spot that I eagerly anticipated becoming a new favorite. Pastor Taco's pork was hammered and left no desire to even finish the second...the Caesar was not only over dressed but so salty I could not even eat it and quickly sent it back. Shrimp dish stuck with the theme...what I thought might be a smoky flavor was actually burned and over cooked as well. Maybe it's the cocktails that earned the higher reviews? I ultimately had to ask that the inedible salad be taken off my bill and had to wait longer than reasonable for my server to return with an adjusted check. Stick with Centro if downtown craving Mexican cuisine or he'll even Bar Taco in Midtown or one of the many amazing food trucks around town but NOT THIS...

Came here a few weekends ago with a couple of friends. I only came for drinks because I had a dinner date. The drinks were delicious and I had the corn appetizer which was delicious! I didn't personally have the entrees but my friends said they were mediocre compared to the appetizers and drinks.

I truly loved this place. The tapas menu was so much fun to share and great portions to Weber's you could try so many things for a great price. The ambiance was so much fun too!

Get ready for your new obsession. Spooky good libations are served up here. Yum. {(*.*)}

Came for a date night, interior is gorgeous however super dark. Food tasted good but don't bother getting the lamb, you'll spend a lot to get something the size of your pinky.
