Raleigh CitizenJune 29, 2013The house margarita, chicken enchiladas con mole with beans and rice, and flan de coco were all very good. If you want great Mexican in North Raleigh, it's Gonza's or Dos Taquitos. Highly recommended. Read more
Brad HagerJune 23, 2022Some of the best tacos I’ve had. GREAT ambiance, decor. Ask for the meat lovers tacos (off the menu) 😍 Wait staff is very attentive, efficient. Watermelon margarita are delicious. HIGHLY recommend
Erin GannonAugust 18, 2013Best Mexican food I've found in Raleigh! Great margaritas and the carne tacos topped with a slice of avocado were delicioso. Funky decor and loud music made for a fun Friday night ~ we'll be back!
Michael HuberFebruary 8, 2015Great gluten free menu options. Corn tortilla for the meals and corn chips for salsa and gaucamole. Now the chips are fried in the same fryers as everything. So not 100% free from cross.
KylieSeptember 19, 2014Super funky and eclectic, authentic Mexican place hidden in a strip mall - gotta love suburbia! Start with queso, it's the only way.
Wendi LassiterSeptember 25, 2013I love this place. The food is fantastic. The service is good. The atmosphere is unmatched. Put this on your to do list.- Tracy LoweJanuary 25, 2015Very crowded so go early or late. Everything very good! You cannot go wrong and they have the best top shelf margaritas.
Dipti MahendranOctober 6, 2013Spicy pepino is a refreshing drink with a slight kick! Loved my camoron or shrimp tacos....great ambience to hang out with friends!
Rick MclemoreNovember 21, 2017Great service and very good food .. plus a great tequila menu .. what else do you need ..- The Mexican Flag, Nachos Gabachos and Coconut Flan are my all-time favorites!!! The staff is super friendly and enthusiastic.
The food was very good as was the service! The ceviche is delicious, but quite spicy. As a result, I got to finish my wife's, but that was OK with me.
Nina RosenquestSeptember 14, 2014Vegetarian chili reilleno, guacamole, Margarita specials, mole, and salads. My favorite restaurant b in Raleigh.
The tacos here are amazing! One of the best Mexican restaurants in Raleigh, by far.
Not open on Mondays, we found out the hard way! The food here is awesome...drinks are great. Always packed. Can make reservations, just not on fri-sat from 6:30 on.- Everything is delicious. Service was fabulous and the spicy pepino is my new fav!
Laura Daughtry 🧘🏼♀️September 6, 2012Get the Pollo tacos: three small flour tortillas with grilled chicken, cheese, pico de gallo and fresh slices of avocado. Muy delicioso!
The News & ObserverAugust 2, 2012The menu doesn’t describe the Mero-Mexican taco but advises, “dare you to try it!!!” Those who dare will discover that it’s lengua (beef tongue) – and that it’s very good indeed. Read more

Chris DahlinJune 30, 2013The talega for dessert is out of this world. The guacamole is also really fresh and tasty.

Sunil AntaniJuly 29, 2013Great food, efficient, friendly! See if you can ask for Mariana as your server!
Yolanda CastilloApril 13, 2012Delicioso! The jalapeno, cucumber martini is an awesome yummy cocktail vs the margarita!
Best food and service by far! The carne is off the hook.
The soup is quite seriously one of the best I've had in my life.
The food was unbelievably good!! Will definitely be coming Back.
By far the best animatronics out of all the Mexican places in the area
Alexis RothApril 28, 2012Amazing food and drinks. Server Amanda was the best and everyone was friendly
