I've always enjoyed going here despite it being a half hour drive away and there being about 5 other Mexican places I pass on the way. The food is good, the prices are great especially for their lunch specials which they have on weekends also. The kids menu items are also a good portion for the price and includes a drink. But ask that aside, I love that they have a salsa bar. Not the best salsa bar ever but the stuff is good. They also bring a good bean dip in addition to the salsa with the chips.
The whole staff is friendly. The service is quick and attentive. The food is excellent. I recommend the Enchiladas de Carnitas and the Tableside Guacamole. Don't forget to try the salsa bar! In response to the one-star review that says they prefer Patton: it's basically the same group of people.
Went for dinner last night and it was great, as always! We sat outside for the first time and it was just what we needed. We had the back area all to ourselves! Server was so nice and patient with us. I ordered the carne asada with steamed broccoli and rice. My two year old had the Mac n cheese and fries and I’m not too sure of the name of what my fiancé ordered…but he loved it and said the sauce served with it was just as great. I tried it and it was so good I kept dipping my carne asada in it! My son loved his Mac n cheese! And as for my dish, no complaints! Broccoli was tender but crisp and tasted delicious! Rice is always a favorite of mine here, never disappoints! Carne asada was great! Loved the grilled onion on top! I would say it may have been a little excessive with the onion but other than that, perfect! Will be back again soon.
This is the best place around. The service is excellent, attentive without being too much. The food is piping hot, comes out fast, and is delicious. The restaurant is clean and festive. You won't be disappointed. Also, get the carnitas and churros!
Never once have I had a bad experience here. The staff never fails to go above and beyond and you can tell that they all work as a great team. If you want an all-around great dining experience, this is the place
One of the best Mexican restaurants in eastern NC! I am a big fan of Mexican cuisine and the quality of the food is excellent! Very clean restaurant and lots of attention to detail went into the decor and style of the dining room. Service was great as well! Highly recommend, especially if you love authentic tacos!
