The food was hot and fast. I ordered 3 chorizo tacos and they were a little salty. The salsa was spicy and delicious. Next time I’ll get a variety of tacos.

Very good authentic style Mexican place in Durham. Small so it gets packed and waits happen. Camerones a la Diabla was spicy in a good way. The torta was stuffed. The Pozele was authentic!

10/10 it was perfect. I love little spots like this. You can tell someone’s abuela is back there doing her thing 🤌🏾. Please go check this place out. It brings that feeling like you’re eating real Mexican food, not something another culture is trying to imitate.

The best veggie burrito/tacos in Durham ‼️ Busy on weekends but you can wait in your car (for take-out) and they’ll bring you your food. This is our mainstay Mexican spot in Durham. Also: great staff. I was running late and picked up my call-in order after closing time yesterday and the staff were very nice about it!

Great place to find authentic Latin food. Not for pansy pallets that want the normal Mexican fusion ACP lol. First time trying beef cheek. They have lots of unique options but don’t be alarmed. They do not have cheese dip lol.

My friends and I came here after a day trip to Durham. We came at a later lunch hour with a mostly empty eating area that quickly filled up with locals as it became 4-5 pm. The menu is featured on a whiteboard and available in Spanish and English, and a friendly cashier took any questions. I ordered three tacos - chorizo, pastor, and carnitas with a Mexican coke. The three tacos were street taco style and a good portion that left you satisfied and full. The meat was not dry and tasted as you expected it - delicious. My friends ordered tacos, pupusas, and caldo de cameron. The pupusas were huge and two servings are definitely fulfilling and tasted amazing. The caldo de cameron was a great size and well seasoned and spiced with a great portion of shrimp and carrots. Throughout the meal, we kept telling each other how amazing the food tasted and also how comfortable the eatery was. This def showed as the dining area quickly filled up with regulars, students, and others craving good food. It's great food that serves the community and leaves you wanting to more by planning a second trip back. I loved the food and can't wait to try more.
