Cosmic Cantina

A walk up memory lane. I came here as a high school student 20 years ago and am thankful this late night staple is still going strong today. They have delicious Mexican classic favorites and drinks in a fun, casual setting with music and an outdoor rooftop area. A Durham favorite you can’t miss!

My partner and I moved to Durham in December and this has been our go to spot ever since. Cosmic was actually the first place we ate when we moved here! If you’re looking for delicious food available at almost every hour of the day, this is the place. The burritos are consistently perfect, the salsa is incredible, and the chips are crispy and the perfect saltiness. The atmosphere is really cool and the staff are so friendly! They seriously bust ass. So thankful for this place- we go every week!

One of the best; hell if not the best Mexican restaurant I ever had. Wife told me this place is a Durham staple; o and never again will yall ever have a Chipotle burrito, these things bigger than a… 😩😮‍💨🌯

The food was great, especially for late night. Service was great, but make sure you check that receipt because I was about to put cash in the tip jar before I noticed that they had already charged me $5.15 for a tip without saying anything or posting about automatic tips charges (definitely would've given them extra cash but I would also like to be notified of what I am being charged..so I decided against it for that reason) My family and friends will definitely be back next time we're in town. The outside patio is cute, too 😍

First time trying this place and was so cool! Loved how it feels like a whole in the wall and gives Austin TX vibes. Loved how much history is still here in the space. We got the asada nachos and a marg! So good and that marg was fire! Thanks for a fun lunch! Will definitely drive back up here to try other things.
