★★★★☆ 4.0 Albert Chairez · Mar 2026

Me and my father stopped here for dinner while traveling thru NC. Its was a Friday 730pm it was busy but we was in and out quickly, no wait time to get a table and food came out 25 minutes after we sat down. We both order fajitas but the meat was cut way to small for a fajitas plate. It was basically like small popcorn nugget fajitas lol. I will be back next time I am in the area but I will try a different dish. Hand made corn tortillas that was a plus. Manager/CEO look into the fajitas plate.

Excellent, no complaints! The photos do not do the portion sizes justice, huge portions. And the staff was very nice. We were feeling cold so we asked to be reseated in a warmer corner and our server had the thermostat turned warmer, and confirmed that we were comfortable after. My dad said his food was the best burrito he's ever had, his included beef, chicken, bacon, and shrimp. Prices were very reasonable. We would love to eat here again!

First, let me say that my wife typically does not like Mexican food and will not let me take her to eat Mexican food in a restaurant. Having said that, we went to this restaurant to meet a friend. My wife really enjoyed the food. She thought that the amount of food for the price was spot on. Very delicious. The ambience was cozy. We got there just a my the beginning of lunch time so it wasn’t very busy, but our waiter was very attentive to our needs. It was a fantastic dining experience and I will definitely go back there again.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Frances Croom · Apr 2025

Was in the area for 1 night and this place was recommended to us from the staff at the hotel. It was an easy walk to get there. We were seated right away without having to wait. We have been to many Mexican restaurants and I always order the same thing. Carnitas. It is a hit and miss and this meal was definitely a miss. The meat was so overcooked and tough it could not be chewed. And what I was able to get out of it had a lot of fat and gristle in it. Needed to have more flavor and spices added to make it tastier. But the presentation of the meal was fabulous as was the Sangria. Sangria was a little light on the alcohol though but not too sweet which is they way I like my Sangria's. Hubby's Enchilada's lacked flavor as was reported to me. Again, the presentation was spot on. Service was ex
