The Whole Enchilada

The Whole Enchilada is a casual spot for fresh, delicious Mexican food. The service is quick and friendly. After ordering at the counter, you can take a seat in the dining room. I found it to be comfortable and nicely decorated. Everything about this place is clean and welcoming. Now for the food… The fish tacos are perfect! The fish is seasoned and prepared beautifully, the slaw is crisp and fresh, the amount of avocado is generous, and the sauce is so smokey and flavorful. Yum!!! The guacamole is also a hit, and I heard the empanadas are an 8/10. I’d love to come back!

Stopped by for lunch on the go while I was in town for work. The gentleman at the counter let me know they had a Gazpacho soup special and it sounded good on a hot day. I was expecting a blended soup but was surprised to see a chunky cold mix like salsa but it was delicious! Really refreshing and good flavor. Served with a small side of chips. Also ordered 2 enchiladas and they were tasty, chicken and beef were flavorful and light on the cheese. Would visit again when in the area!

Great lunch spot… delicious food… pleasant staff… clean dining room/facilities… will definitely return!

No frills Mexican food in Durham. They have the basics: tacos, burritos, and enchiladas.

Overall it provided what we needed, which was a satisfying meal on short notice where we could meet with family and have a nice conversation.

The one time I went here was on Friday night (it's been about 2 years now) and I ordered the Taco Taco Chips and Soda/Water (I was told all the drinks are the same price, so it doesn't matter). I figure $6.50 plus tax, it should come to $6.91, but somehow it came to a little over $7.00 (I don't recall the exact amount). Then I agreed to pay for my buddy's drink (that is all he got/ordered) and the price went up to $9.70. I gave the kid a $20 and received $10.30 back as change. When my friend grabbed the two drinks, the kid behind the counter acted shocked and said he didn't charge me for the second drink, but then when I argued his false statement, he told us not to worry about it... I guess I am worried about it. I'm confused on how the special with an extra drink came to that much and th
