“ As a native Texan, (at least feeling somewhat qualified) I have to say that they have some top notch stuff, super impressed :) it's a pretty cozy space to grab a quick bite or even a sit-down meal. They have a pretty wide variety of options, but you definitely can't go wrong with their tacos! Super affordable and will leave you feeling satisfied and full. Everyone is really friendly and the food comes out pretty quickly. Definitely recommend! Especially their asada, chorizo, and lengua tacos! Will be back to try other things on the menu too. Bonus: they have their own parking lot which is nice! ”
“ 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. ”
“ Different name now, "Mexico lindo & querido" but still great, authentic Mexican food. ”
“ Overall good experience again! Tried some new things: - Torta Cubana: Hefty sandwich with like 3 different meats (including sausage & chorizo), fried egg, avocado, onions, lettuce, tomato. A little salty, but balances out with the spicy salsa they provide. - Camarones Ala Mexicana Platter: Good if you want a lighter, healthier feeling option. - Quessabirrias: Honestly, felt a little too greasy for me & the consommé wasn't super deep in flavor. It was okay. - Pupusa con Pollo: I think the pupusas will be my favorite item to get here! - Horchata: Love their horchata; super cinnamon-y and refreshing. Fast service during weekday dinnertime; fine ambiance. 9/10 would recommend! ”
