  Great food! Don't let the exterior and lack of decor scare you away from this authentic Mexican food. The partitions were good and the service was quick. Especially good was the Carne Asada. Only down side was their lack of fountain drinks and tea. They only have bottled drinks.

  So glad we took a chance and stopped. We wanted some basic authentic locals-type mex while driving from Wilmington to Raleigh and it fit the bill exactly.  Authentic in that the tacos are almost all meat - delicately shredded (not a single questionable bit in the beef or the chicken) and quite plain. That's what your salsa is for. The corn tortillas were flaky and tender - yum!  Refried beans soupy and delicious. The rice refreshingly simple with no bits of veg.  Highly recommend!   Woman at counter says they have been there 17 years.

  Worth the trip.
  
  Authentic Mexican-style tacos. Diablo, carne and pork...not to be missed.  Beef tongue good, chicken taco was more American style.  Much larger menu that just tacos.
  
  Friendly staff, but they don't sell cerveza. Downtown location.
