Best Mexican food in Durham you ask? My son's and I agree, this is it. Located where Nosh used to be, off Erwin near Duke hospital. Service is excellent and they have an extensive menu. We've been there numerous times and have never been disappointed! Highly recommended!!

I have been here twice in a week! Their Selena enchiladas are amazing and so is their birria dinner! I love their cheese dip it's so creamy! Genuinely some of the best Mexican food I have ever had!

Best Chicken Fajitas Ever! Served hot and not full of grease. Tortillas were hot with nice rice and toppings. Chimichangas were great too, as was the raspberry margarita. Hard to find — around the back of the building — but worth it.
