👍👍 Can’t think of any place I have been to that was better than this place for Mexican food. The atmosphere was fun as well. Good crowd had lots of fun. Will return to taste out what else is on the menu. Had a short wait even for a large party on a Friday night.

👍👍 Best tacos in the Research Triangle! My husband and I are super picky with Mexican food (We are from NYC and CA where the Mexican food game is strong!). This place has it all! Handmade tortillas, fresh flavorful proteins including hard to find cuts of meat! Authentic salsas and accompaniments 😍 the...

👍👍 My wife and I were in town for a few days and found this place by searching Google. The reviews are spot on. Bottle of water was free, chips and salsa were fresh and delicious, and the Taco Party we ordered with 12 corn tacos with 4 different meats was excellent. These were like the street tacos...

👍👍 Tables were clean, service was quick and fast. Additionally as I had ordered my food to-go, I was certain I was gonna get gipped outta the free salsa and chips however they included them in the bag as well. Its small things like that which make a difference.

👍👍 Really good food. You MUST try the gorditas. I had asada and pollo. Both delicious & made fresh. Also tried the barbacoa de rez and hibiscus drink. Dont leave without buying some candy to go. I recommend the cajeta and coconut. This is family owned and run. All cooks, managers, servers, and cashie...

👍👍 La Mala definitely has some of the best cocktails in Durham, especially when it comes to tequila and mezcal. All of the drinks are so unique and fresh. They also have a really fun and interesting food menu. We made a meal from the shared plates alone! It is a little loud, but after a drink or two we...

Burritos, nachos, guacamole & other Mexican staples plus mixed drinks & a kids' menu.

👍👍 This place had me at crunch wrap supreme. Plus it's in a food hall, so what's not to like? Covid-19: you can order and pay online. The food hall was empty when I went in to pick mine up. It was set up to be one way. There are a couple of small tables to eat at outside if it's not too cold. We got...
