    First time trying their food through Door Dash and let me say they’ve got the best tasting burritos I’ve had in a very long time! Will be dining in very soon 😋

    Last night's dinner was @fondalupitanc! A really good friend of mine took me out to dinner for a late birthday dinner. The only location they have avaliable to tag is the Sanford location. We went to their Durham location. Drinks: BERRY PINEAPPLE Tequila, strawberry, pineapple, and citrus. OLD FASHIONED This was mine, I bet you never would have guessed. 😂 Mains: BIRRIA RAMEN (mine) Ramen noodles cooked in our consome, shredded beef, topped with onions and cilantro. FONDA BOWL There is no description of this online, lol. It had chicken, lettuce, rice, black beans, guacamole, sour cream, tortilla strips, and cilantro. I am probably forgetting something. The old fashioned was really good! I loved the ice. 😂 The birria ramen was all I was hoping it to be. Super flavorful, had spice, and really hit the spot. The beef was so tender. I always love it when resturants top theor food with the onion cilantro mix! Ever since I have been seeing it online and social media, I have wanted to try it. It is worth the hype. I took some of the broth home and I can't wait to drink it later. The bowl was pretty good, but there was a lot of juice from the black beans in the bottom of the bowl making it pretty soggy. The chicken tasted good, though! I WILL be back for the ramen. This is located in a really cool spot in Durham. There are lots of little resturants all around. It would be a cool spot to do a resturant crawl.
