I got the quesabirria combo and my mom got 1 chicken taco. The fountain drinks tasted kinda strange but not horrible. The quesabirria dipped in the broth was supppperrrrrr good. The beans & rice were some of the best ive ever had. My mom wasnt impressed with her taco but she liked my food. Service was great. Will definitely come again !

Good food, prices go up and portions go down. I buy birria ramen but it seems every time I’ve ordered in the last months there’s less and less meat but the price goes up. Will have to just make this at home.

SO GOOD I FORGOT TO TAKE
PHOTOS!
If you want quality food and a cute vibe be it a date, family, or solo—this is the spot. As much as I want to gate keep this I also want everyone to know quality and good food from
my own culture.
You walk in and immediately see somebody’s seasoned mama making homemade tortillas or meals…
I have tried carne asada, chicken AND pupusas—everything gets a 10/10! I judge a spot off of its carne asada, because I make it just fine at home but now I have a spot to go to that is just as good.
There’s even a salsa bar for the salsa lovers—and yes HOMEMADE deliciousness. It was so good I had to ask them to center for our company holiday party. We prepared for 50 people and let me tell you….the food was ALL GONE. I’ve never been to a party where the food was all gone. I had countless people ask me where the food was from.
SANFORD LUPITA!
I learned it’s two sisters and a mama running the show and you can taste the passion in the food.
The customer service is also on point—kind people I am happy to give my business to.
MUST VISIT AND MUST ORDER EVERYTHING. Don’t miss out. Best Mexican food I’ve had in the area (Fayetteville, Sanford and yes Raleigh!)

This restaurant was pretty tasty! We just moved to the area and our realtor gave us a gift card here so we had to try it. You order at the register, take a number, and they deliver to your table. It wasn’t very busy at all, which was nice. They had one lady working the entire front of the restaurant. She was awesome and really running around doing everything. They had a ton of cooks so food came out relatively fast. We ordered the ACP, some tacos, queso and chips and the grilled cheese birria. you had to pay for chips just fyi. All the food was really good. My husband commented it tastes more authentic than most places. I however found the cheese dip a little too spicy, I have a LOW spice tolerance. So I couldn’t eat the cheese dip or ACP. The grilled cheese birria was really good! they had a set up to get onions and different condiments or sides like a buffet style. I think I’d come back for a lunch or what not but probably not a date night or fine dining. This place is worth a try!
