We'll definitely become regulars. Awesome food. The dilemma will be choosing between Nana Taco and The Q Shack which is right next door!!

Kyle Fowler

Maybe the best queso dip in NC. The big Daddy burrito is a great burrito . Make sure you pick the right meat combos for it: Pork belly , duck , chicken .

Nick DiColandrea

Lunch specials are not to be missed. Lines are quick and their burritos are outstanding.

Jason Gilbert

Just great everything. Tacos , guacamole , quest, margs . Fair prices and quick service . 8.8

Excellent food. Always get the nachos they are the best value and best tasting when topped with a dirty meat or shrimp .

Tish Futrell

The calamari is exceptional. It comes with arugula and a smokey Chipotle sauce ... one of our favs! My kiddos get the nachos .

Justin Baker

That Big Daddy Burrito is succulent and delicious. I put it in my mouth and well , I will leave the rest up to your imagination.

Carrie Nyden

The Casesar salad + meat is amazing! Both the smoked duck & rotisserie chicken are delish. I love all the salsa options too! :)

Marion

Smoked duck , lamb cheek , and fried oysters are the best tacos here. But that lamb cheek is hella greasy.

Gabi Tesoro

Tacos are awesome, the make their own corn tortillas ! Toppings and salsa bar is the bomb.

Felisa

Fish tacos are fabulous. Salsa is excellent. Gluten free tortillas are quite good.

Caroline Wilson

pulled pork taco was amazing. pork belly taco was good. fish taco was dry.

Tim Snyder

The crispy liver tacos are amazing, but everything is really good!

John Dervin

don't park across the street. saw two cars getting booted for parking and walking over here/Q Shack

Fred Lybrand

Don't park across the street. They will boot and tow you.

Josh Rucker

The chorizo taco was fantastic. A little disappointed that the chips and "salsa " was just chips and pico .

Audra A.

Huge portions . Tasty meats. Had the burrito bowl and could barely finish it.

Kaitlin

Big Daddy Burrito is where it's at, but make sure you're hungry!

Kyle McDonald

Pork tamales were some of the best tamales I've ever had.

Erin Henshaw

Carnitas were my favorite but everything is delicious!

Annette Baldwin

Everything especially the queso dip

Courtney Ziegler

The Mexican chocolate milkshake and the spicy coleslaw from the salsa bar are not to be missed!

Michael Harrison

Pork belly tacos all the way.

Jay

The pumpkin pie shake with a dash of cayenne pepper (trust me) should not be missed!

Happiness Rugumamu

Maybe I'm missing something but I tried the garlic steak and chicken tacos and they severely lacked seasoning. Even the condiments couldn't save it. There are better taco spots out there. No for me.

Sara Edmond

The chicken tacos are my favorite! Spinach and mushroom tacos are also delicious!

Emilio C

This place is awesome. Burritos are great.

glenn goldman

The duck tacos are phenomenal. Pork belly is great too, but a little underseasoned IMO

Alyssa Harrison

Try the beef tongue tacos . You won't regret it. Amazingly delicious!

Aditya Basu

Surprisingly, the chicken liver tasted better than the pork butt and chorizo

Shanika Nickerson

Tacos , rice salsa and street corn !!

Bruno Sokic

Get the Big Daddy burrito . You won't leave hungry :)

Lamb cheeks and hog jowls should be on every menu.

Cristina Perez

Lunch combo is a great deal!

Ken Lee

Mm Good! Great variety of meats for your tacos or salads . Really good!

Try the spicy rose watermelon sangria ! Sooooo good :)
