Doug C.: I get that blasting loud music probably helps move the customers along, but last night it was just *way* too loud. We started feeling bad for the employees who must having hearing damage... The food is usually ok, but I think we'll find somewhere else to go from now on that is a bit less deafening. Also maybe try not to give people with reservations the worst seats (directly in front of the kitchen where waiters constantly wheel carts past).

SANGITA GUPTA: Food was okay, drinks were better and the ambiance was really nice. Overall nice warm place to hangout with your friends.Recommended dishes Shrimp Tacos, Chicken Tinga Quesadilla, Chicken Tinga Tacos, Chicken Fajitas, Mexican Flag …More

Vivian Foxglove: I can't believe I haven't rated this place! I love it! It's so tasty and consistent, and the tacos are really high quality! The decore is AWESOME and the lighting is nice and the desserts are FANTASTIC and oh my god this is the ONE redeeming restaurant that makes up for all the Garbo tier places in this town. I've been to EVERY Gonzo's location and they've all incredibly consistent between them food-wise, but I would say the decore here is particularly stand out (though they all have their own unique flair).PLEASE EAT HERE

Cullen R: They don’t disappoint, great for gatherings, and awesome food!

Brenda Rives: My daughter and I ate dinner at the Cary location. We were so pleased with our two servers…Jessica and Lori. The waitress brought us chips and salsa shortly anfter we were seated.

Sally C: Had to come here because I loved Chef Katsuji in Top Chef. So happy I got to taste his food finally.

Nehiel Ortiz Mercado: I had this place on my list for a while. Went with a friend and we were seated next to two women that I can only describe as “influencers”. During the entire meal these two were filming everything although I never saw then take a single bite of food the entire time. They just constantly took pics and videos using bright studio lights that shone directly in my face. Our young and under trained server never asked us if we wanted more drinks or anything else never refilled our water glasses, basically neglected our table for the most part and it seemed like we waited ages to even be able to ask for the bill all while having to endure the filming next to our table. I requested to speak to a manager to tell them that we didn’t have a great experience because of the filming and lack of service. The manager offered apologies and a 50 dollar voucher for the inconvenience. I had no intention of coming back but appreciated the gesture. We were about to leave when the Chef came of nowhere to ask us what the problem was. He first asked us what we did for a living and when he decided we were no one of relevance to him told us that there was nothing they could do about influencers cause that’s how things were nowadays. When I told him that as a paying customer I didn’t have to put up with filming especially if I had not consented to it, he again offered no apology and just said that’s how it is while smirking the entire time. When I asked him why he was even speaking to me since I hadn’t requested his presence and told him that the manager had handled the situation well without his intervention this narcissistic little man became furious and proceeded to snatch the voucher right out of the managers hand and tore it to pieces in front of me like a spoiled child. He humiliated his own staff and showed so much arrogance and condescension. Imagine if I had complained about the mediocre and overpriced food that took forever to come out of the kitchen would he have physically assaulted me? This egomaniac of a chef, if he can even be called that; does not respect customers or his own staff if I could give this place zero stars I would.

Andrew Meador: I was nervous when we went in on weekend brunch and I was told it was only the brunch menu until 4pm. I don't really like eggs or other breakfast foods. What I found was a true brunch offering of both breakfast and lunch foods...and it was all utterly incredible. My chicken al pastor gringas were flawlessly executed. The guacamole with crickets (yep, the insects) was surprisingly tasty, and paired well with the tacos. The Brussels sprouts are my new gold standard anywhere, as they were definitely cooked to remove the bitterness, but preserve the flavor. All in all an excellent place to eat.

Tashanda Smith-green: Listen, I was absolutely excited to take my family here. We arrived at 3:55 and our reservation was at 4:00. She gave me a brunch menu and I said “I thought dinner was at 4, that’s what our reservation is for”. She had a complete attitude and told us we had to wait until 4. Ok, we were seated and we ordered chips and salsa. My first mistake was thinking this was a Tex mex style restaurant and that it would be pick de gallo style salsa! Nope, it’s green salsa and some other salsa that tasted like baby food. I asked did they have regular red salsa and the server (Male Caucasian or Hispanic with black curly hair) rolled his eyes and said THIS IS SALSA. Whew, so I ordered dinner and asked could I get a side of rice and he said we don’t do that here, everything comes already fixed. Sooo are you saying it’s packaged and nothing is fresh??? He also mentioned the rice is made days prior, which was a complete taste bud killer! My meal had about 4 pieces of chicken with a pound of cheese, and my sisters fajita had pounds of peppers and barely any meat. She asked for NO SHRIMP and the waiter said ok. She receives her meal and THERE’S HUGE SHRIMP ON THE PLATE! She didn’t make a fuss but asked him why, and he again said, “It already comes like that so we can’t take out the shrimp”. At this point we were DONE! Our table stayed crowded with dishes until it was time to pay the check and let’s just say I will Not be returning anytime soon unless it’s just for a cute drink! I’m so disappointed!

Arthur Zak: Delicious good and vibes, but service could be a little better.My Flavian Bowl was a huge, delicious medley of 3 meats and other goodies. The mole carnitas were flavorful, though the carnitas themselves were a little dry and chewy. The side salad looked amazing with mandarins and avocado. Chicken quesadilla was solid. Agua fresca deliciosa. I like that the menu was concise. I wish they had esquites or some kind of corn dish though.Came on a lazy Sunday, not many people in the restaurant, but still our server took quite a while in between visits to our table. We didn't receive an appetizer we ordered and had to remind them (which took a strangely long time for queso dip), and they never brought the ice cream for our kids meals (the kids menu descriptions of what is included was confusing and all of us had different interpretations of what was meant). Also, asking for shrimp instead of chicken on the kids taco meal doubled the price of it... I would have been better off getting the adult taco portion for two dollars more.

Annie Bush: The best part of the visit was the drinks. The salsa tasted like it was poured out of a jar. I ordered ACV (Arroz con Vegetables), it has no taste, and the cheese was like glue. I replaced it with Black bean soup, and it was ok but overpowered by tortilla strips. It also had a weird hint of sweetness. Can't say that I will be returning. Experience was very underwhelming

Andrea Haak: The food was good, we enjoyed our meal and our waitress was awesome! Guacamole was definitely fresh which is something I always look for at Mexican restaurants. I had the PLATANO FRITORELLENO which is a dinner dish but they were able to make it for me during lunch time. I do think it doesn’t actually need the cheese on top of the plantains and I feel like the rice would have been better. Otherwise, I enjoyed it!
