  I've lived in Texas. Arizona, and Cali for most of my life. Was looking for the best mexican place nearby.  Was amazing. Best corn tortillas ever.  Gordidtas was solid. Homemade salsas were great.  
  Also hing around the attached grocery store. Decent prices.
    Only issue. No one speaks English so better brush up on your survival Spanish. 8*)

  This place is incredible and there is a place in my heart for it even though I no longer live in the area. I have only tried the tacos, but the steak and lengua meat options are cooked so well and filled with so much flavor that sometimes I still daydream and can taste them.
  
  My favorite condiment is the green sauce, which has pieces of avocado inside. From my experience, these are the tastiest and most authentic tacos I have ever tried, not to mention also very affordable. I would highly recommend giving this place a visit!

  A huge grocery/bakery/produce/meat market/restaurant in an old car dealership. Totally intimidating from the outside, but very complete and friendly. Spanish skills or a translator will be needed to get your meal ordered. The food is good, but not nearly as flavorful as I was expecting from the other reviews. I got the al Pastor and Pollo Tonga, and doctores them up with the sauce bar, which is very complete. Even with Pico de Gallo and salsa verde, the meats still needed a bit of salt, but none was to be found. The fresh corn tortillas were good, but I'm more a fan of Cort flour tortillas and cooked to new from corn. Doubled up, they overwhelmed the stuffing of the tacos.
  I'm bought a store-made cup of flan from the bakery area, but it was pretty tasteless and stiff. There are other Places here in Durham that offer a better flavor to me.

  Heads up, there are two locations very close to one another. This location does not take orders over the phone. Very authentic Mexican restaurant located inside old car dealership turned into a Mexican grocery store. Food was fresh with a condiments/salsa bar. Be warned, the salsas are very spicy. Majority of the orders do not come with rice and beans but you can order them as sides. The wait was a little long and had a lot of Spanish people eating so I knew the food would be good. It is literally a hole in the wall. Not the best looking on the inside, not the best looking on the outside, but the food is good. Do not come here expecting Tex-Mex, come expecting authentic Mexican cuisine. I ordered the Gorditas which is like a soft shell with meat, cheese, and beans on the inside.

  I love this place. It reminds me a lot of my home town in New Mexico. It looks a little rough around the edges, especially with the fence with the barbed wires and the security guard out in front. But let me tell you guys, this place is utterly amazing if you give it a chance!
  
  It's a shop that sells meats, produce, and a lot of Mexican goodies. It's like any Mercado but a lot cleaner!
  
  When you enter and keep walking straight, you'll end up in the bakery area. That make fresh tortillas and bakes goodies everyday! You can buy tortillas by the pound and you can really smell that they are being made fresh!
  
  If you go further back, you'll find the restaurant. They have a menu on digital screens with photos. The prices are cheap and the portions are generous. Each person I was with was about $10 for a full plate of food! Also they have horchata and many other Mexican drinks at around $2/3 per large container. They don't put too much ice in it (SCORE) and the refill is $1. YOU HEARD ME CORRECTLY. $1.
  
  I will definitely be going back for my salsa, guacamole, tortillas, baked goods, and food. Basically everything was charming about this shop! I cannot emphasize how much people should come and try it out! If you haven't been, please do yourself the favor to try authentic Mexican cuisine at this location.
