Neither of us were impressed with the chips & salsa, entrees, or margaritas, but that was made only worse when after asking the server if it was okay to use a particular coupon, he later changed his story and the mgr sided with him. I promise, I am not just a jilted customer aiming to ding these guys - if the food was good, I would absolutely say so. But, it really, honestly wasn't, but that was made worse by their actions. Needless to say we won't be back.

This small place in a strip mall has great empanadas. My daughter and I have been there twice and will be back.They offer at least a total of 20 different flavors of empanadas. They have vegetarian, meat, specialty and dessert empanadas to choose from. All are $3 except for specialty which are $4.Both my daughters and I got a combination dinner or 2 empanadas, a side and a drink for slightly less than $10. Empanadas we're delicious.Dessert empanadas are out of this world. Tried the cheesecake empanada and it was almost to die forThe restaurant has a small seating area and is relatively plain. You order at counter than they bring your food to where you are sitting.The food is good enough for a rating of 5 but the fact the interior is plain and this is not a full service restaurant without waiters and a chef precludes the higher rating.Recommended highly if you like empanadas.

Stayed at the Hampton and desk clerk recommended this place when we asked for a close (walking distance) local place. Chips were fresh and hot, salsa flavorful and smoky. 1800 margarita was strong and well made. Ordered combo of chicken taco and chicken enchilada, with rice and beans. Came out fast, hot and delicious. Server was friendly and efficient. Would definitely eat here again!
3. Las Margaritas Mexican

Some years ago, while visiting Wake Forest, a business colleague took me to Las Margaritas for dinner and I remembered that pleasant visit on a recent return to the community. I was able to locate the restaurant easily but if you have not been there before, it will probably be useful to report that it is below ground, and that you enter by a staircase off the sidewalk that takes you down into this charming place. Once inside, I was immediately led to a table and the hostess made sure that I was happy with her choice (I was). It was a busy evening, with more than one party there but the service was efficient and polite, hurried even, but I did not feel neglected. The menu choices were extensive â in a sense, the usual Tex-Mex offerings but excellent in quality and preparation. Without question, Las Margaritas is a âcut above,â well above, the usual sort of thing. Prices were most definitely reasonable, surprisingly so â this was definitely a good value. Without doubt the décor, the service, the welcoming spirit, the quality of the food, and the price all commend this restaurant to me and insure that I will return at the first opportunity.

We went to gonza expecting authentic tacos . We got that and more ! The decor is artsy and fun . The menu was a surprise . As we read about the items, we soon discovered elements of Mexican , Puerto Rican , Dominican , Colombian and even some American dishes . If you find this difficult to navigate , the staff will help, though I assure you there is no such thing as a bad dish here
