Everytime I visit this place they never disappoint! The food is tasty and the drinks are fantastic! On my last visit it was me and my fiancé 6th anniversary. We got there maybe an hour after they opened and it was quiet, which I loved. Our waitress was amazing, very helpful with drink selections and keeping our water glasses full. We order so much but the highlight was definitely the short rib tacos, elotes and margaritas! I'm not usually a margarita drinker but I could actually drink this one and enjoy it! Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

This location now has brunch on Sundays. They haven't updated their Google or website yet, but it looks like a really tasty brunch menu. I came for tacos and one of my favorite desserts, tres leches. My first time at this location. First impression, great for vegans, vegetarians, and gluten free friends. I got the Carne Asada with rice side, an extra side of plantains, and Tres Leches Cake. Anything came out warm. The tacos were good. 3 per meal. The rice was yummy and had pieces of plantains mixed in. That was a really lovely surprise! The plantains with the vinegar sauce was really tasty! The bitter vinegar flavor complemented the sweetness of the fruit. Loved. Finally the cake was nice. The berries had a sour punch that was tasty with the thicker sweet cream on top of a obviously soaked in milk but still dense cake. Good food, intimate space, and good service.

Went in with a group of 4 for an 8:30 pm reservation on a Tuesday evening. The restaurant is narrow with dim lighting but aesthetically pleasing. We were the only ones there and the environment was awkward to say the least. I understand the frustration of patrons coming in near closing time, but if that is a problem and the attitudes are going to reflect that, don't offer an 8:30 pm reservation slot in my opinion. However, we were aware that the restaurant would be closing soon so we had looked ahead and were prepared to order right away. Personally, I loved my meal. Ordered chili con queso for the table... delicious. One would think it isn't hard to get queso wrong but so many places do. I usually head to Torchy's if i'm craving queso but Virgil's puts up a worthy reconsideration. Maduros, my favorite food, were delicious. $6 for 6 plantains is a little steep though. The chicken quesadilla had great flavor and the margarita did what it needed to do. All together it came to $35. I agree with a lot of the other reviews that the service could be better but the food I ordered was delicious, so I'd be willing to go again.

The chips were so unique and delicious. A decent selection. The menu online does not reflect what they have in store. The music was a little loud so hard to ha e a conversation. The ambiance was nice.

Food was excellent! Service could be a bit better. We didn't see any waitstaff for over 20 minutes and we were all out of drinks. Hopefully it was just a one-off. They have a few tables outside and the decor is fun and eclectic. I wish the music wasn't so loud so I didn't have to yell to be heard.

Nice spot for dinner! Has a modern, IG-friendly vibe to it (pretty dark inside though). Waitress was v nice, the food prices were fair, music was great! The chicken tacos and margarita were very average however - wonder if the food is better at other Mexican spots in the area that looked to be busier.

Fabulous restaurant with a gorgeous, upscale atmosphere and food with a kick. The service is fabulous, the menu is reasonably priced and inspires you to take a chance on something new, and the drinks are to die for. If you come on a Friday after 9, the arcade they have upstairs has free play for all games.

Saw this restaurant on a "best tacos in NC" article and had to go test them out. Well worth the drive and definitely adding it as a stop on road trips that take us through the capital.
