While at work I was looking for a new place to eat when I came across this place. I am a big fan of Mexican food, so this place really scratched my itch, even tho it's tex-mex, it was close enough for me. Also being a vegetarian this place beat the other options I was finding around campus. I now go here almost every day for lunch. The food is really good, although I hate onions and have to watch out for them. Anything that comes with beans, they give you the option of refried, or black beans, which was pretty nice. They serve alcohol, but I haven't tried their selection since I've only been there while at work. The portions are pretty good, and especially good when it comes to the chips. Everything is very fresh as well. The guacamole wasn't really my style, but I'm sure some people love it. The prices are also pretty good, I got 2 bean and cheese tacos, and a big serving of chips with a drink for around $6. The only downside for me was that the only thing on the 2 T.V.'s are Sports and Fox News, and the radio is a little not to my liking, but I always listen to my own music anyway. So if you're at Duke, give it a shot. It beats the McDonald's grease factory next door.
