Best authentic Mexican food in the Triangle!

by barbiharris

OK, so I am from California, I must say, I do know good Mexican food. For the last eight years I have been disgusted my the dumb-downed so called Mexican food restaurants I have tried: watery beans, bland rice, awful picio di gallo...well, I stubled upon this little gem, El Corral, and love it! Great staff, service, descent prices. Their picio di gallo has cilantro in it-yay! Beans are thick and tasty, and the rice is savory with veggies. Aroz con pollo, taquitos, and by far, the best frozen margaritas ever, even my friends agree...hands down winner!

An Undescovered Gem

by edrock

El Corral consistently impresses me. Their pico de gallo is the best in the Triangle. Their green sauce is tastey, especially on their Burro ala Roqueta. The roasted pork is delicious. And then there's the choriqueso: white cheese sauce with a hefty portion of chorizo... deadly but delicious!

• Pros: Choriqueso, Roasted Pork, Pico De Gallo

Awesome Food, Awesome Price!

My wife and I had the good fortune to stumble across El Corral a few weeks after moving to Durham, and we have been frequent patrons ever since. The wait staff is friendly and fast, and their food is out of this world. The cuisine has a more authentic mexican flair than many of the other places out there, and the hole-in-the-wall feel that makes you want to come back for more. The prices are low, and the portions are enormous. Give El Corral a try, you won't regret it!

• Pros: Inexpensive, Great Food, Friendly Staff
