Esmeralda Grill - Cary

Ok...this place is a game changer for Mexican food in the triangle. I moved here from CA and finally found legit Mexican fare that isnt diluted for the white masses. Tacos are delicious and generous on meat portions. Queso is rich and high quality.

The roasted chicken was delicious. I love their rice. The portion sizes were generous. The horchata could be better (it was a little watered down for my taste. Would definitely order here again.

These are the best tacos I've had outside of Mexico City, and I've tried all the popular spots as well as some hidden gems around Raleigh. They are incredibly juicy and flavorful, which is impressive since it's challenging to achieve that without the high volume found in Mexico City. The Burrito Pollo was also huge!

This is the best Mexican food we've discovered in the area, and we've been residents here for 10 years! The portion sizes are generous, and everything is absolutely delicious!

I'm from Mexico, and I can confidently say that the flavors, portion sizes, and tortillas are fresh and authentic. The flan is absolutely DELICIOUS!
