After an amazing experience at a taqueria in Baltimore I have been looking for authentic Mexican flavors in Raleigh and now I have finally stumbled upon some! Our meal was a little more expensive than what I’ve paid for Mexican in the past, but I did go order crazy! I ordered nachos – they’re standard with white cheese. Then two marinated pork soft tacos and a carne asada chalupa. The chalupa was like a regular taco but filled with some cheese, sour cream, and inside of a cornmeal pancake, like an arepa. The meats were unique, with the pork sporting a bit of a vinegar tang and the steak having a roasted flavor, with crispy chunks. I also enjoyed the soft tortillas, made with real masa. It was way too much food for me, I should have only gotten two items. I also enjoyed swigging my Mexican Coke in a glass bottle, made with real sugar.

According to chowhounds, the posole and the goat chili stew called Birria items are the must-try specialties. And if you’re brave you can try beef head tacos or tripe tacos. If you’re not fluent in Spanish, ask for the English menu so you can know what you’re ordering.

I found a menu on my door for Wang's, which usually isn't necessarily a good sign that a place will have good food but we decided to try them out.  We were pleasantly surprised.  The veggie stir fries were fresh and everything arrived very quickly.  The combination platters are cheap, all for $7.  Hubby loved his hot and sour soup so much he downed a whole quart of it at once!

It turns out this is now our go-to place. They deliver to our house usually within 15 minutes and the quality of my Kung Pao Chicken or Egg Foo Young is consistent. Glen’s favorite now is the Home Style Tofu. Check out their menu here.
