Mexican in Triangle

[BryanZ]

I need all types of Mexican restaurants in the Triangle, specifically Durham. I'm working on a big project on a short deadline and anything that's "South of the Border" will suffice. It's sad to say but I'm looking for as many restaurants as possible with quality being a secondary concern. So pretty please, start naming away ASAP. As much information as possible is always appreciated.

Thanks for the quick link. Now if anyone can recommend any of those or anything other place as even slightly decent it would make life much easier. Thanks.

Certainly, Arandas rates at or near the top as a taqueria. For starters, only a handful of Triangle eateries can claim to make their own corn tortillas fresh daily, as Arandas does. A little thicker than mass-produced tortillas and decidedly more redolent of earthy corn flavor, these provide the extra touch that spells the difference between a very good taco and a great one

I haven't lived in the Triangle since '96, but I can vouch for Chapel Hill's El Rodeo. I just hope they haven't gone downhill since I was there.

I still have friends in the area, so if you haven't passed your deadline, I can ask around.

Thanks for the help, but my little showcase came out today. I found Super Taqueria, at the corner of N Roxboro and Bon Air Rds to be the best all around. A very enjoyable, and unexpected, experience.

I am a big fan of Super Taqueria. The tongue taco and pork taco are top notch, as is the condiment bar. I do get funny looks in there, since I am always the only non-Mexican in the place. Check out the Sunday special......usually ceviche.

BryanZ,

Say, I was interested in reading your review in the Chronicle but I cannot seem to get a full-size version of the article to show up on the screen or to print out. Is that just the way the archived articles work or am I doing something wrong? Would you mind providing a link to the reviews for all us egulleters to see.

thanks

The tongue taco and condiment bar at Super Taqueria are excellent. And imagine the looks I got in that place walking in with my camera and pen for notetaking.

As for the link to the article, it was a showcase of local Durham taquerias. Unfortunately, they scanned in the article poorly without uploading the text separately. There's not a whole lot there, however, since it was more about locating and highlight some of the best taquerias in the area. With that said, I found Super Taqueria to be the best, by far.

If anyone is at all interested, I have a couple more short pieces that are archived online www.chronicle.duke.edu. The're short reviews for Grasshopper and Loco Pops, but I will continue to write throughout the year.
