Virgil's Original Taqueria - Raleigh

Virgils offers a fantastic dining experience. You place all your orders through a QR code link, so you don't have to worry about a forgetful server. The food is not only served quickly but is also delicious.

I was somewhat let down by our visit to Virgil's. Aside from the chips, which are truly exceptional, the rest of the food and drinks were merely average. The red salsa was too smoky, the tacos al pastor lacked flavor, and even the classic margarita tasted watered down. We were seated in a room that felt like an annex with very little ambiance. There are certainly better Mexican restaurants in the downtown area.

We had an amazing experience! It was our first wedding anniversary and they made us feel very special! Delicious food and amazing service! The drinks we spectacular too. We will definitely be back soon.

The atmosphere is fun and lively, with an exciting drink selection. And we haven't even mentioned the tacos yet! A tip for you: order the short rib barbacoa plate to share, along with some chips, queso, and guacamole. Roll up your sleeves and dig in! If you’re in the mood for something extra, consider adding some elote. After your meal, be sure to ask the bartender about the Merchant! It’s a speakeasy cocktail bar accessed through a hidden door in the same building, perfect for after-dinner drinks.

Food was decent but I’d pick several other restaurants for this cuisine type before going back. Not bad but not the best.
