If you want authentic Mexican food this is the place to go. Don't expect a fancy restaurant, what they lack in the aesthetic they make up for ten fold in the great tasting food.

It was pretty good. Definitely a hole-in-the-wall type place. We thought the carne asada could have used more brown bits on the meat. I had very tasty pineapple horchata. Try the green sauce.

Fresh vegetables, (broccoli not overlooked!)
Friendly service. English spoken & English on the menu.
I asked for a salad and the waitress suggested things to include. Of course, there were plenty of the traditional Mexican-American items on the menu. Or just ask!
Portions were large enough.
Not a new building but a clean one.

I had an awesome meal here today. Somewhat distant relatives of my husband own the place so when his cousin, who’s aunt owns the place, was here visiting, we drove out from Raleigh to see her and her and we all ate at her family’s restaurant. It was the most authentic Mexican food I’ve had outside of Mexico. My husband is from Guadalajara, so I’m accustomed to eating home cooked meals from families in that region and the very casual local eateries the residents frequent and this place is exactly the type of restaurant you’d find there. I read other reviews and have to think they thought they were reviewing a different restaurant and accidentally tagged this one....someone mentioned broccoli and a salad and English on the menu...none were things I saw there. I had a chicken taco and a suegra and they were delicious. I generally stick with water for meals but decided to get agua de Jamaica and it tasted so good I had a refill and a big cup to go. it was definitely worth driving over an hour so we will be going back!

After seeing the other 5 star reviews, I really wanted to like this place. I'm all about hole in the wall authentic Mexican restaurants, but... Walking into this establishment I noticed about 10 tables with one customer seated. All the tables were stacked with dirty dishes except for an uncleaned table directly under their TV. Because of the 7 other 5 star reviews I decided to suck it up. I proceeded to go ahead and order my 3 Carne tacos. When handed my tacos, I dug in after applying some of their hot sauce. My first bite was a lot of crunchy black gristle from an uncleaned grill. Upon inspection of my tacos, they were all mixed with a lot of this black crunchy gristle. I was so disappointed... I sat their picking out what little edible Carne I could find, paid and left still hungry. One of my worst dining experiences to date.

In my entire life there are only two people/place that can satisfy the authentic Mexican cooking I love and that's my wife and La Cuata. This place offers quality food, friendly staff, great atmosphere and reasonable prices

My first visit was today when I took my daughter out for lunch on her lunch break. It was an hour and a half from where I live, but MAN was it worth the drive. Employees were warm and gracious. The portions are very large and sooooo tasty! I just wish they had spicier options.

Food was ok but definitely not what I’m used too. I had the chorizo burrito which came with lettuce, tomato & sour cream all put inside the burrito. Portions are large and prices are reasonable. I was mostly disappointed because they don’t have tortilla chips. I’ve never been to a Mexican restaurant that didn’t have chips and salsa! I wanted to try the guacamole but...no chips! The mango agua fresca was the best I’ve ever had. Like biting into a fresh mango!
