Virgil's Original Taqueria - Raleigh

The best margarita in Raleigh! Virgil's has a fantastic atmosphere and the food is excellent. I highly recommend it—definitely a 10/10 experience!

We ordered several tacos (al pastor, pescado, and nopales), as well as a quesadilla, and everything was excellent. It's a small detail, but the sour cream that accompanied the quesadilla was surprisingly good. Either my taste buds are simple, or they use high-quality sour cream! As much as we enjoyed the food, the drinks were even more impressive. I had a few cocktails while my wife opted for a margarita. Mine were fantastic, and I definitely plan to return for more drinks. A couple of the cocktails had a delightful tiki vibe that I particularly enjoyed.

This restaurant is extremely accommodating! We were seated immediately. The servers were very attentive and provided excellent service. I highly recommend any item on the menu. The drinks were also prepared perfectly.

This place is excellent! We sat at the bar, caught the live DJ buzz, watched Chef Buddy work his magic, and enjoyed cocktails from Josh and Todd. We ordered five dishes and really all were exceptionally tasty, beautifully presented, and delightfully out of the ordinary. 12/10 will return! (Dishes sampled: flautas, sopes, chili con carne, arroz con pollo paella, and tres leches cake. Cocktails: Oaxaca Old Fashioned, traditional Old Fashioned. The door situation was a little intimidating! But most of those people are actually waiting for The Merchant, upstairs. If you ask for the bar at Virgil's, you'll probably breeze right in!
