Three types of burritos: Old School = beans no rice. Constance = rice no beans. Regular = both. Deluxe = add sour cream and guac. Three sizes: mini, reg, giant. Takes training to finish the giant!Upvoted Jan 29
SarahOctober 3, 2017The last time I was in town I had the deluxe chicken salad two days in a row because it was so good. Perfect balance of flavors and the chicken cooked just right. Always good food here!
Jason BaxterNovember 12, 2012Very good, but not the best Mexican in Durham. One of the few places to go after the bars close at 2am. Stays open 'til 4am to keep the party going.
Swan USeptember 13, 2016Maizena salad with beans and salsa is the only time as a vegetarian I recommend salad. Also love the veggie burrito with spinach and shrooms.- Swan UApril 7, 2013Best hole in the wall joint! Get the salads with salsa on top. Veggie burritos are great; get wheat for 10 cents extra.
Charles StricklandAugust 22, 2021The hours of operation are what set this apart from other eateries. The food is ok but definitely not mouth watering. The grungy atmosphere plus the “eyes wide shut” stairs make up for that.
Try the beef burritto and a Modelo, awesome combination! One of my favorite spots on Ninth St.
Charles GibbsJuly 15, 2013tied for first for best steak burrito with Chicken Fiesta in Richmond. Green sauce is best here though.
Anthony PecorellaJanuary 8, 2011Very good chicken burritos with three sizes. The minis are still pretty good sized though, great for lighter eaters. :-)
- Burrito lesson: rice no beans = constance; beans no rice = old school; beans + rice = regular. Deluxe = sour cream and guac
Best burritos in the triangle. Maybe also the world. Their fresh salsa is nothing short of amazing.
- Love the quesadillas,Old School burrito, guac, and pico. One of my favorite lunch stops for a loooong time!
Veggie Deluxe + Duke Discount is $5 flat. Best deal on Ninth Street
Get the Steak burrito, and if you're hungry get the GIANT!
Get the salad dressing to put on your nachos. I've said too much already.
Get black beans and habanero sauce added to your burrito!
- Scott McCallMarch 10, 2010Deluxe chicken burrito is great. They're not known for their salsa, though.
Scott DelgadoAugust 16, 2014Quite overrated from the tips. My chimichanga was really greasy and very bland. Probably won't return sober.
KaitlinAugust 8, 2014It looks like a hole in the wall, and it basically is, but boy do they make some amazing Mexican food here. I love their chimichangas.
