The fastest serving time in a sit down restuarant-- ever.

Walked in the door, had chips and salsa immediately drinks ordered and delivered in under a minute.
Took 3 peoples orders at the minute ten second mark, by two minutes fifteen seconds food was on the table.
Dishes cleared within 10 seconds of finishing and check delivered at the same time.

Total time inside the restuarant 11 minutes.




Did I just get laid?

1/14/2009 1:05:21 PM

i think it is tres vaqueros now... i drove by that shopping center the other morning

1/14/2009 1:05:57 PM

^youre right

1/14/2009 1:06:17 PM

that's it! thnx

1/14/2009 1:06:29 PM

its still the same owners though b/c I asked the last time I was in there

I HATE the current owners but the food is ohh so good

1/14/2009 1:07:19 PM

The funniest point was when my buddy asked if he could "Hold on to the menu for a sec" after ordering...

The waiter looked like he thought he was being propositioned for sex.

P.S. I'm an engineer, I am a stop watch.

1/14/2009 1:09:25 PM

i remember that place, and I miss it.

1/14/2009 1:15:47 PM

the best place is la hacienda in high point

1/14/2009 1:17:13 PM

las margaritas is better on hwy 55

1/14/2009 1:19:58 PM

i ate there yesterday

1/14/2009 1:22:41 PM

So was it a fluke or is the service always that good?

1/14/2009 1:59:10 PM

that los tres on maynard has won a lot of local awards for best mexican

1/14/2009 2:01:50 PM

Yeah, it's pretty good. They use a different food distributor than the standard
El Rodeo = El Rodeo = Mexico
the food is the same menu-wise but just slightly different. Don't know if it's a tangible upgrade in quality over the others or if it just seems a bit better because it's slightly different than the rest.

Many menu items have a lot less grease than they do at the other mexican restaurants, maybe that's the difference.

And just as a warning. I got a buy one get one half off coupon in the mail for La Cocina (US64 between Cary and Apex High). Worst mexican ever. The salsa could be best described as an almost spicy ketchup and all their plates were drown in similar red sauce.

Isn't that place actually off Cary Pkwy? I live right there and have been there a couple times and was not impressed with the food, but the service was good.

Is there another one off Maynard that's better? the only one that showed up on Google was the Cary Pkwy one.

DAY TRIP!!!! hahaha That is my favorite place ever. I hope you're talking about the one on South Main in the K-Marks shopping center!!!!!!!!!

1/14/2009 2:25:45 PM

^^The one in question is the one on the corner of Maynard and Kildaire.

[Edited on January 14, 2009 at 2:26 PM. Reason : -]

1/14/2009 2:25:50 PM

^ Odd, on google maps it shows exactly where I know it is, corner of Chapel Hill Rd (54) and cary pkwy. But the address is Maynard. I don't thijnk its correct.

And I'm talking about Los Tres Magueyes.

1/14/2009 2:28:36 PM

^it is on the corner of Chapel Hill and Cary Parkway! That's another location for the restaurant.

It's pretty yummy and has a nice full bar.

1/14/2009 2:29:43 PM

There's one in Wake Forest off Capital Blvd. as well. So that's at least 3 locations.

One time I was in there I overheard some guy saying that they drove all the way up from Charlotte just to eat there. The food is good, but man! And you can't tell me that there isn't a mexican restaurant of similar quality closer to Charlotte.

1/14/2009 2:31:14 PM

I heard there is a new place in downtown Raleigh that's really good. Dos Taquitoes Ex or something like that. Anyone been?

1/14/2009 2:32:51 PM

There is a Dos Taquitos downtown now, but I wouldn't exactly call it new. Jibarra, on the other hand, just opened last week.

1/14/2009 2:35:33 PM

^ Is Jibarra any good? I never heard of it. I would like some good Mexican that's different than all the same old stuff. I like places like El Rodeo and all that, but its nice to have something a step up. There are a few awesome places in Charlotte like Cantina, and there used to be a place called Chicos in cary that was really good. Doesn't seem like there is anything around here thouhg.

1/14/2009 2:37:13 PM

The interior kind of reminds me of that mexican place in chapel hill (except cheaper) off franklin st is it margaritas or something...?

[Edited on January 14, 2009 at 2:39 PM. Reason : really bright colors and carved wood tables chair backs]

1/14/2009 2:38:47 PM

The food at that place is largely indistinguishable from El Dorado.

1/14/2009 2:40:29 PM

well someone told me the dos taquitos down town is totally different that the other dos taquitos, and said it was awesome. I don't know what to believe anymore...

Menus:

Haven't been to either (been to the other Dos Taquitos, though), but I hear Jibarra is fantastic.

cunt host & service staff

overpriced food

i'd rather dip my balls in some rice pudding

1/14/2009 2:54:34 PM

the rice pudding part sounds nice...

I remember the other Dos Taquitos had better than average food but the service really was ass.

1/14/2009 3:01:30 PM

they are always fast!

i love this place and hate mexican food

1/14/2009 3:30:26 PM

la rancherita is dope

1/15/2009 11:15:20 AM

shitting on Dos Taquitos?! what the hell!?!?!?! blasphemy!

love the old and the new


oh and there's El Rodeo Grill on Six Forks...replaced something else that I can't remember. El Rodeo Grill is of no relation to El Rodeo.

[Edited on January 15, 2009 at 11:20 AM. Reason : ]

1/15/2009 11:18:21 AM

oh el rodeo grill is pretty good. i went there the other night but i just don't like their beans.
torreros at millbrook/atlantic is good and they have some cheap beer specials too

1/15/2009 4:42:42 PM

los tres FTW!

1/15/2009 4:45:11 PM

goddamn now i want some fucking flautas

i've never been to los tres....do I have it in me to drive 15 minutes for it?

hmmmm

1/15/2009 4:49:21 PM

Bandido's is far superior to any other Mexican restaurants in the area.

Unfortunately, you've got to go out to Durham/CH to find one of their locations.

1/15/2009 5:26:47 PM

impressive

1/15/2009 5:33:33 PM

Nachos Tapatios please.
