Virgil's Original Taqueria - Raleigh

The best margarita in Raleigh! Virgil’s is a 10/10 vibe and really great food can’t recommend it enough!

Not really sure where some of the negative ratings are coming. Wife and I had wanted to go for awhile and finally got the chance. I came away very impressed. Got there a little before 6pm, so it wasn't busy yet. Sat at the bar and both the bartender and the chef were very nice. We got a few orders of tacos (al pastor, pescado and no pales), plus a quesadilla. All were top notch. It's a small thing, but the sour cream that came with the quesadilla was really good. Either my palette is juvenile, or they source good quality sour cream. As much as we liked the food, the drinks were even better. I had a few cocktails and my wife had a margarita. Mine were delicious and I'll definitely be back to get drinks. A couple had a nice tiki vibe to them, which I enjoyed.

Very accommodating place! Was able to sit right away. Servers were very attentive and provided great service. Highly recommend anything on the menu. Drinks were also made 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!
