at Pancho Villa's door! The place is amazing! We moved from LA to Cary in Dec 07 and have been to many a restaurant looking for something that resembles what we know as Mexican food.
Pancho Villa's Mexican Grill is operated by people who moved here from LA and couldn't find any good restaurants. So they opened their own; let's give them a round of applause! (I'm probably more happy about this than I need to be, but it's just like the place we used to walk to in LA. Actually, do I dare say it...this place is better than our ol'stand-by in LA!)
We had dinner there last night (tortas-al pastor and milanesa, sopes, made to order guacamole and platanos fritos) and lunch there today (torta-al pastor, huevos rancheros and more made to order guacamole).
I could go on and on, but I won't. Please go experience it for yourselves. It's sooo good! And how did I find this gem, you ask? Restaurant.com had a special on coupons. I purchased a $10 coupon good off a bill of at least $20 and since I used a code, the coupon was around $2! You can use these coupons just once a month, but since we ate there twice in less than 24 hours (and brought friends there today), the coupon did it's job of bringing the restaurant some new business. (I'm rambling, but it's just so good and I kinda miss El Segundo right now and the humidity is killing me so maybe my brain is melting...)
Ok, the details:
Pancho Villa's

Cary 27511
919-468-2022

When you order, tell Luis (the guy from LA) that Rachel and Michael sent you. I was seriously ga-ga over the place and told him I was going to tell everyone I knew about it! And hey, when you go, if there's a woman sitting in the corner with guacamole and a silly grin, say hi, it might be me!
Getting kidnapped, eh? Sure sounds like an unusual arrangement, one other than just a recommendation of a mexican restaurant. I don't buy it. Sorry. I could be wrong, but no thanks.
best,

You could always search by the poster's name to check their other posts to determine the validity of a post...I like to go out to eat and I don't work at Dallas Chicken Biscuits, Little Tokyo or any of the other places I've posted about.
Also I'm a coupon fanatic so I was just sharing that tidbit about Restaurant.com so others could save a few bucks too. And no, I don't work for them either. And...I've posted about coupons before.
Thanks, I will check it out. My daughter can't wait to go with her friends and I love your enthusiasm. I get like that when I find a great new place to eat or shop at.
I've met both Petunia and Pepito's Mommie and can vouch that they are real and this was no advertisement! We had a CD meetup in May '08, 3 weeks after I moved here and they are both lovely. Ask Mike Jaquish...he was there.
