As a person that has tried many a burritos in my short lifespan, I would say I am happy to have had the pleasure of eating their delicious burrito! Brings back nostalgia that I had forgotten about. My guests enjoyed their foods, as did I. The only issue I had was my burrito was on the saltier side and my beer was warm. I will definitely be coming back.
Absolutely loved my chicken burrito and the chips with salsa. The service was fast, the prices reasonable, and the food tasted so fresh. The margarita wasn't my favorite (too sweet) but reasonably priced!
First time it was kinda tricky to find (poor signage, upstairs).Inside is a quirky grill restaurant with a rooftop patio. The place just exudes character.Then we got our food. I got a chimichanga, others in our party got burritos. They were... large. Like you should plan on taking some home with you. Either that or else living with the regret that comes with eating three pounds of food in one sitting (I chose the latter).It wasn't hands down the best food I've had, but it was really good. And you absolutely cannot beat the value.I know I'll be coming back.
Cosmic has been a favorite spot of mine since 2000. Their burritos are filling, have great flavor, and fresh ingredients. I always get the vegetarian with chips and salsa. This location is directly off the road and at the top of a stairwell, so you may have to look for it (those who know where it is, know).Go hear if you want a quick, casual meal, are looking for flavor and freshness without a high cost, and want a chill spot.
I truly don’t want this to be a negative review for Cosmic Cantina, because I really like this place! Google needs me to give a star rating, so I’m going to give it one star for the last experience I had here, which was objectively not great. Like I said, I really like this place. It’s been one of our favorite spots since moving here about 6 months ago. You can eat cheaply and it’s consistently tasty! Admittedly, my husband and I probably order take out a couple times (or more) a month. They have a super easy online ordering system and our hot, yummy food is usually ready when we get there to grab it. This past Thursday was very different. I arrived to pick up my order when I was told it would be ready, per the online system. The place was packed. I hadn’t seen it so busy. When I get to the counter, the guy tells me 5 minutes. When I’ve worked in service, we often pushed those orders through to make sure we made that “5 minute” promise. Maybe he didn’t know how long it would take, and that’s fine. Honestly, if he had said, “We’re a bit behind give us 25 minutes.” (that’s how long I stood there, after being told 5 minutes), I would have had my husband park and come up for a beer. That would have been a more enjoyable experience than idly standing there watching the young gal behind the counter cough into her hand several times, proceed to touch her face a bunch, and snack on chips and guacamole all while intermittently handing over food and ramekins of salsa to customers… not once did she wash her hands. Gross.
Good food. However, prices are not updated in the website. Amount of food is also good for only one meal, so leftover lovers beware. I also had to look up the ingredients of the food online. We had an allergen scare. Everyone else loves this place so you'll probably love it too.
FIIIIIRE, so good. thoughtful packaging, amazing taste, rad atmosphere
Amazing place! Cooler environment, spectacular food. Cheap beer. This place can get understandably very busy, but the quality and quantity of the food vs the price makes it extremely worth it. A Must check out if you're in Durham. The locals know this place is a staple of the area.
One of our favorite restaurants. We make the drive from Raleigh at least once a week to come here. The food is so good and cheap. Their chicken in particular, I don’t know what they do to it, but it’s delicious. We get a burrito, a quesadilla, chips, queso, guacamole, and a margarita all for about $35. Can’t be beat. Come during the off hours to get food faster, if you come during busy hours you can easily wait thirty minutes for food instead of five because they get really busy.
Man this place is so great for Mexican food. Probably best and Cheapest family run Mexican Restaurant in Durham behind the giant La Cocina in Durham. Y’all make some great food and make the garbage Mexican restaurant beside my house look like a toxic waste lol. The taco is good too they have. For 4 people we paid around $35 which is a really good deal!!!
