It was my first time here! I am very pleased. A great afternoon quick bite stop or fun with family or a group. When you eat with Armadillios, you are served generous portions, quality meats, and great flavor. The chicken and beef both have rich Tex-Mex flavor. Beef spices to die for. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Nice blonde girl at the register. Great food preparation by the Hispanic females on the line. While Tex-Mex is sometimes seen as less authentic Hispanic food. I am happy to see these Latin workers at this location marrying the two styles. Authenticity comes from the people who prepare and think about our meal. I appreciate their warm smiles. I smile. ☺️🫡 A casual environment kept very tidy. Open first floor. Handicap accessable, I believe, with windows. While I did not go to the 2nd floor. My imagination runs wild thinking of possibilities for such a place. Family dinners, celebrations, company lunches. This is the kind of place I will frequent for my gringo cravings! I love hard shell tacos. But, I love it all so much. Thanks Team Armadillo! I feel the love in Carrboro NC. Right back at you!

Cool place to eat, good service and food. Parking in the back with outdoor and upstairs seating. The Texas Slaw is banging!

We were regular visitors of AG in Raleigh. We have missed it since that location closed. We drove almost an hour to the Carboro location. We were well pleased that the food was consistent with what we had come to expect. The service was nice too.

Great food and wonderful outdoor seating. And they have Cheerwine!

Amazing food, chicken was moist and cooked just right mixed great with the taco and cheese. Steak had a slight char to it that really enhanced the taco and gave a great crunch. Queso went very well with the chips.

The food is always good, but this time around it was too loud for my liking. I'm not upset with the patrons as it was the weekend and they deserve to enjoy a fun time, but with my tinitis,it was too much for me. Oh well. The chips and guacamole were worth it.

Delicious bean and cheese taco and chips and queso. Very relaxed, friendly atmosphere and self-service beverages. Great location.

Armadillo Grill is hands down my favorite spot for Affordable Mexican food. The food is always delicious and they have very addictive queso. The casual, laid-back vibe makes it perfect whether you’re grabbing a quick bite, meeting friends, or craving late-night eats. The staff is always friendly and quick, and the prices are super reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. I especially love how consistent everything is — every time I go, I know I’m going to leave happy and full.

I've been eating at armadillo grill for 25 years now. It's been my favorite spot since high school. Now I live out of town, so every time I'm back to visit, I always eat here. Food is delicious, and I love the home made tortillas! Absolutely recommend!

The chilli nachos were very tasty. Our table definitely preferred it over the chicken nachos (which were a but bland). The taco was subpar and, given the price, I wouldn't recommend it. The food came fast and the vibe is great! So, 4 stars instead of 3.

Typical tex mex fare in a very casual setting. The queso is excellent and the salsa or hot sauce bar is a nice touch.

The woman working the front desk is an angel!! She is so nice and friendly. The menu ordering system is SUPER confusing and the prices are outdated. Just go to the cash and talk to the person at the front to figure out what you want. The food is super okay. Not much flavour honestly. Guac is missing acidity and freshness. Burrito was $12 for nothing special, not even a toasted tortilla. Chips weren’t salted enough. Zero spice. Queso in the burrito was not commendable. Just really average for a $18 meal. Nice seating options

Good food and the upstairs was warm and cozy. Downstairs noisy and cold. The paper order was confusing and they stick that credit card invoice in front of you asking for a tip... I tipped well but found out there was no service. I carried my food upstairs and had to go back down to get more drink.. and they expect you to clear the table. Rediculous for expensive casual food.

It's clean and the food was edible. That being said there are far too many better options near by, where you can get better food in a more comfortable space.

Looking forward to good Mexican food! Unfortunately it did not happen. No Margaritas on Saturday evening Dec 23rd make 3 mistakes with taking order then when I picked up my order the chicken wings were buffalo instead of barbeque. I would not recommend eating here . Keep walking there are many more places that serve fantastic food this is not one of them! .
