La Cuata Mexican Restaurant

I had an awesome meal here today. Somewhat distant relatives of my husband own the place so when his cousin, who’s aunt owns the place, was here visiting, we drove out from Raleigh to see her and her and we all ate at her family’s restaurant. It was the most authentic Mexican food I’ve had outside of Mexico. My husband is from Guadalajara, so I’m accustomed to eating home cooked meals from families in that region and the very casual local eateries the residents frequent and this place is exactly the type of restaurant you’d find there. I read other reviews and have to think they thought they were reviewing a different restaurant and accidentally tagged this one....someone mentioned broccoli and a salad and English on the menu...none were things I saw there. I had a chicken taco and a suegra and they were delicious. I generally stick with water for meals but decided to get agua de Jamaica and it tasted so good I had a refill and a big cup to go. it was definitely worth driving over an hour so we will be going back!

It was pretty good. Definitely a hole-in-the-wall type place. We thought the carne asada could have used more brown bits on the meat. I had very tasty pineapple horchata. Try the green sauce.

Real authentic Mexican food. Service was great and fast. Would definitely go back again

Fresh vegetables, (broccoli not overlooked!)
Friendly service. English spoken & English on the menu.
I asked for a salad and the waitress suggested things to include. Of course, there were plenty of the traditional Mexican-American items on the menu. Or just ask!
Portions were large enough.
Not a new building but a clean one.
