Popped into this restaurant for a solo dinner because it was conveniently located on the ground level of the same building that holds the Aloft Hotel, but couldn’t have gotten a more interesting meal if I had driven miles to eat. The Colombian Sushi appetizer...was a rich and smokey chorizo sausage wrapped in a flour tortilla, sliced in discos and sauced to resemble a sliced sushi roll. The sausage was fabulous. Lacko tacos were tasty little numbers of short rib and street corn salad/salsa. Don’t forget to save room for a talega for dessert. Washed it all down with a couple of tasty margaritas. Can’t wait to go back so I can try more of the menu.More

Brought my girlfriend here on the 27th for an early birthday celebration and WOW. The ceviche was outstanding, the drinks were to die for and the tacos were mouth watering. Above all, Nicole was the most attentive, friendly, and upbeat server. Will definitely be back...regularly.More

This is a great place with you are looking for Mexican food that’s a little different than all other Mexican places. We have a limited menu compare to all other Mexican places. All their tacos taste great and are served with a side of your...choice. The ambiance in the restaurant is a little different and they have an outdoor seating area.More

If you like your favorite Mexican food place where you know you want the number 8 or the number 11, you can skip Gonza Tacos y Tequila and head there, instead. If you want to try out Gonza Tacos y Tequila, you'll probably find that...the food is above average in its quality and preparation. Whether that's a movement from a 7 at your favorite place and now an 8 at Gonza Tacos y Tequila or an 8 at your favorite place and a 6 here, or some other function is hard to say, but the prices here are high. I had three small tacos that each took four bites to eat and paid $15 plus tip and tax. So, that was $1 per small bite. Service was excellent, though.More

Amazing food and service, I wish I could give them more stars. Our server was so knowledgeable about tequila and made creating a flight so easy. The pastor tacos were warm fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back.

This is the best place for tacos in Wake Forest. Their tacos are great. I’ve tried numerous tacos and they were tasty. They usually have a different taco del chef everyday - sometimes weird ones but they are tasty. You can easily fill up here...because they give you a bowl of chips and salsa. The food is served quickly after ordering. I would suggest making reservations if you go on Friday or Saturday evening.More

My daughter and I dined at Gonza Tacos just before Thanksgiving and found the food excellent. I had the Chicken Quesadilla Dinner and it was excellent. The service there was also very good even though they had a packed house the night we were there.

Very good food, great service, short wait, but... it is extremely noisy. Especially so if seated near a boisterous group. We (group of four) had to move to a booth in order to be able to hold a conversation.

So, you walk in it’s pretty dark and oddly enough it reminds you of a dance club with mannikins on swings at the bar and pictures everywhere. You get seated with a view of the patio and past that the parking lot. Once you get...you me menus you can barely read your menu (lacking in details anyways) but, you manage to read a menu mostly comprised of a wide variety of tacos and some speciality items. You order.... your appetizer of queso is so, spicy that it makes your nose run and your five year old won’t touch it after it burns his mouth. The main course of chicken tacos is bland and the meat is cold in the middle still from being nuked but, the Mexican flag enchiladas are actually good but, almost too spicy to eat. I would never go back. The atmosphere was really cool looking but, it ended up being disappointed.More

The pastor tacos were great! The pork was nicely seasoned and the other ingredients were fresh. Chips and salsa were also fresh and tasty. My margarita was great, too!
