Tacos and queso at Armadillo Grill in Raleigh- NC Triangle DiningĪll-in-all the food at Armadillo Grill is serviceable but best suited for its target audience: college kids and people out late after clubbing.

Thankfully, the basket of chips is substantial and the queso decent which for me becomes the highlight of the meal. And while it tastes ok, the trapped moisture in all the ingredients makes the taco fall apart quickly, boo! The chili taco isn’t bad with more of its filling but nothing too interesting. There’s a good helping of cheese and veggies, but not so much chicken on the first taco. The soft tacos are on flour tortillas and served in aluminum foil which unfortunately, keeps all that heat and liquid trapped. The food takes maybe 5 minutes to come out, quick like a bunny and served on a plastic tray. I self-serve my drink, find some napkins and grab a seat on Armadillo Grill’s small patio. Dining room at Armadillo Grill in Raleigh- NC Triangle Dining I order up two soft tacos (chicken, chili) and add in a basket of chips and queso. Note that each topping is an additional charge-up from. Choose a taco (steak, chicken, chili, beans-cheese, guacamole) with any combo of toppings you’d like (peppers, onions, lettuce, tomato, beans, cheese, guacamole). Inside you’ll find an order area with posted menus, pads of order sheets along with some special combos. Glenwood corridor, Armadillo Grill sports a small fenced in patio up front. So I decided to go back for a re-visit since I had a hankering for some queso! Ordering area at Armadillo Grill in Raleigh- NC Triangle Dining But like all stand-bys, they sometimes get forgotten. With locations in Carrboro and Raleigh, I’ve known about and eaten at the Dillo since I first arrived in the Triangle back in 2005. But before ALL those other places existed, Armadillo Grill has been around serving up its Tex-Mex for years. When you think of Mexican food, you’ve got a lot of choices in Raleigh: Chuy’s, Cantina 18, Centro along with Jose & Sons to name a few.
