Gonza Tacos y Tequila – Wake Forest

Gonza Tacos y Tequila sits on South Main Street in Wake Forest and calls itself the town’s tacos y tequila joint. The kitchen cooks Colombian-Mexican food, with the founders’ Colombian background running through a menu of tacos and Mexican specialties.

The bar is the other half of the appeal. Latin cocktails are made by hand, the tequila and regional spirits list runs long, and the wine and beer selections lean Latin as well. It is part of an award-winning group with restaurants elsewhere in the Triangle.
