Gonza Tacos y Tequila – Cary

Gonza Tacos y Tequila has a Cary location at New Waverly Place, and it calls itself North Carolina’s Colombian-Mexican tacos y tequila joint. The food is comfort cooking drawn from both countries, and the kitchen has won awards for it.

The bar is as much of a draw as the kitchen here. Tequila is the anchor, and the drinks list runs well past the usual few bottles. It is the kind of place where a group can settle in for a while and work through a few plates from the menu together.
