Los Tres Magueyes

Cary, NC


Summary
Would we go there again: Yes

Pretty much your run-of-the-mill American Mexican restaurant. The food was good, the service was acceptable, and the atmosphere was decent. It wouldn't be our favorite restaurant, but we'd go there again with family.

Comments & Ratings
Tim's Comments: This is my grandparents' favorite local Mexican restaurant. We ate here with them on our last day in North Carolina. One interesting thing is that the only tables they had big enough for our group of six were in the smoking section, but nobody lit up while we were there, so it wasn't a problem.

Jeni's Comments: It's your typical Mexican restaurant. Nothing very memorable.
