User Reviews of Armadillo Grill

Yelp.com Review - by Todd B.

4.0 of 5 stars. I'm surprised by all the negative reviews of this place. I really liked the chicken soft tacos I got here. I thought Armadillo Grill was much better than Chipotle or Qdoba. I will probably go back...

3.0 of 5 stars. This is a decent Tex-Mex spot, unfortunately after spending a few years in Texas, I've been a little spoiled. It's a pretty convenient/quick spot. You go in, fill out a sheet with what you want, and...

Yelp.com Review - by John L.

3.0 of 5 stars. A little pricey for what you're getting: I think the burrito cost me around 6ish, if I recall correctly. Of course, I had had a few cold ones, so I wasn't looking for something remarkable at that...

Perfect. Strongly recommend it. Have eaten here many, many times over past 17 years. Food is always delicious, well prepared, and healthy! Prices are surprisingly reasonable, too. Unquestionably, the ...

Yelp.com Review - by Adrienne E.

3.0 of 5 stars. Armadillo Grill is a great place if you're looking for short-order Tex Mex food. It's quick and cheap enough to be a good lunch spot, and they offer a 10% discount to UNC employees (not sure about...

Yelp.com Review - by Christina G.

3.0 of 5 stars. This was a great place for a casual date when I was in college. It's got two stories and even some patio, so there's plenty of space, and the laid-back atmosphere and low price-point certainly don't...

Your typical burrito joint

Armadillo grill is right down the street from a local favorite, Carrburritos, and while it doesn't offer quite the extravagance in either fillings or salsa, its convenience makes up for those failings. There...

4.0 of 5 stars. The Dillo is a great place for a quick, tasty Tex-Mex meal - I came here often with friends in college. I particularly enjoy the chalupas - yum. Salsa from the salsa bar is very good, and an order of...

4.0 of 5 stars. Good tex mex fare. The burritos are big and the chips and salsa is tasty. Their burritos are at least as good as Chipotle, probably better. The queso on their burritos probably put them over the...

Worst food ever

I ate at the restaurant the other night and found a huge piece of trash in my food. When I complained to the manager, they called the police on me. The service was completely rude. If you like to eat trash...

Tex Mex in Blue Heaven

Best deal around for tex-mex food. Their salsa and fresh tortillas are awesome. Order the chicken enchilada plate, chips and queso, and a Corona and kick back with some friends.

Super Tasty Tex-Mex

For a wonderfully inexpensive southwestern style meal, you can't go wrong with Armadillo Grill. My favorite is the chicken enchilada plate, but I really haven't found anything I don't like. This is my fave...

Fresh, Tasty

The food is well made, fresh and tasty. Just a couple of minutes after you put your order in at the register your food is ready. You can sit inside, upstairs, down stairs or at an outside patio area. I highly recommend Armadillo Grill and I usually eat there every week or so.

I would be in bliss if I could have the Armadillo grill guacomole and a soft bean burrito every day. Though my friend raves about the steak fajitas, and another about the chicken enchiladas. We come at least a...

I've only eaten at this restaurant twice in my entire life. Both times, they screwed up my order. The first time, they gave us the wrong stuff. However, they gave us free food to make up for it. The s...

A great place

I think that the Armadillo Grill is a great place to go for the tacos. Two tacos and an order of nacho chips, washed down with a beer is a tasty inexpensive meal. Their ingredients are fresh and tasty, and...

Not for me

Lots of my friends love this place, but I just do not. I think that I don't like the flavoring in the meat. The atmosphere is good, and the location is great if you are looking for somewhere to eat ...

We went here a while ago, and, all in all, it proved to be a pleasant experience. The atmosphere was homely and the enchiladas were great. Service was average, but no complaints. Some of the nachos...

Taco Salad? Try again!

Gosh, if you're looking for a taco salad, go back to Taco Bell, but if you're looking for the best tacos, fajitas, soft tacos, guacamole, salsa, burritos, etc., this is your place. The food is a fresh as can...

cheap for a reason

I got a chicken taco salad and it was pretty crappy--just a bunch of shredded iceberg lettuce over some tortila chips really. I don't know about anything else on their menu, but I was not impressed at all.
