Gonza Tacos y Tequila

Located in Waverly Place, Gonza Tacos y Tequila brings award-winning Colombian-Mexican energy to Cary with a full-service dining room splashed in Dia de los Muertos color and relaxed hospitality. Guests settle into booths or the patio for dinner Tuesday through Friday and for brunch-lunch plus dinner on Saturdays, with dine-in service complemented by convenient takeout.

Chef Gonza Salamanca’s menu blends family recipes and street-food flair. Chiles endiablados arrive as bacon-wrapped jalapenos with cream cheese and habanero heat, while the chile-braised short rib tacos layer roasted corn and poblano salsa. The signature Mexican Flag platter stacks steak, chicken, and beans beneath tricolor sauces, and plantain-forward plates and ceviche nod to the restaurant’s Colombian roots.

An extensive tequila selection and handcrafted Latin cocktails headline the bar, backed by mojitos, regional wines, and cold cervezas. Saturday brunch invites guests to linger over tacos, chilaquiles, or enchiladas mole before exploring the shops at Waverly Place. With outdoor seating, private-event friendly hospitality, and a lively soundtrack, Gonza Tacos y Tequila remains a go-to for celebratory dinners and casual meetups alike.
