" The while inside Cosmic Cantina is a delightful surprise! Despite the slightly awkward entrance, the atmosphere inside is vibrant and energetic with local art everywhere. The food was phenomenal. I had the chicken quesadilla, and it was mouthwatering. Generous portions make it excellent value. Plus, they serve margaritas which were refreshing. A great find for anyone in Durham; I'll be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was a bit skeptical coming here due to all the rave reviews, but Cosmic Cantina surprised me! The atmosphere is laid-back and comfortable. I had the chicken nachos, and let me tell you, they were delicious! The portions were huge – definitely enough to share with a friend. The staff was friendly too. I'll be back for sure!

" My husband and I visited Cosmic Cantina on a whim, and we're so glad we did! The burrito we shared was massive and flavorful, and I absolutely loved the fresh ingredients. The environment is super welcoming, which made our dining experience enjoyable. I'd recommend getting there early if you don't want to wait for a table since it can fill up quickly, especially on weekends. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is always my go-to for a hearty late-night meal. Cosmic Cantina never disappoints with their gigantic burritos and good prices. The atmosphere really adds to the experience with its college vibes and murals everywhere. I do wish they had more seating options since it can get crowded. Nevertheless, love this spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been enjoying Cosmic Cantina for years; It's a place where you can expect quantity and quality with reasonable prices. The burritos are colossal and come with complimentary chips and salsa. The wait staff are friendly, and I generally enjoy my time here. If you're going during peak hours, be prepared for a wait but know it’s worth it in the end! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're a burrito lover, Cosmic Cantina has to be on your radar. I had the steak burrito, and holy moly, it was packed with flavor! The bean-to-rice ratio was perfect and the portion size was impressive. The staff were super friendly and efficient too. I can't wait to come back and try their quesadillas next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot stress how delicious the food is at Cosmic Cantina. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, which makes it an enjoyable spot to hang out with friends. I tried their famous burrito, and it was massive! Plenty of options for vegetarians too. Just beware that the line can get long, especially late at night, so be patient! " (*Curated Review*)
