Gringo has some pretty decent tacos by NC standards and really good chips & guac. Questionable taste in interior decorating, but is still a nice spot for lunch and dinner. The $2.50 condiment tray is a veteran move for some nice additions to your tacos.

An institution in the Raleigh food scene, Poole's is chef Ashley Christensen's first restaurant and largely regarded as the best. Great for a date night with a seasonal menu you can read from chalkboards. Does not take reservations, so put your name down and grab a killer cocktail at the bar.

Acme is a little old-school inside but they are inexpensive and fast. I've always had good experiences with the service and they've never mixed up or lost an order.
