Review by Nicola O'Hara

September 30, 2024

Centro is a cozy gem in downtown Raleigh! šŸŒ®

I recently visited with friends and couldn't resist the delicious chips and guacamole trio - they were fantastic! The steak taco I tried was perfectly tender and flavorful, though the chicken taco fell a bit short. Despite the price point being on the higher side, the vibrant atmosphere and fast service made it worthwhile.

Don't skip dessert! The sweet potato was a hit too. Just a heads-up, the place is narrow but has lovely outdoor seating. Overall, Iā€™d rate it a solid experience! šŸŒŸ
