"I'm really hoping we just had a bad experience, but we went to virgils for raleigh restaurant week. They were supposed to have a fixed menu for the event, but that was not offered nor could we find mention of it at the restaurant. When we arrived it, we were immediately greeted by what smelled like burnt paella. We asked the waitress what it was and she was unsure but agreed it was not normal. We ordered drinks, a mezcal and a oaxacan old fashioned. Both tasted mildly watered down, but were otherwise okay. We ordered the chips and queso, but were not aware nor informed that they put sugar on their chips instead of salt. This was really bizarre to me, but we tried it. Not really my bag, and wouldn't order them again. Then we tried the sopes. The masa base was great, the sauce provided was delicious, but the meat was incredibly dry. The meat being this dry didn't totally ruin the plate, but it did deduct from what was obviously a great dish when the pieces were all put together properly. We had planned to eat more, possibly trying the tacos, but at this point we were just not satisfied with what was presented. At this time I wouldn't recommend, but, as I said, maybe it was just a bad experience."
