Blowfish - Raleigh

TERRIBLE. This was a pork belly taco. It tasted awful. Like BBQ’d lard. Literally the quesadilla and chicken taco was gross too. The queso seemed to be a purred bean base with some nacho cheese. I’ve ordered a lot of food and this was the worst.wish I could give 0 stars.

I was in town for just one night and decided to check this place out. Wow, I highly recommend it! The pork belly tacos are absolutely amazing! Sarah, who served me at the bar, also makes an excellent margarita. It was a Wednesday night, so the place was quite quiet, but I was genuinely impressed by the hospitality I received from Sarah and the entire staff as an "out-of-towner." I will definitely be coming back!

I discovered this restaurant while walking back to the Hampton Inn from the parking garage. My colleagues had mentioned how vibrant the area gets in the evenings, but I was just looking for a quick dinner before heading to bed. I’m a big fan of fish tacos, and the chalkboard menu outside really caught my attention. The bartender, Sarah A., was not only friendly but also quite attractive. Alejandro was hosting a Hammered Trivia night, which looked like a lot of fun—if I didn't have to wake up so early for work, I would have definitely stayed for the Taco Tuesday festivities! If you're in the area, it's worth a stop. They have a limited bar menu, but it has just the right selections.

I highly recommend this place—definitely a 10 out of 10! The food, music, service, and atmosphere were all fantastic. I will definitely make a stop here on my next trip to downtown Raleigh.

Definitely a go to in downtown Raleigh! I can't say enough about the wonderful atmosphere, the amazing staff and the delicious food. First time there and it definitely won't be my last! Steak taco was my favorite and the Mahi was my second. Come check them out. I promise you, they won't disappoint!
