In Short
Just around the corner from Ninth Street, head up the stairs, toward the noise. On warm days, take advantage of the off-street back patio at this no-frills eatery. All the basics are served: burritos, tacos, quesadillas,… Read Full Editorial
Cosmic Disaster!!!!!!! by Lips with truth via Citysearch on 3/24/2012
The food is bland, they charge a ridiculous fee for avocado and the place is dirty

Cheap, bland food; pleasant atmosphere. by culurienneldoreth via Citysearch on 1/13/2010
Cosmic Cantina offers cheap, huge burritos. You could split one with a friend, or, if you finish one yourself, be completely stuffed. You can alter yours to be vegetarian or vegan. They taste OK, nothing special. And if you care about…
Best Late Night Food by CatHoward5 via Menuism on 9/14/2009
If you can maneuver the narrow staircase to the second floor at 2:00 am, Cosmic is the best late night food...
Condemn as a foreign policy gesture by durhamexan via Citysearch on 3/6/2009
The Cosmic Cantina is a sham, a travesty, an abomination and a crime against humanity. The restaurant (does it earn that title?) should be condemned as a gesture to our neighbors to the south. I've had some terrible imitation Mexican fare…
It is not just about the burittos by Jill D via Insider Pages on 1/6/2009
Most people will talk about their burritos, but please do not ignore the rest of their menu. Burritos are great, but they have so much more to offer besides their giant burritos. I personally love their tacos with black beans and chicken.…
No confusion. Cheap, tasty food. by Silas S via Insider Pages on 10/9/2008
Cosmic Cantina, a little hole-in-the-wall above Perry St. in Durham, is one of those places you miss when you're not in town. It's in a studio-loft space on the second floor with a back deck in a quasi-urban area, and it's almost tough to…
Huge Portions by Stephanie S via Insider Pages on 5/27/2008
There are a few reasons why I really like Cosmic Cantina the portions are huge, the food is so so inexpensive and their open until like 3am on Saturday night.
Not what I expected by Karim _ via Insider Pages on 12/23/2007
So I heard the Cosmic Cantina had the best Mexican food in Chapel Hill. That is far from true. The food is average and service was far from what I expected. We got there and it took a while for the hostess to greet us and seat us. Then…
Cheap Eats by Kareema M via Insider Pages on 12/12/2007
This is a great spot to get authentic mexican food at a cheap price. When I'm low on money I take my kids here. The portions are very hefty so it's easy to share. One can easily feed a family of 5 for under $15. I also like that they offer…
Better than any chain in the Triangle! by raleigh_grrl via Citysearch on 9/27/2007
Please don't listen to the reviewer who recommends two *chain* restaurants instead of this kooky, eclectic, awesome restaurant tucked away on 9th street. I can't think of a better place to grab a steak burrito at 1:30 in the morning, when…
Bland Mexican food, Watered down salsa by gsharp247 via Citysearch on 9/11/2007
Bland, uninteresting flavors catered to an audience unaccustomed to real Mexican food. I grew up in New Mexico and Los Angeles, so I know Mexican food and this place leaves much to be desired. Aside from that, the tables and floors were…
I'm missing why it's supposed to be so good by tdotson via Citysearch on 5/21/2007
We went to Cosmic Cantina for the first time today. I expected it to be kind of a dump and it was, and that's not a "charming, fun" dump, just a plan, dark space, although it was late afternoon and desolate. Staff were not friendly.…
best burritos in NC by zdevil via Citysearch on 4/13/2007
a Durham classic. not to be missed. I think the veggie burritos are the best. don't go for grande unless you're sharing with 3 people.
GREAT Food, but watch out for the flies by chrisve via Citysearch on 2/21/2007
GREAT Food-- I recommend getting it to go because the building is a dump and the restaurant is a fly trap. Flies and all, it's still worth it.
FROM TJ ALL THE WAY TO DURHAM by lala146 via Citysearch on 11/19/2006
THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE CANTINA, L- BACK. NO NEED TO GET ALL DRESSED UP. CASUAL\r
APPLYS HERE. THE FOOD IS ALWAYS FRESH. I HAVE EATEN HERE AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES,\r
AND NEVER ONCE HAVE I EVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED. THE PORTIONS ARE HARDY,…
Yummy burritos! by llooper via Citysearch on 11/9/2006
I've been to the Cosmic Cantina a couple of times now, and enjoyed my veggie burritos a lot each time! They even madethem without the tortilla for me the second time, in an effort to save a few calories. The prices are good for the amount…
A Durham experience you can't miss by simul via Citysearch on 9/8/2006
Cosmic Cantina turns out consistent delicous food at great prices. Combine that with a funky open mic Lounge, an outdoor patio, a few beers and some interesting conversation.
Amazing Burrito's, Fun Hangout by alisongreenwood via Citysearch on 8/31/2006
I absolutely love Cosmic Cantina whether it's 2pm or 3:30am. I used to take my parents and visiting friends there all the time and everyone has loved it. It does get crowded a peak hours so go for a later lunch/early dinner at like…
durham gem by hdevil via Citysearch on 8/13/2006
cosmic has a suprisingly large mix of delicious, cheap food. the burritos are huge, the quesadeas gooey and wonderful, the nachos are loaded fabulously. my favorite are the salads- huge mixes of the grilled chicken or steak, fresh beans,…
