Find the Best Crunchwrap Copycat at Durham Restaurant Ex-Voto | Eater Carolinas

"Operating as a booth inside the downtown food hall, this new operation charges about $12 for a Crunchy‑Wrap Supremo that improves on the fast‑food original through superior ingredients and careful preparation. Founded by Angela Salamanca and Marshall Davis (who previously opened North Carolina’s first mezcalería), the menu ranges from chorizo biscuit balls and rompope to take‑home pozole kits and a lineup of burritos and bowls, but the Crunchy‑Wraps—available in vegetarian, Mexican chorizo, and a standout chicken version—are the highlight. The Chicken‑Wrap Supremo is a six‑inch flour tortilla grilled shut with crispy hoop cheese around a central crunchy corn tostada, and the combination of chipotle crema, pico de gallo, queso blanco, pickled jalapeños, and expertly roasted chicken delivers layered heat and flavor; diners can add a regional salsa diabla for extra kick. Heavier and juicier than the chain counterpart, it’s a two‑handed, plate‑worthy meal that reflects the higher price through quality and time invested." - Eric Ginsburg
