"Sanford’s heralded Fonda Lupita, named by Eater as one of the best new restaurants in America in 2021, has opened a second location in Durham’s Brightleaf Square. With this new location, it’s slinging the homestyle tacos that made it famous, like the quesabirria tacos or tacos filled with one of the rotating guisos (homemade meat stews). There's a full bar for those looking to make their taco experience a party and birria ramen for those who might have partied a little too hard the night before." - Matt Lardie
