Welcome To Cosmic Cantina

Cosmic Cantina was first introduced to me soon after Burrito Blog's inception. There are three locations: Union Square in Manhattan (Map), Durham, NC (Map), and Chapel Hill, on the UNC Campus (Map).

This place boasts organic burritos. I suppose I can't argue with that.

They steam their tortillas like Anna's Taqueria, Boca Grande, and others, but then they wrap them in foil and put them on the stove for a little burnt flavor. It's interesting.

The New York location has a liquor license, which is nice, and has a bar-ish atmosphere to it. Here's the secret sauce: the NYC Cosmic Cantina closes at 5am.

Loved Cosmic in Durham when I was in grad school there. Great quality, great variety, awesome atmosphere.

Cosmic Cantina, Durham is where it's at. Awesome back porch, cheap drinks, and beans to go around. How could you go wrong? However, it's only one of an endless variety of local, independent Durham taquerias.

I must agree with everyone. The Durham Cosmic Cantina is the best Cosmic. Not only are the prices absolutely reasonable. I can tell that the NYC one wasn't the 'real' deal by looking at the pictures. The Durham Cosmic Cantina burritos are even wrapped and stuffed differently. Dude, you've got to come to Durham to experience Cosmic for real.
