Tlaquepaque
Tlaquepaque is a Mexican restaurant in Wake Forest located on Capital Blvd that serves traditional Mexican dishes in a clean, well-maintained space. The menu features tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, chimichangas, and other favorites, all prepared with fresh ingredients and served with careful attention to presentation.
The restaurant was founded in 1994 and has been part of the Wake Forest community ever since. The owner wanted to create a place where people could enjoy authentic Mexican dishes in a friendly environment, a mission that continues today.
Tlaquepaque takes its name from a city in Mexico and brings Mexican decorations such as colorful tiles, traditional pottery, and bright fabrics into the dining space. The setting creates a sense of stepping into a piece of Mexico while remaining a welcoming gathering place for the community.
It is best to call ahead if you have a large group, especially during busy lunch times and weekends. Parking is available nearby, and the staff can help accommodate different needs. Additionally, takeout and online ordering options are available for pickup or delivery.
A special attraction at the restaurant is a friendly robot named Bellabot that guests, especially children, can interact with while waiting for their meals. This creates an entertaining element that makes visits particularly memorable.
