The menu leans playful and globally inspired. Favorites include chorizo-stuffed egg rolls, chile lime chicken tacos and tuna poke nachos—but the standout may well be the braised Korean brisket taco, a rich and flavorful twist that perfectly captures the “Mexanese” ethos. Dishes are designed to be shared, explored and revisited often.
One of the more whimsical touches is Wong’s monthly special—WTF: Wong’s Taco Feature—where the kitchen dreams up unexpected new combinations with international flair. “It keeps our team creative and our regulars curious,” says Tsui. “It’s about having fun with food and not taking ourselves too seriously.”
That ethos extends beyond the dining room. Wong’s Tacos is positioned to be as comfortable a choice for weekday business lunches as it is for weekend family dinners. Catering services are also available, making it easy to bring the restaurant’s signature flavor to events and gatherings throughout the Triangle.
The Glenlake opening comes at a time of significant growth for the area, which continues to evolve as a destination for dining and retail. For Tsui and his team, the decision to plant roots here was as much about community as it was about opportunity. “We’ve been looking for the right fit in Raleigh for some time,” he says. “When we saw Glenlake, we knew this was it.”
