    If you’re anywhere near Smithfield, NC and you don’t stop at Aye Guey Modern Mexican Cuisine, you’re doing life wrong. This place is flat-out fantastic, a perfect balance of bold flavors, modern vibe, and legit hospitality that makes you feel like you just discovered the area’s next big food obsession. The food? Unreal. Every plate comes out looking like it’s auditioning for a magazine cover, and then the first bite hits you with layers of flavor that prove this kitchen isn’t just cooking, they’re crafting. The tortillas are on point, the protein is perfectly seasoned, and the salsas have that “wake up your taste buds” kick without blowing them off your face. The drinks deserve their own spotlight. The margaritas are smooth, bright, and dangerously easy to keep ordering. Not sugary, not artificial, just clean, crisp, and exactly what you want with authentic modern Mexican cuisine. Inside, the atmosphere is vibrant without being loud, cool, modern, and stylish, but with that welcoming energy that makes you want to stay for another round. The staff is on it from the moment you sit down. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely proud of what they serve, which they should be. Bottom line: Aye Guey is the real deal. This is the place you bring friends to impress, the place you detour for on road trips, and the place you’ll crave again the moment you leave. Smithfield didn’t just get another restaurant, they got a destination. Do not sleep on this spot. Go. Order. Enjoy. And thank me later...

    Omg the food was excellent, I’m from the north east and I wish we had one up north. We had a big party of 12 and the service was very good and the food was served quickly. Everyone enjoyed their dish. My drink was great

    Server was outstanding to start, they slowly went downhill. Unfortunately if you have eaten at other Mexican restaurants, the food is bland. The steak was very dry, no seasoning. Rice was, not bad. Both dishes looked fancy, but lacked in seasoning and flavor.

    Really nice atmosphere. I think they did a very good job with the aesthetics and layout. The food was great. The Jalisco Steak was very good. Shrimp didn't really taste like anything but go figure that's shrimp for you. Kids enjoyed there meals as well. Very large menu so be prepared to be conflicted about what you want to try next. I look forward to going back.
