Are you serious?  One of the most disgusting meals I've had in Chapel 
Hill was at that place.  I probably won't, but assuming I just got the 
wrong thing (beef burrito) and I ever decided to go back, what would I 
get there that isn't disgusting?

I like Lime and Basil.  A lot actually.  Good quality to price ratio.  I 
tried Panang a couple of times when it first opened, and consistenly 
felt like I was paying $17 entree prices for $8 entree quality.  I never 
had anything particularly awful, but never had anything particularly 
great, either, which at those prices, is just downright disappointing. 
Their location in NYC was amazing 8 years ago, so I was kind of excited 
when they opened here.

I had a good recent experience at Talulahs'.  A very good lamb kebab. 
They are pricy, for me anyway, so I won't be going there often, but I 
did enjoy it.

That african/ethiopian place in downtown durham is decent and cheap, 
from what I can remember from going there about a year ago.
