One Fish Taco
Ingrid J.

Okay, tacos were absolutely FIRE. There's a reason why there's a line! The tacos were tasty and fresh. You absolutely have to get the limeade. I got two of them! However, the Taos small and expensive. 5.75 for one small fish taco. It can absolutely get pricey and adds up quick. Casual quick place to get a bite with kind service. I will be back.

Chips and Queso
Adrian M.

Ordered the Brussel Sprouts, Carne Asada, and Carnitas tacos, and none of them disappointed! My favorite was probably the Carnitas with their hint of cinnamon (don't knock til you try it!), but honestly they're all good! Chips and queso were on point too! Found this spot on Yelp (thanks for the assist!) LOVE YELP!

Order window

One of the best taco spots I've ever had in NC! Always hesistant about tacos after growing up in Texas, but this place passed the test for sure! Super fast service, super passionate about what they do, and it reflects in the flavor! The vibes were also exactly what you wanted it to be for a taco spot.

Ordering process Awful Mid service break awful Micro greens is not a replacement for cilantro Your fish taco was a tadpole or a very tiny fish. Only one piece of mushroom for my taco. There was a lot of people waiting a very long time to order and get their food. The business was not prepared for the crowd. We went back to order something else and they were closed, they took a mid break. A lot of lost business due to them closing early for a break, they hadn't been open too long and the people kept coming with such disappointment of them being closed. This could have been an awesome place to eat this day but when you open and run out of food it makes no sense. This business is established and should always be prepared especially when people are looking forward to the special food (Vegan) you make and people love eating, there is not too many places that we can go for this special treat. My nachos were awesome, I truly would order them again. Hope the next time I come back we have a better experience.

Chicken nachos, asada and chicken tacos.

My wife and I love this place! It's literally an order window connected to Satellite Bar and Lounge in Wilmington. The ingredients are super fresh, extremely tasty, and the nachos, especially with chicken, are outstanding. The atmosphere, service, and location make this place. Awesome. My favorite part is there is a toppings bar right next to the order window so that you can add, some accoutrements or hot sauce to your order. Again, I love this place.

Cute signage

You need tacos after a few beers, right? We were psyched that right around the corner from New Anthem Beer Project was this little taco window attached to another bar. It had a really cute look with lots of pretty plants and bright colors. There's some outdoor seating but you can also order to-go or eat in the bar. The small menu consisted of gourmet tacos around $4 each and a few other items. We tried 3 tacos: The Carnitas taco (Braised Pork Shoulder rubbed in coffee, cinnamon and brown sugar, topped with fresh pico de gallo). The Fish taco (Local caught Fresh Fillets fried in a light and crispy Tempura Batter. Topped with slaw, pico de gallo and smoked poblano crema). The Asada taco (Charbroiled Skirt Steak, seasoned with chile butter, served traditionally with fresh cilantro and white onion). My husband and I both got a fish taco, and agreed it was the best. There is nothing better than seafood from a beach town, so fresh tasting and just a light batter for some crunch. The crema was also delicious. The carnitas was a bit sweet for me and felt it needed a sauce. The steak in the asada was on point, cooked tender and well-seasoned, just felt the taco needed more than just white onion. I would also say the tacos are on the small side for their price. We also got some of their Chips and Guacamole. The corn tortilla chips were perfectly fried and the guacamole was very creamy. I liked the texture of their chips a lot as they were a little heavier than standard Mexican restaurant fare. A great unexpected find for taco lovers!

Horchata
John B.

The tacos are available at a window on the sidewalk. Walking inside the building leads to a bar, which is separate, but they appear to have effectively shared their space with the taco joint. There were also some chairs on the sidewalk. They had a respectable vegetarian (nay, vegan) selection. The brussels sprout taco of such repute wasn't transcendent, but it did have nicely sauteed sprouts and an abundant variety of flavors. The fried buts of mushroom in the other were indulgent. Both tacos had ample garnishes and double layered tortillas; however the hot sauce I asked for I didn't seem to get. They had a green bean one as well that I kind of wish I'd tried. I also got a horchata, which was extremely sweet and full flavored, with visible ground spices gathering at the bottom, waiting to be mixed back in. The food was fresh, and it was good.

We stopped here because it was nearby and open late when we left a concert at Greenfield. When we walked up to the order window the guy said they were out of a lot of things. I think he said Asada, carnitas, Brussels and fish, so we both ordered chicken nachos. We were both disappointed. Our nachos were mostly chips, many which were stuck together, and just a few chunks of chicken. Earlier in the day we had wandered down Front St and seen people eating lunch, a few with nachos at various restaurants, and they all looked better and bigger than the ones we had at Block. Not much quality or quantity for the price.

We started off with the chips and trio dips: queso, salsa and guacamole! It was tasty! The chips are seasoned, salsa and queso were fire and guacamole was FRESH! Empanadas were next, and let me tell you..These mouthwatering empanadas were perfect! Nice and crispy on the outside and the filling was juicy and tasty! It was topped off with lettuce, tomato and sour cream. I added some of that salsa from trio dip and it was amazing! Carne asada burrito was so HUGE and that we weren't able to finish it! Had the perfect ratios and the meat was plentiful, tender and flavorful! If you're hungry and looking for a good meal, this burrito will definitely fill you up! 10/10 recommend! We also ordered the carne asada bowl. It is everything the burrito is minus the tortilla. It was equally delicious and super filling as well! We ordered the carne asada tacos which were also great! I would recommend the tacos over the burrito if you're hungry but don't want to get too full. For dessert we ordered the fried platanos and churros! Platanos are my favorite!! These were so good and the churros were AMAZING! Haven't had a churro in years and this definitely satisfied my craving for it! Thanks to the chef and staff for being patient and kind to us! If you're in the area and looking for a place to fill you up, Capricho is it! 10/10 recommend!

I ordered the brussel sprouts tacos with a side of fries. The food was made fresh and was very delicious. The brussel sprouts were well seasoned and cooked but not overdone. The tacos were generously filled and topped with cashew crema. The fries were hot and crispy. It was also a large serving so more for sharing with others. Service was great as well as they ensured the food was brought out to us once ready. Plenty of outdoor seating and parking near the restaurant.

I ended up getting the smash burger which tasted very fresh and had a delicious sauce as an added bonus. I also had the opportunity to try the Brussel sprouts which I would highly recommend! The person at the register was very friendly and the food came out quickly from the bar area. They had seating in the actual restaurant, but we opted to sit in the open seating area just outside which housed multiple TV screens and the bar for ease of access to entertainment. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a quick bite to eat or to sit and catch up with friends.
