Shrimp Tacos
Helena M.

Eduardo's is an excellent reason to go to Ocracoke. The food is always delicious and you never leave feeling anything but stuffed and wondering when the next time you'll have a fish taco will be! My boyfriend and I have been waiting a long time to visit Ocracoke BECAUSE of Eduardo's. Always a highlight.

While on the island your food choices are slim. This is a permanent food truck that is known for burritos. Parking is easier if you are staying on the island and you travel by golf cart. Otherwise, road vehicles can park on the few nearby street pull offs. I went to the counter and the staff was not real nice. Not even a hello, just leaned down and looked at me. Beware they close early so if you are coming to the island for the day plan accordingly. The people eating at the tables didn't seem very happy either, most likely because of the cost of what they were eating for what it was. I asked a guy that was leaving what he thought, and he said "meh". I will post the latest menu, but it seems for the size they cost double compared to Chipotle.

Can't recommend. Overpriced, ridiculous hours (closes at 3pm) and very poor attitude if you happen to walk up and they're closing in 20 minutes. What is the point of keeping the ridiculously short hours if you're going to have a bad attitude when someone walks up on your food truck 20 minutes before you're going to shut it down? Just shut down earlier, what does it even matter at that point? Ended up going to the grocery store and buying the ingredients and making it myself.

Really good tacos! Tried the blackened fish tacos with the mango pico and the flavors and textures of the fish were great and paired really well with the fresh toppings including cabbage, corn, avocado, and lots of citrus. Fish was neither too oily nor cold. Taco shells also held up well.

Outside of the food truck.  Can there be a better vibe?

5 stars all day long. Small food truck on the side of the ride on a quiet island... What more could you want? We got lucky and got a picnic table in the "dining area". We pulled our little golf cart in thinking that we were going to get a "quick lunch". Yeah.... It kept us full the entire day. EVERYTHING is fresh and made to order, so the very small wait is well worth it. We got the fresh guac with chips which was phenomenal. I got the Fish tacos which was absolutely delicious and obviously fresh. My son and my wife got the chicken tacos and they both said that were very good. We had a nice shady spot to eat and drink our Mango Jarritos soda. Very relaxing and low key. When you're done, the lighthouse is right down the street off of the side street. I'm very glad we stopped in for a great island lunch.

Last day on the island and we wanted breakfast. I feel like its hard to navigate that area during the off season. We had seen this spot a few times and it didn't show up on Yelp initially we stopped in after our first two stops were a bust. Outside seating. Little long on waiting for a food truck, I just wonder about that and long lines Chilliques, pork belly torta, and a bacon breakfast burrito. AMAZING! Nothing about it was disappointing. They make the tacos wITH flour. So no GF there. Looks like you can get fresh chips and salsa for snacks to go.

If you're looking for exceptional Mexican food, let's go k no further! I've eaten here many times over the years & have found the food quality and choice only gets better. Yesterday I had the pollo, carnitas & asada tacos on corn tortillas & they were really good. Today I had the grilled Mahi tacos on flour tortillas & they were exceptional! You will need to ask for a side of salsa. They automatically give you the salsa verde with tomatillo. There is so much to like about this place in their new location! The only downside is limited parking & no bathroom

Best meal I had in Ocracoke was from this food truck! Plenty of outdoor seating! The tacos were extremely fresh! I wish it had a bit more of a kick, but this was probably the freshest taco I've ever had. Very authentic, filling and delicious! Ordered the shrimp tacos, scallop tacos and salsa. Comes with 3 and very generous with the filling inside! I would love to come back and try their burritos and breakfast options. This place does get crowded so be prepared to wait a bit for your food! Highly recommend!

Eduardo's is a true gem and absolutely worth the wait in the hot sun. Take your time and really read the menu. Don't be afraid to try a few different things. The food is guaranteed to always be fresh and flavorful. Excellent food. We had overheard recommendations from several local residents, and since we love a good authentic meal plus Mexican food, we decided to give it a try. Dismiss the food truck/trailer bias if you have one, and chow down on some really good food. They have reasonable prices, they give out generous portions, and the service is fairly quick. I couldn't have been more pleased finding this place on the main road and pick out something from a vast menu. Fresh local seafood, tacos, burritos, and whatever sounds tasty. Flavorful and delicious. I had the Cheesy Fusion Taco. Marinated jerk chicken with pineapple mango salsa, lettuce, and avocado. I also ordered grilled chicken tacos, which come in three tacos. My grilled chicken tacos came with a side of salsa, avocado, cilantro, and onions in corn tortillas. Yes, I was very hungry. Lol The ambience of the place is very calming, but due to the limited seats, it can be challenging. They are a dog friendly business.

Was disappointed I've heard a lot of good things about this place but I guess I'm just used to real Mexican food. The chicken tacos didn't have enough flavor. The verde sauce did help but I believe all chicken should have their own good flavor then add more to make it complete. But I guess for how small the town is it's the best they got. Next time I'll try carne asada and hope for the best.

I love this place! The cheesy shrimp tacos are my favorite. I cannot go to ocracoke without getting them. And apparently on my birthday three times.

Great, authentic fish tacos served from a food truck. Window service was polite and accurate. There is always a line, so it will not be fast - expect 20 min before you eat. Drinks are cold canned sodas and Mexican Jarritos soda. Half dozen wooden tables with umbrellas surrounded trailer to allow picnic. No alcohol permitted.

We came early for apps and drinks and were considering if we wanted to stay for our dinner meal too since the menu looked fantastic (and the ragu was eyeing me down!). It was surprisingly incredibly quiet with only a few of the porch tables taken, so we didn't feel like we were holding anyone up since it was quiet and early. While we were deciding on dinner, the waitress approached us and asked if we made our minds up. When saying we needed a minute but wanted to start with rolls and cocktails, she said, "well can I take your menus then? Or one?" Which felt odd given there weren't many people there at all and we still wanted to decide what apps a dinner to order. Otherwise, she hadn't checked back on us for another 30 minutes after ordering drinks and bread to start, so feeling like a nuisance, and we decided not to get dinner here anymore and we'd go elsewhere. Then, trying to wave the waitress down felt impossible almost as though she was avoiding our table, we had to ask another server for her to grab our check. Otherwise, the outside porch was perfect and shady with fans and airflow for a hot summer day. Very homey! The house made bread was absolutely fantastic. The French 75 was heavy handed on the gin, which can be both good and bad depending how you look at it! Worth the money for us!

Craving Pizza on the Island? Sorella's is a Must-Try!…read more While visiting the island, I found myself in the mood for some good pizza, so I decided to check out Sorella's for dinner--and I'm so glad I did! With its reputation for hearty, flavor-packed dishes, it was the perfect spot to satisfy my cravings. What We Ordered: * BBQ Pizza * Big Daddy Pizza * Stromboli BBQ PIZZA This pizza was a savory-sweet masterpiece! The olive oil base paired beautifully with the barbecue chicken, caramelized onions, and smoky bacon. The addition of jalapeños brought the perfect kick, while the cheddar and mozzarella created a rich, melty layer of cheesy goodness. Topped with a barbecue swirl, every bite was packed with bold flavors that balanced sweetness and spice perfectly. It was a creative twist on classic pizza flavors, and it didn't disappoint. BIG DADDY PIZZA If you're a fan of the classics, this one's for you. The Big Daddy Pizza was piled high with red sauce, beef, sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, red onions, mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese. Each ingredient brought something special to the table: the meats were perfectly seasoned, the vegetables added a satisfying crunch, and the mozzarella held it all together with a gooey, cheesy blanket. This pizza is a hearty, crowd-pleasing option for anyone who loves a fully loaded slice. STROMBOLI This was the showstopper for me! Stuffed with red sauce, pepperoni, sausage, green peppers, red onions, mushrooms, and mozzarella, the Stromboli was simply heavenly. The crust was golden and perfectly baked, with just the right balance of crispness and chewiness. The filling was indulgent, packed with meat and cheese, making it a dream for any meat lover. Every bite felt comforting and decadent--a must-try if you visit Sorella's. We opted for takeout and enjoyed our meal during a cozy movie night at our rental. The pizzas and Stromboli held up beautifully, still warm and fresh when we dug in. Sorella's proved to be the perfect blend of convenience and quality for a relaxed evening in. Sorella's nailed it on every level--flavor, portion sizes, and variety. Whether you're in the mood for a creative take on pizza like the BBQ Pizza, a classic loaded option like the Big Daddy, or the indulgent Stromboli, you're bound to find something to love here. If you're ever on the island and craving pizza, Sorella's is the place to go. I'll definitely be back for more!

I was able to watch the ferry come in, and watch the sun getting lower and lower over the water. Stunning. I did not catch my waiter's name, but he seemed very familiar with the locals who sat at tables near me. I ordered the bacon wrapped scallops off the starters menu and the spinach salad. With that I had a water and a bottled beer. The food was delicious and plentiful. I had already spied the lemon cheesecake on the menu and told him when I ordered my dinner that I was going to finish with that and a coffee. He said he'd make sure that the pot was brewed for me which I thought was nice. When the bill came, there were two prices listed, one for credit and one for cash instead of saying that they up charge for credit sales they were it that they discount for cash sales, smart business! The parking lot is gravel, plenty of parking and well lit. The restaurant itself is upstairs and as far as I know, you have to climb the steps to go up. I could be wrong, but I didn't see any alternatives. I can imagine that during busy season, reservations would be required.

This is their description of the appetizer from their menu *Coastal Gratin Stuffed Oysters Our version of a classic... Six shucked oysters stuffe with fire-roasted poblano peppers, mozzarella & gouda mix, chopped bacon & butter beurre blanc When the appetizer arrived, there were 13 oysters cooked the way it says above I can't eat 13 oysters. I'm only one person so I stopped the person who was waiting on me and asked if There was a mistake because there were three times the amount of oysters on the plate he said no that's how it comes. I said OK thank you you. Then I waited 35 minutes for a shrimp Poboy there were two other people in the restaurant besides me eating that's it a shrimp Poboy if you're completely incompetent and have never cooked a day in your life might take you 12 to 15 minutes to cook if you're an established restaurant with only two other customers I can't imagine it taking longer than 10 minutes. Frying shrimp takes 4 to 7 minutes, depending on the size and the. Then I got the shrimp Poboy with four shrimp on an 8 inch bun. I cut into one of the shrimp one of the four and it wasn't cooked so when the guy came back by, I told him that I was just gonna take my oysters to go and that I couldn't eat the shrimp Poboy and I also said I think it's laughable that there were four shrimp on this entire sandwich And so then he asked me how many shrimp I wanted and I said I'm I'm not engaging in this kind of toxic conversation. So he brought me a box and the check and I went up to pay the check for my oyster appetizer and I set them to go box down on the Counter in front of me I still can't believe this happened, but when he handed me the check right after he did that, he picked up my to go box full of oysters because I only ate four and threw them away and said that since I didn't like his shrimp, Poboy, I couldn't have his food. This happened to me on Christmas day, all by myself. I am not exaggerating when I say I've only felt like I've been in the presence of true evil a few times in my life and this man the way that he was violent and aggressive in his speech and his mannerisms and taking my food for me and throwing it in the trash two seconds after handing me the check for it is the most wild behavior I've ever witnessed in all of my life if you have a choice to eat anywhere else, I urge you to do that
