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.

Usually when I'm in a beach town, I skip the restaurants and head into the hinterlands to find…read moresomething worthwhile. In Ocracoke, you don't need to do that. I highly recommend Dajio Restaurant. The meal was excellent. I had the blackened ahi on a salad. It was fresh and perfectly cooked. There's a decent but minimal selection of wines by the glass, and I went with a Sauvignon Blanc that paired perfectly. Most of the wines have good ratings by the major wine reviewers. Service was outstanding. The server had that classic beach-town ease (local or seasonal) but really knew the menu and did a great job. At one point, a woman who appeared to be management stopped by the table to check in. When she asked how things were, my answer was simple: "Incredible." The atmosphere is exactly right, relaxed but still polished, with just the right amount of energy without feeling crowded or chaotic. That balance is harder to get right than people think, and they've nailed it. I don't hand out compliments lightly, but this place delivers. Simple, fresh food, executed properly. No gimmicks, no shortcuts. This is absolutely a place you should try if you're in Ocracoke. I'll be back.

Dajio was excellent! Fresh updated menu with plenty of variety for everyone. We had lunch today:…read moreI had the Fried Green Tomatoes-- epic! My hudben ate the grilled blackened chicken in a fresh made pita and it was very good. The patio is intimate and lovely. We are coming back!

Found ourselves craving fresh seafood and decided to grab lunch at Jason's. Despite the place being…read morequite busy, we were seated within about five minutes--a promising start! We ordered a variety of dishes: the cold Italian sub, spicy chicken wings, Greek salad with blackened shrimp, blackened fresh fish sandwich, and blackened shrimp dinner. COLD ITALIAN SUB The cold Italian sub came with chips and was flavorful and satisfying. Wish it had more seasoning and spice, but it was good nonetheless. SPICY CHICKEN WINGS The spicy chicken wings had a nice kick, but weren't overwhelming. Would've been great if they were more flavorful, but they were fried nicely. GREEK SALAD The Greek salad with blackened shrimp was fresh, with perfectly seasoned shrimp that added a great smoky depth. All the ingredients were fresh and crunchy. Feta wasn't overwhelming, just perfect. FRESH FISH SANDWICH The blackened fresh fish sandwich, also served with chips, was a highlight with its flaky, well-seasoned fish. SHRIMP DINNER The blackened shrimp dinner, which came with garlic bread and cocktail sauce, was another standout--generous portions and bursting with flavor. The garlic bread was delish and went with the shrimp, which was cooked to perfection. Super tender and juicy. Service was fast and friendly, making the experience even better. Overall, Jason's delivered on both taste and efficiency, and it's a spot I'd happily return to for a quick and delicious seafood fix!

It has a mom and pop feel, where you'll likely seat yourself when it's slow, all prices are somewhat reasonable, seafood was obviously more expensive but I'd say it was pushing the reasonable side of things. I had the fried shrimp with green beans and white Mac and cheese. Shrimp was solid, and high quality. The green beans were good and thin. The Mac and cheese was fine but came out cold, which was confusing considering it was so busy, I don't know why food would be in the window for long periods. For the price and location everything was solid, but not necessarily great, I wouldn't return if there were other open options. Thought I did not have I hear the "Uncle Bunkle" was fantastic.
