And decor could do for a bit more with the high ceiling and whatnot it feels a bit small and empty at the same time. New fav hole in the wall, hoping my next trip is equally as great !

The food was absolutely delicious and better than the usual local Mexican restaurants food we are familiar with. I had shrimp tacos which were cooked crispy and the cheese was also a bit crispy.

The jerk chicken on the other hand....my mouth lit up like the grand finale of a fireworks display. The delicious flavor explosion made me want more than one piece. I will be going back for more jerk.

They have a few booths in and a tables with chairs for larger parties. I was seated fairly quickly with my order taken in a timely manner. I also didn't have to wait very long for my order to come out. I was really craving carnitas with a lot of what's on the sides at Mexican (American) restaurants, and I didn't realize they didn't have this dish on their menu. So I went for a burrito, I really should've gone for the tacos because the burrito didn't quite satisfy whatever it was I was craving. It wasn't as flavorful as I was expecting. The rice was pretty good though. I really was expecting the rice to be in the burrito along with more veggies. I also didn't expect the burrito to be covered with the cheese. Portion-wise, it was okay. Overall, it was an okay experience. I think I'd try the tacos and/or pupusas if I come back.

We had to drop off some items in the area and wanted to get dinner before heading back, so we looked over the menu and reviews. It seemed like it would be perfect for seafood lovers, and we were able to snag one of the last tables available. From the time we walked in, the service was amazing. The staff made great recommendations, checked on us frequently without being intrusive, and made sure we were enjoying our first experience there. Even the other customers were super friendly and told us they had been coming back for years for the great food and service. We both loved our meals. The breading on my fish was really crispy (a recommendation from the server), and the hush puppies were delicious. The portions were very generous, and I really enjoyed my leftovers the next day! The decor there is also super cute. They have several old soda machines outside and adorable crab-themed items inside and outside. Even though it's a bit of a drive, we both agreed that it will be well worth another trip in the future!

A bargain! Can't wait to go back...

While it's often talked about like a Mexican restaurant, it didn't really feel like one once there…read morethe menu and focus seemed much more centered around pupusas than traditional Mexican. I ended up getting a burrito. The food itself was okay, but nothing that really stood out. The burrito came with rice and beans, which honestly were probably the best part of the meal. Everything else was definitely edible, just lacking that flavor punch you usually expect when you're craving Mexican food. Cleanliness was another downside. The space didn't feel very well kept, which made the overall experience less enjoyable. The biggest issue, though, was the service. The woman working there was nice, but we barely saw her at all. On top of that, the wait time was rough it took over 50 minutes for our food to come out, which felt excessive for what we ordered. Overall, it wasn't terrible, but between the long wait, cleanliness issues, and the food not really living up to expectations, it's hard to say I'd go out of my way to come back.

It's a little dive spot located on a side street with parking only available in the back of the business. The owner was the sole server and we were one of two tables that were eating. We stopped in for lunch after a morning full of antique shopping and thrifting from the nearby antique mall. We started off with soup, which came with an order of hushpuppies. The hushpuppies were SO good and remind me of how they are in North Carolina. I ordered the Lobster Bisque and my girlfriend ordered the shrimp chowder. Both were amazing and full of flavor. My only critique of the bisque is there we not pieces of lobster. I believe they were blended when making the soup. Otherwise, a huge hit at only $7 per bowl. For our entrees, I ordered the shrimp po boy and she ordered the crabcake sandwich. For our side, I ordered the coleslaw while she ordered the potato salad. The po boy was very full of small shrimp and came with a sauce which was very good on it. It's a little tangy sauce that goes great. Of course, I added some hot sauce on top which was the perfect touch. The coleslaw was very good and again reminded me of North Carolina coleslaw. Chopped very small and fine with a hit of sweetness. The crabcake sandwich was also surprisingly good and had lump crab meat. This place is very informal and a perfect lunch spot, which attracted us to it immediately. The prices are VERY good and the food tasted so good. Everything was hot and fresh, and Maggie's service was very attentive and she was super friendly.
