The best thing is the service- maybe because we go there so much, but everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Plus the prices won't break the bank. All in all, a very down to earth, classic neighborhood Mexican restaurant.

We were greeted and sat right away, they brought us the standard chips and salsa and even brought out a spicier salsa for me when I asked. Our food was done very quickly, almost too quickly, and that's probably why it wasn't 5 stars. It wasn't bad at all, the food was good, but something was missing- freshness, maybe? From order to table it was probably 7 minutes. I assume things are premade and that makes sense for things that take a while like the birria my daughter got but I was slightly disappointed with the flavor. The place is good, the environment was welcoming and we would definitely go back

That said we walked in and I wish we'd stopped on our way in: the margaritas look real good and they advertise margs to go! Our kids each got cheese quesadillas, they came with juice and chips. We asked for a side of sour cream with each which they added. I got a burrito bowl with their house mild salsa and pulled pork. The pork was good definitely made in house (we make a similar recipe). It's a little on the salty side, but yummy. The dish was a good size (I didn't finish it) and came out fast! My husband got a brisket burrito with the mild salsa also. He liked his food and said he felt like the salsa was good and influenced how he felt about the burrito. Also, this is NC after all so they have Cheerwine on tap which is always a welcome surprise. All in all: great spot for quick Mexi-kind.

Pricing on the drinks and food is very reasonable. They offer a few types of wine based margaritas, a bunch of draft beers and my favorite THC seltzers. Their quesadilla options are beef and chicken. The portion is huge, enough to share. Always a favorite of ours.

The location is very convenient to a variety of shops and a great way to kill some time before a 4PM rental check-in. The chips and salsa, chips and queso, and margaritas are all favorites of our family. The food comes out quickly and is always delicious. The staff is always quick to help fix any issues that arise and they are kind and knowledgeable. The sound side dining is nice and perfect with a breeze. The only negative is that it can get quite hot, which is obviously no fault of the restaurant. Always a great to-go option if the heat is too much to dine in. Also to note is that they have a great selection of beers. This is a family tradition we love coming back to each year and will continue to for years to come!

That said, they were very apologetic and offered us free drinks while we waited for them to prepare our new order. I will say, it was worth the wait! This was some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. The empanada were to die for, as were the fish tacos, chicken tacos, and carne asada! We loved this food so much, we ordered it again before leaving the beach. Will definitely be returning on our next trip!

My hubby had 2 chimichangas with rice and beans also exceptional. We were so full we basically rolled out of there! Portion sizes are huge and the rices are reasonable. You can't go out for under $100 anymore. I was shocked and how small the bill was. Of course we tip very well. This is going to be a family go to once we move there full time!!!
