I don't live locally and forgot to leave my review while I was in town, but making up for it now!…read more Whenever I'm in town, we generally go through a rinse & repeat of the previous spots my friend has taken us previously, mainly because it's a small community with their staple locations, but this time a new option was tossed out, and I love me some Mexican food, so she didn't need to ask me twice. I can generally gauge a Mexican restaurant very quickly by the salsa that hits the table first; that's a great foreshadowing as to how the rest of the food is going to be flavored... and I'm happy to report they have very flavorful salsa and chips. That also translated over to the food and everyone at the table enjoyed everything they had ordered. I love the design and casual inviting ambience of the place and truly just enjoyed hanging out with good company, food and drinks! The staff was wonderful, so polite and inviting and professional, and just a joy to interact with throughout our visit.

I used to go here and order from here all the time but not sure I will anymore. Lotta negativity. Tonight, the waitress we had was absent but then very angry that i had ordered a drink from someone else. It devolved from there. Apparently she had brought me the wrong drink that I ordered from another server when we hadn't seen her in at least 20 mins, scolded me that I shouldn't order from another server, then took my drink away because it was the more expensive version of the margarita that I had ordered. When I asked to order nachos she just said "no" and then asked if I wanted to pay for the more expensive margarita. I said no I didn't and I assume she just threw it down the drain. She was clearly so angry at me that she wouldn't come back to the table. Not my responsibility to be serving tables or get the drink order right. Two nights ago my husband had ordered food to go in advance. They couldn't find the order. He had to wait about 45 mins for it. Bummer!!

This is an unexpectedly great restaurant right at the center of activity in Atlantic Beach. In my…read moreexperience, finding good seafood restaurants in and around Atlantic Beach (even including Morehead City - where there are a dwindling few) can be surprisingly difficult, especially compared to the pelagic bounty of most coastal Carolina towns. Bahia has probably the best food I've had from any of the current crop of Atlantic Beach places. Every dish I've tried so far has been excellent. One in particular needs to be highlighted. The crab dip is possibly the best I've ever eaten, anywhere. You need to try it. Pro tip: Be prepared for the generous amount of butter and oil in and on the food -- it adds to the richness and is definitely a good thing, but you'll want to be careful if you're planning on performing microsurgery or wiping your eyeglasses. There is unobtrusive but good quality live music, which is always a plus (and seems more well-considered than the solo guitar dudes repeatedly playing "Free Fallin" at the neighboring restaurants and bars). The air conditioning indoors does a heroic job of keeping the restaurant a relatively nice temperature, as well.

We sat roughly between 5:45-6pm today. Not very busy but a large table was ahead of us (10-12 people) that were waiting on food. Initially we ordered cheese dip, dr.pepper and a water. All was fine. Then when I got my first water refill, it came back as starry, did not think much of it and maybe the server got mixed up with another's. No big deal at that time. Then we ordered food, it arrived approx 45 min later. While waiting for food, we had 2 baskets of chips and give or take 10-12 salsas brought to us, not all were eaten but the server never informed us of a possible delay. Just put more salsa out than people sitting which seemed odd. The item I ordered was a quesadilla fajita supreme. Now everywhere else I've been it's been meat, cheese and bell peppers/ onions. My own fault for not reading all the way because this one was meat cheese and mushrooms, again my own fault but definitely not a fajita quesadilla if I've seen one. The server. Very minimal English, especially in a tourist town. No words the whole night until it was time to collect his money. He threw food down and did not say much ever and kinda wandered around (not very big floor space so a lot of pacing). Time for the check. Now initially it was supposed to be water, dr.pepper, queso, fajita quesadilla supreme, and a chicken quesadilla. Well since the server thought to bring me a starry instead of water, I now was charged an additional $4.47 because he wanted to charge higher? I don't know but this sucked a lot. I see why there hasn't been reviews in a good bit, if you're on vacation or even live here, DONT GO. oh and this whole cash vs credit card price, like I get there's a credit card fee but just charge one price. I don't always have cash on me but it's part of business. I don't see dicks sporting goods offering discounts because I pay cash. I don't know just weird stuff and awful experience.

I have to give Alvaro five stars. He was funny and paid attention to us but did not hover over us. Appitizer- Stuffed jalapenos $5.25- do not get them. The breading was not right. It fell off the jalapeno and was also doughy. Very disappointed. Mixed Fajitas $13.45- it was bland and got cold quickly. Had one fajitas and the meat was cold. We took it home and doctored it up and had it for lunch the next day. The size it large and plentiful. The chips and salsa were better than other Mexican places we have been to. The bathroom was clean and the restaurant was comfortable. I probably would not go back unless I wanted a drink and to say to Alvaro so he could make us laugh again. 12/18/21 evening

We were looking for something quick, but the menu looked so good that we couldn't wait to try it. Thankfully, it lived up to the hype! The gentleman at the register was incredibly kind and patient as we asked questions and figured out what everyone wanted. Our group ordered a variety of items, including mahi tacos, burritos, fries, queso, chips, guacamole, and pico. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The fries were honestly some of the best I've ever had, and the chips were perfectly seasoned. For dessert, I purchased a platter of their homemade Rice Krispie treats, and they were the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. The restaurant was very clean, and I loved the flexibility of the menu. Being able to turn almost anything into a burrito, bowl, or taco made it easy for everyone in our group to find something they loved. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Morehead City!
