And, as always, the cheeseburger for our non-seafood-loving child was good. The fries were really good, too, apparently Our server was really good.

This was my first time here and will be my last. I arrived at 4:30 today (Thursday). A woman opened…read morethe door and said they were closed for cleaning and they would open at 5. So I waited a half hour for them to open. I asked for a booth where I could have room to work and eat and the hostess walked me over to a 4 top, which would've been perfect. The 2 tops are tiny. She said she would have to ask if could sit there, which was odd because it just opened and not many people were there. She talked to the gentleman at the bar-- who I assume was in charge. Based on the words exchanged, it seemed problematic from his perspective for me to sit there, despite the mostly empty restaurant. Since I'm a lawyer, I work where I dine much of the time and never experienced such a problem trying to get seated. The hostess asked me if upstairs was okay and suggested it would be quieter. Assuming she was taking me to a 4 top upstairs, I went up with her only to find there were a bunch of 2-tops. At that point, it felt as if I was not heard or cared about--as if I were unwelcome--despite being pleasant with the staff from the moment I walked in. So I was about to go back down the stairs and said it's okay I'll just go somewhere else. Then a woman on the staff overheard me and it was suggested I could sit at the bar. I explained that's not a good space because the bar area can become loud. And this is especially so when people become intoxicated. So basically my options were a little two-top or the bar. I ended up leaving. I worked very hard in the restaurant industry before I enlisted in the Coast Guard and eventually became an attorney, which is why I always make it a point to be polite to service staff. And I would've never treated people the way I was treated here. I could understand them not wanting me to take up the space of a 4 top if it were a Friday, a weekend, or later in the day, but this is Thursday right at opening time at 5pm when the restaurant isn't even busy. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant.

Came here twice during a recent vacation, the first for lunch and drinks and the second just for drinks (yes, the strawberry margarita is that good). The quesadillas were delicious and the chips and queso were quite nice as well, though they were on the pricier side for the portion size. The service is okay but nothing to write home about. Outside seating is wonderful, though let's be honest: people are going to come here when it's sunny, and the tables have no umbrellas or any sort of cover, so hope you brought a hat and are ready to be warm. I completely get that you don't want to lose them in a storm, though any sort of built-in or removable overhang would make a world of difference in terms of comfort for guests. I would absolutely return again to get one or two (or ten) of the frozen margaritas, and recommend you try one too! Overall: 4.0 stars --- Pros: - Delicious food, and fantastic margaritas. - Nice dining area. - Beautiful, sweeping views of the sound side. Cons: - Service is okay, a little flighty. - Dining area desperately needs some shade.

Their meals come with a side of their homemade Pico and fresh chips. I got the Buxton Burger, a 6 oz Patty and added cheese. Comes on a nice roll with all the condiment sauces on the side. I also got onions, pickles and lettuce. Wife got the Wanchese steak sandwich. That was HUGE, she only has had and I enjoyed the rest. Plenty of steak on a nice long bun. I'd probably ask for mustard and Mayo next time. Waffle fries were super fresh and delicious. They will definitely get my vote next time we are looking for a meal or burgers and steak subs.

Here's the deal: Antojitos restaurant features both traditional and Mexican-American with a more traditional leaning in ingredients and most importantly, flavor! One thing that makes this restaurant stand out is that the meat here is marinated and cooked in a traditional style including its Al Pastor option. Something many Mexican restaurants don't do or don't do well. This is then mixed with other ingredients that make the food vibrant, including pickled jalapeños with carrots, custom hot sauces, and Antojitos own crema among others. We tried fajitas which were some of the best I've had, Al Pastor gordita, chicken chile relleno, and a torta cubana. All amazing and made every person in my party want to come back during our trip. Portions are large, you will not go hungry. Prices are very reasonable and definitely less than restaurants "on the strip". The restaurant is medium sized with plenty of seating, including tables that can be used for large parties. Service was fantastic and with a smile. Drinks never went dry. If eating in the restaurant look for specials on the boards which don't appear on the menu. Highly recommend, I will definitely be back.

I was informed the scallops were chewy due to being over cooked and the soft shell crab was fishy tasty like they were not fresh and they cut a small one into two not coming close to filling the taco shell. The peel your own shrimp were also over cooked making it difficult to get the shell off. I will however say the clam chowder was delicious, the she crab soup was a little too rich for me to finish my bowl but was very tasty. The blackened tuna bites were amazing.
