Everything is so fresh!…read more I like to try something different every time I stop in, and nothing ever fails to please me! Everything is fresh, and employees give you a solid portion of everything on the line. They keep the salsa bar well stocked, and the tables clean. The restrooms are also clean! The service is standard, but is nonetheless kind. This place gives you modern appeal with faint coastal vibes! We will be coming back!!

Mexican food scale 10/10 for North Carolina. Could it open up in Dallas next to a Jersey Mikes and stay in business? Absolutely. Could it open up in San Antonio or El Paso and stay in business? Probably not. But it's great to have Texmex of this quality in Southport.

Nollie's Taco Joint is a hidden gem in Carolina Beach with great food and even better vibes…read more The setup is a small, skater-style shack, but don't let that fool you, the tacos are creative and genuinely tasty. If you order the queso, it comes with a huge basket of heavily seasoned chips, which was a great surprise and perfect for sharing. We came with a group of six and sat outside enjoying the spring weather, and the whole experience just felt easy and fun. Everyone found something they liked, and the food came out fresh and flavorful across the board (tacos, burrito, and tortilla bowls). They also have beers on draft and a cool skate shop vibe with merch, which adds to the uniqueness of the place. Nothing exceptional about the service but the food and vibe did the heavy lifting. Great atmosphere, solid food, and a spot that feels local in the best way. Definitely worth checking out if you're in CB.

They have a dedicated fryer for their chips which is perfect if you have a gluten allergy. They can make all of their tacos with corn and flour tortillas. I ordered the blackened mahi taco which was a daily special with cabbage and pickled onions. I also ordered the tuna taco with bacon, cabbage, tomato and chipotle mayo. My favorite taco was the veggie taco which had a great mix of coconut rice, black beans, peppers, corn and cilantro lime cream. My kids had the beef taco with cheese and they loved it. The kids meal comes with chips and salsa. The staff was helpful and nice. The food came out pretty quickly for being really busy. I would highly recommend coming here for tacos especially right off the beach.

The tacos are so good, I always get the shrimp, but the fish and pork are a hit too. It's got a cool, laid back beach vibe with outdoor seating, and the guacamole dips are always so good. Just an easy, go to spot we always enjoy. They do get pretty busy around dinnertime but usually work through the line quickly, don't let the line deter you!

The inside was very clean and modern. They have a different special every day of the week which seemed like a great way to try everything on the menu. The star of the show was the shrimp burrito. Perfectly cooked, tender shrimp, excellently seasoned rice and beans all combined together with crema and lettuce in a grilled tortillas. There was actually quite a bit of shrimp in the burrito. And the salsas added extra depths of flavor. We also got chips and salsa. The chips were nothing to write home about, seemed to have been sitting out for a bit. The owner was nice, she brought out a free chip refill. The verde salsa and spicy salsa were homemade with good flavory and a nice smokiness. I felt the same way about the side salas that came with the burrito. It was decent, nothing special. I imagine the fries would be similar. Overall this was a great place to get some fresh hispanic seafood! The tacos also looked amazing, I would definitely recommend trying out the entrees here.
