Don't judge this book by it's cover. Tucked in the corner of a small shopping center it is a delight. Bright, clean and fresh and then there is the food. We had a party of eight and everyone's food was great. Fresh made guacamole and salsa, a wonderful sweet potato and corn soup, fresh sword fish on a mashed yucca... More

We are locals and go here all the time. Great taco specials and margarita's. Very reasonable prices. Great service

Stopped by for something to take out. Never eaten here, but, a while back have eaten at Bad Bean Taquoria in Corolla, their sister locale. Young (I guessed local) man passed by me at the entrance while I was checking out the menu posted at the door. He indicated that I was in for a treat. The decor is bright... More

Very up scale taste in a casual environment ...The skirt steak was absolutely melt in your mouth, loved the crab dip and I can't forget the garlic cilantro fries!

I wasn't looking forward to eating here since Mexican food is enjoyable, but predictable. I was pleasantly surprised. The salsa was original (we got the medium) and it was tasty with the chips. My wife got a special appetizer, duck and plantains and a chicken quesadilla. I had the chipotle meatball quesadilla. All was well prepared and originally seasoned. It's... More

Went here the other day and had the flounder special with Mac and Cheese plus Nachos as an appetizer. Food was great Margarita was really good as well. The service was very nice as well. Next time I go to the OBX, I'll make it a point to go back here.
