I'm not a fan. We went here because it was vey close to our parking spot…read more Pros - Large drink menu - Lots of items on the food menu - Inside and outside seating Cons - Food is just okay - Service was terrible (more below) - Drinks were okay Food - Tried the cheese dip, camarones Ala diablo and taco salad. Cheese dip was good. Taco salad wasn't great (steak meat was chewy). Camarones Ala diablo was a solid 3 stars, but it was hot as hell. I love spicy food, but it is hard to enjoy when your eyes are tearing up and snot is coming out of your nose. Drinks were okay. The bartender put too much spice around the rim. The condensation was causing it to drip down the glass, making a hell of a mess. Service was terrible. Were were the first people there for lunch. One table that came in 10 minutes after us, changed twice while we were there. The waitress was MIA multiple times. There is another Mexican restaurant in Carolina Beach that is just a few blocks away, which is much better. I doubt I'll be back.

I went in all because earlier in the day, I saw they had Elote in a cup... and I've never had it in…read morea cup before, always on the cob. The chips and salsa was delicious. Salsa wasn't spicy, which is how I prefer it. There was an awkward wait being seated, as I was greeted by the bartender, then she disappeared, then greeted me again and finally told me I could sit anywhere I like. I grabbed a menu and had a seat and a different employee came to get my order. She was very nice and attentive. The inside was bright and lively with music playing. They also have outdoor seating available, but it was pretty windy outside with a storm coming in, so it was empty. The only downside to this restaurant is that there is only about 3 spots for cars to park near the entrance, as their parking lot to the left is completely blocked off with concrete barriers and the parking lot to the right is solely for the restaurant to the right of this one. I ended up having to park across the street in the pay-per-hour parking. That's a bummer.

Summer weekends in Carolina Beach are no joke, and we should've known better than to expect a quick…read moredinner. Everywhere we checked had hour-plus waits, so when El Cazador quoted us 50 minutes on a busy Saturday evening, we gladly took it. We grabbed seats at the bar, cooled off in the AC (which was working overtime in the sweltering heat), and enjoyed a couple of drinks while we waited. A cold Pacifico with lime definitely hit the spot. By the time our party of seven was finally seated, we'd already made a dent in the chips and salsa. Thankfully, the food didn't disappoint. Portions were generous, prices were very reasonable for a beach town, and everything came out fresh and flavorful. The biggest surprise was spotting lengua on the taco menu. That's not something you see everywhere, so of course I had to order it. The tongue was incredibly tender and well-cooked. My only suggestion would be to offer a salsa verde or salsa roja with the tacos--they deserve something with a little extra kick to bring all the flavors together. Overall, great food, fair prices, and a solid option when the rest of Carolina Beach is packed. I'd happily come back, especially for those lengua tacos.

Located next to Ichiban Exprees. Only has 2 tables for seating and some couches in the corner…read more Besides sweets they had snack options, which we didn't try. Ordered a cup of strawberry ice cream and Mangonada. Ice cream is Michocana brand. The ice cream was good but not the best ice cream. The Mangonada was good too, but the mango chunks were not very ripe. I liked the tamarind candy straw mixed with the mango ice. Extra star for Friendly staff.

Located next to Savor Kitchen. Unclear which side is the entrance since the "entrance" on Carolina…read moreBeach Road has only one painted arrow going out into traffic. So there might be an entrance coming from the Sunnyvale Drive side. Looks like they have all of the offerings like the other Los Portales supermarket locations, including bakery item, ready to eat hot food (meat, Mexican rice, etc), and fresh tortillas. Of course had to get some of their bakery items, including their popular Bolillo ($0.89 each), which I can never get tired of. Also got their chicken empanadas ($1/lb) and hot chicken tamale (self serve from a large pot, $1.39 each). Never had a Mexican style empanada made with corn masa. It was quite delicious and my toddler enjoyed it as well. The chicken tamale was a little spicy but also delicious. My only regret is that I didn't buy more tamales! They were giving complimentary cake slices maybe because they just opened.

I've been to this location twice in two weeks. It's hard to find large enough burrito wraps in…read moremainstream grocery stores and I knew they'd have them. They did. I bought them and loved them but didn't glance at my receipt the first go round but it seemed steep. I brushed it off because I was buying quite a bit of stuff. The following Saturday (June 20), I came in to buy two more packs and noticed my bill was much higher than I anticipated. I went back to ask about the pricing today (Wednesday). Both times I bought the burrito wraps they were in the same spot. Marked $2.39. When I went to dispute the charge the white lady told me that the workers put stuff in the wrong place all the time. All I wanted was a refund of the difference because they were there in that very spot both times. The chihuahua cheese also rings up wrong but she didn't seem to care. In North Carolina items are to be sold for the price they're represented on the shelf. Whether it's put in the wrong place or not and ESPECIALLY if it remains in the wrong place indefinitely without anyone bothering to move it. Once she said, "oh they just put stuff in the wrong place without looking." I knew it made no sense to argue. Kinda sucks because this is the only Latin grocery store in this very limited area.
