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.

Possibly the best tacos I've ever had! Dimly lit, nice big bar... huge flatscreen TV. Outdoor…read moreseating. I ate the 3 taco combo. La Lingua, Carne Asada was so delicious!! I was sad when I got full. Wish I could have just kept eating. Also... I should add... I can't speak Spanish but I managed to order. Even if you can't speak Spanish find a way to make it happen. This is the best Taqueria I've ever been to. Maybe I can go again tomorrow!!

You can tell they simmered it for hours to reach that depth of flavor. The birria was tender and crispy on the edges. I wish there was more cheese though. The horchata was the cherry on top.

And from what you can see the Asada Tacos were definitely a favorite of mine. Service was great even though a lot of people came to the restaurant, I especially appreciated the choices the waitress gave us, letting us pick our own table.

My girlfriend and I stayed in Carolina Beach for a week and we stopped here once, it was a Saturday…read moreso it was very busy, we had a 35 minute wait, but it was very well worth it. The food came out surprisingly quick for just how busy they were, both parking lots were jam packed. Our server was very kind as well. I ordered the Asada Tacos with their house made Guacamole, my girlfriend had the Burrito Supreme. We both were taken aback at how amazingly everything tasted. The steak in my tacos had the perfect level of charring to them, they were not rubbery like most restaurants. And their Guac was enough to make us go back a second time on our trip. Overall, if I could rate this more than 5 stars, I would. If you plan on staying in Carolina Beach for an extended period of time, make room for 2 trips to this restaurant.

The hostess (who I think may be the owner or manager) was super friendly and offered to put the order in for us and bring it out. It sounds like a small gesture, but they were busy so the level of service really impressed me. I still can't get away from the black bean burrito. It's delicious and affordable! Yum!

This was the perfect place to eat when we didn't want seafood AGAIN and we were ready for lunch…read more We parked the car with the intention of eating at a different place, but we looked across the street and hubby and I must have been on the same wavelength because we both suggested a change in plans at the same time and said, "how about Mexican?" It was a good decision. Service was excellent. The chips were perfect - hot, crispy, thin and fresh. Their salsa is exactly how I like it - savory, just a little spicy, tomatoey-fresh, and with just the right texture. We were off to a rip roaringly good start. In a completely out of character move, I skipped my preference for authentic Mexican food like carnitas and instead ordered the taquito combo. Hubby opted for the 1/2 chimichanga and the kids split a kids meal of enchilada and cheese quesadilla. My taquitos were surprisingly crispy and not at all greasy. The shredded lettuce with pico de gallo and guacamole was fresh and tasty. The rice was rice - and my kids couldn't get enough of it. Hubby's chimichanga was voted "really good" by the hubby. His refried beans were tasty, too. My only disappointment was with the kid's meal. It was a bland quesadilla and a small enchelada. There were no sides - I would have liked them to also get a little beans or rice or salad or something. For a drink I ordered their homemade horchata. It was very good and only cost about $2 for a large glass. You could even see the little bits of cinnamon in the bottom of the glass. They also have a homemade jamaica (hibiscus) drink that I assume would be just a good. We liked the place enough that we stopped back on Tuesday night for $2.99 margaritas and to buy the kids a fried ice cream. My daughter was amazed that the ice cream had actually been fried without melting. For about $4 the dessert was HUGE with a fried flour tortilla, a very large ball of fried ice cream, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and a cherry on top. It was enough for all four of us to share. Our margaritas were also good. Much more potent than I expected for the special price. Only drawback is that it had to be on the rocks and I like a frozen Margarita. But at $3 for 16 ounces who's to complain. :)

First off, I really like the people working here. I've been going here for 15+ years and I know…read moreover 20 people who enjoy eating here on my recommendation and that makes me happy because the food is good. I hope this review will be seen by management and have a positive outcome for the future. I door dash once a month and the last 4 times have been disappointing. My bolillo is always burned, I don't mean toasted I mean blackened, inedible. Last time, the tortillas were hard as a rock...I live three blocks away and that's how the tacos arrived. Today I ordered a torta and tacos and there was no salsa, cilantro, onions included...third time that's happened. I've never left a complaint review and I feel terrible but I love this place and just hoping they fix these things. If I could go there myself and avoid these issues, I would, because eating there has always been great! Take out is dismal.

Definitely one of the best spots in Wilmington for authentic Mexican cuisine. The staff is friendly…read moreand super fast. You order at the front and choose your seating and they bring it out to you and it's always been less than 5-10 min wait for us. They also have a topping and salsa bar so everything's customizable. The prices are also super affordable. They have indoor and outdoor seating options and table and booth options. Very cozy atmosphere. Even though you don't have traditional waiters the staff still comes to check on you and make sure you're enjoying your food. They also have a little bar area. There are three locations in Wilmington total and also a grocery store of the same name. They have been serving our community for almost 20 years. 100% a must try Wilmington staple.
