    Fajitas, camarones a la diabla, chips and salsa, margaritas.
    David C.

    We were driving from the Virginia Shore to Ocean City and looking to stop for lunch. We stopped here because there was not a lot of people (covid times) and wow was it a good choice. Chips and salsa were fresh and the salsa home made. We ordered fajitas and camarones a la diabla and both were fantastic. I love that the diabla salsa was actually really spicy. My husband is from Mexico and really loved everything. Only slightly negative thing I would say is that the corn tortillas were not home made, but overall everything was great. Estábamos conduciendo desde Virginia Eastern Shore hasta Ocean City y buscábamos parar para almorzar. Nos detuvimos aquí porque no había mucha gente (tiempos de covid) y wow fue una buena opción. Los chips y salsa eran frescos y la salsa hecha en casa. Pedimos fajitas y camarones a la diabla y ambos fueron fantásticos. Me encanta que la salsa de diabla era realmente picante. Mi esposo es de México y le encantó todo. Lo único negativo que diría es que las tortillas de maíz no estaban hechas en casa, pero en general todo fue genial.

    BTW the pico has that many tomatoes because I added some from my plate because it bare had any.

    This was a huge disappointment! Service was very good and fairly quick but the food was a shame. Old pico de gallo with no flavor, old rice that seemed like a few days old and also no flavor and overcooked, taco meat tasted horrible and seems like can meat, nothing that we ordered tasted fresh or good. Also there's so many flies you have to eat while you wave your hands around to keep them off. First time I go to a Mexican restaurant that serves such crappy food. I hope you guys make significant changes or you'll be closed soon.

    If you're traveling on 13 through pocomock Maryland stop for authentic Mexican. Very good.

    This little gem fills a niche and a gap in this area and does do nicely. Great authentic Mexican food , big portions and nice staff. Don't miss it. Try the burritos. A great find!

    I love Mexican food and avoid chain restaurants. I was excited to check this place out when I read…read morethe reviews online, My husband and I were traveling through the area and decided to stop. At first glance my husband just wanted to keep on driving. Myself I am always open for an adventure and have found some of the best Mexican food in other hole in the wall places like this. There is no indoor seating, there is a small outdoor eating area or takeout only. You wouldn't know they served food from driving by or upon entering the facility. Inside is a store where they sell many Mexican foods, beverages and produce. The inside was not very clean and a bit run down, the outside eating area was littered with cigarette butts and soda cap lids, no trash receptacle other than a thin garbage bag tied to a post that was over flowing. On a good note, the cashier was very pleasant. Our food came out timely , I was disappointed with the food, very bland, the rice was chopped up and my carnitas dry. My husband only ate 1/2 of his Burrito. Wish the food was better and the place was cleaner as we travel down that way often....

    A random find on my way home from the Eastern Shore but glad I stumbled across it!…read more It's a small market/corner store that sells a lot of Hispanic goods. At the counter, you can order food (which is what I came for)! They make it fresh to order. I had an al pastor taco and a tamale. Along with a bottle of water, my total was around $3.75. Can't beat it! Everything tasted great; I ate in my car before continuing on my way. I used to live in LA and was used to super authentic Mexican food. Hard to find in the Hampton Roads/Eastern Shore area. That being said, this was one of the better places that I've tried; tasted like authentic street fare. The taco even had radishes, which was an authentic touch you just don't see around here; made me super happy. Def will stop again if passing through the area.

    While on a family vacay, we drove by and saw this colorful restaurant/food truck and decided to…read morestop. The window you order from is covered and there are picnic tables and chairs outside to sit in. When we got to the window we were greeted and the staff was nice. They answered all of our questions and were patient with us. I ordered the Cajun shrimp tacos and a carne asada taco, with rice and beans. It came to $25 which felt kinda expensive. The tacos had good flavor, the carne asada was tender. I enjoyed the Cajun shrimp tacos the most. The shrimp was a good texture and tasted good. I'm not a fan of corn tortillas, so I threw those away and just ate the meat with the rice. In the town alot of restaurants and stores are in the same area within just a few minutes of each other. This food truck is right in front of the water park, so if you get lost look for the slides. I'd come here again. Check them out!!

    This is a food truck permanently set up near some other similar enterprises, but this was clearly…read morethe busy one. An extensive vegetarian menu yielded for me some fajitas which delivered a fresh taste, came with a spicy salsa, and were quite filling. They also had some quinoa dishes. I tried to order a chocoflan and was told they were out of it; the fact that they did have a tres leches cake was framed almost as a disappointment by them. Nonetheless, I went ahead and ordered it and it was not particularly disappointing. There was a modicum of cheese in my entree but would be easy to omit for those in need. Given the finite options available on the island for those with special dietary needs, the willingness of this place to fill that niche and the quality of food they use to fill it were a big win for me.
