There's not much on 85 so I did a search on Yelp and Thai place came up. I almost didn't go in because it seems so quiet but the reviews here made me give it a go. I'm really glad I did. I was seated promptly and given a glass of water with the menu right away. Along came chips and salsa as well. After a few minutes of perusing the menu I decided on the shrimp chimichanga.

It took a long time to finally get our meal. When it finally came we were given the dinner order of Chicken AND Beef. We reminded her that we ordered the lunch Chicken. She said that this is what they made and she said that they could make another order. We don't believe in wasting food and we know that all they would do is throw it away, so we took it. The food was terrible. It had no taste and there was hardly any meat in the burritos. We have been to this restaurant several years ago and the food was very good. I don't know if they have changed the cooks, but the food is definitely bad now. We will never go here again. As for the service, it also was not very good. For a restaurant that didn't have anyone in it, it took too long to get our food and the server didn't have much of a personality. While we were waiting we heard a woman come in to pick up her order. We heard her say that she didn't get what she wanted either.

We randomly chose this place versus another Mexican restaurant in Roanoke Rapids 40 more minutes away. We were pleasantly surprised with the selection, service, and how fast our food was prepared and served hot. For starters they give you chips and salsa like most other Mexican restaurants. I'd rate the salsa 3/5 stars...more onion and cilantro please. However, they go the extra mile and give you queso with the chips and salsa. It's not your typical queso either, it's queso with creamed cheese in it giving it some extra flavor versus plain quesos. I got the lunch quesadilla fajitas with beef and it was tasty. Not really a pickup and eat type of meal especially after I piled on the guac, sour cream, and lettuce. It was crispy, hot and delicious. Perfect serving size for lunch. My girlfriend got the lunch fajitas. They came out sizzling hot in a small cast iron pan. Probably half the size of the dinner portion if I had to guess. Again, the perfect amount for lunch. She ate it with just the rice and beans to make it gluten-free as it was served with flour tortillas. The corn chips did not give her any problems either. All in all it was a fast stop in a small town. It was very inexpensive as well. When we were leaving a sweet old man in his Sunday best came over to look at our bikes and chat us up about the "Jap" bikes he used to ride back in the day. So not only was the staff friendly but the townspeople as well! Would definitely stop here again.
