I was impressed with how fast our food came out given how many people were there. It's a casual joint. You order at the register, and they bring your food out to your number. They have a good variety of food + drinks, and I loved my pulled pork quesadilla! read more

Terrible! Waste of money! First time in my life we walked out leaving all our food. It was inedible. Rice was worse than a box mix. My chicken was cold. The tacos were blah! Whoever wrote good reviews must of never had good food. The service was just as bad. We waited 20 minutes and the table next to us got their food before us and they got there well after us! read more

The food was great. Had the shrimp tacos and they were amazing. Family friend had the brisket tacos and raved about it. Definitely will be going again on our next trip to obx. read more

Stopped on our way out of Corolla after a beach day, we were hungry and looking for tacos, but quickly. That said we walked in and I wish we'd stopped on our way in: the margaritas look real good and they advertise margs to go! Our kids each got cheese quesadillas, they came with juice and chips. We asked for a side of sour cream with each which they added. I got a burrito bowl with their house mild salsa and pulled pork. The pork was good definitely made in house (we make a similar recipe). It's a little on the salty side, but yummy. The dish was a good size (I didn't finish it) and came out fast! My husband got a brisket burrito with the mild salsa also. He liked his food and said he felt like the salsa was good and influenced how he felt about the burrito. Also, this is NC after all so they have Cheerwine on tap which is always a welcome surprise. All in all: great spot for quick Mexi-kind. read more

Mexikind Taqueria - Pulled chicken burritos bowl was amazing top-tier food - Mexican Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

Mexikind Taxqueria was okay. We were hungry and we decided to go here. There was no line and we got our food quickly. The queso was bland so I probably wouldnt get that again. The portion sizes are pretty large, but so was the price. If you are in a pinch this place is not bad, but I might try next door next time. read more

Food was amazing. Great margaritas too. Everyone on our group raved about their burritos, fish tacos, chicken quesadillas and salsa. Super find. read more

Delicious brisket bowls and burritos paired well with a chilled Corona and Smoked Jalapeño Margarita! Hidden gem perfectly located in the back of the shopping center where you can find all the OBX gear you need. It's a chill vibe for when you need to escape the chaos. read more

Surprisingly high quality Mexican in Tim Buck 2 I love the casual easy order atmosphere It was perfect for date night and with 2 entrees and 2 drinks were under $50 Grab a beer out of fridge and enjoy read more

I was not happy to find out that our chicken burrito and quesadilla were not made with chicken breast but with dark chicken. Even Taco Bell uses white chicken meat. It was disgusting. And my "skinny" margarita tasted like seltzer water, didn't even taste like a margarita. Will not return. read more

The food was absolutely delicious! The price was extremely reasonable. Staff were nice and service was quick.

I'm still going 3 stars for this place - technically a 3.5 stars, a half star bump from my first visit - but not enough oomph (yet...) to round up to 4 stars. The half-star increase was for being the only Mexican place around in the Corolla area in the off season. If you're hankerin' for Mexican and in Corolla and don't feel like driving down South to KDH or beyond, this place is it. So I give them that. Really not bashing. Just sayin'. The place was eerily empty when I went there for lunch on a Sunday. Ordered to-go: a chicken quesadilla and an order of chips and queso. Cost me $20+ which, again as I mentioned in my last (first) review of this place, is high even for being in a beach/tourist town. Enjoyed the meal though. The food was fresh and good. The chips appeared to be housemade and tasted fresh, were crunchy and salted just so. The queso was hot even after getting it home (improvement from my last visit - maybe they were just having an off day with queso that day lol). Again, pluses besides the obvious (only Mexican fare in Corolla area during off season) were: easy-to-get-to location (In Timbuck II shopping center across from gas station and Brew Thru), parking no issues, plenty of seating, love the cafeteria style service, the interior is really cute, great dining area set-up (though small and cramped during in-season but to be expected) and CLEAN AND SPOTLESS - they really take care of the inside and it really shows. Oh - and service, including order taker / cashier, excellent - friendly, pleasant and efficient - granted I was the only customer there at the time but the food came out fast. I'm sure I'll give this place another shot and will report back again. read more

(This one is a bit from the archives as the visit took place in early June. While a few details have been lost to the sands of time the general gist is accurate.) It seems like every beach town/area worth visiting has a small local taco place where you can go and get simple/non-pretentious food that is worth it even if the prices are a little more than what you would like to pay. A few that come to mind: OCNJ: www.yelp.com/biz/don-jose-rojos-tacos-ocean-city Morehead City: www.yelp.com/biz/dank-burrito-morehead-city Daytona: www.yelp.com/biz/se%C3%B1or-taco-daytona-beach-2 Mexikind 100% fits that vibe. Let me start by saying that usually the four of us can rarely agree on a single place to eat out while on vacation which is why what happened here is so rare. The rare part is that we actually came back a 2nd time during our week in Corolla! Quesadilla (Cheese & Chicken) Tacos (All three meat options were tried) Pork Burrito Daily Special that I forget Chips & Queso First thing worth noting here is that the portion size is respectable. $3.25 for a taco to me is very much beach pricing but the size and flavor are certainly there. So is the ability to customize that hell out of everything. The queso is pricey but excellent. Out of the three main meat options the pork works the best. The chicken while I'm sure it's the healthiest, honestly didn't taste like much. It could have used some extra seasoning. The full menu is not on their website as they do offer a daily special or two that is only available on a dry erase board(s) at the restaurant. If you go: Mexikind is in the Timbuck II shopping complex on the far left side near the Shell gas station. In season if I remember they are open daily from 11-9 or 11-8 and they are closed seasonally I think the one guy said inside from November until the beginning of April. Nothing here is going to blow your mind or make you rethink the taco or the Cali-Mex experience. But the food is solid and I do appreciate the same crew that was on both times we visited being patient with a bunch of tourists who spent way too much time staring at the menu board as if we were gawking at an alien invasion. Also, if you are staying in Corolla, Mexikind is worth a visit just so that you can stay north of the stupidity that is dealing with the traffic in/around Duck. (Both of our visits were weekdays in early June and we had no issues with seating inside. Just about everyone coming inside was doing a take out order. Your experiences may vary.) read more

Mexikind Taqueria - Mexican Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

Food was really good a bit greasy but overall the best food I've had down here so far. Service was really great it was fast and they were super nice and everything was clean. The only thing I'd say was bad was the size of the fountain drink cups and the grease. read more

I was so disappointed. I came here 4 years ago when we were last in Corolla. I was so excited to return and the food was not what I remembered. First: the table was dirty as were the benches at the table. When we ordered the woman behind the counter couldn't have been more bothered by us (we had our order all ready. No questions. She just had to be pleasant and push the buttons). When the food came out: my son's tostada was just a corn tortilla, lettuce, cheese and sour cream. I didn't notice it until after he was already digging in that there was no rice or beans on it... which given how my burrito was- may be a good thing. I had the brisket burrito... it lacked flavor and I couldn't find any salsa. The meat was so minced up that it was like cat food. The rice was over cooked and beans were mush. The cheese wasn't even melted in the burrito and it was warm. Not hot, but barely above luke warm. So disappointing and not what I remember the place being. read more

Nice little eatery inside the ocean sands shops. Short wait time and quick service. We enjoyed the Beef nachos, kids' burritos, and taco salad. This place is clean and the food tastes fresh. My decision on that last star was no authentic dressings for the salad. Ken's Italian for a taco salad. Other then that this place was very good. read more

I went to this place for lunch with my family after traveling all day and the service was great. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you at the table. They were very quick and polite, considering we were a big group. The food was good, I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were good. Would definitely go back to this place for a quick eat during my time in the Outer Banks! read more

Mexikind Taqueria - Shrimp tacos - Mexican Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

This was rough. Our group ordered an assortment of stuff off the menu and none of it was more than mediocre. I personally got a chicken, barbacoa, and brisket tacos. The meet on all three was shredded meat that tasted like it came out of a slow cooker that was super liquidy. Whoever made my tacos put a MASSIVE amount of cold salsa on each to the point it turned the tacos cold and had to scraped off. I asked for no lettuce and got lettuce. Its definitely a good spot for something quick but for the most part, its pretty bland. My kids got chicken quesadillas which were a good portion size and pretty good so that is a plus. Overall, Mexikind was pretty bland and the margs were overpriced and veryyyy sweet like they were poorly portioned when mixed. read more

I can not recommend this restaurant. I warned the person taking my order that it would be large, and even tipped nearly 30% on our dinner for two adults and four kids. The service was awful, I was charged for food I wasn't served, nothing came out in an orderly fashion, and the staff was rude to our friends, whose order was also incorrect. The food was fine, but certainly not worth what you're paying. read more

So this had potential, but ultimately failed. Service was subpar and I've was definitely anti-customer. Too many little signs around which were very demanding of customers. I wasn't thrilled with any part of the experience. read more

We got there early (before 6:00) and got a table. The line as we were leaving was out the door. Waited a little while for our food but it was worth it. Was a great casual place for dinner during our vacation! read more

Good food! Great Queso! Quick Service! The habanero salsa was spicy but really good.

I really didn't want to post this, but the service and staff are an abomination. The staff is apathetic bordering on deliberately rude. It took an exceptionally long time for the food to be served although there are plenty of workers. This was noticeable by most patrons. Serving people is not their specialty. read more

We went here after a disastrous pizza experience We were pleasantly surprised. They have a. Smallish menu but that's ok because is a tacoria not a full restaurant. Only hand helds The tacos were good chicken beef or pork. The group agrees the pork or beef were the best The queso was very good The salsa was quite spicy The quesadilla was good As were the burritos We are planning a return visit for the third time in 3 days read more

Ian is awesome. Love the margaritas. Had a great time eating the food and the tasty Tacos. I'll be back.

On my most recent visit to the Outer Banks we ate at Mexikind Taqueria. First things first the restaurant had no inside bathrooms and the locks on the single bathrooms was broke. Secondly no greeting whatsoever when we entered and the waitress literally screams at you when she brings out your food. I am not sure to be honest if she may be hearing impaired but it didn't seem to be the case. The quality of the food was nothing short of amazing so it compensated for the $130 food bill. I got the taco salad and you just can't beat it! Everything everyone got was good. Lastly, the place is decorated in art and it's kind of a beach, artsy place, I definitely would recommend . read more

Mexikind? More like Mexi-kind-of.... This place is rough... the food was almost inedible and nothing had any flavor. The salsa and the queso both taste like water - no flavor at all in anything. Sadly the worst "Mexican" food I've ever had... read more

Terrible service. Employees do not speak English, we didn't get one of the meals we ordered and we were changed for it. My daughter had a hair in her Nachos. The guacamole had no flavor and the avocado was in chunks. Our friends' order was wrong too and the employee was arguing with them about messing up their order. I would never go to this restaurant again. read more

Waited an hour and a half for a carry order reflects very poor customer service. Employee at the front said that only one cook is on duty. What kind of manager is running this place? Don't know if there was a callout but one cook for a Wednesday night in a busy beach town? Upon waiting I saw multiple employees (with the logo on their shirt) standing on the back-deck. I understand employee breaks but all at the same time?? Finally get the food, cold chicken tacos that honest to god smell like vomit, and with cheese when I specifically asked for none. Thanks for an awful dinner I was unable to eat, and a complete waste of time. read more

This review is long over due. My friends and I were at the beach back in October 2020. With Covid and just off season in general, the whole place was a ghost town. Luckily this place was open and more than willing to accommodate for our huuuuge order! I placed the order on the phone and picked it up within 30 minutes. Everything was fresh and tasty. The star of the show was their habanero salsa. That shit was like crack!! Since we got a lot of chips and salsa there was quite a bit of leftover so we ate some with our eggs the next morning and let me tell you.... its been 4 months and I still think about their habanero salsa to this day. read more

The food here was delicious. We enjoyed the tacos, burritos, chips, and queso dip. Service was friendly. It's located in the Tim Buck II shopping center. read more

Had a couple of classic margaritas and mixed match tacos (carnitas, mahi-mahi and beef brisket) and they were terrific, Baja style! every salsa and sours are freshly homemade. Make time to stop here, you won't be disappointed. EDIT: I've visited this restaurant twice now, in the "off season" and during a peak weekend (memorial day weekend) and if you're a Corolla soul you know how hard is to find a spot that is great and is open in both scenarios. Well Mexikind is one of a kind. read more

Great spot for a quick lunch. Chipotle style menus but far superior! Chicken Fresca was delicious as was the brisket bowl. Kind, friendly and fast service. read more
