    Pulled chicken burritos bowl was amazing  top-tier food
    Keeya B.

    We left another establishment in the area because we didn't feel comfortable and stumbled across MexiKind. The cashier was warm and inviting. Even asked if I needed a margarita. Made my moment. My girls loved the environment and commented that they feel better here. We'll be back or we will place a to-go order to next time.

    Second year in a row coming here while staying in OBX. I always get the chicken burrito bowl and my boyfriend gets a burrito. We both love the food it comes out fresh, service is always friendly and quick as well! Love coming here!

    The mahi mahi burrito made me gooey in my pants. Most egregiously sized burrito I've ever seen and the flavor was spectacular.  5 BOOMS

    Chips & Queso - $7.99 - pricey
    I C.

    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.

    (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.)

    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.

    This sounded cantina is a favorite of our group. Plenty of parking and a few tables on the deck. If…read moreyou can grab a couple of Adirondack chairs or a table then you can experience a nice sunset. There's a great group of staff working the food and drinks areas. Pricing on the drinks and food is very reasonable. They offer a few types of wine based margaritas, a bunch of draft beers and my favorite THC seltzers. Their quesadilla options are beef and chicken. The portion is huge, enough to share. Always a favorite of ours.

    Coastal Cantina is our favorite restaurant to stop at on our way into Duck or Corolla. Every year,…read morewe look forward to crab quesadillas before we check into our beach house. The location is very convenient to a variety of shops and a great way to kill some time before a 4PM rental check-in. The chips and salsa, chips and queso, and margaritas are all favorites of our family. The food comes out quickly and is always delicious. The staff is always quick to help fix any issues that arise and they are kind and knowledgeable. The sound side dining is nice and perfect with a breeze. The only negative is that it can get quite hot, which is obviously no fault of the restaurant. Always a great to-go option if the heat is too much to dine in. Also to note is that they have a great selection of beers. This is a family tradition we love coming back to each year and will continue to for years to come!
