    Tacos are worth a trip to Carolina Beach! Excellent tacos - had the mahi taco and shrimp tacos. Excellent! Just the right amount of spiciness. One block off ocean. Beachy, laid back vibe. Will be back.

    Nollie's was our favorite place we ate while visiting Carolina Beach! Starting with our drinks and The Full Monty (their assortment of salsas, queso, and guac) we were already quite happy! The skateboards on the walls & ceiling make for fun viewing from your table. After this, we each did 3 tacos. The sauce that comes on the shrimp & mahi tacos is absolutely delicious! On top of it all, service was quick & friendly! We will definitely be back on any return visits to CB!!

    Cheers!

    We just discovered Nollie's Taco Joint and we are SOLD! Amazing tacos (and nachos, right hubs??? Spoiler alert- he couldn't finish them). It's rare for us to find a place we both REALLY like, plus has good beverages. And Omigosh-- Prosecco on draft!!!!! And if Jessica is running things downstairs, you'll be in good hands. Already planning what I'm ordering when we come back. Yum Yummily Yummers!

    Chips and queso.

    Nollies tacos are fantastic! We were so glad we checked this place out. You can basically get chicken, shrimp, asada or mahi as tacos, nachos, or a quesadilla. I opted for tacos and my husband got a quesadilla. We also shared guacamole and chips. The meal was fresh and delicious! Full bar, beer and wine options. The people there are so nice too! The staff were friendly and we met a couple regulars too. Nice older gentleman that's lived in the area for 30 years was especially kind to us. There are seats outside and a bar inside facing out. You can't quite see the beach but you feel that nice ocean breeze and people watch. There are also a few tables inside. We will definitely go back on our next visit!

    Food wasn't bad but not the best I have ever had. Our friends had the asada taco and burrito and the meat was very grisly. The bathroom was very dirty and we didn't like that we had to pay for parking.

    Feeling hungry, 6 friends and I went in for dinner last night visiting Carolina Beach. We ordered waters for the table as well as other drinks to which we were provided plastic water bottles and cups which I thought was peculiar but I digress. We ordered a scrumptious batch of fresh chips and queso to start, and while the tacos were also delectable, I wouldn't say they were worth the long wait. While I'm not keen on the exact timeframe, it was long enough for my beer to be warm and flat! As upsetting as this was, overall the food was pretty good but there are definitely better tacos (and Mexican food overall) in the area.

    Just wanted to follow up on my original review of Nollie's Taco Joint, happy to report it's still just as good as I remembered. We ordered the salsa sampler, jackfruit tacos, and fish tacos this time around. Everything was amazing, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The jackfruit tacos especially stood out, and the variety of salsas was a great way to kick things off. Seating is still pretty limited, which is something to keep in mind. It's a first-come, first-served setup, and we ended up grabbing seats at the bar (which actually turned out great). Drinks came out fast, which was a bonus, and the overall vibe remained relaxed and welcoming. This place continues to be a solid go-to if you're looking for great tacos and a laid-back beach-town feel. Just get there early or be ready to hover for a seat, totally it's worth it.

    FANTASTIC taco joint!!! The queso is banging! The Mahi tacos are on time. The tofu taco is amazing. The jackfruit is delicious! The atmosphere is dive bar and punk. Music selection was the BEST. Great service! Shoulda taken pics earlier but this was all that was left.

    Service and ambiance were awesome. The whole taco place is skateboard themed. From the name of the restaurant to items on the menu and the skateboards attached to the ceiling, it was such a vibe! Service was great to the point where the staff helped us getting free parking due to some spots not charging during winter months. The food was good but definitely had better tacos! You come here for the chill and affordable ambiance and get to eat some yammi food but it won't be like your authentic hole in the wall taco joint.

    Is there such thing as a "dive" restaurant?! If so - this is that. Very friendly - mom & pop type service. Seating is first come first serve with a lot of take out orders made. Very small inside - decorated with lots of cool skateboards. A million bottles of hot sauce for your sampling (if you dare)! Tacos are delicious! Recommend mahi, shrimp, and asada - hubby loved the chicken too! If you're in the Carolina beach area - stop in here - at least for a snack!

    We eat here every time we come to CB. It's my favorite. We got 4 different tacos to share and the salsa appetizer. So good!

    I stopped in twice yesterday. The first visit was fine -- nothing memorable, but fine. Geneva was…read morebartending both times. The second visit, however, came with a greeting I've never heard in my fifty‑plus years: "You've been out all day. I can't serve you because I'll be liable if you're over served." I've bartended before. I understand the responsibility. But I was never asked a single question about what I'd actually been doing. For clarity: we had lunch at Michael's Seafood before our first visit. I had one non‑alcoholic seltzer at Island Beverage, and my partner had a four‑flight sampler. After that, we went thrifting and shopping at Goodwill, Lowe's Foods, and Dollar Tree. No drinking. No bar‑hopping. Nothing even close. On our second visit, Geneva gave us water and let us charge a phone -- and I do appreciate that. But being told "you've been out all day" instead of "welcome back" was unnecessary, inaccurate, and frankly insulting. It was an assumption presented as fact, and it was embarrassing. What made it even more absurd was watching Geneva continue to serve patrons who were clearly intoxicated while I sat there with a glass of water. So here's the takeaway: Don't go in twice in one day. Apparently that alone is enough to get treated like you've been drinking all over town. After this experience, I won't be going in on any day. I hope the staff can handle situations like this with actual communication instead of jumping straight to conclusions.

    We pleasantly stumbled across this place, looking for some local brews, while visiting for the…read moreweek. They had a more than ample selection of local brews on tap, and all that we sampled were delish. They had a huge selection of wine and even served wine by the glass. There were a ton of games to play while you sip, which will be on our agenda next time. The bartender couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming to 2 non-locals! Next time we are bringing the rest of the crew!
