We ate here based on DDD which has not steered us wrong. We were not disappointed. We liked the location, close to everything downtown, it was casual, clean, interesting, attractive and the food was very good. My husband had the fish tacos and he said they were excellent. He has fish tacos often so I would say he is a... More

We went based on seeing ob DDD. Food was very good. Beer list was above average. Place is nice inside. The only issue was when it got busy, the service went way down hill (we got there early and left during the rush). I don't know if this was something specific on our day, our server or is how they...

Wonderful food here! The pulled pork nachos, the roast beef wrap, the stuff jalapenos, the churros for dessert, and more to name. Ask for "Johnny" as a waiter if he is working. Great guy and good waiter. Priced reasonably for the OBX.

The food is good and large portions. We ordered the chips and salsa, disappointed with that choice. We like our chips thin and crispy and these were thick. /the salsa needed more cilantro. The crab and 3 cheese pasta was excellent and my husband's burritos were also good. This is a family style restaurant. The service was also excellent. This... More

I had the spring rolls with crabmeat added (extra $4-5). Very blah, and hardly any crab meet. My son had the mac-n-cheese and liked that alot. Donot get the chips & salsa, the chips had no taste and salsa very bland. Would not go back.

We were told this was a Tex-Mex place, but it really isn't. But the food and service was very good. I had the crab mac & cheese...it was wonderful!

The food is so delicious and fresh, you'll want to go back several times. The wait staff is very friendly and efficient. This is by far the best southwestern restaurant I've been to. Everything they serve has it's own "flair" and you will not be disappointed!

Food was okay. Nothing extraordinary. The service was okay. The bartender ended up taking our table and he was awesome.
