We found out about this hole in the wall during the outer banks restaurant tour (go on this). We enjoyed it so much, that we went back for dinner. We had the pork belly tacos and the soft shell tacos. Both were amazing. Great food, good beer, neat atmosphere. Excellent service. Definitely on our short list of must go places... More

I went to the Bad Bean for the first time in 2012 and fell in love with their fish tacos (so fresh, perfectly made!), so we returned in 2013. I had the fish taco, as well as an equally delicious and steaming hot soft shell taco. The (hot fresh crispy) chips were wonderful, paired with one of the hottest salsas... More

Many locals eat here and among them is a regular cadre of restaurateurs who enjoy Bad Bean when they go out. My point is, we go here for a reason, it is ALWAYS terrific and they ALWAYS have a great special - just imagine a Pork-Belly or Soft Shell Crab Taco, or better yet, one of each - oh yeah,... More

If you are looking for great tex mex style food with great vegan and veggie options. This is the place. They are fast, friendly, and family friendly too. Don't miss out the bad bean is a locals favorite.

My husband and I were introduced to this place on an Outer Banks restaurant tour. I can't say enough good things about this place. Excellent salsas and guacamole. The pork belly tacos are insanely good and the fresh fish tacos were also delicious. Fabulous, fresh upscale Mexican food in an unpretentious setting with good prices. You must seek out this... More

Don't judge this book by it's cover. Tucked in the corner of a small shopping center it is a delight. Bright, clean and fresh and then there is the food. We had a party of eight and everyone's food was great. Fresh made guacamole and salsa, a wonderful sweet potato and corn soup, fresh sword fish on a mashed yucca... More

We are locals and go here all the time. Great taco specials and margarita's. Very reasonable prices. Great service

Stopped by for something to take out. Never eaten here, but, a while back have eaten at Bad Bean Taquoria in Corolla, their sister locale. Young (I guessed local) man passed by me at the entrance while I was checking out the menu posted at the door. He indicated that I was in for a treat. The decor is bright... More

They have redecorated and added a bigger bar area which was a very nice addition to a nice place already. We had the Cali Burrito and 2 tacos (fish and beef). Everything was very good, fresh and tasty. We also got an order of fries and these were some sort of spectacular and impressed me more than anything else. They... More
