I recommend going there to anyone visiting the outer banks. The restaurant is great to go for a casual lunch or dinner, or even for a date night. Great food and staff, I've eaten there many times and never had a bad experience. they serve the best burrito and fajitas in towm. Other Mexican places give a choice of either... More

Excellent service and atmosphere. Owner Tony and his staff will go all out to make you happy! The jalepeno cheeseburger is the best in Manteo. And if you're really hungry try the gigantic burrito!! Will return soon!!

I am not a picky eater and usually give a place the benefit of the doubt if I dont have a good experience but this was exceptionally bad food. We live in Manteo and have eaten here about 3 months ago and were unimpressed but chalked it up to luck of the draw that day. Tonight we went with the... More

The food was fresh, hot and a lot of it. Portions were more than generous, the staff more than delightful and the price was not so bad. We'll be back again and again.

Wasn't sure about this place but the term 'Latin' caught our eye. We love Mexican but being more than Mexican excited us. Stopped by and the menu is not as big as some Mexican restaurants but most good restaurants don't try to make everything. They have a limitied selection but that allows them to focus on quality, not on the... More

OK, so it's not much to look at, but it is by far the best, most authentic Mexican food on The OBX. Take it from someone who travels frequently to Mexico, Central & South America.

This somewhat easy to miss place (look for the Piggly Wiggly next door) was great. The food was plenteous, the prices good, and the service was wonderful. They didn't have cheese enchiladas on the menu, but they made it for me. This is probably THE place to eat if you visit The Lost Colony, Fort Raleigh, or the NC Aquarium... More

The food and service were great. Trying to find the place on an iPhone map was difficult. Don't be fooled it is just south of the aquarium (on 64), not out by the bridge like the map says. We called to get the right directions and they were very helpful, and it was worth backtracking for. The food quality is... More
