“Hidden gem in Rocky Point... I kept saying we needed a good sit-down restaurant in Rocky Point and have been disappointed with the lack of places to dine other than fast food. I didn't even realize this place existed but inside is very nice authentic Mexican cuisine. The staff was super friendly and I love having the Mexican Coca-Cola with real sugar!! For lunch, I had a quesabirria with a Coke and will definitely frequent this establishment now that I know there's a good Mexican restaurant nearby!“

“This place is amazing. Their white sauce and queso are to die for. The tacos are the best I’ve ever had before! The desserts are beyond delicious. I highly recommend this place. 10 out of 10“

“Visited this amazing restaurant for the first time yesterday. Extremely clean establishment with a mouth watering aroma. The staff here are super friendly and courteous. Ordered steak & chicken fajitas. This is by far the best authentic Mexican Food I've ever eaten in my life. Steak was cooked to perfection and the chicken was moist and perfectly seasoned. After eating, I actually went back and ordered the same entrée again to carry back with me to our home in Zebulon, NC. I highly recommend this incredible restaurant. Five Stars!!!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“K38 on Carolina Beach Rd…. Great food, great prices and the staff is the best part. Ask for Emma!!!! If she is not on duty ask for Alexa….“

“My mom had told me about this place that has dollar tacos after 5pm and how much she enjoyed it and wanted to take me. We went before 5 pm and the tacos were 2 dollars, only stipulation was you have to buy a drink to get them for the discounted price! Love this place. Very good! Even comes with Tortilla chips and your choice of 4 salsas!“

“La verdad la comida está súper deliciosa, tortillas hechas a mano, un poco chicas, así q si eres bien tortillero sugiero q pidas otra orden, y no solamente tienen caldos los fines de semana , si no también entre semana. Lo recomiendo al 100%😉“

“Got real Carne asada, with real red sauce that actually had heat and flavor, served with some old fashioned tortillas and grilled onions. It slapped! 🌮🔥People complaining about the portions obviously didn’t pay attention to the size of the tacos. Hella carne, all fresh everything. I’ll be trying the other tacos soon.“

“Kylie was the sweetest server! So incredibly helpful and kind! Best food as well as amazing deal with $2 tacos!“

“This is the best one in Wilmington in my opinion. Food seems the freshest here and the chicken is the least weird. I would watch out for the steak somewhat unpredictable. Good size. Decent staff. Always pretty clean. Lots of kids in here.

Vegetarian options: I’d be careful.

Dietary restrictions: You can pick and choose, but there’s a lot of mixing

Parking: Going to be kind of busy

Kid-friendliness: Lots of stuff for the kids in here and plenty of kids seats.

Wheelchair accessibility: Pretty big aisle, and the checkout line is very wide very accessible.“

“my girlfriend and I decided to stop by Islands Fresh Mex Grill today for the first time. it's in our neighborhood. the food was great. we have a new place, now. we'll return. we recommend it.“

“I’d rate it Six Stars if it would let me. We’ve had lunch there the last two days and going there for dinner tonight. The Killer Carne Tacos have the best carne asada I’ve ever had. Second lunch, I had the Citrus Shrimp Tacos and they are equally awesome“

“We had our first meal at La Brasa last night and it was absolutely the best Mexican food I’ve had in Wilmington in the decade I’ve been here. I started simple because I think it’s a good judge of a restaurant to see how well they do the basics. Beef tacos. Delicious and perfect. I woke up craving them all over again. Can’t wait to dive into their other dishes!“

“Delicious fresh food at Moe’s!😋“

“It was restocking at the time I was shopping there, but it is a pleasant place to go and get the bare essentials. Idk that they have any butchered meat available, but they had some fruits, plenty of imported snacks, imported fruit drinks, imported beer from Mexico, spices, peppers, and other items that you would find at a Latin American store.“

“I know I didn't come in for pick up until almost close (9:20pm) but the chips were cold, and the crunch was stale. As for the app... just be aware that if you are ordering for more than one person they break down the charge per person which is kinda cool for the sake of others paying their fair share, but I wasn't familiar and it was confusing at first. I was greeted promptly and with attentitivness. The store was clean and well lit. The food delicious - I had a burrito and tacos. The spicy red salsa was more like chili paste, so I'd recommend either the chunky or green one. The parking lot was kinda tiny, no room for error.“

“my hubby and I love Amy's burrito barn. it is our go-to lunch place and I highly recommend. That said, I was very disappointed to bite into my shrimp poboy and discover they had completely changed it. ugh!! If that is all I knew of Amy's was that particular burrito, I probably wouldn't be back. BUT I was talking to some.staff and they said next time to just ask for the original poboy and not the new.one. menu changes of loved things always drivee.nuts. the portions are great and there the staff is always friendly and helpful.“

“Tacos were so good“

“Best dinner!! Thank you to the staff for always serving consistently awesome food!! Best Mexican restaurant east of the Mississippi 🥰“

“My husband and I went for $5- burger night. The place was clean friendly staff Delicious 😋 best burger I've had in awhile recommend pairing with truffle fries. I will definitely go back also worth mentioning ample parking.“

“I’ve long been a Wilmington Moe Monday fan and after being moved away for a year, am happy that the crew and burritos are still awesome! And their new restaurant by the mall (College and Oleander moved) is very nice! Glad I stopped by on my trip home!“

“Went with my girlfriend yesterday. Food was delicious, waitress service was great, and the place was beautifully decorated! Recommend!“

“Wonderful staff and delicious food!!“

“El mejor restaurante Hondureño de Wilmington 💓🫶❤️ RICO“

“This Taco Bell is incredible. The first question they have asked me time to time in the drive thru is "How are you?" No other drive thru has done this. This shows an immense amount of empathy in their establishment. They supply absolute fantastic work but also 100% consideration for their public needs. I recommend them. Their managers are top tier and they treat their staff with respect and flourish in this locations business. There is a great energy going here.“
