“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!“

“Left the dentist office and saw this restaurant. Decided that is where I’m getting my lunch. Walked in and was greeted by a lady that was polite and she spoke English which was even better.

“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!!!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

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

“K38 at The Forum is always a great spot, but what really makes it stand out are the bartenders Holly, Brooke, and Isabelle. They’re the kind of people who make you feel welcome the moment you sit down. Whether it’s remembering your usual drink, recommending something new, or just keeping the good vibes going, they nail it every time!“

“Such a great experience at this Chipotle. Came in to grab lunch for me and my husband 7/19.
The restaurant was super clean, service was great and the food tasted so good.
I feel like Chipotle has been hit or miss the last few years but this experience was definitely a hit.
Will be returning to this location for sure“

“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.“

“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!😋“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“
