PUERTO ESCONDIDO KENANSVILLE

Well the food was excellent and the margaritas are also top notch however when it came time for me to go i asked for a to go cup for the margarita that I had not finished (it was the medium one which was huge) the manager stated that they could not do that however under the Senate bill 527 restaurants are allowed to let you take out alcoholic beverages provided food is ordered as you can see at the beginning of this post I ordered food and they did not allow me to get my drink in a cup to take with me so with that being said I give this establishment a 3

Since April 2025, I noticed that the portion sizes are significantly smaller while prices have gone up. This could be due to a new manager but I have reduced my visits from 4-6 times/month until once per month.

Great food. I'm just a Mexican restaurant lover, so EVERYTHING is good to me...

Always busy, always happy, the calmest time to go in. Is as soon as they open, but after that. The wave doesn't stop till about 5:30pm. Only for the next wave to hit from 6PM on to closing.
Staff is amazing, they're polite, knowledgeable on the menu, inviting, and always greet with a smile.
The food, it doesn't only look good, it never lacks taste.
10 out of 10, eat here again.

Music way too loud, felt humid inside. Food is ok

Place is absolutely awesome would recommend if you've never been

Best mexican in Beulaville/Kenansville area. Generous portions, good atmosphere with friendly staff

We eat here 3-4 times per month and are never dissappointed. My personal favorite is the Camarones Monterey. My friends and I decided to try a flight of the new margaritas with the spiced rims, and they were all so good we couldn’t pick a favorite. (we forgot to take a picture of the drinks) Food, service, atmosphere, and prices are all great!

Very good food 👌 😋

Food was super good! The habanero sauce is delicious. The waitress was super nice and attentive. Will definitely be returning.

Really good. Had Texas Fajitas for two.

Had several different dishes, dine in and takeout and they’ve always been delicious! Highly recommend

Everything was amazing from the food, the drinks and the atmosphere. Will be our regular monthly dining experience for now on.

I had the beef and chicken nachos, man! they were excellent! Best Mexican food I have ever eaten!

I’ve visited this restaurant a few times now but only with drive thru. The servers are friendly which is major for me. There are restaurants I will refuse to go to simply because the service is trash, so I do appreciate that they value their customers.

The food, however, needs a bit of tweaking. I usually get the chicken fajitas, and the chicken is either undercooked or overly cooked. The chips are ALWAYS stale, and they store their chips in a trash bin which I found to be a bit unappealing. Regardless if the trash bin has only been used for chips, it looks bad to customers. The cheese dip is too salty. And, they charge a fee for drive thru services, which I found unnecessary, but I haven’t seen another Mexican restaurant with a drive thru, so I guess it’s a convenience fee.

I won’t give up on this restaurant. Hopefully, they can fine tune everything soon because I think it has the potential to be a premier restaurant in our community.
