Their shredded chicken is now clumps of fat and dark meat :( boo
Amazing food and even better people! Great staff and customer service. Our favorite place on the island! Go to order. Fish Taco and The Real Dilla with Shrimp!
Best breakfast in Hampstead! Hidden gem for sure! 🤙
Very solid fish taco's! Two and a beer is the perfect lunch, a first stop for us when we hit the island.
Parking: I always hit them with a good tip and tacos are huge.

You state in your response to my review regarding the flies: 1)"when the wind blows in a 'certain direction'." Is that certain direction a secret? If you were actuallystating a fact, why would you fail to specify which direction?; 2) "Obviously, this is something we cannot control no matter how much time and resources..." Well, no. That is not obvious. And tell me what positive measures you have taken to mitigate your fly infestation. How much time and which resources have you expended on the flies? Have you actually tried to remedy the problem?
Amazing fish taco and burrito/bowl options. Everyone loved the food and atmosphere!

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Surf City—we've been coming here for years, and the food is excellent, especially for the price!
I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons:
First, we’ve recently noticed a lot of birds and flies in the main dining area. I understand this is hard to control, but it's reached the point where it feels uncomfortable to sit and eat.
Second, while the service is generally great, the tipping situation feels awkward. Every time you check out, you’re prompted to leave a tip, even for takeout. And if you dine in, it’s not typical table service—you order at the counter, and they just bring the food to you.
I understand why businesses do this, but it feels off to be asked to tip when there’s no added service. It puts customers in a tough spot, having to choose between tipping for no real reason or feeling guilty for skipping it in front of the cashier.
These aren’t major issues, and we’ll definitely be back, but the experience would improve if they could address the bird/bug situation and make the tip screen feel less obligatory.
