“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.“

“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!!!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“
