Top 5 Mexican Restaurant in North Carolina

Osprey Shopping Center, North Carolina Hwy 12, Buxton, NC 27920, United States

“Great local eatery! We waited about 20 minutes for a seat at the counter (only 2 of us- so that was fine.) FYI- There are only a handful of tables - larger parties need to be flexible. Our late lunch was well worth the wait! We had the homemade chips and salsa as an appetizer. Before we were finished with it, our food arrived. I ordered grilled old bay grouper tacos and my other half ordered grilled old bay shrimp tacos. Both platters arrived quickly. They were fresh, well-cooked and beautifully presented. I added onion straws. He added fries. Both were piping hot and delicious! Food is great and the atmosphere is quirky. Come hungry. Be patient. Leave happy and full! Highly recommend trying them out. We will return!”

“Nice and quiet place to chill out if you don't want to get beat to death by the ocean waves. Kid and handicapped friendly. Watch out for the sand burrs and you'll be fine. (can't hold the sand burrs against them.... that's just part of going to the OBX)”

The drive through is Perfect for these colder months when getting out of the car alone is a mission. Loved the Mexican tacos and super flavorful rice. I’ll surely be back! Restaurant was super clean and well maintained inside. Thanks for the kindness to Devin and I again! 🫶🌯🌮”

”Ooooweeee! The food here is top notch. LOVE the tacos, especially the al pastor. The quesabirria comes highly recommended, as well. So far, each time we have visited we have had great customer service, and never had a hard time finding parking. There are two patios, and one tends to stay in the shade, while the other gets mostly afternoon sun. I think this is gonna be my go to Mexican spot here in town for a while...”

”Food has no spice to it. Very "white" Mexican place. Wasn't terrible tho. Got the acp and the chicken was just boiled with black pepper on it. Queso is just cheese. No spices added.”

501 Washington St C, Durham, NC 27701, United States

”The only reason I didn't give them all stars was due to the bar not having a television for my game this evening. Other than that this is my new spot. Cute, relaxing, nice music, such a vibe. My service was excellent (Kate) she was awesome with her knowledge of the menu and foods. She actually suggested my dessert which was the Zucchini cake (yum 😋) I hope to be seated with her again my next visit”

”The dishes are wayy too overpriced for the amount of food you get. The quality of the food was terrible to me and my girlfriend. It was pure vegetables. Rabbit food. We ordered beef and chicken enchiladas and there was literally no meat on the enchiladas. But they piled the vegetables on top of the enchiladas. Which was too spicy. So much lettuce, onions, and salsa on the enchiladas that you couldn’t taste the meats. The service wasn’t bad but the food was awful. I would not recommend going here to anyone. This was my first and last experience here. I didn’t mind the demographic of the restaurant but I feel like they take advantage with the price because the people who come are probably already drunk or looking to drink.”

”Luna's food exceeded my expectations. They slow cook their food and you can really taste the difference. I got the pulled pork with kale, Beans and coconut rice. I was very satisfied. Also, their home made hot sauce is outstanding!”

”AMAZING!! AUTHENTIC Mexican food. The Mosh Quesadillas were made with homemade tortillas and incredibly delicious. The Elote was HOT and mouth watering!! The California burrito was HUGE and packed with flavor. A DEFINITE place to stop either coming or going to OBX. As a local, I cant believe I haven't been here until now. I will be back very soon.”

492 Patterson Ave, Winston-Salem, NC 27101, United States

”Food was great! We will be back soon everything was good, big portions definitely gets you full quickly. The atmosphere was cool not too loud outside like other outside restaurants in downtown overall very calm environment with the lights and music. Give it a try!”
