Mexican Restaurants near Carolina Beach

“El C serves good quality tasty Mexican food. The restaurant itself is interesting to look at with its decor and architecture. Plenty of seating and It's popular with both locals and tourists. My honey and I are both pescatarian and even though the menu is big we were a little disappointed that there's no salmon or other types of fishes for an entree choice. They have fish tacos but they're fried and not grilled. No vegetarian or vegan soups. They serve chips and salsa and we ordered extra guacamole which was tasty. We had the vegetarian burrito and shrimp fajitas. They give a big portion of grilled shrimp which was cooked and seasoned nicely. For dessert we ordered the Xango cheesecake and sopapillas. Both were good but the cheesecake was the best out of the two. The service was a little slow but they get busy . Overall it was good for us.“

“Flaming Amy’s never disappoints but this location was so good. The staff really delivered. Smiles, attentive, fast and personable. They have such a great selection for vegetarians. And the food was amazing. The patrons… questionable. But everything else was top tier.“

“I love this place so much. I wanted to have my baby shower here until my friends told me a taco shack covered in skateboards wasn’t an appropriate venue for a baby shower. So, I ditched the friends and went to Nollies for some tacos.FR the Tofu tacos are my fave but you honestly can’t go wrong with any choice❤️Vegetarian options: Jackfruit AND tofu, what’s not to love? Also they have vegan salsas.Parking: Pay for parking even if you have a town pass or park at Sea Witch on Canal if you do have a town passKid-friendliness: Several options for high chairs (for low tables and high) but fair warning there are no changing tables in the bathroom (no space for it, we just change our kid in the car if we need)Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp and close to disabled parking“

“My ACP with mushrooms and zucchini was delivered to my table very hot like it was supposed to be. There was so much of it I couldn't even eat it all, but it was delicious. My husbands quesadilla was extremely crispy like he likes and he was in Heaven. He was amazed by it being cooked right the first time around. The service was perfect and on point. Our waiter had been there for years and never wrote anything down so I was surprised everything came out perfect. I wished we had one locally. I will be visiting again“

“Went for the first time on a late Sunday afternoon. Pretty slow. Still greeted with a smile while we looked at the menu. Lots of good stuff to choose from. Easy kids menu. All three of us ordered. The employees were very patient with our 9 year old. The two of them worked together. Made everything flawlessly and quickly, all while smiling and communicating with us. Everything was delicious. Hot, fresh, and accurate. Can’t wait to go back to try some other options. Oh yeah, the queso was amazing!!!!“
