Corolla Cantina

Went for dinner on a Tuesday around 6pm. This place is teeny tiny! There is more seating on the small outside patio than inside tables. We sat at the bar since there were no available tables, which worked well for us. The staff was friendly. They were good with everyone I saw them interact with and checked on us often enough. Full bar available, I had a vodka pineapple and they had 3 types of vodka (Tito's, Absolut & Stoli). They also Had beer, hard seltzers, etc. Mexicanish food on the menu. We started with nachos. They were fine. Nothing great, nothing bad. Then we had quesadillas. I tried the veggie-Dee with chicken, friend had chicken and cheese. Again, it was fine. Stuffed pretty full, so can't complain. I saw some other people with the taco platter and it looked like a lot of food. Cute place to have a few drinks and a few quick eats. Beach vibe. If looking for something easy, stop by. If looking for something great there are plenty of those around.

Although staff was very friendly and patient with our party of 10+, the food was very mid. The raw tuna was very fatty and didn't have a good taste, we couldn't even eat it. This food was absolutely not worth the steep price tag!

Sat at the bar, bartender was nice. Ordered the queso fries and chicken quesadilla. The fries were delicious but I would call them cheese fries more than queso fries not a whole lot of spice, very peppery. The quesadilla was alright, I got a chewy tendon peice of chicken in mine which turned me off. Overall the place is cute, food is subpar.

We ate here twice this week because we liked it so much the first time. They have a unique menu and we love their food so much! It has a seafood mix with Mexican type menu. Love the atmosphere here as you can eat inside or outside on the patio. They do allow dogs on the patio, but we love dogs so didn't mind. I had the bbq plate the first night and it was so yummy. I had the burrito the second night and it was great too, but I liked the bbq plate the best. Hubby loved the shrimp tacos. Their chips and dip and crab fries are so good. Service was pretty good. Highly recommend if In Corolla.

good ambiance and fresh food. and good attentive service. look for the horse statue out front.

We chose this spot for dinner because it was close by and the wait wasn't too long. The chips sampler was good, but I wish it had more salsa, guac, and queso to go with all the chips. I tried the taco platter, which came with coconut rice, black beans, slaw, cheddar, salsa, sour cream, Chipotle aioli, grilled chicken and tortillas, so you could build your own. I thought it was pretty underwhelming considering it was $18. The chicken was a bit dry, the rice didn't have a coconut flavor, and the presentation was just alright. Their service was quick and the coconut mojito was great, but I would probably opt to try another Mexican place in the area next time!

Corolla Cantina is not your typical Mexican restaurant. Instead, it does offer some unique dishes for the Outer Banks. I had the Currituck Club Quesadillas. This dish had jerked chicken as its main ingredient. Accompanied by sour cream, shredded lettuce and tomato. Very good. There is a build your own taco platter, but no standard enchiladas or tacos. Inside seating is limited, but there is ample outdoor seating. Restrooms are outside and around the corner of the building.

Walked the Duck Boardwalk and stopped by for a late lunch. Food was pretty good for the price point, my wife had a crab quesadilla and I had a pulled pork bowl. I also had a draft beer and got a souvenir cup with $4 refills, initial beer was $8.Nothing fancy, order food at the bar and they bring to the table. Most seats are on the boardwalk, so nice water view at picnic type tables. If you want a descent meal at a reasonable price (for OBX) this is a worthwhile stop!

Stopped in for lunch. We sat outside under the pergola. Fun atmosphere with music and fans to keep us cool! Sesame tuna and mango salsa were both delicious! Hanna was an excellent server! I highly recommend Corolla Cantina!

My family of 6 came here for my son's birthday. We ordered our drinks and then went to order our food. My daughter and I started to ask if we could split the nachos and have the stuff she doesn't like to one side of the plate. The waitress told us that the cook won't do that. We ended up deciding that this wasn't the place for us, paid $20 for our drinks and left. If we are going to pay that much for food, I expect a little better customer service. Asking for my nacho toppings to the side of my plate isn't a huge request.
