OBX Tortilleria y Panaderia

Primarily a takeout establishment, with a couple of tables outside. It was getting busy when I arrived. Ordered a burrito with chicken and an order of rice.It took forever to receive, with many coming after me with larger orders leaving before me. After a day of playing tourist, I wasn't in the mood, but didn't explode! They did apologize upon receipt of my order.Good thing! The burrito was excellent! Unlike most you buy in Virginia, this one didn't have a cheese sauce on top, so it had to live or die by what's inside! It excelled! Great spices, but not too much!Haven't had the rice, as the burrito filled me up, so no comment.Wanna try another place while I'm visiting, but would absolutely come back here for the final product received!

Great spot to grab authentic Mexican -- we stopped in after a long drive to the Outer Banks. They have a solid sized menu to choose from as well as pastries. Our group got a burrito, quesadilla, and tacos (you pick the meat and then add the fixins yourself) and we were all happy with our meals. I'd give it 4 stars instead of 5 just because I've had slightly better tacos. But overall a great place!It's counter service with a couple tables inside as well as outside. Our food was ready within 10 min which was awesome after being on the road all day. Glad we stopped in!

Fish Tacos were overloaded with shredded lettuce and cheese. Despite this being a traditional seeming place, these are not prepared in the traditional Mexican fashion. The fish was fine, but did not shine in the tacos. There really wasn't enough of it. I think OBX is in general not a great spot for dining, and this may be amongst the best you'll get.

Why this place hasn't been visited & reviewed is beyond me! OMG! Authentic Mexican food in a small carry out store. There's 2 tables to eatat inside & 1 outside. We noticed that it was frequented by Hispanics (always a good sign) as we waited for our food. Homemade food made to order with a fixins bar for condiments. This is a must place to visit! You won't be disappointed!

Totally bummed with the tacos I got today for take out. They came with meat and nothing else. The wetness from the meat dissolved the tortilla it came on. The beef had gobs of fat and no flavor. I asked for a side of rice and beans and they came in huge Tupperware containers-enough for 8 people. It was a bizarre experience. No salsa no cheese no lettuce, like some of their pictures show and their menu states..

A taste of Mexico - Authentic! We used to live in Arizona and drove down to Puerto Penasco, Mexico 4 - 6 times a year. The food at this restaurant is the way customers are treated refliect the very best restuarants in Mexico.The restaurant is a hole in the wall. The inside is not much to look at, but they do have a nice outside seating area. But ... the FOOD is outstanding! My Dad had the chicken quesadilla. He loved it. My wife had the chicken burritto - She is a big fan of chicken burritos - It was among the best she's had. I had two taco special (fish and shrimp). Very very good.They have a beverage case which reminds me of Mexico. Many of the same drinks.Another customer came in and had a HUGE bowl of soup. He was clearly enjoying it. We came late and there were no baked goods out. My wife told me that we have to come back to sample what the Panaderia has :).Update: We came back for baked goods. We purchased six different items and all were outstanding!

A real find in the OBX. Locals seem to know about this, but not the tourists. Place is authentic and under priced. It is mainly a take out place with a few tables, but is well worth it if you are not looking to sit down inside. Tacos are really good and you can customize them from the helpings bar. Bakery items are also tasty and at a great price. We now go there every time we are in the OBX.

This is my husbands favorite stop in OBX, he is an extremely picky eater so being able to find something that we all like is sometimes difficult when visiting. This now our mandatory first stop - we cannot go to our rental until we have stopped to pick up tortillas, tacos and tamales to last him for a couple of days! I'm so thankful that we have found this little gem and it makes meal planning so much less stressful for everyone!

Great service. Vegetarian torta and burrito were great! Only 3 tables outside but still worth it. We ate in the car.

Excellent tacos, as good as any I've had in Mexico or the US. The lamb barbacoa was a standout, but everything else I tried was great too. Also noteworthy are the large and flavorful selection of salsas and other taco fixings that are all made in- house, I think. We went so happy with our lunch that we went back for dinner, and will be back on our next visit to OBX.
