What a great place to eat! We were here fairly late after a sunset ferry ride in Beaufort, NC. The staff was friendly and we did not feel rushed. The food was wonderful and so was the service. The owner was there and spoke with me about a location in Jacksonville that is closer to our kids home. Can't wait to check it out next time we visit! The restaurant was very clean as well.

For starters, We love, love Mexican food, have tried many. Their salsa and chips are above the rest. So thick, so much flavor. I like the fact that they bring each person at table their on bowl of salsa delishious meals and prices. Employees are so nice and very attentive

Food was absolutely delicious! The warm chips and flavorful salsa were a fantastic start. We ordered the steak fajitas and the dish was arrange very nicely. The steak was flavored well without over doing it and the rice was very fluffy and delicious. Our server was Franklin and he made our dinner a wonderful dining experience. Thank you Franklin and all the staff in the kitchen for a great meal and a wonderful time.

We tried Plaza Mexico MHC tonight, and we were impressed. It's been a while since we'd eaten there, and they've updated their menu. Everything we (party of four) tried was delicious: Fajita Vallarta (steak, chicken, shrimp, & chorizo), Chicken Fajitas, Plantano Frito Relleno (plantain filled with steak & cheese) & Tiras De Pollo (chicken with cliantro, cheese sauce & chipotle cream). We also sampled the bean dip, choriqueso, & horchata - they were all tasty. The service was prompt and enthusiastic, and the music was very festive. We recommend you give them a try - you'll enjoy!

A person waiting for the dressing rooms with us across the road at a clothing store heard us trying to figure out where to go and said this was their Mexican restaurant. We went and will be going back. My new favorite restaurant in Morehead. The Mexican Hibachi dish was rocking.

I don't know why we've never stopped here before, but I'm so glad we decided to try it. It was pretty busy, but we were seated immediately, and after we ordered, our food was on the table so fast I thought they were giving us somebody else's order. The decor is typical Mexican restaurant with the same carved chairs as many other places, but the food is definitely a step above. The salsa that they brought for our chips is deliciius and probably the thickest I've ever had. We started with the chicken rolls served over a salad. For the main course, I had Chili Rellenos, and my wife had a chicken quesadilla. I've had better Rellenos, but these were large and tasty. My wife loved her meal. Of note is the fact that you can substitute black beans for refried beans. The draft beer is served in a frosted mug, and we are going to return in the near future.
