Los Antojitos OBX Nags Head — Restaurant in Nags Head

My good friend brought me here for my birthday after searching for an open Mexican restaurant on a Tuesday afternoon since we arrived to 4 different ones that were closed.

I chose Los Antojitos after betting on the refreshing authentic feel in their photos and the expanded dinner menu options. My eyes were set on the shrimp tacos and the Molcajete with the Tamarindo Agua Fresca. The waitress also talked me into the freshly made guacamole, which was just chunky enough and as fresh as it could be.

I couldn’t have felt better about my choice of establishments after receiving such wonderful service at this family-run establishment. I felt very well taken care of. They were so kind and they even came to sing while I blew out the candles on my delicious flan.

Came and ate here and our server Beverly was very rude and had no good customer service. Everytime we asked for another drink or more chips we were met with rudeness. We ordered water and it had an awful taste and instead of apologizing and getting us something else she tried to argue that it tasted fine. I understand we are at the Beach and sometimes the water can taste fishy, regardless we ended up ordering lemonade and sprite and still had an awful taste to it. I asked her to take it off the bill and again instead of just taking it off she was rude and just stared at us. I also overheard her complaining about us to another server.
