K38 Baja Grill — Restaurant in Wilmington

Generally would never write a review like this but my experience here last Friday (February 21) was absolutely horrendous. I was starving and decided to go to k38. I sat at the bar and was already somewhat uncomfy going out to dinner by myself on a Friday. The bartender (long brown curly hair) was so incredibly rude to me the moment I sat down. She wouldn't even acknowledge me at first to the point I had to grab her attention and she snapped at me and said "I'll be with you as soon as I'm able." Mind you all I was trying to ask was if I could get a drink & dinner menu. I ordered a margarita and asked her if I could order food as well. Her response was "what do you want?" I ordered food then asked her if I could get chips and salsa (it's my fav!!) and she said "I'll bring it to you when I'm able." I'm sorry, what!?? I sat there, minding my business, then another employee walked up and handed me my food in a to-go bag? I had a full margarita I still had to finish and never once told her the food was to go. She very rudely said something under her breath to the girl who brought my food out to me. I ate my food as fast as I could, didn't bother finishing my drink, got the check and left. As someone who is from here, K38 has always been one of my favorite restaurants. I left there never wanting to go back. She made me feel so unwelcome and so uncomfortable. Regardless if she was having a bad night, when you're working for tips it's probably in your best interest to be nice to the people who are tipping you. I mentioned this story to friends after leaving, two of which said "I know exactly who you're talking about" which leads me to believe this is a common occurrence for her. Get another job where you don't have to interact with the public if you're that miserable. UPDATE - bartenders name is Ayla & she has major mean...

First time ever visiting a K38. I just figured K38 would be your "run-of-the-mill" Mexican restaurant with burritos smothered in brown sauce with a big blotch of cheese on top. Or, perhaps, a salad made from bagged, shredded lettuce with a tomato wedge on the side. Much to my surprise, K38 is NOT your typical Mexican fare. Our meals were outstanding! My wife had the chicken fajitas with a side of black beans and I had the Island Shrimp Wrap with a side of mixed vegetables: zucchini, onions, peppers. The food came out piping hot! So we were off to a good start. Even my side of vegetables came out hot. In my past experiences ordering vegetables on the side, I'd be ok if they came out lukewarm since they're definitely not worth sending back to the kitchen to reheat. Those vegetables by the way, very tasty and FRESH. In fact, ALL the food seemed fresh and made from quality ingredients. My wrap had firm large fresh shrimp, avocado, and fresh vegetables. Our waiter was attentive without being annoying and cleared empty plates from the table promptly. So glad we tried out K38. K38 will now be one of our favorite places to eat considering the large selection of items on the menu....

I online ordered $80 worth of take out last night for my family. There was a pick up time on the receipt, but I called after a bit to see if they were running on time. The lady on the phone seemed annoyed and refered me to look at the time on the receipt. I explained I was just checking to see if it was accurate. She puts me on hold, goes to check, and as it turns out, it was already ready (20 minutes earlier than the receipts pickup time). When I got there, I waited by the hostess station for a few minutes. No one was there. A few servers walked by and looked at me, but didn't say anything to me. After a bit, a lady with blond hair comes up with a sour face. I told her I was there for the order, and she mumbled something and pointed to a shelf of togo orders next to us. I walk over and look at them, and I ask, do I just take it? She nodded yes. Once I got the food home, it was not good. The blackened mahi was very overcooked and dry. The corn tortilla disintegrated when we picked our tacos up. The corn was soggy. I did like the chips and salsa, though. Overall, I do not recommend ordering takeout from...
