When you’re in the mood for Baja-style fish tacos, busty burritos and smothered enchiladas, head to Mexican-style Hatteras restaurants. Family-friendly spots with multi-page menus satisfy a range of palates with offers for taco salads, chicken quesadillas and shrimp fajitas. But keep an eye out, too, for the tiny hole-in-the-wall joints that draw crowds with their authentic and delicious fare. If not everyone in your group is in the mood for Mexican, not to fret – the Hatteras dining scene includes restaurants where Mexican specialties appear alongside pasta dishes and gourmet seafood preparations.
