About

El Mariachi Ocracoke serves Mexican fare on Lawton Lane, close to the center of the village that holds nearly all of the island's restaurants and shops. Since Ocracoke has no bridge or road connection — you get here by ferry from Hatteras, Cedar Island, or Swan Quarter, or by small plane to the island airstrip — a reliable, casual place to eat once you've made the crossing is worth knowing about. This one keeps things simple: budget-friendly pricing and long hours most of the week, open from 8am to 7pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, with shorter 8am-to-3pm hours on Wednesday and Sunday.

Address: 10 Lawton Ln, Ocracoke, NC 27960

Had a steak burrito. A lot of food crammed into a wrap. It was absolutely delicious. Also serve breakfast burritos too as well as fresh fish of the day burritos.

Great service, a lot of options, the chicken tostadas were soooo good, and the green salsa is delicious. I’d say they just need some bottled hot sauce to use and the option to order single tacos. But the food is so good!

I've been coming here for over 15 years and there has always been great, no better yet, amazing mexican food on the island. Maybe its my fault for having high expectations but this is the blandest mexican I have had in my whole life. I got the ACP and a burrito with salsa and chips. The rice has no flavor and combined with the chicken and cheese, dont provide any additional flavor. And the salsa tastes like ketchup 😭😭 RIP to my only options besides pizza on the island

Hands down the absolute best fish tacos we’ve had in years! The fish was deliciously seasoned and perfectly grilled. Mango pico was excellently balanced and just a tad spicy, cabbage added a little crunch and the flour tortilla was the perfect texture. Before we even left our table we made plans to come back tomorrow for breakfast.
