Zagat Ocracoke

I give Eduardo's food cart a ten out of ten! Ocracoke has a year round population of Norteamericanos from Mexico and of Mexican heritage, and finally we have a place to reliably buy authentic, fresh, flavorful, satisfying, affordable meals from this heritage cuisine! Eduardo is a chef at the Back Porch Restaurant during the season. Unlike many of us, he isn't idling away the winter months, but is serving up chilaquiles, burritos and other traditonal fare from the kitchen truck parked at The Variety Store. Think seasoning, not seasonal.

You can call ahead or stop in and order, run to the Post Office, and pick it up on your way home. Eduardo makes plates to order, so no tamales. Instead I will savor his deliciosa tortas, and look forward to the renegade merchants selling shredded meat wrapped in steamed masa out of the backs of cars during the summer.

Here's to having it all: hushpuppies, fish cakes, clam fritters, and diversity. Count me as one happy gringa.

Do you think there's any possibility I make it sound even more magical than it actually is? I haven't left the house yet today. Brrrrr.....

About Me

My Photo
Name: Blue Heron Vacations
Location: Ocracoke, NC, United States

I grew up on Ocracoke (Class of 1990!) and graduated from Davidson College. Jennifer, who many of you know as the owner of Blue Heron Realty, has been a great and true friend for as long as I can remember. I work as a waitress at the Cafe Atlantic, serve on the board of our community radio station (check out WOVV.org) and write an occasional column for the Island Breeze. Every time I travel I fall in love with a new place, but nothing yet trumps living near my (at times eccentric) family, swimming in the Atlantic on our world class beach, and being part of the strong, warm and inspiring community which is Ocracoke.
