    It has been a while since I last ate at K38, so I had to go to my favorite. The Baja fish tacos were amazing. Fresh, tasty fried fish with corn tortillas is always the best. Ellie provided great, super friendly service and made my family so happy by sending me home with chips and salsa. Thx Ellie!!!

    A local recommended this place to us. Very strange layout. Service was quick and food came out quickly. All hot and ready. We did have chips and queso. Very good. We go to Wilmington several times a year. Might have to revisit.

    After my wife left me and took the kids, I found it hard to find pleasure in the simple things. K38 was the one place I can where I feel at peace. The food is always fresh and hot. The margaritas drown my sorrows, and the friendly wait staff make me feel like family. I hope my daughter grows up to be like my server Caroline tonight. Kind, caring, polite and professional. Thank you for another great evening K38. And thank you Caroline. Thank you.

    I dined at K38 on a busy Friday night. I came with my friend Leah for a quick bite to eat! Our server was Haley, and she was fantastic! She was extremely knowledgeable of the menu and gave us some great recommendations. I ordered the Birria tacos with the street corn on the side, they were so good I cannot recommend them enough. Leah got the acp and we both thought the portion size was perfect, I hate when portion sizes are too large or too small, but this portion was perfect. Haley recommended the Iguana Gold hot sauce and it was the perfect level of spice. Haley is by far the best server I have ever had! She is so pretty and nice. The manager even payed for our queso, how sweet! Food was great, service was great, atmosphere was also great!
