RestaurantBar & GrillMexican Restaurant
Over 20 years ago, our founder Josh Vach visited the coast of California. He went with a desire to find the perfect wave and enjoy the amazing authentic Mexican food that California has to offer. When he returned, Josh set out on a new adventure to bring those same authentic Baja flavors to his coastal home in North Carolina. Fueled by his life changing trip, K38 Baja Grill, which was named after his favorite surfing spot at the Km marker 38 in Baja, was born.
Today, we continue to nurture and respect the love and passion that Josh put into his restaurant through our food and atmosphere in the hopes that you too can experience what our founder found so special about Baja, California.

Cian was a 10/10 waiter! I found myself clocking how attentive he was throughout the night

Great! Your food is the best! Even though my 96yo mother said her food was cold, the rest of us had warm food (not hot) and didn't mind a bit! Your queso is something we crave often. We each have our favorite dishes, but love your guacamole equally well! One improvement I suggest is to find a way to keep the food warmer for to-go orders. That's the only thing I'd like to change!

I went in yesterday and had lunch at the bar. I believe the bartender told me his name was Declan, but he was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. He checked in at all the right times and made me feel genuinely welcomed. I come from a little further away but the good conversations, drinks, and food were definitely worth the drive! Great service can really make a place stand out, and this was a perfect example. I will definitely be back! Thank you!
