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.

The best service staff, bartenders and managers make it my favorite go to for great food and drinks. We eat here 4 or more times a week. Beer is the coldest in town and the food is the best of all of the locations!

K 38 is one of our very favorite places to eat in Wilmington! Our family literally visits here at least once a week! I’m delighted as a vegan to be able to enjoy two items from their menu. I could drink their salsa. (Lol) Their chips are not too salty. But the best part was our server, Xander. He was not only friendly and personable, but he was very knowledgeable about the menu. He constantly checked on us and made sure I had a good supply of salsa since he realized I loved it so much! He thought of things before we had to ask! We felt very blessed to have been served by this young man! He really took good care of us!

I've got to say k thirty eight has been around for many, many years.The one on Oleander dr is absolutely awesome! Ever since this one opened up on independence. It has been the worst experience. We ate over there the other night. Our waitress Maddie or Madeline, not quite sure what her name is, but she was rude. Unconsistent messed up our orders twice. We got our orders. Our food was soggy, had to ask for refills. This place is absolutely horrible. I do not recommend going here. Whatsoever, I don't even understand how they're still in business. I don't feel like they will be open much longer. The hostess was rude. The whole experience was absolutely horrible. We will never go back to this location.They need to shut this place down! As we were leaving, other people were complaining as well.About the service and the food they have a 94 rating.Did not notice it in the beginning. But I can definitely understand why they have such a low score.Now 💯💯💯
