I participate in the Restaurant.com #ReviewCrew and receive perks which allow me to dine with a discount at the restaurant of my choice.

As much as I love Mexican food, I hardly ever go to Mexican restaurants. They just don’t auto-pop in my mind when I’m thinking of places to eat, but I hit upon a superstar when I was out on a date the other night — Arturo’s Mexican Restaurant in New Bern, North Carolina.

Arturo's Mexican Restaurant New Bern

The decor was warm and inviting and I liked it instantly upon walking inside.

But they hooked my heart the moment they plunked down a complimentary basket of tortilla chips and salsa.

Arturo's chips and salsa

I liked those chips so much that I ordered some queso too. (Rumor has it there was also a second basket of chips involved.)

Arturo's chips and queso

One thing I love about Mexican restaurants is that it’s super easy to find vegetarian options, and even though I’m not a vegetarian, I eat like one a heck of a lot. So I ordered a cheese quesadilla with a side of Mexican rice.

Arturo's Cheese Quesadilla - Mexican rice

Across the table from me was one man and two plates of Mexican goodness. He ordered burritos deluxe, re-fried beans and rice.

I don’t normally rave about the food in Mexican restaurants because it’s usually good, but not worth a flip. In this case everything was outstanding. The service was also friendly, responsive and efficient. I’ll definitely hit up Arturo’s again and again.

Psssst, I’ve been search-stalking the independent restaurants on Restaurant.com lately because I’ve been having such good luck with the places I find there.

New Bern is a charming waterside community and I wanted to take a little ride over there for dinner and a stroll for date night, and that’s why I picked Arturo’s Mexican Restaurant. Of course, I used a restaurant.com gift certificate to save on the check total too.

Do you have a favorite Mexican restaurant? What’s your favorite Mexican food?

    Your food looks really good but you are only missing one thing: guacamole! Yum! I HAVE to have it when I eat at a Mexican restaurant. 🙂

    I think Mexican might be my favorite food. I am jealous of your post. 😛

    I grew up in San Diego surrounded by Mexican friends and authentic Mexican dining. Since moving from California I’ve found it very difficult to find Mexican restaurants that I love. Arturos looks awesome!

    You know, I completely understand where you’re coming from on Mexican restaurants; I LOVE Mexican food, but I always forget it’s an option until AFTER the fact! I don’t go nearly enough as I would like.

    It definitely does look like you’ve found yourself a winner! That food you got looks quite delicious 😀

    I haven’t been exposed enough to Mexican food to know how / if I like it.

    However we went to this little Mexican restaurant here a year or so ago and it was fantastic! I d’love to go again.

    Oh your quesadilla and rice looks delicious! I like Mexican if it’s not too spicy, we tend to stick to chain restaurants for Mexican because there’s usually more main stream options and of course my husband and daughter are not fans of Mexican food at all, except for the chips and salsa LOL!

    I don’t do Mexican for the most part because I am deathly allergic to peppers. (Cut a jalapeno near me and I can’t breathe. Not fun.) I can say that New Bern is a lovely place to visit. We traveled through when we were in the trailer….

    You know, I had the most AMAZING Mexican food when I was in San Diego. It was so good, that I’ve been afraid to try any place else since then because I don’t want to be disappointed.
