FEATURED RESTAURANT OF THE WEEK 🌮
K-38 Baja Grill - Wilmington’s Go-to for Mexican Bites

“It all started at a famous surf break off the free road just north of Ensenada, Mexico.” After a group of friends tried the best fish tacos they had ever had, they knew they had to bring those flavors (we’re talking baja-fresh) home. They’ve served the Wilmington area (now with four locations) since 1998 with K-38 Baja Grill!

If you need a really good taco, step into a K-38. You’ll be greeted with kind staff, a compact, surf shop vibe, with colorful drinks, and almost all the tables full (a testament to how good the food is). Additionally, if you’re a fan of surfing (or just beachy vibes), you’ll love the choice of TV channels! K-38 serves menu items such as Tostados, Chicken Taquitos, Baja Chopped Salad, Fish Bowl, Island Tuna Tacos, and all sorts of Fajitas and Burritos. If you haven’t already, make K-38 your new go-to!

Wilmy Weekly Tip: If you need a pick-me-up after a long day of work or a treat on the weekend, grab an order of their homemade (the best in Wilmington) chips and salsa and take it Togo (get the large, trust us).
