Ortega’z Southwestern Grill and Wine Bar – Manteo NC

When you first walk in to the the restaurant you cannot tell that the building was an old gas station.  The decor is very intimate and warm.  The food is well prepared and delicious!!!   I would assume that no one has every complained about the prices.   The menu is very affordable and offers a great variety to choose from.

House made flour tortilla chips arrive in a variety of flavors and the salsa is wonderful!   I visited one evening for lunch and ordered the Chicken Quesadillas.  Flour tortilla, roasted chicken, sauteed onions and peppers, mixed cheeses, lightly grilled and finished with salsa and sour cream.  Served in a large portion and very good!

Ortega’z Grill brings some much-needed cultural spice to Downtown Manteo. With a definite southwestern flair, and a relaxed, casual atmosphere, you can enjoy lunch or dinner on the covered outdoor patio or in either of the two dining rooms. If you’re looking for a quick meal or a cold drink, head over to the ‘Wine Bar’ in the center of the restaurant. It’s where people gather – locals and vacationers alike. Inside or out, the restaurant has a comfortable feel and a reputation for delivering exceptional food. – www.ortegaz.com
