I am a self confessed Mexican food addict who is able to sniff out Mexican restaurants in the most obscure corners of the world. I found my fix at Surly Cantina! On a recent vacation, I ventured over to Surly Cantina after tiring of the “fine dining” options in Cruz Bay. It is a small, outdoor “stall” with a few... more

If you are looking for something yummy and affordable, try the Surly Cantina in St. John. The folks are awesome there and the food is something to get excited about! The Chicken Enchiladas are delicious!!!!! While you're there....ask for a beer shot. Keeps you cool and makes the folks behind the counter happy ;) more

Good Tex-Mex that fits in the Cheap Eats category. Sitting on the street side of Wharfside Village, this small place with four umbrella tables set outside offers $2 ground beef tacos, $8 cheese enchiladas and all the combinations of ground beef, chicken, steak, hard tacos, soft tacos, burritos and enchiladas. They are closed from 3PM-7PM for siesta, but are open... more
