I had the best brunch at Toasted with amazing mimosas and Nick the owner stopped by to wish my friend River a happy 21st birthday! Most of his sauces are gluten free too! Food was fresh and amazing! The apple slaw paired with the pork belly was truly mouth watering as was the fresh corned beef.

🌶️ A Little Taste of Mexico at Holden Beach: Mini Jalapeño

If you’re looking for something a little different from the typical seafood and beach fare around Holden Beach, put Mini Jalapeño Mexican Restaurant on your list!

Located just off the Holden Beach Bridge at 3408 Holden Beach Road SW, Mini Jalapeño serves traditional Mexican dishes made with fresh ingredients in a casual, friendly atmosphere. Their menu offers everything from tacos, fajitas and enchiladas to seafood dishes and quesabirria tacos.

What makes it a fun local stop is that it feels like a true part of the Holden Beach experience—casual, colorful and perfect for a family dinner after a day in the sun. And despite the name, there's nothing “mini” about the menu or the portions! 🌮🍹

So next time you're heading across the bridge, skip cooking dinner and give Mini Jalapeño a try. Your taste buds might thank you!
