DEL PEZ MEXICAN GASTROPUB - NEWARK

Johnny was a great server! We had a great time and the food was awesome. We ordered the Crab Quesadilla app and the sauce was amazing. My boyfriend ordered the Hells Burger and liked it, I ordered the Short Rib Chimichanga and loved it. La Casa marg was also fantastic. Would def go back again for sure.

Had the pleasure to try brunch during the soft opening before this place gets packed! Food was great! We had the chicken egg roll tacos, and pick 3 eggs benedict. Chicken egg roll tacos were loaded and the eggs benedict were cooked to perfection!

For being a soft opening I figured there would be a slight learning curve so our expectations were not high at all... That being said our server was excellent! However, I did notice that every other table got the traditional chips and salsa that you normally received and my table did not. Wasn't a big deal by the time I even realized it we were about to get our food but it would've been nice. Also with the soft opening I expected managers and stuff to be walking around getting feedback and I did see that going on, but again no one came to our table for that even though they weren't too busy since it was limited tables for soft opening.

Overall, I will definitely go back! Food was excellent just like the other locations and the service I know will be better when they get settled in this new location!

Excellent Place. Signature Tacos are awesome ?. Warm welcome by the staff. Good choice of regular and seasonal drafts.

We had my son and daughter-in-law’s rehearsal dinner there for 35 people. The food was wonderful and the staff was great! At the end I was so full I couldn’t eat the churro waffles. I asked for a container to take some home, I was told they were unable to provide one as Delaware state law prohibits taking home anything that sits out for four hours or more. It haven’t even been 2hrs let alone 4. Then I tried to wrap up a few and was told by the manager that I couldn’t do that. Now I payed a pretty penny and I couldn’t take home 8 triangle pieces of waffles. So do not And I really mean do not hold any thing there unless you don’t care about wanting to take anything home. If anyone knows if there truly is a Delaware state law.

Made a reservation for 2 at 630 at hightop (only available). We arrived early and hostess said a table would come up if we could wait. So we bellied up to bar and had some libations and an order of wings (crispy w/sauce on side). They were great. After a short wait we were seated at a table in back room. We had chicken shrimp with rice and their signature prime rib taco. Everything was outstanding from start to finish. Our server kept us well hydrated along the way. Can't wait to return when in the area again. Enjoy!

We stopped in for brunch. Service was excellent. Lively space but the music was a little loud. Bathrooms were ok. Food was good, we had the nachos which are listed as a starter but turned into our whole meal because they were so large.

Just had a wonderful meal and terrific service at Del Pez. A friend brought me there to celebrate my birthday. The margaritas and food were delicious and our server couldn't do enough to make us feel welcomed and cared for. Can't wait for warmer weather when we can return and eat outside. Highly recommend.

Haven't been here in years and what a mistake! Great food and service and especially Tom who went over and above to give excellent service. I will definitely be back with the hubby and friends!

Where could we eat the night before Thanksgiving? Right next door (almost) to where we were staying. We were hoping to have a more varied menu, but it was limited . . . which is EXACTLY what a gastropub menu is supposed to be. I had a salad that was excellent. My wife had the fish tacos. She had a Margarita that she loved. I had a beer that was just fine. The service was excellent. The atmosphere is true gastropubesque. Would I return? In a heartbeat. A good venue. Good food. Excellent service. Reasonable prices. What more could you ask for?

I just read through the old reviews for this restaurant and I am really surprised. Is it because they went here so long ago in the Covid era ? Maybe. We had a fantastic experience here. Our waitress was fantastic, the atmosphere was great and everyone’s food was delicious. We got the normal guac and it was really good. It doesn’t say this on the menu but it also comes with a bowl of salsa. The chips were really good and we got a good portion of guac. It was called the Del Pez guac. Here is every other item we got and I would recommend all. Carnitas street tacos, primo rib taco, Texas bbq taco and the baha mahi taco. We also got the chicken Y shrimp and wow, not basic by any means. It is super seasoned and comes with a lot of toppings. I think the Chicken Y shrimp and Primo Rib taco stood out the most. I would highly recommend going here.

Street tacos come by 3. Chicken $14, carnitas $14, grilled shrimp $14. Can I have one of each? Impossible, cannot change the menu?Makes you wonder if they come in a box!

We were at the Wilmington Riverfront on July 4th and decided to try Del Pez. It's been there for a while, taking the place of Kooma oh so long ago. The space in the interior looks similar, but DP has outside seating as well. Kids meals were nice. Lots of food for the kids, so they were happy. My wife always gets the fish tacos. Same here. I tried a taco sampler. The shrimp one was probably the best, but it might have been because I tackled it first. By the time I got to the last two tacos, the bottom of the soft corn tortilla shell was falling apart. Whatever they can do to keep the shells from doing that will improve the diner's experience.

I've been coming to this place for a while now. I love the food and the drinks are always on point. I never had an issue until tonight. I had a (very long) hair in my drink. Before I could even say something it was replaced with a new drink (not what I originally and was added to my bill. Not only was there a hair in my drink but I still had to pay for it! The manager was extremely rude about the situation and never let me explain what truly happened. The server was also very inattentive and only came over to check on us about once or twice. I most likely will never be going here again. If you are looking for a place with "alright service" this is the place for you.

two of the four meals were average one was good and mine was pretty bad. The four taco sampler I got one was good, the shrimp. The pork the beef and the duck were all overcooked and chewy. The toppings were awful. However, great staff and bar area. easy convenient parking.
