50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Newport

“Everything is made from scratch. Amazing tortillas, refried beans and chicken burritos.“

“This is the best lunch spot on main street. Great value for money, and the staff are really nice“

“I love the tacos in three amigos Mexican grill, the bar and the color in all restaurant, great restaurant“

“Food Is Good & Really Respectful & Nice Service“

“Just stopped and got the buffalo shrimp taco and it was EPIC!!! Dave and staff are really great and the atmosphere is spot on. If your near booths corner check them out, also does catering as well.“

“This is our go-to place for Mexican takeout in Kennett Square. We regularly get the special meat burrito with lomo (seasoned shredded pork), burrito with asada, and chicken quesadilla. The huaraches and enchiladas are also really good. All meals come with a ton of food. They give you little hot sauce containers and limes to go with your meal. There’s a small eating area where you often find people dining, but we typically to takeout because we order during the week and the food travels well. They’re always really quick when we call; about 15 minutes and the food is ready.

The owner is almost always the one who answers the phone and greets you when you come in. You can tell that he cares about his restaurant and making his customers happy, and you can feel good that you’re supporting a small local business, not a big chain. (If you happen to be helped by someone other than the owner, like a moody teen, don’t let it put you off).

The prices are reasonable, especially considering how much food you get.

One note: PAY CASH or you’ll be charged a credit card fee that they don’t even tell you about. This is the one complaint I have about this place. I know that many businesses are now doing this, but there are no signs in the restaurant warning of this fee and if you tell them you’re paying by card, they type a higher amount into the credit card machine without telling you.

The small parking lot could definitely be repaved and the building looks a little iffy in its lighting and placement among car repair shops and an apartment construction site, but it all adds to the feeling that you’ve found a hidden gem.

Parking: Not too many spots, but I’ve never found it totally full. Pavement is bumpy with lots of holes.“

“Bien bien bueno!! Las quesabirrias, los chiles rellenos! Y mi hijo comió los tacos de chorizo y carnitas. Bien bien bueno! Palomas y skinny margaritas! Enjoy! Por que nosotros si lo disfrutamos! Siéntanse afuera! Muy lindo patio! Nos tocó la Claudia y fue muy buena mesera! Nice Dinner!“

“Great food!! staff is very nice“

“Celebrating a Fathers Day reunion, we 5 chose here because we share a love for good, creative Mexican fare... esp. table-made guacamole. Our guac and meals were delicious, as usual here. Our server, Sadie, was cheery and helpful in taking and serving our orders... but... Disappointingly, our table became ignored after we ordered sopapilla dessert. In fact, our dessert was served while our table was still cluttered with our meal dishes and silver, and without fresh dessert plates, spoons, etc. NOT GOOD! Our son then sought a waiter and commandeered plates and tools and we shared the dessert over a debris-strewn table ;-( I cornered the on-duty assistant manager (otherwise unseen for the evening) and shared my frustration with the evident inattention to service detail... he said, "I'll pass that on..." Try harder, folks!“

“Good drinks and food! Fast service.“

“Lo mejor de lo mejor 😋, un lugar para volver. 100% garantizado“

“Excellent food, superb margaritas and attentive service“

“We absolutely love Tex Mex. We eat dinner there once or twice a week. The house margaritas are great. $10 and large. The berria is great. Nachos, asado chicken. The bowls are excellent. Everyone is so nice. I can't say enough about this place.“

“If you like Chipotle but aren’t a fan of their more recent portion sizes or poor customer service you need to try this place out. They don’t skimp, everything seemed completely fresh, and the service was top notch. They have a ton of options in terms of meats, fillers and toppings, and sauces too.“

“Id have taken a picture. But being here for the 2nd time I just could NOT wait to dig in. before I knew it (10-20 seconds ish) later it was all gone. I cant believe how fresh and absolutely FANTASTIC this food is. Nothing so far in Delaware compares in price to plate ratio to food and drink quality. I almost dont want to post this because I dont want it to change. Just ridiculously delicious“

“We have ordered many times, but never eaten in. The food is amazing! We plan to eat in soon!“

“Absolutely have the best Mexican food I have ever had highly recommended“

“Las porciones de comida son generosas, la comida es muy buena ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Fish Tacos are fab!“

“Es súper bonito y uno se siente cómoda y cómodo y entregan rápida la comida y bien organizada 😋☺️☺️“

“Moved back to Wilmington to find this GEM of a restaurant in my neighborhood. The best street tacos and Mexican food in general. My daughter - the fussiest eater - loves the quesadillas and eats everything on her plate. The Mango Margaritas- wowza!!!! The people are so nice - great service. I love the food and as they always say about ethnic restaurants - eat at a restaurant the natives eat because you know it’s genuine food. And it is. Simply the best!“

“I think the food is good. I like it. I wish they would pay attention to the cleanliness in the eating area. Booths are usually not wiped down very well at all. Makes you wonder about the kitchen area.“

“Ate here several times and have enjoyed the food. Though since opening....service at tables seems a bit slow here and there. Can't review alcoholic drinks because I don't drink.Recently I ordered pick up. Upon the return time they gave me... It took about a 20 minute wait for someone to come to the front to assist me with my pick up . They gave me a receipt but not my debit card back. Partly my fault to realize this.....but their fault too...this is the 2nd time that happened to me at pick up.. I think maybe a bell would work at the front desk to get someone's attention.i even stood at the bar for 5 minutes but no one came out.for awhile.. all in all I will probably return here be a use thw food I've had has been delicious each time....I recommend the shrimp quesidilas and I love their rice. However I think that their customer service really needs attention. They gave me a menu. I ordered pick up and they said 15 to 20 minutes....once arriving to pick up I waited about 15 to 20 minutes for someone e to come to the front to get the food.“

“The best street tacos hands down !!!“

“love the hard shell tacos“

“amazing food and staff, always fast“

“The tortas are both massive and delicious. Everything is seasoned to perfection. We’ve had burritos and tacos and enchiladas and they’ve all been flawless. The chips and salsa also come with a small cup of this delicious crab stick salad. Prices are fair and service is great. Best taqueria in North Wilmington/ Claymont.“

“found this place about ten years ago from another friend. Loved it since then. Come here often. loved their fish taco and other tacos.

Mostly a take out place so the dinning area is very basic.

If you dine in, They don’t provide drinking water. You have to buy bottles water or other soft drinks“

“The absolute best Mexican food I have EVER TASTED!! Beautiful new restaurant on Silverside, friendly staff, GREAT atmosphere and I cannot wait to go back! YUM“

“love this tiny little gem, I come here mainly for the shrimp tacos and fajitas! their drinks are phenomenal, coconut mojito is a must try. pina coladas are excellente along with their margaritas as well, and very welcoming friendly staff!“

“We love Your Tacos! Authentic Hand made!“

“I’ve been going here for about two years now and this is my of my favorite restaurants in the area. The Baja Shrimp tacos have this amazing sauce that makes the meal so so good. And the burros have such a good sauce too. I also love their fries, they’re so unique with them being so thin. The service here is also great. You get sat quickly, your server comes over fast, and your food comes out fast. The other night I had this server Dana who was so sweet and we had a nice conversation. It was great because I was dining alone so I was happy to have someone to talk to. And she recommended the pastelitos and they were delicious. Highly recommend!!!“

“Not local, coming from NYC. Wanted to stop for some Mexican food. Food was pretty decent. Big plus it’s halal. Didn’t realize there’s no seating options and it’s inside a smoke shop. So please be aware. But good food, decent price and plus supporting small business.“

“Been going here for well over 5 years. Since about 2019. The service is always A1, the food is the bomb diggity and the prices are always reasonable. Whether you get take or dine in (do dine in the atmosphere and everything is worth it) you will have a great experience overall. The tacos are sooooo good they never missed, ever! Don’t even get me started on the drinks, again dine in is recommended. I have done both and 200%, I recommend this place 200% every time. Best tacos in Wilmington.“

“Muy buen lugar, la comida riquísima, el servicio muy bueno muy amables lo recomiendo.“

“Hole in the wall with a limited menu, however the tacos and tortas are great. Staff are friendly and service is quick. Mi gusta!“

“For my first time at this place the food was great the service was great.“

“A truly intoxicating experience. Never have I felt more love and appreciation from such a viable and respectful establishment. From the moment I witnessed those women curate those burritos, I knew that my mere existence would forever be changed. For once in my life I was a fresh and toasty tortilla that subsequently would be filled with compassion in the form of a cheesy bean & chicken medley. I won’t stop until this place is granted a Michelin Star ⭐️ take a 3rd mortgage out on your home and use the proceeds to this place. Trust my words.“

“Last night was my first time trying El Maya everything was absolutely amazing… The Homemade Guacamole was delicious and the Margaritas were perfect. I will definitely be making a trip from Middletown up to here for dinner and drinks!!!“

“The food is amazing. I normally order for a business meeting or myself at times, and it is really good. The quality of the food is great, and there's a lot of food, which is a plus. We love it. I can not rate on the atmosphere or in-person service because we have not been in person, but overall, this is a 5-star experience for our business.“

“I have enjoyed many products from Taste of Puebla over the years as they come to my local farmers market. Recently I tried 2 new products - the jalapeño poppers and the queso. Both are quite tasty. The poppers fried up well and are full of flavor. The queso is creamy and not too salty. it's great as a dip or on nachos. I highly recommend both!“

“Been here twice. This time I ordered a variety of tacos, including steak, chicken, shredded beef, and marinated pork. Each taco had a great portion, full of flavors, and the price was so good. I love shredded pork and chicken, while my friend loves steak. We also ordered a steak burrito that tasted good as well. Staff members didn't speak much English, but it wasn’t a problem at all. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. Expect to wait 10-15 minutes during busy hours. This store is such a local gem.“

“Great bowls and burritos! Well above the chain options. Food is fresh, delicious and place is clean and customer service friendly.“

“Food was Delicious and the service was Extremely Friendly Fast and Efficient with a lovely atmosphere... It Definatly will be a family favorite. La comida estuvo deliciosa y el servicio fue extremadamente rápido y eficiente, con un ambiente encantador ... Definitivamente será un favorito de nuestra familia.“

“I've had the Burritos, Tacos, and a Torta Cubana, all were excellent. I'll be back often.“

“4/13/25 Delicious tacos. Every. Time. However, they've been closed for a good while now. Hope they reopen soon!“
