50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Newport

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

“I love it here the workers are cool“

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

“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.“

“Food Is Good & Really Respectful & Nice Service“

“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.“

“Great food!! staff is very nice“

“Today was the first time I came to eat at La Parrillada restaurant and it was a very good experience, the service was very good and attentive and most importantly, the food was very good. I ordered the birria pizza with consommé and the truth is, birria is one of the Better than I've ever eaten, then we enjoyed a good dessert, also very good, I think we will return very soon ???“

“Good drinks and food! Fast service.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The food service exceeded our expectations! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience, and the meal was absolutely delicious. Our server, Nick, was exceptional, making the evening even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking a delightful dining experience with amazing tea.

“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.“

“Amazing food!! This taco truck is our go to stop on our way to Bethany beach! The tortas are HUGE and just as delicious as any I've eaten in Mexico. The red salsa has just the right amount of heat.“

“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.“

“More of a small business fast casual place than full restaurant --no table service. But the food was very flavorful, nice portion sizes, and friendly staff. They do have indoor and outdoor seating after you order and get your food at the counter.

Parking: Right off the main road, can be hard to back out when leaving because you're backing out right onto the street.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The best street tacos hands down !!!“

“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.“

“Toda la comida estaba muy rica. La verdad es que me fascinan los mariscos y nunca había encontrado un restaurante como este que los preparara tan deliciosos. También quiero destacar a la mesera Talía, que es muy buena atendiendo y muy atenta con los clientes.“

“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!“

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