50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Wilmington

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

“Five Stars | A True Neighborhood Gem
​If you're looking for authentic, incredible tacos right in the neighborhood, this place is the real deal. Being just two blocks away makes it entirely too easy to drop by, but convenience aside, it legitimately serves the closest thing to real NYC-style tacos you will find anywhere nearby.
​They recently expanded their menu, and the new volcan tacos with carne asada are an absolute must-try—perfectly crispy tortillas loaded with flavorful, charred beef. On top of that, their salsa bar is elite: incredible flavor, great heat, and you can grab as much as you need. To top it off, their orange lemonade is hands-down the best drink on the menu, and the prices can't be beat for this quality.
​Do yourself a favor and come support an amazing local business!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

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

“Delicious food 😋 best fajitas“

“Fish Tacos are fab!“

“The best rice & homemade salsa 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜“

“This place is so good, I’ve been here multiple times. I always get the mushroom bowl, it's so good and definitely my favorite thing on the menu! I love adding all the peppers, toppings, and hot sauce. So good!! The staff is also really nice and always friendly.“

“Great food and friendly service every time I go there, which is a lot.“

“THE VERY BEST HANDS DOWN !!!“

“I was excited to see what the next generation to occupy the old Stoney's British Pub on Concord Pike would be. Maiz does not disappoint! From the moment you walk in the door you can really see the difference. It is relaxed, current, and yet vibrant atmosphere. Very well done! I started with the street corn appetizer. This is a great choice if you are looking for a small plate to wake up your pallete with a delicious lime crema sauce, and cotilla cheese seared and still juicy in every bite. For the entree I ordered the Salmón a la Veracruzana. This dish is a perfectly prepared pan seared salmon filet with traditional Vera Cruz sauce. It is slightly spicy but pairs with the salmon perfectly. All Entrees are served with a small plate of rice and beans. The Salmon dish also comes with two slices of Garlic Toast. My server, Iran, was tremendous and I would recommend asking for her every time. Over all this was a very pleasant dining experience and I fully recommend anyone looking for good, authentic, Mexican food in the North Wilmington area add Maiz to your itinerary. You wont be disappointed!“

“Best tacos in Delaware! Move over el pique!“

“I have never left a review before in my life. This is my first ever review. And I can say it is an honor to have this place be my first review. We didn’t even know the staff. Just started off as strangers and ended up as family. My dad went into the hospital for emergency open heart surgery and these kind people gave us flowers and a signed card by all the staff. They didn’t even know us but they did such a great gesture. Please go to this place. Iv never met such amazing people and I will definitely be back. Way above 5 stars. What amazing people and please join me and welcoming them to their new Wilmington location. My first ever review and I’m so proud that this place is it.“

“Have been to the Claymont truck a couple times now - outstanding burrito. Dare I say best one in Claymont. Fresh, authentic, delicious. My new go to spot
Update Sept 2026:

Bought a Jarritos and a La Guerrense ice cream bar. 10/10 siempre. Looking forward to many more great conversations and great meals!“

“Great Mexican food. Service was great.“

“Very decent food, pricing, and atmosphere, without any extras it's only $28 for two bowls, not bad and you get a nice size amount too. You could eat inside or upstairs, maybe right outside and even take it on the riverfront walk... Just of course be neighborly and discard of all trash.“

“Ignore the fact that we were too hungry to take pictures before we started eating, haha. The food was delicious and super cheap ($38 for these 3 plates + 2 sodas). The workers are very friendly and service was great. HIGHLY recommend the oxtail stew, the meat is super soft and juicy and just packed with flavor.“
