“Chanced to eat here as a pleasant day and they had outside seating. Their caldo pollo (chicken soup) was excellent. Caldo Pollo is a sentinel dish. If a place has good caldo pollo, carnitas, and tamale it's pretty certain everything else will be good. Also had a very good torta cubano. The extra spicy salsa (you have to request) was superb. Love the staff.“

“A blast from my past. I live in the south and only get pancheros when I come up north. I was pleased to see it in Columbia so I had to visit. Queso tastes just like I remember. I think they should grill the finished burrito after it’s bobed and rolled. I think that would add a little more texture to the tortilla.“

“I ordered UberEats from this restaurant, and it's the best Mexican food I've had in a long, long time.
The salsa was spectacular, really lovely and tangy with a tiny bite to it. The guacamole was well seasoned and delicious.
I ordered carnitas tacos, which came with pickled red onions, cilantro, avocado, and a sprinkling of cotija (I think). They were lovely - tender meat with just the right amount of toppings. The beans and rice were awesome. And the prices were so reasonable and definitely worth paying for what I got.
I fully enjoyed this meal and highly recommend Delia's for anyone in the area!“

We came on a Friday night right at dinner time, the place was busy, but we did not have to wait a long time for our service at all. They were on their game. This joint is on our A-list when we're thinking of a night out.“

“Years ago I fell in love with their mole’ poblano. The sauce was so dark and rich and thick but for the last 5 years or so it is not the same. Now it has some red mixed in and is more like enchilada sauce. I can get a jar of Dona Maria and make it better at home. Other aspects of this place are fine but just wish the mole’ was like it used to be.“

“We dined outside. We had a view of the lake. It was nightfall really couldn't see much of anything. There were a few little green flys that kept landing on us. Otherwise, the portion size was good and the prices were reasonable. The only disappointment for me was no vegetables on my plate of food, which consisted of steak,rice and cheese. It wasn't spicy at all, which I imagine would appeal to some people.“
