Ordered the chilaquiles w pastor via doordash since they were just added on there. First off, it's a TON of food, all packaged nicely for delivery. Very good flavor for the pastor, the pineapple was a nice touch. The salsa verde had great heat, probably the best I have had in this area. Rice and beans had a mellow flavor to complement it all. Will definitely order again and try other things.

Called ahead to put my order in and it was ready at the time I requested, in 25 minutes. Paid for the meal when I arrived. There is only outdoor seating, primarily covered in a built outdoor shack. I ordered a burrito with pastor, two tacos with chorizo and pastor, carne asada plate and churros. Everything was delicious, no complaints, other than the tacos needed more cilantro (for my preference) and the pinto beans were bland. They included extra corn tortillas, two tomatillos salsas, and two smoky chipotle chili salsas. I asked for no soft cheeses. The pastor and chorizo were flavorful. I would've liked the pastor to be more crispy, but I still really enjoyed it. The burrito was the best burrito, especially with the salsas, that I've enjoyed so far since living on this side of the coast. The burrito came with a ton of fresh plain salad. Double fresh corn tortillas for each taco makes me so happy! That's the only right way to have a legit Mexican taco. The Carne Asada from the plate dish was pounded thin, mild flavor. Came with a grilled half of a jalapeño, small side plain salad, grilled nopales, grilled onions, rice, and pinto beans. Even though the pinto beans were bland, the salsas made up for the lack of flavor. Churros were warm and fresh. Wish this place was a lot closer to me, otherwise, I would frequent it a lot more!

We’ve traveled all over Mexico and have eaten a lot of fabulous Mexican food throughout their country. This little hidden gem is some of the very best Mexican food we have ever had! Very authentic. i had the chicken chilaquiles and my husband had a steak torta. Both were amazing. The green salsa packed a nice heat. All the flavors were bursting and doing a happy dance in my mouth. I was very excited to see that they have chilaquiles on their menu because this is so hard to find in the states. i haven’t found it in any other Mexican restaurant here in Wilmington. Who would have thought a little place in Leland would have it! They also had mole as the special today. That’s hard to find too! They have a cute little outdoor covered seating area that makes you feel like you are in an authentic Mexican taqueria. When you first drive up, it doesn’t look like much but don’t let that fool you. We loved the entire experience and will definitely be back! Oh, and their sanitation score is a 98. Very clean and sanitary kitchen.

This is a little walk up place with detached seating. The huevos divorciados with chorizo was AMAZING and worth 5 stars all on its own. I wish they would have taken a wet washcloth to the tables before we got there! A clean table would have really made this place shine all the more. But really, the food is lovely and worth the drive.Wheelchair accessibility: While there are technically ramps up they are steep and not in the best of repair. If you are trying to get here by wheelchair know that you can but it will be difficult.

Just moved out here and we decided to try this place since we lived so close by. IT"S SO GOOD!! The chicken is especially awesome. We tried the street tacos, chicken quesadilla and the chicken tostada. Everything especially the vegetables were fresh and delicious. I will definitely continue to eat here.
