50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Penns Grove

“tacos de lengua were delicious“

“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.“

“si muy Rica comida me encanta“

“Super friendly service and excellent food. Will definitely be returning whenever I'm in the area :)“

“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.“

“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!“

“Pleasantly surprised at the quality and flavor. I had the triple tacos. 1 each of birria, jerk chicken, and shrimp. On corn tortillas with fresh lime and cilantro. Excellent! Best food I’ve had in Chester.“

“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!“

“Great food!! staff is very nice“

“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.“

“Service and food was fantastic! Margarita kits were perfect!“

“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“

“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!“

“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 the hard shell tacos“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“The tacos are amazing. Especially the short rib!“

“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.“

“Tacos el compa Juan 💯% recomendado un excelente servicio y la comida único y exclusivo sabor de mi Jalisco , tiene menú familiar para chicos y grandes las famosas quesibirias y el famoso consomé estilo Lagos de Moreno Jalisco todo riquísimo atendidos por la familia hermosillo amador , pasen a probar las delicias no se arrepentirá…..“

“Delicious food 😋 best fajitas“

“Su comida!!!! Su hospitalidad, su buen servicio!!!“

“Absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Best Mexican food in the state!“

“The Sushi at Al Chu is delicious! Everyone should try it!!“

“excellent good, service and delicious margaritas!“

“I agree this is a hidden gem. Vegetarian husband got cactus flower quesadilla with 2 great sauces on the side. I got pastor tacos. So many choices! Recommend take out as they only have 4-5 tables, and it was hot inside. Food was ready in 10 minutes or less.“

“Clicked rice under additions and paid extra because I thought they would add a scoop of rice to the beans that was supposed to come with my order. Instead I just got rice and no beans.

Most places rice and beans is a standard side for orders. That options would be a suggested option for the menu.“

“I’ve always believed you never get a second chance at a first impression! Especially when it comes to restaurant food quality and quantity! L. A. Taco Bistro impressed me in both! I was told about this place by a coworker and decided to give them a try! The customer service, the freshly (on the spot) prepared meals, and the L.A. Taco Bistro signature sauce were all excellent. Be advised, with your food being prepared fresh to order, you will have a wait. My next time, I called ahead and my food was ready at pickup. I’d advise you to call ahead with your preferred pickup time. Their extensive menu will please the most discerning palate! Bon Apetité!“

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

“Looks like they are under new management and are now called Aurora's as of July 2025. Haven't tried the food yet but I came inside to say hello to the new owners and they were super nice. Bought a Jarritos and a La Guerrense ice cream bar. 10/10 siempre. Looking forward to many more great conversations and great meals!“

“We got the surf and turf burrito but as a bowl and birria tacos 🌮🔥🔥 1 millon% recommend! Williams is fantastic owner very friendly and personalble!!! Get up here today ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Muy sabroso todo los pambazos taquitos chicharrones 👌🏼“

“We found this little restaurant just passing by on the street and we’re so glad we went there! Delicious fresh-tasting food (we got some gorditas and also enchiladas). Really great flavors at great prices! The owners were very lovely and made us feel welcome. Don’t miss this place!“

“Micheladas and margaritas are delicious! Definitely recommend!“

“We randomly stopped at the New Castle Farmers Market on a drive elsewhere and randomly happened upon Los Jarritos and thought it was some of the best authentic Mexican we’ve had on the east coast (don’t you love it when that happens?).

We split a burrito with pork and green sauce and a chicken tamal. The burrito was better than the tamal but we still thoroughly enjoyed both.

The pork in the burrito was exceptional - and the red and green hot sauces were an ideal complement.

Chips and salsa were also delicious - can’t tell if they were included or not but our total bill including a Mexican coke was less than $16.

Stopping at this flea market felt like a portal to another world for us out-of-towners, but we enjoyed the experience and would happily go back to Los Jarritos.“

“Muy delicioso y el lugar muy acogedor.“

“Great Mexican food. Service was great.“

“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.“

“We love this place! The food is always phenomenal. We order the pizza deal they offer but decided to switch it up last time. The Bianca pizza was really delicious and so were the Mango Habanero wings. The wings are huge and smothered in sauce and so tasty. The Carne Asada burrito is always a hit! This place is a gem and we are so happy we found a great business to support“

“My first time visiting while out discovering new places in the Newport area. Good authentic Mexican. Not Tex-mex/ Taco Bell. Good service and prices. The flavors were very good. Food was fresh tasting and full of flavor. The sauces were excellent. A local eatery that deserves a try. What it lacks in decor is more than made up for by the food and service. I will be eating here regularly.“

“Love the service and the food was great! Highly recommended, and for the price, can't be beat! I ordered a burrito and a juice and it cost $14. The juice was huge and I took half the burrito home with me since I couldn't finish it. Love the free pumpkin seeds and chips for appetizers. If you're near here, especially after visiting the contemporary art museum, you just have to stop by!“
