“Had AWESOME first time much there today! Will go back again! Had the chicken empanadas and husband had ground beef Mexican tacos. So fresh and delicious! The empanadas had that fresh fried little bubbles on them and tasted yummy! Wonderful friendly staff and nice open indoor eating dining room. Don't miss this place!!“

“I have lived here for 4.5 years and it has wonderful Wilmington gem. Always get some on my birthday and occasionally other times. The variety ingredients are so delicious and fun, and always fresh. I never get the same thing. It’s def more fun to order in person but to go is always a a good experience too. Go there!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“I’m the first to admit that I would have probably never gone into this establishment on my own. It’s located in an old Wawa that is now a convenient store in what appears to be a run down shopping center. I’m so happy Mr. Taco was recommended by a friend because their food is great. We’ve eaten the burritos, burrito bowl and my personal favorite, the supreme hard tacos with beef. Fresh and delicious- highly recommend. Plus very friendly service!!“

“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.“

“love the hard shell tacos“

“Get the Consomé tacos are so good too. but the Consomé that's the ish.“

“Es súper bonito y uno se siente cómoda y cómodo y entregan rápida la comida y bien organizada 😋☺️☺️“

“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!“

“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!“

“Fish Tacos are fab!“

“I was so impressed with Cactus Cantina. The best Tex Mex food that I have ever had. Ordered the steak burrito which seemed assembled based on my taste: smothered in a delicious and slightly spicy green sauce, delicious refried beans and rice on the side, and a dollop of sour cream. The portion was tremendous and the price was a steal. Efficient service, clean, and nice ambiance. My strongest recommendation.“

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

“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!“

“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…..“

“Visiting from NC and my friend says we are going to have "the best" birria tacos...walked in as they opened, were greeted and served by Beyonce. Great little place...clean, bright and welcoming.
The food....beef empanada and queso birria tacos with consume....ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! the empanada was crispy, meaty and served with a delish sauce. The tacos were PACKED with meat, had incredible flavor and the consume....well lets just say ...can I get a consume IV....truly THE BEST I've ever had.“

“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“

“Really Friendly staff with good food. Not overly loud so we usually come after a long day at work because it relaxing. So far everything we've had has been very tasty. The Lettuce Wrap tacos are my favorite!
Definitely worth giving it a try - it won't disappoint.“

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

“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.“

“excellent good, service and delicious margaritas!“

“I stop by here as much as I can. And every time it is consistently amazing. Please please please open a store front in Middletown!“

“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.“

“I was with a client who was desperately looking for a place to cash his check. After cashing out at the nearby United Cash Checking, we decided to enjoy ourselves by checking out El Amigo. I found a large, reasonably priced onion that I will use to make my chickpea curry.“

“😋😋😋🤗🤗🤗🤗buenísima comida...“

“We randomly tried this place and we were thoroughly impressed. The wife got the enchiladas and loved them. I got chicken tacos and they were so fresh. We got the Agua Pinas and they were out of this world. On top of that, the owner (who I assumed to be) was extremely friendly and was super nice. Definitely will be coming back.“

“Excellent Birria Ramen. My absolute favorite dish to get every single time I come. Never dissapoint with the Birra Ramen.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“UPDATE: 2024 - Food Quality still awesome! We got the "grandma's pizza" and unfortunately it was overdone. They made us a new one and were genuinely concerned on us enjoying the food. Mind you, this was done after it was delivered and they'd already closed. It was EXCELLENT the time! BTW, if you're wondering its a Sicilian margarita pizza with the texture of tomato pie. REALLY GOOD! Also, El Pastor is a another big hit!

When we moved to the area, our neighbors recommended this little place. They are my top place to go to for pizza. Recommend trying the margarita pizza, its way better than Ninos! Wings are yummy too, nice and meaty. Be warned the mild, isnt mild but still is flavorful.

In honesty, their pasta game is okay. I'd say Porto Finos for burgers and pasta, then 3 coutries for pizza.“

“Great Mexican food. Service was great.“
