“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!“

“Went to grab a bite on my way to the airport, we got the trio tacos and the birria quesadilla. When I say 10/10 it was great! Presentation and flavors on point. Service was great I parked across the street, and they brought my food to my car.“

“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.“

“It was our first time here. Our waitress Erika and the chef Juliana were amazing. We are having a hard time to decide what did we enjoy more, margaritas, dinner or dessert? We had strawberry field and el diablo margaritas. The winner was the strawberry field. For dinner we had steak fajitas and it was a good size for both people, the tortillas are made in house and you can ask for flour or corn tortillas, we had both. For dessert we had Sopapia with a home made horchata ice cream. We loved everything and definitely we will be coming back“

The food is always fresh and delicious, the staff are SO nice, and the entire place has a cozy, well-decorated vibe. Really the customer service here is just so ridiculously good that I would come again just for that alone.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Outstanding food Great people“

“3 countries is the absolute BEST in new castle ! We order from them ALL the time they know us from how much we order from them . Super friendly people with AMAZING food !!! I’ll recommend them to ANYONE !“

“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:
You have to try the Papa Locas. They are so so good. Maybe even better than the burrito. I am obsessed with it.“

“Micheladas and margaritas are delicious! Definitely recommend!“

“My wife and I decided to check this place out today. Turned out to be an amazing find. We tried the taco birria, asada tacos and steak burrito. The food was all around excellent. Customer service was very nice as well. What a gem for a quick authentic bite to eat. Great addition to the area.“

“Muy sabroso todo los pambazos taquitos chicharrones 👌🏼“

“I came in after work around 630. Order some Asada tacos. They were phenomenal.

But I had an interest in dessert. Tres Leches specifically. I asked about them and were told they were in the fridge but they weren't. They actually had no desserts at all.

That was a bummer. Other than that, the person serving at the register was pleasant and the place was clean, quiet and smelled like food and a good time!

Definitely going back there!“

“I recommend this restaurant their food is authentic full of love & flavor😋 If your in the Wilmington area this is definitely a go to spot the owners are very welcoming & nice🫶🏾 while also having delicious food I hope this business can continue to thrive“

“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!“

“Great Mexican food. Service was great.“

“OMG! We went here last week and I got the shrimp fajitas with flour tortillas, my boyfriend got the shrimp and chicken tortillas, tbh we ordered alot and the manager that night brought us out a crab and cheese dip which was phenomenal! You have to try the homemade made salsas! When I tell you I left so satisfied and happy ! This place will always be in my top 5!“

“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!“

“Isaiah provided an amazing experience at Wonder. From the moment we arrived, he was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. He had great knowledge of the menu and gave thoughtful recommendations that turned out to be perfect. His energy was calm yet engaging.“
