50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Chadds Ford

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

“I love the tacos in three amigos Mexican grill, the bar and the color in all restaurant, great restaurant“

“Food Is Good & Really Respectful & Nice Service“

“Stopped past the one in Downingtown today for lunch I had the Birria tacos and the beef Quesadilla the food was very good and refreshing. Made to order. Mimi waitied on us and she was very polite and friendly with a flashy smile. I will recommend. & I will definitely be eating here again :)“

“Everything we've had here is delicious!!“

“This is our go-to place for Mexican takeout in Kennett Square. We regularly get the special meat burrito with lomo (seasoned shredded pork), burrito with asada, and chicken quesadilla. The huaraches and enchiladas are also really good. All meals come with a ton of food. They give you little hot sauce containers and limes to go with your meal. There’s a small eating area where you often find people dining, but we typically to takeout because we order during the week and the food travels well. They’re always really quick when we call; about 15 minutes and the food is ready.

The owner is almost always the one who answers the phone and greets you when you come in. You can tell that he cares about his restaurant and making his customers happy, and you can feel good that you’re supporting a small local business, not a big chain. (If you happen to be helped by someone other than the owner, like a moody teen, don’t let it put you off).

The prices are reasonable, especially considering how much food you get.

One note: PAY CASH or you’ll be charged a credit card fee that they don’t even tell you about. This is the one complaint I have about this place. I know that many businesses are now doing this, but there are no signs in the restaurant warning of this fee and if you tell them you’re paying by card, they type a higher amount into the credit card machine without telling you.

The small parking lot could definitely be repaved and the building looks a little iffy in its lighting and placement among car repair shops and an apartment construction site, but it all adds to the feeling that you’ve found a hidden gem.

Parking: Not too many spots, but I’ve never found it totally full. Pavement is bumpy with lots of holes.“

“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 can only speak on the Downingtown drive-thru location. The manager was friendly and enthusiastic. If you want drive-thru Mexican food, it's way above Taco Bell. It's the same food as their restaurant locations but with faster, drive-thru service. My burrito was delicious! The only negative was the burrito was in a cold tortilla. Their tortilla chips were excellent as well. The best part is their prices have lowered! You must try the shrimp tacos as well!“

“The staff are very nice and accommodating in addition to the good and fresh food I usually get the beef tacos and love them. I highly recommend this restaurant in West Chester.“

“Muy deliciosa y gran servicio!“

“Beautiful night sitting outside but several dirty tables. However, the food and service, were hands down, fantastic! First visit and will go back! Started with the traditional guacomole made table side accompanied by a delicious margarita. Loved this dish! Tried the Dip Sampler with the warm chips ~ another pleasant surprise with so many flavors. Carnitas tacos were made with fresh ingredients and selected the flour tortilla instead of the corn tortilla. So good!! Mexican corn was ok. I will go back; frankly, can't wait to go back!“

“Excellent food, superb margaritas and attentive service“

“Lo mejor de lo mejor 😋, un lugar para volver. 100% garantizado“

“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.“

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

“We had the best meal tonight! Very authentic and a refreshing Mexican cuisine ! Highly recommended!! Cant wait to go back!!! Loved the chicken burrito and homemade chips with guacamole!!!!!!“

“Just went for lunch - great place, great service, great food ! We will be back !“

“Fish Tacos are fab!“

“love the hard shell tacos“

“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“

“found this place about ten years ago from another friend. Loved it since then. Come here often. loved their fish taco and other tacos.

Mostly a take out place so the dinning area is very basic.

If you dine in, They don’t provide drinking water. You have to buy bottles water or other soft drinks“

“amazing food and staff, always fast“

“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.“

“We love Your Tacos! Authentic Hand made!“

“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.“

“Staff was very friendly, we had a party of 10, which included one person in a wheelchair, and they rearranged some tables to seat us right away, even though it was busy. The food was amazing. I will definitely be going back. 10 out 10. Our waiter was on point and constantly making sure we had everything we needed at all times.“

“Last night was my first time trying El Maya everything was absolutely amazing… The Homemade Guacamole was delicious and the Margaritas were perfect. I will definitely be making a trip from Middletown up to here for dinner and drinks!!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Everything was delicious!!! Staff was awesome!“

“I have enjoyed many products from Taste of Puebla over the years as they come to my local farmers market. Recently I tried 2 new products - the jalapeño poppers and the queso. Both are quite tasty. The poppers fried up well and are full of flavor. The queso is creamy and not too salty. it's great as a dip or on nachos. I highly recommend both!“

“Great food and friendly atmosphere.“

“great food, very authentic“

“This restaurant was much anticipated and is greatly appreciated! Their food presentation and quality are always consistent and in-point! I love good food and this restaurant doesn’t disappoint. The ingredients are fresh and the chefs have perfected their craft. I’ve never left this restaurant with regret over choosing them over another. Try the fajbrito with steak…scrumptious!“

“They claim on their poster to be the “king of the machete” so we got the machete. Did not disappoint. Good amount of food at a reasonable price point. Warm, flavorful, and came with enough salsas to satisfy.

This place is a super casual taco truck that you will miss if you are just driving by. It’s hard to just stumble upon. We were seeking it out, and it was not a very obvious spot. A few tables outside to eat if you’d like. Grab a beer at the nearby liquor store and enjoy authentic Mexican food at Taqueria Los Juarez.“

“I wanna start off by saying their horchata comes in a Hugh jug which is great!!! Very flavorful nice and sweet. Al pastor tacos had tons of flavor and very juicy!!! Homemade tortillas for sure. Rice and beans also had a lot of flavor… Inside the restaurant it’s self is very bright and spacious. A lot of parking on street and a parking lot. The only complaint I really have is the tortillas them self’s are just a little grainy as it’s expected since it’s homemade. Besides that place has great Al pastor tacos.“

“If you are craving actual quality zesty fresh flavor, than this is the only place. I keep wanting to take a picture of my order to show in the review, but I get too excited to eat my food that I forget. Great location, customer service. No fluff, just authentic good food. I recommend you eat this food in person for maximum experience.“

“Delicious food 😋 best fajitas“

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

“Food was awesome. Me and my family are new to town and this place is one of the best.“

“Had a great time celebrating my son’s 20th birthday 🎂. We had a party of 12, fast serve, great food. Highly recommend!“

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

“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.“

“I do not reccomwnd atexquita. I went there for dollar taco night a couple months back and they let us know they no longer offer that but instead a different special. Not a problem at all, the problem was that they wanted until after we ate to tell us it was cash only or we had to pay full price. When i asked the waiter why we weren’t informed before we were told we should have known. I asked to speak to the manager and received the same response, we should have known and they would charge us full price if we didn’t have cash on us. I have asked to speak with the owner and/or another manager and still have yet to receive any response either via Facebook or email. I would not waste my time here if I was you, it was an experience i wish i never had.“

“excellent good, service and delicious margaritas!“
