“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Excellent food, superb margaritas and attentive service“

“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.“

“I went to this location on Thursday around lunch and received absolute exceptional service. Thank you to the employees working that shift, your act of kindness will never be forgotten. I appreciate you 🩷. My steak burrito bowl hit in a different way that day. Thank you again. I would give 10 stars to this location if I could. Give them a try!!“

“We love Your Tacos! Authentic Hand made!“

“Fish Tacos are fab!“

“More of a small business fast casual place than full restaurant --no table service. But the food was very flavorful, nice portion sizes, and friendly staff. They do have indoor and outdoor seating after you order and get your food at the counter.

Parking: Right off the main road, can be hard to back out when leaving because you're backing out right onto the street.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“love the hard shell tacos“

“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.“

“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!!!!!!“

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“amazing food and staff, always fast“

“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.“

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

“The food is really fabulous. Quickly becoming one of my favorites!!!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food and friendly atmosphere.“

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

“Delicious food 😋 best fajitas“

“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.“

“Love AZTECA!!!! My 4th time and has been great every time. It may become a weekly treat!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“The breakfast burritos are phenomenal, Im sure the other food is good but thats all I have had along with the orange juice.I always get the exact same thing. Froman Burrito with fresh avocado and extra cheese, its the best breakfast I have had in town.I see a lot of complaints about pricing and wait times, and Jaco has a tiny kitchen/restaurant so I feel confident they are just doing the best they can in regards to wait time.Pricing? Its definitely not cheap but we live in an expensive area and everything is really fresh and good and they don’t skimp on portions, if price point is your concern nowhere in West Chester is cheap anymore.“

“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!“
