As soon as I walked in it felt I was transported south of the border, Mexican music played overhead and the customers were mostly LatinoThe garden fajita was the best I’ve ever had, absolutely delicious.

Hands down the best AUTHENTIC Mexican I’ve ever had. Value and quality is unmatched. Everything has so much flavor and is delicious. The fresh made tortillas make a world of difference. Victor, our server was so hospitable and very sweet. We cannot wait to come back and to bring all of our friends. Delaware’s best Mexican is a hidden gem.

This restaurant was a 10/10 I kid you not. Me and my husband was driving by and seen this restaurant and decided to give it a try. We were greeted so kindly at the door by a gentlemen. One thing I can say as long as I known my husband he never gets full! The fact he was full off of one item of the menu completely surprised me. Everything was perfectly in price range and reasonable, and the quality was here to match it! Totally recommend a 1000x over!

What a hidden gem. Doesn’t look like much from the outside as it’s part of a little strip mall but this place was worth finding. So cute inside and lovely service. Our server was so attentive and friendly. It was completely authentic Mexican food. The chips salsa and guac were a perfect starter. We got the Al pastor tacos and burrito. The Jamaica was fresh as well. Great meal.

This is the best local Mexican restaurant. You will not find a better priced burrito anywhere else! The portion sizes are great, and the chicken is always seasoned so well. They are very kind people and normally put complimentary chips + salsa in my DoorDash orders. Thank you guys !

This restaurant is small, but mighty! We have had tacos, enchiladas, birria, fajitas, carnitas...all delicious! I checked tonight and saw that I have never reviewed it! This time we had enchiladas and carnitas. Their homemade corn tortillas are fresh and big. The green enchilada sauce is garlicky with a little heat. The rice is light and fluffy. The beans are pinto, mostly blended, but are definitely porky! The salads are fresh and the carnitas is chunky and big, with lots of crispy bits.

If you want an authentic and lovely Mexican experience, try this place!It is a wonderful place to eat for almost all occasions.My partner who has backpacked through Mexico last year thinks this restaurant is super authentic and right out of the family-owned business category from Mexico.We have had take out from there multiple times, and even though Mexican dishes are always too heavy for me, I am willing to go through the uneasiness afterwards for their delicious food.We have had all kinds of tacos and quesadillas, their meat is fresh (which I think is the most important component) and very well seasoned and cooked. Their presentation is simple but cute and lovely, like their lovely Jukebox. The staff are always super friendly and very helpful.Last night my partner took me here for a spontaneous date night after Salsa class, and we had amazing food, Mexico-flag-colored chips and salsa, and Champurrado (if you have never tried it, you nust do so immediately. It is an ancient chocolate-based drink that the Mayans made, so amazing and fitting for these cold wintery nights, but it's not that light, so don't fill up on tacos!).Cannot recommend enough.Extra loveliness points: there are a bunch of Mexican artworks on their walls, including the Eagle warrior portraits, pottery from Aztec calendars and such. Oh and there is always Mexican music playing.Parking: Multiple parking spots in front of the store.

Tacos are amazing. My hubby found the chimichanga a little greasy.

I stopped here on a whim not expecting anything more than your usual taco spot. I was pleasantly surprised. The customer service was unforgettable. Very kind, attentive, and polite. The food was the icing on the cake. I got carnitas tacos and a lime margarita. The tacos were melt in your mouth good. My margarita was delicious! And only 8$ with their premium tequila! (Don Julio or patron) I will undoubtedly be back to this establishment. If you haven’t tried this spot yet I highly recommend.

The food was good as always. We got tacos of asada and tripa as well as rice and beans. My dad had a few bottles of Modelo and my mom had a strawberry margarita and a lime margarita. My fiancee had a Mexican soda a jarrito that was pineapple flavor and I had an horchata. Let me just say this restaurant is on the pricey side. They don't have iced drinks, you have to ask for a cup of ice. Even then it's served in a food container. Our waiter got my mom's margarita drink wrong. She had ordered a strawberry one and got a lime one instead. Then our desert was wrong as well. We ordered 3 orders of strawberry churros and got plain ones with chocolate syrup. We didn't mind and still love eating here either way. I would highly recommend you all give it a try. We got 3 orders of churros which was $18, 26 tacos, 3 sides of rice, a side of beans, 2 models, 2 margaritas, 1 large horchata, and a jarrios soda. The grand total was around $160

If I could give this place zero stars I would. My husband picked up takeout tonight and nothing was right. The chicken quesadillas barely had any chicken in them. The the steak fajitas had three little strips of steak. The rest was all peppers and onions. They messed up the type of tortilla shells. We ordered two orders of salsa and chips and only got one. Everything tasted horrible. I will never ever go back to this place. It was so disappointing. What a disgrace.
