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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Muy deliciosa y gran servicio!“

“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.“

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

“love the hard shell tacos“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“Delicious food 😋 excellent service and great prices!!“

“Love the service and the food was great! Highly recommended, and for the price, can't be beat! I ordered a burrito and a juice and it cost $14. The juice was huge and I took half the burrito home with me since I couldn't finish it. Love the free pumpkin seeds and chips for appetizers. If you're near here, especially after visiting the contemporary art museum, you just have to stop by!“

“We love the Mexican post, Wilmington. The best waitress there is Sharon!! She's there to take care of everyone. Best employee they have! Can't wait to come back again.“

“The food is outstanding. We come here whenever we are in the neighborhood.“

“Great food... the best Mahi tacos. If you're there on a crowded night the waitstaff absolutely hustles, never a wait. The space is small, go early if you want to sit at a table on a night there is music.

Update 12/23/24... STILL love this place. I just wish it was bigger!“

“Excellent service. Always friendly. Tasty food, good price and delicious guacamole 🥑“

“The food was delicious! You get a lot of food for what you pay. It is definitely worth it. They bring out chips with refried beans and cheese on top which was different and very good. The fresh waters were delicious we had pineapple and guayaba. Both hit the spot! I couldnt finish my plate like i said it was a lot of food so i had enough for rhe next day. Definitely recommend and will be back to try different menu options!“

“The food and atmosphere is amazing. Good music, and good food but the service is not it. It took about 10-15 minutes to even get our menus and she did not check on us once. Mind you, there were only 2 other tables. We had to find her to get the check while she was talking at the bar with her co workers. The chef is not at fault, the food was good. An“
