We were all very excited to find an authentic mexican place since we are mexican our selfs. We went last Saturday afternoon since we were vacationing in the area with some family members. The young lady in front is very rude and has no costumer service manners whats so ever. Her face said it all the moment we walked in. My food took so long to come out and I noticed the people that order after me where getting their food first, I would even say they prefer their American costumers way more since it looked like they were getting better service than our party of 7. The food was “ok” but not worth what I payed. Next day we just decided to have dinner at the Waffle House in front, spent half of what I payed here and the service was way better.

This was my first time visiting; ordered takeout went thru drive thru. Very convenient! This is the best Mexican food I have had in wilmington! Tacos are authentic! Chimichanga was delicious too with really good cheese sauce! Everything was hot and order was correct. There salsa Verdes is very good too! This will be my go to for Mexican food from now on!!!

Clean restaurant, great portions for price, and service was quick and made-to-order. Will be back again!

It was going well until my mother received her order which she ordered a bowl of menudo. The meat was very undercooked and tough to chew, like chewing rubber. After bringing it to the cashier’s attention she asked if we needed a knife and we had to explain to her that it was tough to chew because it was undercooked. She seemed annoyed and offered to replace it with a different food option. She took off to the kitchen to put the order in and didn’t bother removing the bowl. A female worker (cook or food prep) walked to the counter with an upset expression on her face to see who complained about the menudo. AND THATS WHERE CUSTOMER SERVICE WENT DOWN HILL. She went about attending the side bar and cleaning, I had to remove the bowl front the table and carry it back to the checkout counter to which she then took it from me. The new food option was brought out and that wasn’t any better, flavorless, watered down broth but at this point we decided to not bother with a complaint since it was clear that it was taken personal and you could clearly see the attitude and change in customer service.I suggest passing on this spot if you don’t like the staff making it obvious that they are talking about you and get an attitude when you make one complaint about an undercooked dish.

Worst churizo tacos I've ever had. Even tried it twice to see if the first time i went was a fluke.

Tacos were pretty good, unfortunately the thieves stole money from me. I Ordered 5 tacos @ $2.19 a piece plus a $.70 upcharge for 1 lengua taco. The total should have been $11.65 plus tax. My total pre-tax came to $16.53. Lesson learned, I will not order another thing from them.

Great place for small plates (like Tapas) with a large assortment. A salsa and toppings bar also. We were looking for a light, late lunch and it totally delivered. Great food at a great price.

This place is sooooo good! Authentic Mexican at its best. Their cheese sauce is amazing and the tacos on point!

My fiancé and I just drove 3 hours and we were starving. We only had 30 minutes before she had a big important zoom meeting for med school. They fed us fresh tasty food quickly. The Al pastor tacos and Torta are great. The pickles and salsa are the jam AND we made the meeting on time and stuffed!

Tacos had a good amount of filling, salsas were fresh n tasty! with a drink it was less than $12
