Parking was easy, strip mall, plenty of places to park. This was a relatively small place, maybe 10 tables or so. I came in after lunchtime, the place had take out going non stop, and had some customers at tables as well. I had a good feeling as soon as I stepped in. Service was excellent, my server was polite , and accommodating. My order came out faster than I had expected.
I don't think they serve alcohol here. I could be wrong, but I didn't see that option. I ordered a coke bottle. It was cold and refreshing.
Chips & Salsa!!!!
Chips... crispy, fried light, lightly salted, solid chip. Salsa... Red:pureed pretty hard, soupy consistency, great mix of flavor with a nice mild spicy kick to it. Creamy orange: thicker consistency, quite spicy actually perhaps some habaneros in there. Had me sweating, watery eyes, and sneezing a bit Green: chunky, tasted some cilantro and avocado in there. Not as spicy as the orange, but still some kick to it.
I ordered flautas: 4 chicken flautas served with guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream. Chicken was a little on the dry side when you just ate the flauta alone. When accompanied by the pico and sour cream, everything married together in perfect harmony. Crispy, but not fried too hard. You could actually eat the entire tortilla. The pico had some surprise chopped jalapenos in it. I added some of the green salsa for even more kick.
I ordered tacos Mexicanos $2 each. I chose carnitas, pastor, and longaniza y cabeza. Carnitas...perfect balance of crispy and tender. Amazing tacos!!! They were small, but loaded with meat. The tortillas were fresh and crispy as well. Pastor...seasoned flawlessly. Great pastor taco, one of the best around. Lonaniza y cabeza...great taste, a bit greasy, but solid. Pretty much the same a a chorizo taco. Tasted a hint of cinnamon in there, which I'm never about. I'd say middle of the road.
I ordered some take out as well...
Sopes...I chose pastor as my meat. Even when I warmed it up later in the evening it was delicious. Just what I expect when I get a Mexican pizza.
Tamales...The chicken were on point, moist, and not dry at all. I used the green salsa to dip them in. The jalapeno cheese were by far my favorite. I'll def be back to get more when I'm...

As I got out of my car, I could smell the AMAZING aroma of authentic Mexican cuisine... When I walked through the unassuming storefront I was immediately greeted by what I assume is the owner. She made me feel right at home! I asked her what she recommended and she did not hesitate to recomend the burritos. I ordered several (I had to try more than one!) And ended up with two different styles of burrito (one with chicken, beans, rice and cheese, and one with steak, onions, cilantro, rice and beans)
They were both OUTSTANDING. I can't remember having better...
If your anywhere near Wilmington (or even near Philly like me) do yourself a favor and check this place out. You wont regret it!
I can't wait to return and explore the entire menu!
Btw the watermelon agua fresca was...
Read moreThe Mexican sandwich combo for $18.00 is more like a 5.00 sandwich. Way too much bread and mayonnaise with way too thin cut chicken with little breading and overcooked. Combo stated avocado and pickled jalapeños but there was one small slice of avocado and no pickled jalapeños. The only flavor I got was the mayonnaise. No French fries came with it like stated it would. The Flan was more like a store shelf purchased than fresh made. I have no issues with paying big money for food that's delicious and favorable, but I draw the line when it reminds me more of...
