    Burrito Express/Charro (Bear): My Say, My Way... 11-17-18 2:30PM 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 in the area.

    First impressions are last impressions so in the case of the taste of my meal I had here, it was delicious. The store is tucked inside a small shopping centre on the very end so it would be very easy to miss. I'm familiar with the area but never been or noticed here. Worth the find. Wanted authentic Mexican food and received nothing short of just that. For starters for my first time I tried the empanadas which come with 3, rice, and side salad. Empanadas were golden, crispy and real warm. Tender juicy pieces of chicken inside. Only thing I would change or add is some more seasoning. It's still delicious either way. Definitely returning in the future. Next victim the enchiladas lol.

    Found this place randomly on doordash during the height of COVID and haven't stopped going back since. Food is always fresh & flavorful. Would definitely recommend!

    You know it's authentic when even the mild sauce is hot

    I've been coming to this place for years, but this Keto life has kept me away. Tonight, though, I'm tired, cold and Keto'd out. This little corner place in Bear has better, authentic, Mexican food than most big cities I've been too. Service is prompt and polite. The food is fresh and hot. The restaurant is cozy, and clean. Since I was cheating, I went for broke. Started with the Chorizo Queso. The meat was spicy and cooked just right. I should've stopped there but decided to have the beef chimichangas for my main course. The tortilla shells were fried nice and crisp, and the seasoned steak inside was juicy and tender. I soooo needed this and so do you. This place just makes you feel comfortable, and they always got some soccer match on....lol

    Very very good food. Great price and truly authentic. Such good quality hidden gem! Check it out

    Muy autentico!

    So good. So perfect. Great portion sizes. Great prices. Perfect flavor. If you're looking for seriously authentic Mexican food in the Wilmington area, this is definitely a place to check out. It's in the back on the corner, so don't drive by. Trust your directions. I had the steak tacos. Perfection. My father had a burrito. It was glorious. My mama had the flan. Delightful. My daughter and son had the cheese quesadilla and rice from the kids menu. Perfect size for kids. The rice was soft, fluffy, and yummy. Hubs had tacos too. He got five and that was way too many. 3-4 would have been enough. Great service. Clean bathroom. My only regret is that I didn't try the Mexican Hot Chocolate.

    By far the tastiest most reasonably price hidden gem! Highly recommend if you're in the mood for authentic Mexican food. We had their taquitos and they didn't fail to please. Tasty with your choice of salsas while you wait. Two meals with drinks - $19.50!!

    Extras make this mexican grill stand out from the area. In particular, homemade flan, chorizo,…read morehomemade hot-sauce (by request), and hot roasted peppers. We got the Comal Mexicano, which is perfect for the two of us to make our own fajitas just the way we like. I dig the lime and onion whereas the Mrs. favors the tortillas and sour cream. We both agree the meats were cooked properly with a touch of seasoning for flavour. Flan was a very smooth texture, not gritty or lumpy, with a nice caramel sweetness. Friendly service made this a most enjoyable meal. Looking forward to exploring more of the menu in the future.

    I had high hopes for Fiesta Maya Mexican Grill, but unfortunately the experience didn't live up to…read moreexpectations. The food was just okay--nothing particularly flavorful or memorable, and some dishes seemed like they had been sitting out too long before being served. Service was also disappointing. It took quite a while for someone to take our order, and we had to ask multiple times for basic things like refills and utensils. The staff didn't seem very attentive or organized. The atmosphere itself was decent, but it couldn't make up for the slow service and lackluster food. Overall, not the worst place I've been to, but definitely not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again.

It's cozy inside with ornate tables which seem to be hand carved and painted in a vibrant traditional style-definitely awakens your senses and mood. So the food...pretty damn good! I had perfectly seasoned steak fajitas served on a sizzling plate of peppers and onions. It came with rice, salad, shredded cheese, and of course soft tortillas on a separate plate. It also comes with sour cream and guacamole but I passed on those and decided to use the green salsa they provided at the table, which had a perfect flavor balance of savory and spicy. The portion sizes are unbelievable! My fajita plate was huge, I had plenty of leftovers to take home. My husband had a Torta Niurca sandwich which was massive. He loved it and was also unable to finish it! The service was fast and friendly. This is the second I've had lunch here. The first time I came I had chicken enchiladas which was just okay. Maybe that was an off day or maybe there are just certain menu items they have that they can knock out of the park. With the steak fajitas, they certainly did!
