    Elotes
    Gabriella D.

    This place is incredibly good! I have absolutely been sleeping on it. Amazing prices, the flavors are very authentic, and they even had a models special when we went! It's a small restaurant with two bar areas to sit, and one or two separate non-bar tables. Our server was very attentive despite being the only server there--it is a small place so they probably don't need more than one person working anyway. I cannot wait to go back!

    Quick service, gluten friendly, taste authentic! Priced fairly! Queso is yellow but good

    Having some adult beverages and didn't want to leave the house, so we decided to order in. I wanted something lite to go with my delicious brew! Elotes, Mexican street corn! The corn was roasted and then covered in Queso Blanco goodness! These chips are unforgettable! They not only look fun but they have a dust of seasoning that make them impossible to stop eating. Some of the best queso cheese I've ever had! I totally recommend!

    This place is so small that you can easily walk right by it- DON'T! It has seating at a few tables and some seats at the bar. You grab an order sheet and a pencil and check off everything you want. There is also a big menu on the wall as well with some specials. I went with several friends who all ordered different items- various tacos and the taco bowls. Everything was sooooo tasty and fresh! Our waitress was great (Shelby) and so nice. We were able to eat and sit and chat without feeling rushed. Great experience, definitely coming back!

    We found this place just driving around looking for somewhere new to eat. It's on a side street and could be easily missed. Don't miss it though because it's cute and good and friendly and affordable!

    Chicken empanadas..!BOOM!!!

    STOP what you're doing and get your A$$ to this little gem.. Upfront is Danie and she is great/ personality is and she keeps it up with catchy tunes that you can tap your toe too and a attitude of a person you would like to have a conversation with. Dan in the back is the Head Chef/Guy in charge/Mayor and sheriff ....the food here is AWESOME! The tacos are served with hearty portions and the guacamole is on point for the Nation of Guac lovers. Weekly specials along with daily beer specials! Ya gotta check them out (yes better than Block Taco)

    Ordered delivery from Capricho thru Uber Eats last night since I was consuming adult beverages at home and was doing the "responsible" thing by not driving. I've ordered Capricho before and thought the meal was very good so I re-ordered the same items again for a second round, in order to document this review. FOOD: Elotes (Mexican street corn), cheese quesadilla, chips and queso and a grilled chicken burrito with lettuce, rice, black beans, fresh jalapeno, queso fresca, salsa and chopped onion. The elotes was for my wife and she said it was very good. When asked how it compared to her favorite, she stated it wasn't as good due to it being very sweet but she still enjoyed it. Our son's quesadilla was just as it's made south of the border and is simple. The cheese blend was plentiful and the tortillas were soft. The side of creamy chili powder dip wasn't bad at all but since it's served very cold, even I preferred the quesadilla without it, once I took a small bite. My burrito was large...very large. It was wrapped neatly in foil and was hot once I sliced into it. The ingredients were very fresh and savory but this burrito was also bland. I was expecting some spice, heat or kick with each bite but there was none. After I added some Valentina hot sauce on top of each bite, the true flavors of the ingredients finally shined. The best summary I can say about this burrito would be this...it's an X-large burrito from Chipotle, when Chipotle is on their game 100% (which is very rare). It was good, just not great. I appreciate how fresh the ingredients were. If I ordered this again, I would order it with cheddar jack cheese, extra jalapeno and no rice inside. There was such a large rice-to-chicken ratio, that the chicken got lost inside with many bites. The star of the night are their multi-colored chips and queso cheese dip. Both were fantastic but there's something about the seasoning dusting on the chips that make them incredible. Quite possibly, my favorite tortilla chips in town now. SCORE: 3.8 STARS!! SERVICE: Used Uber Eats and was delivered to my door 15 mins earlier than advised. All food was hot, properly packaged and nicely presented for delivery. SCORE: 5 STARS!! OVERALL SCORE: It's tasty, fresh and portionally pleasing. With some heat / spice modifications to the burrito, quesadilla dipping sauce and maybe finding a way to char-grill the corn over an open flame for the elotes, this could be seriously great food. Pricing was very fair though and I would try them again. 3.9 STARS!!!

    I wanted to love this! The reviews looked good. Born and raised in Texas I'm always on the search for some good authentic street Mexican food. However, the food was not what I expected. I ordered a build your own burrito with carne asada. The burrito was a good size but it was mainly rice and guacamole with only a few tiny pieces of carne asada. The taste was good it was just missing the meat (the best part). The street corn was good but the cheese overpowered the whole experience. I want to give this place another try with another menu item so I can find something that I love that others on yelp have found. Just beware of building your own burrito.

    Carnitas tacos, elotes Street corn, beef empanadas,  and chicken tamales. Very very good.  Will definitely be back.

    Small little place with great Mexican Street Food. Order carnitas tacos (single order comes with 2), barbacoa tacos (single order comes with 2), 2 elotes (street corn), beef empanadas (order comes with 2), chicken tamales (order comes with 2), and 2 orders of sweet fried plantains. Everything was very tasty, especially the barbacoa tacos which come with pineapple salsa on each taco. The beef empanadas were also especially good. Total for everything was $28. It was more than enough for wife and I for dinner, and even had a taco and tamale left over for lunch the next day. Will definitely be back, especially for the barbacoa tacos and empanadas. Currently only doing take out, and excepting cash only. The food was really good. Imaginenit will taste even better when COVID-19 is over and people can eat their food fresh and hot at the restaurant.

    Is this business closed? Tuesday, 6:40 pm, the lights are out, door is closed, street signed locked inside!…

    I believe they're only open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 4 - 8 pm each day.

    Is this place closed? The hours say it should be open. I can see a signboard inside the darkened building saying open till 3 am. There's unopened mail on the table nearest the window and the phone number no longer works. The heck?

    Reopened. New hours and new crew. Come check it out.

Today was not my first time eating here, and if I'm be truthful , every time I'm in town, I make it a point to stop by. They serve the kind of traditional Mexican breakfast I grew up loving, along with so many other delicious options. The staff is always warm and welcoming, serving every guest with the biggest smiles. You'll also often see the owner walking around as well, checking on tables and making sure everything is going smoothly, which adds such a personal touch. The restaurant itself is clean, beautifully decorated with cultural charm, and filled with the incredible aroma of fresh spices cooking in the kitchen. I always begin with their Café de Olla--a slow-simmered coffee made with raw brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves, orange peel, and coffee. It's served hot, full of flavor, and not overly sweet. Honestly, it's the only coffee I'll happily drink without creamer or added sugar. This visit, I ordered the Tamal Montado: two tamales over a bed of creamy black bean sauce, covered with red salsa, then topped with a sunny side egg, avocado, Mexican sour cream, queso fresco, and cilantro. Every bite was rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. I finished the meal with a pan dulce, which paired perfectly with the whole experience. I skipped tortillas this time, but they also have a tortilla station where they're made fresh by hand and cooked to order--always a sign you're in the right place!! They're open daily from 7 AM to 3 PM, and if you find yourself in Wilmington, this spot should absolutely be on your list
