    $4 burrito
    Kevin M.

    Muy delicioso! Been here a few times now and have to say I'm a fan. The tacos are street style, just meat, onion and cilantro. The Al Pastor might be my fav. The burritos for $4 are not huge, but are very satisfying. They're no frills, but they're stuffed! The tortas are big so, be hungry if you order one. I must say that the lengua (tongue) might be the best I've ever had. If you've never had tongue, don't be afraid. It's like the best braised beef you've ever had, except not as stringy as beef. Tender & juicy little pillows of yummy-ness. I will say there can be a language barrier sometimes, so brush up on that high school Spanish before you go. Cash only! Located in a mini Mexican grocery store, ample parking.

    I have tried to literally every taco shop and Wilmington. Except this one. Mostly because I didn't know they actually served tacos. Looks just like a sketchy a little Mexican grocery. The pork tacos were amazing, I can't wait to go back and try everything else on this menu. Don't be afraid, and the lady behind the counter speaks English just fine. try it. You will be happy.

    Hidden gem, tacos were delicious. Rice was fluffy with corn added and beans were just right. Really enjoyed the meal. Place is within a small grocery store.

We ordered the nachos grande without any protein. It was good. Plenty of food. We had leftovers with 4 adults and 2 young children. I ordered the crispy shrimp tacos and was happy with the quantity, flavor. Kids ordered chicken fingers and fries and were very happy. The ambiance was nice. Restaurant and bathrooms were clean.

    Vibes are really good! Servers are perky and helpful…read more Chips and Guacamole - regular size is good enough for 4 people. (On top of it, they refilled ours. ) guacamole is plentiful, and decorated nicely with garnish of radish. However, as others have said, it is bland. Not bad, but I have had much better. I had El Camino draft beer. Light, enjoyable. Portion sizes are big. Only one in our party got the entree, and half of that was for to go. Rest of us had couple of appetizer and they were sufficient for us. Chilli Relleno was delicious. What I liked was their attention to detail. We asked for quesadillas with jalapeños. They nicely integrated it in the filling, rather than just adding on top. Kudos to chef for such small detail. Will definitely visit again when we are in town.

    We were nicely surprised with how delicious our recent dinner at Tex Mex Tequila was!…read more We stopped in on a Friday night and were quickly seated; I don't think the word is out about this place yet! The service was very friendly and efficient, with several different employees stopping to check in on us throughout the evening (without being overbearing). The complimentary chips and salsa were fantastic and clearly homemade. We ordered the guacamole as well (which came with another giant basket of chips), which I liked, though husband felt it was a little too lime-y. I ordered the pescado (fish) burrito, which was stuffed with rice, black beans, and fish and came with sour cream and pico de gallo on the side (would have preferred it already on there, but I guess they're trying to cater to pickier eaters?). I also added some of our guacamole for an overall delicious bite and a large enough serving that I was able to take half of it home. Husband ordered an al pastor burrito bowl, but wasn't a huge fan because of the texture of the meat. However, the bowl was otherwise quite sizeable and would likely be a great choice with a different meat. Also... the house margaritas are gigantic. We forgot to take a picture, but easily one of the largest margs I've ever gotten for $10 each. My husband tried the peach margarita, which was fresh and summery as well. Overall, would definitely go back! Happy to have a solid Mexican option on 202!

Then all the sudden a roach comes out and crawls onto my husbands cup. He starts screaming and the waiter comes over with drinks. My husband said he was going to sue for 20K dollars for an unpleasant experience. He just gave us the drinks for free.When we left we called the health departmen.NEVER COMING BACK!!!
