I would recommend this restaurant for the ambience, service as well as the food.
Janal E.

I picked this place through a google search and I was pleasantly surprised. I was looking for a place that was quaint and intimate and I struck gold on both fronts. The server that waited on us by the name of Janice was sociable and very attentive to our needs. She came to our table a number of times asking if we were satisfied with our meals which should be standard practice but in the current times we live in, not so much. The cheerfulness and overall attitude of Janice actually made the food taste that much better! That being said, I would like to say thank you to the staff and especially Janice for making my first experience at Guelagetza Oaxaca and epic one

A hidden gem that gives you a taste of real unique Mexican dishes. Lots of flavor with broths, veggies and spices! We had the pleasure of a server with a beautiful voice that sang during our dinner!

This spot is absolutely legit. Amazing authentic food that blows 99% of other Mexican food in Wilmington out of the water.

Buen Dia - There's three pancakes here I swear

I decided to treat myself to lunch at Buen Dia today after hearing great things about their food,…read moreand I'm so glad I did! I had an Attractions Book coupon for $8 off two entrees, so it was the perfect opportunity to try a couple of dishes. The restaurant is located in the same shopping area as Three Friends Coffee and Bonefish Grill, so there's plenty of parking available. When I arrived, there were several tables open, and the hostess greeted me and seated me right away. My waitress was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout my visit. For lunch, I ordered the Buen Dia Bowl, which had grilled chicken, poblano peppers, and a wonderful combination of other delicious ingredients. Everything was so flavorful and fresh! I also ordered the Birria Bowl to take home and enjoy as another meal, and I'm really looking forward to trying it. The atmosphere was another highlight. Even as other customers came in, the restaurant never got overly busy or loud, making it a really pleasant place to sit and enjoy a relaxing lunch. Between the delicious food, excellent service, and comfortable atmosphere, I had a fantastic first experience at Buen Dia! I'm definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more of their menu.

UPDATED REVIEW:…read more Fantastic breakfast spot in Wilmington! I went to Buen Dia for a work breakfast with my coworkers, and everything was fantastic! The food, service, and overall vibe were excellent. We were seated right away, and the food came out quickly, which made the experience even better. The Chilaquiles and Huevos Divorciados were delicious, and the Cafe de Olla was outstanding. In fact, it's the best Cafe de Olla I've tried in North Carolina so far! My only minor comment is that the ventilation could be better, as your clothes tend to pick up the smell of the food. Other than that, everything was great! 100% recommended! If you're looking for a delicious breakfast and a great atmosphere in Wilmington, Buen Dia is definitely worth a visit. I'll be back!

This is my absolute favorite place for ceviche. I came here once by chance on a work trip from…read moreWashington state. When I got back to Washington, I was trying like every restaurant with ceviche in search for something as good as this place and I couldn't stop talking to everyone about it. I flew back to Jacksonville, NC to visit someone and I had to make the trip to Wilmington just to come h. Try the sampler ceviche dishes! You will not regret it!

A hidden gem in Wilmington ... a well kept secret of the locals …read more.. From the outside .. it looks like a road side hole in the wall but once youre in, its a whole new world ! Most people enter the bar entrance where the small patio area is .. but on the other side of the patio is the main entrance where you are created by the host stand .. You would never know how big this place is from the outside but once in... its like one of the hamster cage cages with never ending tunnels to different rooms/area... RSVP are definitely suggested since walkins are usually in Bar area or Patio area .. which isnt bad .. but its limited seating .. Staff here are cool but service can be a lil wait if they are busy . Menu is a Panamanian vibe with lots of good eats .. One of the salsas you must get is the Elote salsa its very nommm nommmm next would be the Goat Gauc which is equally amazing. The Ceviche is a must get ... yes get the Quattro which is 4oz of each one so you can sample all ! The scallops and pork belly of mash is pretty good but would be better over the coconut rice . The special of the day was a sheepshead filet over risotto which was pretty damn good ! The corvina was ok but was a little bit over done and ended up a lil drier than expected. Highly recommend asking for the homemade hot sauce ... its amazing and goes on everything! This is definitely a locals Hotspot and an interesting place to people watch... Will definitely comeback for sure .
