I stopped in to order food to go at Taco King and what a wonderful experience! The food was cooked quickly to order, and tasted delicious when we devoured it at home. Authentic cuisines, the chile relleno was incredible! The waitress who assisted me insisted I get some complimentary chips and Salsa while I wait and I enjoyed a cold beverage! The decor is very welcoming and I enjoyed the music and atmosphere fully. Will be back! read more

Jalapeno Grill (Wilmington); My Say, My Way... 1-17-19 4PM Parking was easy for us, we got a spot in front of the place on the street. I could see it being a little tough if it's busy. I think they have a small lot in the back too. This place looks small from the outside, it's not small at all. Had to be at least 30 tables throughout the place. The decor was aesthetically pleasing. They have a bar, but it might be more for service since I didn't see any stools there. Service was excellent! Anything we needed, we got in a reasonable amount of time. When we got food to go, it was packed up with love. I ordered the house marg and Alex stuck to shots of 1800. The marg rivaled the best. Fresh squeezed limes & was 0% tart. I could sip on those all day long. The 1800 was $8.75 and I had a Julio Repo at $8.50, which is very reasonable. I ordered Torta milenesa chicken. Wow!!! This was like a gift from the Gods. The chicken breading was seasoned perfectly and was tender, yet crispy. This was definitely a top tier torta for me. Just look at the picture, this thing was perfect. All of the flavors came together flawlessly, and it wasn't sloppy one bit. I ordered 1 chicken flauta. It was fried unblemished, you could eat the ends, which some folks over fry. This is how you do it folks, the chicken was moist and delicious. Top tier flauta skills here. I ordered 1 chicken tamale. Again the chicken was tender and tasty. The green sauce complimented it very well adding some salt to the sweet of the masa. Another top tier item here. I ordered tacos choosing chorizo, canitas, and pastor. Chorizo...great char, flavorfull taste, not dry, I loved it. Carnitas...seasoned well, on the edge of being dry, but not. Pastor...onion heavy could have used the pineapple in this case. Better than average, but closer to the middle of the road. The tortillas were solid as well.. read more

Was canvassing in the area and stopped by initially to borrow the bathroom and ended up staying for lunch. Tried a few different tacos and they were all really delicious - especially the Baja fish tacos. The back room is really spacious and chill that I felt totally comfortable eating inside. My coworkers and I ended up eating there all three days we were in town. One day they even had a taco special which allowed us to eat even more tacos per person! Definitely check this place out if you are in the area! read more

Don't let the area/neighborhood fool you- Jalapeno Grill is a keeper! From the outside, it looks like a small little hole in the wall, but the inside is extremely clean and updated. The lighting is great and the booths are newly constructed. It's a cozy lil place at best! Their chips & salsas are so good, they had 3 different heats of salsa- and they were outstanding! We also got the happy hour margaritas, which were quite tasty too and served in the cutest little mason jars.... yes, mason jars at a Mexican restaurant... I *loved* it!! I had three different kinds of tacos- carne asada, pollo, and some kind of pork. Sara got the Baja fish tacos...those were weird because it was like they were little frozen fish patties... so strange. I hope this lil place makes it in Wilmington, because it's really cute & quite tasty :) read more

Still my favorite Mexican place around. Has the most flavorful authentic food anywhere near here. I go a few times a month and have never been disappointed. Mexican is my favorite and any other time I try somewhere else I find myself wondering why I didn't just go to Jalepenos read more

King Taco - Lunch Fajita meal - Mexican Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Very good Tacos. Love the atmosphere. And the service is amazing. I especially love their Taco Tuesday.

I'm not from the area but spent the morning nearby at local gardens. Looked up the best rated places in the area and found this little gem. Great service and great food, inexpensive. Started with salsa and chips - spicy, Delicious flavorful salsa. I had the bean tostadas with a side of rice and beans. All fresh and delicious. Under $15 including tax and tip. read more

Nachos were loaded with grilled chicken and steak, al pastor was delicious although I wish it had some pineapple. Also, they made us some fresh delicious iced tea. Great customer service. Definitely will come back for more nachos and tacos. read more

My much anticipated first visit to Jalapeño. Our server was the only person working on the floor had 6 tables, bar patrons and hopefully a pedometer. 5:45 on a Sunday, and one server/tender doesn't make much sense but maybe this was an off Sunday. Started off with the jalapeño queso and chile relleno. Queso was extra thin but had solid flavor, not worth $6 for a cup though. The relleno was super disappointing. It was smothered in a mama Italiana marinara. Seriously, this dish was overwhelmed by the sauce and oregano. Pepper nor cheese had much flavor and due to the sauce party, it was entirely mushy. No bueno! My date ordered the veggie fajitas with a mushroom taco, and for me, the chicken enchiladas. The chicken was super dry, flavorless and served with such a small amount of tomatillo sauce. Asking for more, I was unexpectedly charged. The veggie fajitas were not the typical fajita style. No sizzle when served, the veggies almost looked steamed. Not much flavor, we had to ask for the sour cream, cheese and lettuce. This is a standard, no? The shredded cheese had been sitting out for quite some time as it was rubbery. We both enjoyed the rice though! Fluffy and flavorful, this sadly was the best part of the meal. The mushroom taco (canned mushrooms) were....lets just say....canned mushrooms. Needless to say, our meal left much to be desired. Sorry Jalapeño, although your rice game is strong, we left with bellies full of disappointment. read more

Good tacos! Need something more accurate online for carry out ordering (up to date menu and phone numbers) but really nice people.

Loved it! We went for lunch and we're the only ones there. The salsa is amazing we also got guacamole and two lunches the bill was around $30 which is awesome. The staff was super nice and food abundant and fresh. I would recommend you try it. The parking is street parking but it's worth it ! Very clean cheap cool place to eat best Mexican we have had in de read more

The food is always on point and delicious. I usually get the fried chimichanga. Just had it again sooooo good. The taco are great, and they have a variety, al pastor are my favorite. They even have tripe if that's your thing. The carne asada fries are delicious. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

This is a real authentic Mexican restaurant with some southern Cali Mexican inspired dishes such as, carne asada fries, and cali style potato burritos. The chips and salsa are really good. They brought me out three different salsa with different levels of hotness. I am strictly rating this place on the food. If your looking for the gringo Americanize south of the border restaurant, walk the other way. Its a mom and pop operation and I like the place. read more

If you liked the old Tijuana Taco you need to go to Margarita Grill: Same great food, same owners, same cooks. This is just the same person who owns the building. http://companies.findthecompany.com/l/32965731/Margarita-Grill-in-Wilmington-DE read more

The food was great--- in fact really really good! Service horrible. We had a private party of 20 people and they had 1 server covering all of us. We actually wrote our order down on a piece of paper and have it to the waiter. I think it would be fine with a smaller group. read more

The waitress was very rude... I ordered rice and it tasted like tomato sauce .. the tacos were ok.. ordered a coke and it was flat.. ordered a side of tortillas which were reheated on a dirty grill(they were stained) ... needless to say never coming back.. disgusting food read more

This is great, flavor filled Mexican food. With a little Cali Mex too. We almost go every week. Everything we have has so many notes of flavor. The Tacos, Chile Rellenos, Enchiladas, & Molcajete are so good. The menu covers all the basics. And agreed its not an Americanized Mexican place. Their hot sauce/salsa are so good. The place has been totally made over. Looks great, with a nice Contemp/Mexican feel. Casual. They did a great job. One of the best places in Wilmington. Go try it. Make your mouth happy. read more

This place is great! The workers were very nice and the food was excellent! Would definitely recommend to a friend!

This is hands down my favorite Mexican restaurants in Wilmington. The neighborhood is a little sketchy--but trust me the food is worth it once you're inside. My favorite things from here include the Chimichanga, the carne asada fries (delicious carne asada and cheese over a pile of French fries). The tacos are out of this world--I like the tacos al pastor, carne asada, and the pollo tacos are also really tasty! To top it off their margaritas are so good--not an unnatural lime green color like some other restaurants serve. The only reason I knock a star off is that they were out of limes two separate times I ate here. read more

Seriously. I just google "tacos in Wilmington" & found this place less than 1 mile from my home. So glad I stumbled on this gem. It's the real deal! Got the chicken tacos, mini chicken quesadilla & it was too much for me, but excellent none the less! Can't wait to return & bring friends next time!!! Great service :-) even gave me chips & salsa while I waited! I'll be back! Great job! read more

I go here occasionally for lunch and it is usually not crowded so it's easy to get in and out during the lunch hour. The service is pretty good. The food is usually quite good. The only thing I have had an issue with is the taquitos that come on the sampler appetizer - they have been over fried and way to hard twice. The rest of the items I have sampled have been really great. I will be back again. read more

The service here is terrible due to their lack of staffing. It's really hard to get the attention of the ONE waitress working as a barista/takeout cashier/ waitress/hostess/general cashier. The time my party and I dined in, the waitress came out with our food in to-go boxes/foil. After telling her that we had told her we were going to dine in (3 times to be exact), she insisted we had not conveyed that information, even though we sat in the restaurant and she served us chips and salsa. She never heard us properly because management has her extended way beyond her capacity. The food is mediocre. I had the carne asada burrito before and that was good - as one should come to expect from basically combining ingredients together and wrapping it in a flour tortilla. The order of Baja fish tacos are ok. The fish is battered and fried but it came with too much American shredded cheese, that masked the taste of the fish. The time I ordered the fish ceviche was overall a great disappointment, and the deciding factor to not return to this place. The ceviche was combined with cucumber and onions but came in a sweet tomato paste, maybe ketchup sauce. To those who have had Peruvian ceviche or Mexican ceviche you expect the protein to be cured in sour lime juice and salt, NOT doused in sweet ketchup. Anyone familiar with Mexican seafood would be able to guess that what they served me was a fish Coctel instead of Ceviche. After asking what this was, the waitress told me this was the manner the restaurant prepared Ceviche. If this is true, their menu should reflect this method of preparation (which it doesn't), not have the patron second guess how the restaurant prepares all their dishes. When I asked for my refund, the waitress told me I had to speak with the manager (who was not present in the restaurant). The waitress provided me a business card with a number and I called twice while I was sitting down (and once while in front of the waitress) but all the calls went directly to voicemail. There was no point in discussing my order further with the waitress, since her mind was clearly on the other orders she was juggling and was clearly just trying to reflect my issue onto someone else, so we left to another restaurant. Final thoughts: If you want easy, simple food and are leisurely strolling through your day, this will do. If you want to enjoy authentic Mexican food or just Mexican food with proper service, choose another restaurant. read more

I go here often. It's my favorite place to get Mexican food in Wilmington. I recommend their tacos al pastor.

Delicious tacos! The most tasty meat in a taco I have tasted. If you like it spicy, as for the red spicy sauce. It's delicious!

Best Mexican in Wilmington. And you can actually get spicy food here! Also great service!!!

Mexican restaurant with an authentic feel. The fish tacos are delicious! Also love the chips and salsa that they serve while you wait for the food.
