    4 Tacos Tradicionales (1), 2 chicken tacos, 2 steak tacos

    The food here is so yummy! The service is very good, they're polite and kind and understanding! The tacos are very authentic and the wait times are not bad!

    Steak Enchiladas
    Ethan H.

    Traditional Mexican food that is excellent and never disappoints. Service is always fast and on point. Ambiance is casual traditional Mexican. This is family owned and run business. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food this is the real deal.

    This place is a hidden gem. I've only gotten take away from here, but when I crave an authentic steak taco, this is the place I go to. Their enchiladas are also delicious. They have great customer service too.

    Little restaurant

    Pretty good. It's a small family owned business that prepares traditional dishes. The service was great & food was tasty & satisfying. We ordered a carne asada huarache & 3 tostadas.

    Tacos: 1 chorizo, 1 chicken, and 1 Al pastor

    Small restaurant probably only 8 tables. The food is really good I got 3 tacos (chorizo, chicken, and Al pastor). Very authentic, staff was so nice and helped and the service was quick.

    This little hole in the wall is just a few minutes from my house, and consistently delicious every time I order takeout. Their food is incredibly authentic (which is impossible to find in Wilmington), cheap, and fast. The lady at the checkout counter is always wonderful and friendly. Give it a try!

    I've eaten at all the other Mexican food places in Wilmington. This place is so great. I ordered four different kinds of tacos and the taquitos. I ordered carnitas, lengua, beef neck, and barbacoa. Everything from the tortilla to the meat to the toppings was great. I just about gabe up on Mexican in this town, but this is the only place for me now. You should eat here also.

    Service is so good here but the food is trash. Greasy food. Horchata is pre mixed. So nasty and overpriced.

The staff is friendly and the place is very lively. It seems to be a little quieter at lunchtime, no waiting for a table at this time. They also have outside seating. We ordered the birria sandwich, think amped up grilled cheese with very tender meat. It comes with the dipping sauce and a side of ultra crispy French fries. Next up is the enchiladas verdes with steak. This dish comes with refried beans and rice. So, so good. Food is not greasy at all. The verde sauce is delicious and not at all spicy. Really tasty. We always want to try dessert, but we were in the middle of our workday, so we passed this time. Their breakfast here is outstanding, go for something authentic, rather than your typical "American " breakfast items. You won't be disappointed with any choice here. We have loved everything so far.

The restaurant is especially known locally for its authentic Mexican breakfast dishes, birria, and chilaquiles. I gave it a try with some coworkers for the first time in the Wilmington location, a it was fantastic. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I tried the Dovorciados eggs (two sunny side up eggs on top of a crispy corn tortilla with red and green salsa, separated by refried beans, and queso fresco.) with the Cafe de Olla. Everything was delicious. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere felt cozy and authentic. Easily one of the best breakfast and lunch spots in Wilmington. I'll definitely be back!

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

I recommend starting off with the pork belly quac, and a spicy margarita with tajin on the rim I had the Machu Picchu roll(corvina, citrus tiger milk, mango confetti, and more) and I swear was one of the most beautifully creative flavor packed dishes I have ever had in this town.

My wife had the cauliflower dish and really enjoyed it, it's not something she gets every day and the flavor really popped, great vegetarian options at Vochas. We had the Maracuyá Tres Leches Cake for dessert and it was next level tasty. Next time we come visit we'll definitely drop by again for an outstanding meal.
