If you’re in the mood for Mexican food, you’re in luck. Wilmington, DE is home to some of the tastiest and most flavorful cuisine around; however, with so many options, it can be difficult to decide where to start. We’ve narrowed it down to our top three picks, so read on to discover the places with the best Mexican food in the area.

1. El Diablo

El Diablo has the locals swooning over their burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and other incredible meals that are all made from scratch with only the freshest ingredients. Start off with an order of chips and homemade guacamole; alternatively, if queso is more of your thing, the Diablo queso packs a delicious punch. Pair the house pico de gallo with a quesadilla, and be sure to ask for the roasted mushrooms cooked inside.

All burritos, tacos, and bowls come with your choice of meat such as grilled chicken, braised short ribs, citrus braised pork, lime grilled steak, and citrus seared mahi. Additionally, you can customize your meal with various fillings including cheddar cheese, goat cheese, pickled peppers, shredded kale, roasted corn salsa, and pineapple habanero salsa. End on a sweet note with a chewy horchata cookie!

2. La Tolteca Mexican Restaurant

La Tolteca Mexican Restaurant serves authentic, flavorful, and delicious cuisine. Stop by during brunch for tasty treats such as the Buenos Dias torta with scrambled eggs, avocado slices, and strips of bacon. If you prefer to visit over dinner, start your meal with an appetizer such as the tostadas with cabbage and pico de gallo or the shrimp ceviche with jalapeños, cilantro, and fresh avocado.

If you enjoy nachos, we know that you’ll love the fajita nachos covered in grilled red peppers, green peppers, onions, zucchini, mushrooms, tomatoes, and cheese. If tacos are more of your thing, we think that you’ll enjoy the Cuatro Amigos dish featuring four tacos with steak, chicken, carnitas, and chorizo. Don’t forget to order a churro cup topped with strawberries, vanilla ice cream, and cinnamon sugar for dessert!

3. El Camino Mexican Kitchen

El Camino Mexican Kitchen specializes in delicious meals, friendly service, and a wide menu. Begin with an order of the Mexican meatballs with cotija cheese, the chili sabroso with ground beef and black beans, or the street corn topped with chipotle mayo. Alternatively, share the market quesadilla packed with red peppers, squash, and queso among the table.
All enchiladas come with rice and beans on the side, and our top suggestion is the sixteen spice chicken enchilada plate with salsa roja. Tacos are also a delicious choice, and we particularly enjoy both the mushroom tacos with pickled chilis and the crispy shrimp tacos with cabbage slaw. Treat yourself to an order of churros served with raspberry puree for dessert!

A trip to any of these Mexican restaurants is sure to delight. After you’ve savored every bite, head over to Lexus of Wilmington for quality services, expert opinions, and the best vehicle for you!
