    Some of your extras to go in your meals
    Lilia V.

    We have been here a couple of times and it never disappoints. The servers are always friendly, service is fast and the portions are big. We came on a Tuesday afternoon and sat right away. We ordered the carne asada, tripe soup and the torta planchada with carne asada. Of course everything was full of flavor and delicious. We had some leftovers to take home. I also learned that Wednesdays if you drive a Jeep you get a 15% discount! Another reason to come back!

    HUEVOS CON CHORIZO
    Sandra H.

    The sign outside said "best breakfast in Wilmington" and they were not wrong! Inside has a fresh, cafe feel. Service from the hostess stand to the wait staff was terrific. They offer fresh squeezed OJ and the coffee is very good. We had the Sunrise burrito...stuffed full of carne, chorizo, beans, etc and topped with fresh avocado, melted cheese and cojita. It was amazing. The French toast had hints of real vanilla and was flavored so well. The ranchero omelette was tasty and their hot salsa is a must. From the owners of El Cerro Grande, they have now perfected breakfast. El desayuno fue perfecto, ¡gracias!

    OMELETTE RANCHERO
    Alexis P.

    Love the vibe and decor here. Friendly staff here. It gets pretty busy here but managed to get a seat outdoors. We came here for Sunday brunch. I ordered a class mimosa (not pictured) and I believe made with freshly squeezed oj. Pictured is a michelada. Please keep in mind that this drink is huge! To eat, I ordered the omelette ranchero. Packed with bell peppers, steak and cheese. Served with a side of avo and breakfast potatoes. This was so so good! You can ask for hot sauce. Was expecting cholula or store bought. Nope, authentic hot sauce. Very spicy. A great breakfast spot I highly recommend.

    Went mid morning. Had the chilaquiles along with a side of bacon. Bacon tasted like it was a day old. Not crispy. But burnt and chewy. The chilaquiles had too much sauce but still delicious. The restaurant itself is clean. Bright. Cute. The drink menu looks good. But I didn't have drinks. Service was good. Server was attentive. Food arrived quickly. Overall it was meh. The bacon killed it for me.

    Early Rise burrito

    Outstanding !! Authentic Hispanic food that taste delicious with a fun atmosphere and terrific service . Not feeling a burrito, they have pancakes, French toast, and omelettes. You need to try!

    B.Y.O OMELETTE with bell peppers, queso fresco, chorizo, and tomato
    Dave C.

    This place absolutely rocks. I had a byo omelette with chorizo, peppers, queso fresco, and tomato. The refried beans are heavenly as is the chorizo. Their house made hot sauce is perfectly balanced. We also got a pancake for the table and it was just right. And the servers are great as well. Thoughtful, attentive, and friendly.

    Fruity pebbles pancake special

    What a great spot for brunch! Stopped by with a few friends and had a great experience. The food was excellent and the staff was super friendly. On this visit we tried their chilaquiles and their pancake special (with fruity pebbles). Both items were good but the chilaquiles were the standout for us! The chips were crispy and the salsa was super flavorful but not too spicy (although they will give a homemade hot sauce if you want to kick things up). The pancakes were huge and super fluffy. I'd consider trying their tree leches pancakes next time but their breakfast burritos are very enticing and I think it would be hard to pass up another savory dish. The Michelada (iykyk) was enormous and apparently their mimosas have half a bottle of champagne according to my friends - so a fun spot if you're looking to enjoy that kinda brunch vibe too. Overall excited to have this in the neighborhood and was glad to see they were busy!

    Buen Dia is a traditional Mexican breakfast restaurant that brings authentic Mexican food and…read moreculture to the east coast of North Carolina out of its two locations, Wilmington and Castle Hayne. 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

Our son has named the Wagyu Burger as one of the best he has ever had - in his top three burgers of all time. I am GF (not Celiac - so it was ok to have items in shared fryer) and DF - there was so much for me to have but I landed on the Cauliflower Tacos - so, so, so good! All of the flavors were delicious - I need to figure out how to do - because we live in DE and won't be able to come back until next year - but we will! Britney's suggestions for the Pork Shank and the Octopus were right on as well. Can't say enough about how amazing that meal was. Finally a note about the team as a whole: it was obvious that Britney had most of the tables, but every person on tonight pulled together and worked as a team to make sure the food got out hot and on time and no one was sitting too long at any point in their meal! Of note - make a reservation!! We should have - not because it took long to be seated, it didn't. But we know better, reservations help restaurants know how to staff and otherwise prepare. We promise to make a reservation next time - because there will definitely be a next time. Our crew has even already decided what they will order next time! THANK YOU for a phenomenal experience!!

First and foremost our server Bella was fantastic, she was so personable and ran through the menu with us even offering suggestions. The restaurant itself is very cool, it's definitely more upscale Mexican and the food more than met that standard. I had the 4 enchilada plate, they are stuffed with delicious chicken and at Bella's recommendation I did 2 with their homemade mole and 2 with the homemade queso, both were excellent. 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.

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 .
