Tried a few of the Dayton Mexican restaurants and this one tops them all. Had lunch and it was outstanding. Chips and salsa are very good and quite possibly the best. Old style home made chips and great tasting salsa. The wait staff was excellent. This is a great location with a lot of seating. Lot was full of cars but they still have plenty of seating. read more

Decided to try something new today. My daughter had the tamales and said they were amazing. I had the taquitos and they were so so good!! Our server was absolutely precious. She has become our favorite. The one thing I love about Delia's is that it's huge. I have never seen them on a wait even when the parking lot is packed. The atmosphere is always friendly, helpful and service with a smile. read more

Super nice staff with a very clean inside but the best part is definitely the amazing food with fresh baked chips served to you.

Very good classic "Mexican food". The employees are always cordial and quick. Their prices are very good. The margaritas are yummy too!

Fresh chips made in house daily. Delia's chicken tacos are the way to go. Make sure to specify if you want cheese, lettuce and tomatoes or cilantro, onions and lime. They have been continuing to grow over the years and have multiple locations in the Chattanooga area including Dayton, Soddy Daisy, and Athens. Hope this review is helpful for others. Yelp seems to be the most honest reviews I can find over the last 15 years. - Bonnie Yoder read more

Paid 13$ for 2 tacos, was just wanting a light lunch while working. Quality was not special either, to put it kindly. 0 seasoning. Worst Mexican food experience I've ever had. Also I was charged 3$ for a sprinkle of cilantro on my tacos. read more

Food was great just like the service, definitely the best Mexican food in Dayton! Rudy was our server and did a great job very attentive! Definitely coming back! read more

Delia's Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Dayton, Tennessee

Real solid rural East Tennessee Mexican restaurant and easy to find on US 27; A bit north of Dayton with plenty of parking. Chips and salsa are better than most southern places. Service is quick and attentive. Food comes out promptly. Drinks are kept filled. Yeah all of that is basic but it is amazing how many places get the basics wrong. The entrees we had were fresh and tasty--not real spicy. I would like a bit more heat but I imagine the cooks have learned their patrons' taste buds. I recommend the polo loco--the chicken breast is cut in half and then quickly pan fried--leaving it juicy and tender not dry and tough. My negative was the refried beans, too bland almost tasteless. Tortillas were strong--liked them a lot. Nothing flamboyant on either the exterior or interior design, yet the place is comfortable. More importantly in these pandemic times, staff were wearing face coverings and plenty of hand sanitizer in easy reach. It was clean and felt safe. read more

Our waiter, he was attentive and on top of everything. The food was also very good. Tacos, tamales and the chips and salsa. We will be back!

The food was delicious! The chips tasted like homemade. Very clean!our server was delightful!

Just had a lunch at Delia's and I have to say I was impressed. The food was as authentic as possible, service was on point, and prices were VERY reasonable. If you ever have a chance to, give this restaurant a try! read more

Great place to eat! The food was amazing! It didn't take long at all for it to be served after ordering. The waiter we had was very friendly, and attentive. The restaurant itself is bright inside, lots of things to really look at and enjoy. The prices are great, not expensive at all! Overall it's a great restaurant and we will be back. read more

The chips and salsa is always my favorite part about going. Great waiters and waitresses also!

Wasn't impressed by anything. Service and food were mediocre at best. Can't understand why it's so busy other than people have a poor taste when it comes to Mexican food. read more

Good spot in Dayton. Huge resturant on the main drag that I am sure gets lots of traffic. Good food w/good service.

Great prices and wonderful food ! They start you off with a free basket of chips and salsa that keeps you satisfied until your meal arrives. So many wonderful authentic choices , your mouth will water as you read the menu. The chicken tacos are flavorful and fresh! I've eaten here many times and I've never been disappointed. Pretty much have eaten everything on the menu. Their Monday to Thursday lunch specials are hard to beat. And this location serves beer and other adult beverages. Nice service, good parking and clean, clean clean! read more

Good Mexican food in a small town. Employees are friendly and accommodating to orders.

Flautas are the best!!!! We eat here quite often. When my nephew is in we always try to come and eat here or at the very least order to go. FLAUTAS ALL AROUND!!!! read more

I'm sorry Tennessee, but dang y'all must not know how to spice things up! No flavor what so ever, it was the blandest Mexican food I've ever had, that's what I'm noticing with other restaurants here in TN. I'm from South Ms./Louisiana and we are used to having flavor baby! Besides all that if you're a couple, be prepared to wait a while for your food, we noticed big group tables come in after us and get there food before us. One last thing, I have never heard of a Mexican restaurant serve white rice instead of Mexican rice, but this one did. SMH! Must be catering too the mountain people taste. Flour tortillas, white rice, and watered down sour cream. Not authentic Mexican food, zero spice, heat, or flavor of any kind! read more

Several great options to choose from. Try their corn tortillas. Really good chips and salsa. The service was quick, and the pricing was fair. I don't know for sure, but the food taste homemade/ made from scratch. If your craving Mexican food in Dayton, Delia's is the best overall. read more

Real authentic mexican food! The service is just as great if not better! Their queso is the best it goes with almost anything all plates have really good portions as well read more

This was our first meal out since the pandemic started, so maybe we were a little excited, but we enjoyed our meal at Delia's! We are new to the area, so we just stumbled upon it and went in. They've taken the appropriate measures to "social distance" and to be sensitive to being sanitary. The service was very prompt and friendly, beginning with a basket of warm, homemade chips, and a pretty tasty salsa. We were a little disappointed to learn that they do not have liquor, but we opted for draft beers which were served in very cold, frosty mugs. We ordered queso to go with our chips at the same time we ordered beer. It was good, but a little runny. I ordered the Pollo Loco, with a side of guacamole,and the hubs ordered a combo with a taco, an enchilada and a tostada. Our food came very quickly. Everything was hot and very tasty. My chicken breast was juicy, and the rice and guac were both good (I'm not a fan of retried beans). They also provided what appeared to be homemade corn tortillas, which were very good. My husband really enjoyed all of his food as well. I would not say this is the best Mexican I've ever had, but for small town Tennessee place, it was solid! read more

Passing through town and stop for dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Meat is seasoned well, chips are home made and fresh and cheese dip is amazing. read more

My absolute favorite place to eat in town! Very fresh and authentic. Not many places are this fresh! Highly recommend the medium wings!! read more

OMG!! In Dayton we have a plethora of Mexican restaurants, yet Delia's stands out among them all. You can get "american-mexican" at most of the others, but D's continually proves their worth. I have never eaten inside their restaurant, but I feel like the take-out experience is more authentic and the best way to judge a kitchen. This takes away the ability to sway your opinion with table and customer service. The food is phenomenal, even when eating it 30-60 minutes after prep. I constantly recommend this to truck drivers I work with on a daily level and have consistently received the greatest responses to a narrow demographic that has very little lee-way in bathroom activity!! read more

I do believe my tamale and enchilada were frozen, then heated in the microwave. Probably the worst Mexican food I have ever had.

This place is fantastic! The cleanest restaurant I've ever been too. The food was delicious and service was incredible! Highly recommend coming here! read more

The food is really good. I love being able to call in an order and pick it up.. great service

Used to be one of our favorite restaurants. We have spent a lot of money here in the past and prior to the last few months everything was great . Starting around March , the service declined , so we opted for take out . The last few times our order has not been correct , but we did not feel like taking it back or complaining . Today we ordered wings . Our ticket was around $50 . When I got home and opened boxes I immediately called the restaurant . There were random pieces of fried skin , bones with no meat on them , bones with half the meat on them and most sizing a little bigger than a quarter . I'm not sure if they were someone's left overs or if they were the bottom of the bag or if they were even real chicken or not. I spoke with a girl and she was really kind about the situation but told me she had spoken to the manager and there was nothing she could do , that is just how the company keeps sending them. I stated that I understand a company sending a bad product but you don't sell that bad product to a customer . I was then told that the manager could call me ,but he wouldn't be available until noon or later tomorrow . I was told that Marcus ( the manager) said that I could have a discount next time I came in to purchase more food . That was the resolution? I have to spend more money after already getting ripped off , for you to fix your mistake ? Gtfooh . My question now is , you didn't give me the food I purchased today , but someone leftover scraps ....if I come back to your establishment and spend more money you're going to give me a discount? So not only do you not provide a solution to my issue but you tell me you will give me a discount assuming I want to return to this restaurant? What about my issue of having nothing to eat after I've given you money? Dishonest business . Trash management and terrible customer service. Photos included . I placed a quarter for reference . In my opinion this place is nothing but basic theft . Placing a complaint with BBB. read more

If you want good Mexican food, this is the place for it! I eat here pretty often with friends or with my children. They have a pretty large menu option. Anything you order will be of good quality! The only down fall is they do not have a good selection of alcoholic beverages. They have the normal domestic beers. However, the food is worth the visit. read more

Rockin food!!! Guacamole is amazing! And I would put their chorizo on anything! Seriously some if the best Mexican food I have had and such a cool little place. Definitely worth stopping. Don't let the crazy horse statue and weird color fool you, this place is the bomb!! read more

I'd say 4 or 5!!! Why? It's delicious. Prompt, polite service. Tasty; not that horribly bland (fake) Mex in a strip mall that is overpriced and under seasoned. I'd take this no frills joint to get my legit craving satisfied, and this place was ...an oasis! Amended***They just moved across the street in a bigger and better location: much more fabulous than the aforementioned humble abode. To continue... Fresh chips and fresh salsa, check. Good beans on my tostada, check. Chicken taco... Not bad! Love the crema and avacado on my tostada aswell. Best of all , get my *real cane sugar*Mexican Coke ,in the bottle...Not that HFCS crap that's at every store, every restaurant, everywhere! Thank you Delia's!!! Side Note.: I've traveled to Mexico many, many times- muchos tiempos, Panama, Columbia, y tambien vive en Los Angeles para mas que dies anos... I like myself some Latin flavor~ read more

We are in town fishing at Lake Chickamauga & decided to eat somewhere other than the Huddle House. This town has tons of Mexican restaurants so we went to the one that had the most cars in the parking lot assuming food must be good. Food was not so great. My quesadilla was pretty good but the burrito my husband got was awful. I gave him part of my food because he couldn't eat his. I would pass on this joint in the future. read more
