Las Delicias provides severely mediocre Mexican food. It is not bad food, but I have had far better Mexican in Memphis (Guadalapana for instance). I have been to Las Delicias 3 times and each time my service has been so awful, it leaves me questioning why I come back. Then I remember that they have very good chips and decent food so I find myself returning occasionally. read more

Had an excellent dinner here the other night. They made the local's list on www.memphislikealocal.com here's the review http://www.memphislikealocal.com/2014/08/las-delicias.html?m=1 read more

The best thing I can say about Las Delicias? It's not tex-mex. Don't get me wrong, I love some good Tex-Mex as well, but sometimes a more authentic, traditional style of mexican food is in order. Las Delicias lives up to its name serving up wonderful tacos and tortas. The guacamole dip is superb, chunky, and great with their traditional style tortilla chips. I've never had a bad meal here, and I will be back. My only complaint? They need a location out in the suburbs! read more

Great food, cheap prices. Chips are amazing and so is the guacamole. To get an idea of how great the prices are you can get fajitas for 7.50. read more

The BEST chicken cascade!!! I am not a big fan of Mexican food, but this place is a diamond in the restaurant world. Management is wonderful and most of the staff wants to help. And if you get a margarita make sure you're not driving they are Courageous! read more

This is my first time here. WOW... I have been really missing out! Like everyone said, the chip are very good. Also you got to have the All In One Fajitas...I could not stop eating it. Nicki was amazing, always keeping my glass full and very accommodating. I well be back! read more

The second store in Memphis; the first is on South Mendenhall just past Winchester. This is truly the best Mex in the city. The menu is not large, however, everything is tasty and home made. The chips are from the tortilla shop ( also owned by this family) located next to the original location, which means they are fresh. No other chips can compare. Guacamole, enchiladas, charro beans, tacos, tamales and the todo en uno..... which is fajita meat with a basket of tortillas, are all wonderful. The margaritas are available on the rocks and they are super! I wish they would run specials; posole, ceviche, carne asada, carnitas etc; the kitchen is so talented they could pull it off easily. But, why mess with perfection? read more

Delicious food and we had the best server. Her name is Joanna....ask for her section. You won't be disappointed.

if you're looking for delicious and authentic enough Mexican food, this is the place. I always get this to go, because it is always packed. Ordering to go is easy. I love this place. It has the best guacamole in Memphis. read more

I ate here yesterday for lunch. I was fairly impressed with their food. I had their milaneza torta, a pork tamale, and a cheese quesadilla. First let me say that the price of all their offerings is amazingly affordable. Their tamale alone was the size of a hot dog and was only $1.50. Very good price point. It was a very good tamale as well and reminded me of the tamales I have purchased from street vendors in Mexico or bakeries in southern California. Very good quality and very well made. The quesadilla was also a value in my opinion. The tort was a little different than what I have had in the past and was somewhat flavorless, but it wasstill enjoyable. Each of these items was served a la carte. I would say that the only improvement would have been if they had added some additional flavors to the a la carte items, for example adding some sour cream or additional sauce to the quesadilla for example. I believe you can get this but it will cost extra. Finally they do give you chips and dip, both of which are beyond any other restaurant in Memphis. Their chips are almost like fried wontons in flavor and texture, and they go very well withthe dip. The service is excellent. Our waiter was extremely quick and they checked up on us at exactly the right times. They all seemed very friendly and attentive despite the full capacity of the restaurant at the time of our visit. The decor of the restaurant is pleasant, nothing too fancy. The chairs are somewhat similar to what you would find in a Chinese restaurant. It is acceptable and does not detract from the experience. I would definitely visit this restaurant again and bring visitors here. read more

They know my order before I order it and that I like my onions grilled. Best totilla soup and guacamole in Memphis.

We have been going here for awhile. There are a couple new waitresses, so maybe that's why the reviews below are a little different, but I still secretly love this place. If you have never tried the chorizo quesadilla with avocado added, then you haven't lived! if you go, please promise me that you will try this! You're welcome in advance. read more

Horrible! Horrible service, food cold, and expensive. Went here on a recommendation. Salsa was nothing but onion and tomato juice. For a margarita $22.50...and was half orange juice. Ordered fajitas and came out covered in monterey jack cheese on a cold plate. Had no sides. Ordered a side of beans and they were ice cold. Sent them back and came out again with the cheese not even melted. Would NEVER go back! read more

Love this place!!! The guacamole is so good! Definitely try the chorizo and cheese quesadilla!

Very good street style tacos, chicken was fair, but the carne asada and pork were right on. It was the chips that were off the chart... greasy but oh so good! Guacamole was chunky style and great with the chips. read more

Gringa tacos are the best! Guacamole is great! Best mex in town by far. Chips are off the chain!

The salsa is so fresh and delicious! The steak burrito is huge and a great price!

So cheap, SO GOOD. My friend who is obsessed with Mexican food loves Las D's. Between my friends and I we've tried everything, but now I default to queso and a burrito. read more

Oh yea, love me some Las Delicias. The food is so affordable and it hits the spot whenever I'm craving some Mexican or Tex-Mex. Their margaritas BTW are no joke... Pricey? Yes, but they pack a punch. I think my favorite food-thing is the Pastor torta (marinated pork sandwich, try it) but the chorizo is a close 2nd. This place is a great because its reasonably priced for the portions and it beats out most other comparable Mexican restaurants, simple decor and kind of a laid back staff. read more

It's a very sad day for me. My Uncle loved this place as well as the family. Haven't been in a while so decided to go today and didn't even eat. Was sat down quickly but then sat for fifteen minutes and walked by several times with no acknowledgement. I probably won't be back. read more

When I first moved to Memphis, I was worried about finding a Mexican restaurant to replace my beloved Cozumel back home in Pennsylvania. I had been to Las Delicias before during visits to the city, but it wasn't until I moved here that I realized what an amazing little place this is. I work just down the road from the Park Ave. location and would occasionally go for lunch when I was still working on Saturdays and I continue to go for dinner or lunch a few times a month. Their tortilla chips are far and beyond the best I've ever had (and probably the best I ever will have)--they're flaky and lightly salted, with this sort of double-layer thing going on, as if each chip is actually two fused together. The best part is that they're sold on site and at local Kroger stores, so I can enjoy them whenever I want! They're served with a mildly spicy salsa and you can add queso or their chunky, house-made guacamole as an additional dip. Their main dishes are equally mouth-watering--I mostly stick to quesadillas, particularly their chorizo quesadilla (spicy, juicy ground chorizo with melted cheese, served with a side of sour cream and pico), but I've also tried their tacos and enchiladas, and thoroughly enjoyed both; my boyfriend almost always gets a torta (Mexican-style sandwich) and we often order a side of rice to share. Everything tastes fresh and flavorful, and the food (especially the quesadillas) reheats very well, which is great, because I almost always end up with leftovers (I blame the consumption of copious amounts of chips for my inability to ever finish a meal there). The Park Ave. location isn't the prettiest, but I've never had to wait for a table, even though it's almost always busy in there (there's definitely a loyal lunch crowd and weekend evening crowd), and the service is always pretty good. Parking can be hard to find when it's busy, but I've never had to park too far away. If you're looking for fresh, delicious Mexican food, definitely try Las Delicias. I miss my old Mexican place back home, but Las Delicias has definitely filled those shoes and become my go-to, regular stop for tasty tacos, crispy tortilla chips, and more. read more

Fresh Squeezed Lime Margaritas are the best. The Guacamole is made at your table. Everything on our table was awesome!! Great Service and Great prices...Area is near old VA Hospital at Park and Getwell read more

Lackluster service (simple inattentiveness). When I did get the food, it was pretty good. If they can bolster their efforts in customer service, I'd happily increase their rating. read more

Bad News. I guess that's what I get for eating Mexican food in Memphis. No clue how this place has such good reviews other than to chalk it up to there's not a lot of Mexican in Memphis so they don't know what they're missing out on. The cheese in my quesadilla wasn't melted and one side of it was totally soggy. I also got two tacos, chicken and pastor, both very mediocre with very little meat. The chips were good, but salsa was very mild with no spice. read more

Very good chips and salsa, but really good Cuban torta! This place is always packed, and for good reason.

I went last night to place and pick up a to-go order. I got the chicken and steak tacos with an order of guacamole. My husband ordered the pastor and steak tacos with a chicken tamale. The guacamole is my favorite, and they make it fresh for every order along with their awesome chips. My husband liked his pastor taco the best out of his order. It was packed! Literally, every table was full. The waitresses never stopped moving. We sat at the bar to wait for our order, and we were checked in with a couple of times. Also, there were a ton of families with young children there. The reason I gave 4 stars is that our order added up to $15 for a ton of good and fresh food. It is definitely a good value. read more

Went for my first time to Las Delicias on a Friday night, after work. The restaurant was pretty busy but there were still a few open tables. I get the feeling this is a spot that is especially popular with nearby U of M students, current and former. Las Delicias is definitely a good option for a more authentic mexican food experience. As such, the decor and ambiance are nothing to write home about, but it doesn't need to be. You go authentic for the food. The servers were friendly and prompt. The chips and salsa were brought out and I was pleased they were the chips that are fried in house and thus quite crispy and greasy, in the best way. The regular red salsa served with the chips was fine, but maybe not my favorite. I ordered some guacamole and was quite pleased with their spicy, chunky variety of guac. For my main course I went simple: three tacos. I had chorizo, pork chop, and the "gringa". I think my favorite of the three was the pork chop taco. The pork chop and chorizo tacos were served street style and simply, as in each on a couple small flour tortillas with grilled onions and a bit of cilantro. The tacos were also accompanied with bottles of sauce to add. They had both a verde sauce and a red chipotle sauce. Both sauces were fairly spicy, another good indication of an authentic experience. The third taco I had was the "gringa" taco, described as "marinated pork w/ cheese in flour". What the menu failed to mention was that it also, interestingly, had chunks of pineapple on it. So it was pork and pineapple, the sweet and savory combo commonly ordered on pizzas. Unlike the other two tacos, the gringa was served in a larger flour tortilla and slightly grilled to a crisp. Being named the "gringa" taco, I guess this translates to being the "white girl" taco. I guess I can see that... It was tasty but not something I'd order again. I much prefer the regular style tacos. All in all I was pleased with my experience at Las Delicias and will likely go again, if I find myself in this part of town. In the future I may shake it up and try one of their tortas or enchiladas and have a sampling of horchata. read more

This is your standard TexMex restaurant but it's really good. The food is very similar to el portón and that's okay because I think it's slightly cheaper. There is a large variety of food and I rank their food portions 3.5/5. You've got to spend really around $9+ to get full which is not bad. My 3 stars rely on the fact that it is not impressive food. It's good but not great and these restaurants are a dime a dozen. Still, the staff is friendly and the food and atmosphere is great. I would never bring my family or girlfriend here. This is more of a place that I go with a group of 5+ friends from college. You get the idea. read more

Worst service I've ever received at any restaurant. Usually pretty good but should've just turned around and left after we stood and waited to be seated for 5 minutes while multiple employees looked at us and continued to walk past. Bartender came from the bar to seat us. Our waiter walked past our table several times and never once acknowledged us. The lady who brings the chips had to go get him. Probably the last time I come here. Oh well. Otherwise, food was good. Chips, salsa, and guacamole always on point. read more

Terrible service, bland and greasy food and a pathetic attempt at Mexican food. Only reason I am giving them 2 stars was because the restaurant appeared to be clean and the guacamole was okay. You could easily make a better meal at home with any decent cooking skills. read more

If I could give it less I would. This is not Mexican food and it's offensive to us that they call it that. The service was awful and the food was cold. The price is not worth the small portions they serve. Never coming back. read more

Great food and prices! The fajitas are filled with different meats and the tortas all are top notch.

Excellente. Let's see, quick and friendly service and well lit open location (former Chinese restaurant, I think). Guacamole is chunky and fresh... a must. Enchiladas were so-so, but still fresh. Margaritas were worth it and fresh squeezed. Tortilla soup was very very good. Tacos were small and fresh and very good. I may have said fresh 10 times here... got it? read more

I'm new to Memphis but this instantly became my favorite mexican restaurant in Memphis. The chips and salsa were the best I have ever eaten. Also, the margarita was made with real lime juice, not a mix. Also you can get a XX draft for less than $3. I had the steak burrito and was blown away with the flavor that bursted out of this thing. I live less than 50 yards from a Mexican restaurant, however I choose to drive the extra 3 miles to go to Las and I never regret the decision. read more

The Chorizo quesadilla is amazing. Spicy? Yes. Greasy? Yeah...it's chorizo. The chicken quesadilla is great. The off-menu shrimp quesadilla is fantastic. But I never order them for fear that my last quesadilla won't be a Las Delicias chorizo quesadilla. read more

What a great place! The menu has something for every taste. The servers were friendly and fast. The chips are made there and you CAN taste the difference. It's often crowded, but that's a good thing! The food is delicious! Funny. The fresh chips and salsa and queso are so tempting that you have to pace yourself. The portions are generous and the price is just right. Si quieres practicar tu español allí, hay mucha gente con quien puedes charlar. read more

By far best mex restaurant. FRESH!!! Guacamole is delicious and the veggie burrito (add mushrooms) is AMAZING! - happy customer! Oh and service is very friendly as well. Full bar if you want to drink. read more

I am going to keep this short and sweet, even though I could write a 200 page love letter about this place easily. This is one of the best Mexican places in Memphis, and definitely the best in east Memphis. read more

Best Mexican food in town. This IS as good as it gets! And great, great margaritas. Swanky's, El Porton, Happy Mexican, etc. ain't got nothin' on this place. read more

Spent the last few years in San Diego and this place has the best guacamole. Highly recommend
