I enjoyed the lengua tacos. I did not care for the menudo and threw all of it away after a few bites. I never threw away food I ordered until I tasted that menudo. It was very bare except for a little meat & tripe and a lot of broth & fatty pieces. I would suggest avoiding the menudo and recommend the tacos. The ambiance was simple, clean, and well decorated. Even though it was one of the few places in the area with good lengua tacos, I don't know if I would visit this place again.

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!

Wilmington' s best authentic Mexican breakfast can always be found at Buen Dia & is an absolute…read moremust visit. 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.

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.
