Grabbed a quick lunch here. Friendly & fast service, inside decorated so cute. We ordered the bang band shrimp tacos (highly recommend), the chorizo tacos and an order of hush puppies. Everything tasted amazing!

Shrimp Nachos, Cantina Blend and Birria all of these are not photographed as I was too busy enjoying them and forgot!!

Taco baby is an amazing find... It's old-school restaurant with beautifully laid out tacos and drinks that will blow your socks off... The artwork is fun and gives it an welcoming ambience, a bit of freedom, and diversity. You're gonna have to try the Jell-O shots and the nachos with shrimp... But everything on the menu is tasty and believe me there's stuff I haven't tried yet. That looks amazing.

Google "restaurants near us" and Taco Baby came up and I'm happy we decided to dine there. It was self-seating and the menu had a nice amount of food options. The decor was super cute and the vibe was very chill. I got the "bang bang shrimp" and my daughter got the Birria tacos along with shrimp nachos and babbyyyy everything was delicious! The customer service was very pleasant and the prices were very affordable! When in Wilmington again, we will dine there again!

Birria taco w/ side of rice
Bryan T.

this rare 5 star review deserves it. We are visiting Wilmington on our honeymoon and we were recommended this place by the kitchen managers partner who worked at a different bar In the area. Man, this place is phenomenal, By far the best tacos I've ever had in my entire life. Chefs kiss. 10/10 recommend

View from upstairs

The best part about my horrible stay at the hotel across the street was walking into this spot. I was seated quickly and chose to sit upstairs. This spot has the coolest vibe. But if you're close-minded, don't come in. There's LOVE for ALL everywhere in this establishment. I had already looked at the menu prior to coming in (that's how I roll) so I knew what I wanted. I started with the Mexican corn and a top shelf margarita. I asked Storm (the best server ever) to make it a double and she said she couldn't because she tops it off well. And boy/girl/human, did she! It was amazing. The Mexican street corn was the perfect beginning to a great dining experience. Be warned. It's not off the cob like you might see online if that makes a difference. I had the bang bang shrimp as a bowl. Instead of rice, Storm let me have double black beans. When I tell you that dish had the biggest burst of flavor, I think it's an understatement. I came in starving and left satisfied...and maybe a tad tipsy. If you're in Wilmington and downtown, check this spot out. You will not be disappointed. I may come back tomorrow for nachos.

Carne asada tacos
Emily J.

I LOVE Tacobaby! It is such a special treat to enjoy their food. I love the shrimp nachos so much- they are HUGE and super super tasty! I brought a friend with me who ordered carne asada tacos. She loved them too and loved my shrimp nachos. I really enjoy sitting upstairs- it's never super crowded, and it's fun to see everyone coming in and out of the restaurant. The service is always really good- you order at the counter downstairs and then your food is brought to you, so you just get to relax and anticipate the amazing food coming your way!

Pollo tacos, birria tacos, and tequila sunrise

The best tacos I've ever had in my life! The servers were kind and the cooks were quick!

Pollo taco
Joe P.

This is my first review of a taco joint not in California or Texas in a long time and this place didn't disappoint! The first pleasant surprise was the crispy taco shell. I was so in my thoughts about the 2 tacos I wanted (pollo or chorizo mix) that I missed that detail. I will keep missing it then because the shell was warm and had that wonderful not too crisp that the good stuff inside spills out. I forgot to ask about the pink sauce because I'm sure one would ask "Is that Pepto bismal?" Rest assured it was not! The pollo and toppings had good flavor and the sauces+pink sauce did their job, complementing everything in the shell. Chorizo is next! I had the mango beer to wash it all down. Yes I may have a mango obsession.

Cute little taco place. Delicious hush puppies! Street corn was mehhhhhhhhhh bc of the sogginess. My tacos were okay too I feel like they forgot some sauce or what. Just tested super bland. Service was great. Hard to find seats. Overall an okay experience.

What a cool place, there was some sort of show going on in town and the place was packed but they were able to get us in at the bar almost immediately. First question the guy asked you dont need this done before the show starts do you? the look of calm that came across his face when we said no, was almost funny. So if your coming here before a show stop and use some common sense and get there early. lol The wife and I went light and we had a couple of drinks and shared some pretty delicious nachos. It get 5 stars just because, it was really good nachos and drinks, and the ambiance is just so cool.

11/4 I don't know how I forgot to post about this in November because it was the most memorable food I had on my entire trip to Wilmington! The menu isn't large but everything we tried was delicious. We started with the Shrimp Nachos which came with queso , pico de gallo, sour cream, chipotle aioli , cowboy candy and guacamole. I was surprised when it came out that the shrimp were fried, it was different but delicious nonetheless. && cowboy candy is pickled jalapeño. I ordered the Fiesta Pollo Tacos on flour tortillas (it's comes with two). They were really good! The pink sauce made them stand out. I finished both and would've ordered more if I wasn't saving room for dessert at Kilwins. Hubby ordered their Birria tacos. He said they were good but didn't finish his tacos. We wanted to sit inside because it was a little cool. There is bar seating and a few high top tables downstairs but because we had a little one with us we ended up sitting upstairs. There are about 6 tables upstairs but the space is quite small.

Street corn

I cannot recommend this place enough. The service was great, friendly and helpful. The food was exceptional. I had the street corn and it did not disappoint. The grouper tacos were delicious. I will be back the next time I am in Wilmington.

Veggies nachos
Priyanka B.

These nachos were AMAZING!!! If I were to go back I would order this just this for myself. We ordered it as an appetizer to share and each got some tacos as well. They were very well balanced and the toppings were spread out to the point where all chips had something on them! Two of us were vegetarian and our options were very limited we unfortunately were not able to eat the sweet potato tacos because they changed the menu. The tacos were mediocre but these nachos were really phenomenal. The waitress was very kind to help accommodate our diets. The restaurant has a lot of unique and memorable decor.

Bang Bang Shrimp

See all

I'm vegan and the cauliflower dish was paradise. Perfect for takeaway - I was staying at the hotel opposite.
