Wow wow wow! I can't say enough good things about this place. I've found one of my top favorite restaurants in Wilmington. This place gives Miami feels. The ambience has this electric tropic feel, playing a variety of old and new Latin tunes, with lowkey lighting but not so low you can't see anything. The food it's packed full of flavor and the margs are on point! I recommend starting off with the pork belly quac, and a spicy margarita with tajin on the rim I had the Machu Picchu roll(corvina, citrus tiger milk, mango confetti, and more) and I swear was one of the most beautifully creative flavor packed dishes I have ever had in this town. Look, if you are wanting a quick getaway to another culinary world and are tired of the same ol wings, pizza , and beer come check out this spot. Oh! And to top it all off the service was stellar! Also, the restrooms are super clean and well stocked! read more

Absolutely fantastic, top to bottom. Wife and I dropped in for dinner while visiting family in North Carolina and boy was it a great decision. 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. read more

Great atmosphere, amazing service by our waiter, Juan. Food was excellent...not your traditional Mexican. Eclectic menu of Mexican fusion. Everything we ate was delicious! Will definitely come back as we need to try more of the menu! read more

Flavor flavor flavor!! Here you will find the most diverse ingredients and range of textures, authenticity, spice omg! Our service was fast, the decor was beautiful, but the food is what set the bar. Crazy menu but literally no other place is making food like this. Can't wait to come back and try every dish. I wish I could eat that meal 100 times over. Chef made a special side of extra spicy pico de gallo that needs to be on the menu. Mouth watering, plate licking GOOD!! read more

Was very excited to try this place and was even more happy to hear that they could easily take on our group of 15. The service was great and the food was delicious. I struggled figuring out what I wanted to eat as there were a lot of great options but I finally decided to go with the sushi which had such a different and great flavor. I also had a sangria and it was the best glass I have had in the states (second to sangria I have had in Barcelona). Great flavors, great atmosphere- highly recommend. read more

Everything was good! The margarita was one of the best I've had in this area - so good that I had 2! The owner was visible and came over to say hi. Service was phenomenal. What surprised me though, was how nice it is inside! There are no remnants of it ever being a Ruby Tuesday's! It's big, yet intimate. They did a great job! The bar is beautiful. read more

We were in town for a wedding and made a same-day reservation online. Walked right in and were seated immediately. The vibe is chic, colorful, and upbeat--perfect whether you're dressed up or keeping it casual. It's also kid-friendly, which is a plus. Our server, Bella, was fantastic--patient, knowledgeable, and attentive. The bartender was clearly skilled; my drink was perfectly balanced. I also loved that we each received our own cocktail menu (sharing menus is such a pet peeve of mine!). My husband ordered the Vochos Old Fashioned, and I had the Mexican 701. Both were beautifully presented and spot-on in flavor. We started with the calamari, served in a flavorful sauce with a side of cilantro rice. It was tender, not overcooked, and paired well with the rice. For mains, we ordered the Tuna Avocado Tataki and the Pulpo La Condesa. Both dishes were fresh, vibrant, and delicious, though the pulpo portion felt a little small. Overall, this place was a hit for us. If we lived here, it would definitely be a regular spot. We'll be back next time we're in town! read more

Nice inside, pricey menu, decent service, some fantastic food & some OK food. Excellent environment for a company or group dinner, big price tag though! Great urban alternative to Ruths or similar. All in all our meal was quite nice, just hubby and I. Service was OK, a few times our server was very obviously engaged in conversation with some of her other tables and was a little delayed in checking on us. For an average $30 plate restaurant we typically expect higher quality of service; they are 'good' but not 'great'. Hubby had Chamorro Pibil ($32; slow cooked pork shank) and it was absolutely divine. I almost wished I had ordered it for myself! I ordered the salmon and it was extremely odd when I asked for medium rare that they said "they don't cook to temp with the salmon" (huh???). I was extremely worried that the salmon would come out dry and overcooked. It was good, definitely cooked fully medium, which at $32 was quite disappointing. The only thing that redeemed the dish was the peach habanero glaze, but when I pay $32 for a beautiful piece of salmon I don't particularly want to "have" to slather it in a condiment for it to taste good. Lastly, we ordered dessert - super disappointing here. The description says: "Choco Flan de Cafe: impossible espresso coffee cake / flan / cajeta / strawberries". See photo in review... What we received was completely different than expected. No "impossible espresso coffee cake" and no strawberries, just a huge chunk of flan that was basically like mildly chocolate flavored jello. We took the tiniest bite and then sent it back, and it felt like the manager gave us a bit of side eye. Server told us that they only have two desserts because people are typically so full. But if you're going to have two desserts you should have two AMAZING desserts! All in all it was a nice visit, I think next time we will order the dish that hubby got and split it. It's a nice environment, but there are other restaurants I would rather go to if I'm going to spend this much per plate. read more

Two girlfriends and I decided to try Vochos for a girls night dinner recently. We had heard good things about this new restaurant, and it lived up to the hype! We started with the fresas drink and the white sangria which were both tasty. For an appetizer, we had the pork belly bites with guac (so tasty and crispy!). I enjoyed the quesabirrias- possibly one of the best versions I've had- which comes with three tacos, beans, and broth for dipping. I also couldn't resist trying the rainbow roll, which is nothing like a traditional rainbow roll- it had hibiscus rice, mango, and shrimp tempura. It was super tasty and sweet. One friend had tacos, and the other had oysters and birria bao buns. Everything was delicious, and our server, Britney, was fantastic! Every team member that came to our table was friendly and so helpful with suggestions on food items and drinks. We had a great time, as did everyone we could see around us. Definitely an elevated Mexican dining experience, so not cheap, but worth the price! read more

Did not expect the great vibe, food or upscale experience. This is not a chain. Food and drink selections were great!. Excellent server who explained everything on the menu, answered all questions with expertise. The flavors were amazing! Definitely will be going back - a great secret in Mayfaire! read more

The prices for what little you get is criminal I ordered 3 tacos they were so tiny I could barely fold the together for 21$ it's a total rip off and they were nasty falling apart and no taste so don't waist your hard earned money read more

Great atmosphere but the food is the winner. We have been searching for a great high end Mexican place in this area and haven't been successful until now. Homemade tortillas, and flavors that please the taste buds. Best margarita we have had in a long time. The only disappointment for my husband was they don't have salsa. We will definitely be back and soon. read more

Very pretty interior and cool bar. The bartender was wonderful - great service and super friendly. The food - okay. I can't really speak to their main entrees, tacos, or ceviche though. I ordered La Reforma Cesar with grilled chicken. I really just wanted something light after a long day in the sun. But I didn't like the salad much unfortunately. The chicken was decent and I ate most of it off the plate. But the lettuce was hot? Like the salad ended up wilting and being really difficult to eat. The dressing seemed more like a vinagrette. So I unfortunately only ate the chicken and a small amount of the lettuce. This was disappointing, especially considering the amazing salad I had a week ago at a different restaurant in the area. I then ordered the Maracuya Tres Leches, mostly because I love maracuya and it sounded good. Unfortunately, also disappointing. The presentation was lovely. But the passionfruit flavor was nonexistent. It seemed just like a normal tres leches, although some parts of it were a little dry. read more

Fancy and nicely decorated place. I had steak tacos . The steak in them was very good! She had the wagu hamburger patty. Was the best burger she ever had! We tried the guacamole....was so fresh!! We will bringing a family member here during the holidays read more

They give cornbread instead of chips and salsa, but it was delicious. It is pricey but you are getting quality, and the drinks are big! I would avoid getting the cauliflower but would highly recommend the tostadas and the quesabirria! I think the bar has a better atmosphere vs the window with a lot of car traffic. Also a better atmosphere in the evening read more

Just enjoyed a delicious meal with friends for New Year's Eve. The atmosphere was great & the staff were the perfect amount of friendly & helpful. The dining experience started with delicious craft cocktails, accompanied by the best corvina ceviche and birria bao buns. But the best was yet to be enjoyed. I had the paella and the octopus was the most tender I've had. The remaining entrees were just as delicious. read more

Very nice upscalish restaurant, service was great! "Ramen" birria was very good, very generous of meat. Quesabirrias tacos were great, also generous with yummy consommé. Fresh guacamole and chips both could use some salt. Tres leches cake was wonderful as well, even though we did not get ice cream. We will be back! read more

Huge shout out to Vochos Restaurant and the owner Alex! If you haven't been to this restaurant, I highly recommend trying it! We had a fairly large group there last night to celebrate some birthdays. The service, drinks, food and atmosphere was amazing! Alex came to our table and was so wonderful! I honestly can't say anything remotely negative! So, if you're interested in trying something new, and want to have a great meal, go to Vochos! I doubt you will be disappointed! Thanks Alex! read more

Amazing food and service. Drinks were delish as well. The menu is unlike any other around. Highly recommend this place.

Stopped in based on a recommendation from a friend. I also highly recommend. Beautiful interior and atmosphere. Elevated Mexican food with many unique offerings. Food was amazing and so was the service. We ordered the Ceviche Tigre, birria Tacos, and the indecencia sushi. All very good. Juan was our waiter and was also amazing. We will be back for sure. Definitely put this one on your list of "must try" restaurants in the Wilmington area!! read more

My wife and I swung in for an early lunch following her eye doctor's appointment and it was amazing! Our server Brittany was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and quick to help with my wife's needs, being as she was having a difficult time seeing. In addition, the three other members of the staff who helped us (the host, a second server who helped and the gentleman bussing the table) were very friendly, polite and professional. As for the food... we will be back! The baos were our favorite, but the pork belly guac and tacos were also top notch! The management and owners should be proud of their staff and the quality of food. Given this day and age where so many restaurants have a "you get what you get" mentality, Vochos Wilmington is the standard that others should be striving for. Thank you. We look forward to our next visit. read more

Best Mexican restaurant in Eastern North Carolina. If you think I'm exaggerating, try it. This is an independent, family owned and operated restaurant that celebrates the weird connections between American and Hispanic foods and dishes. The Birria tacos and Menudo were so delicious, I still salivate when I think about eating them. The cocktails were amazing also. They have pretty cool outdoor seating if the weather is good. The service was above and beyond! read more

Atmosphere is nice. Staff is over the top friendly and professional. Food was delicious but portions were on the smaller side. Quality over quantity for sure! Got to try all the homemade hot sauces and they were very good. We didn't love the cornbread (which is given in place of the traditional chips and salsa you get at other Mexican restaurants, however the bread is complimentary so next time we will just let them know it's not for us so they don't waste any). Overall great meal and we look forward to coming back! read more

Hello Everyone, We stopped by here for the first time on our way from Raleigh visiting Wilmington. It looked like a cool spot and had similar menu options to one of our favorites resturaunts we frequent. We ordered the Jose Jalepeno sushi, Wagyu Burger, and Quesabirrias tacos. I can say the food was all very good like high end resturaunt quality. The atmosphere was very nice and modern. The waiter was also extremly friendly, and I believe even the owner/manager stopped by to ask us how we were enjoying our food. All very great and a wonderful experience. I definitly reccomend and would come back next time we are in the area read more

If we could give ZERO STARS we would. We sat for 30 minutes with staff all attending to other tables, tables being seated after us and not one person greeted us or even offered us water. We had menus on our table so you cannot even use the excuse that maybe they thought our order was placed. Again- not even a hello or water. The restaurant was fully staffed and there is no way we weren't seen. It was NOT busy (which is not an excuse) When we watched another table seated after us being served drinks and food(30 mins after we were seated) we went to the front and when the hostess saw us, she literally hid in the kitchen. We then stood there for another five minutes before the bartender came and asked us if we wanted a table. When we explained we were asked if we wanted to sit at another table...you just cannot make this stuff up. Management and owners- you are in the wrong business to think that people are not being more choosy in this economy where to spend their money. Sorry Vochos- we will never recommend anyone here. read more

We came here this weekend and it was very good! The decor and vibes were very cool. My husband ordered a margarita and I had a passion fruit pisco sour - both very good. They started out with complimentary Mexican cornbread for the 2 of us. Very yummy. As an appetizer we ordered the tostadas with the guacamole on the side. As an entree, I had the steak tacos and added some of the guacamole from the appetizer. My husband had the quesabirria. Everything was phenomenal and the service was good. I think the only reason why it's a 4 is because they didn't have chips and salsa. The cornbread was great, don't get me wrong, but when you go to a mexican restaurant, you kind of expect chips and salsa, or at least a chips and salsa option as an appetizer. We will definitely go back! read more

Good date night spot. The food is excellent, cocktails were solid and the service was great. I took a party of ten and we were there around 5. We pretty much had the place to ourselves, but it started filling up as we got close to 6. The entrees were varied and unique. It was a little higher end so I won't be going all the time - had almost a trendy dance club vibe to it. But as a place to go for an occasion (we went for my son's birthday) I liked it. read more

This was our second time here and the food is really good. The fusion of flavors on both the drinks and food match perfectly. We have ordered seven items on the menu so far and not one miss. Even the side beans and rice are outstanding. Servers are great, even the ones obviously in training, and the bartenders are phenomenal. Give this place a try, you won't regret it. Birria bao buns are a must try! read more

First time trying this place, just opened about 5 days ago and I can say I truly loved it. Very friendly staff, greeted right away, poured water for me, brought out some nice cornbread with seasoned butter, and the enchilada came out fabulous and extremely tasty.
